PEACE HELD BACK
BY THREE FACTORS
Carnegie Endowment Report Cites
Sino-Japanese Controversy
as First of List.

b. the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 2-The Sino-
japanese controversy, disarmament and
international trade barriers were held
the most pressing problems affecting
world peace in the annual report of
DR.. James Brown Scott of Washing
ton as secretary of the Carnegie En-
dowment for International Peace, made
public here
The report was devoted principally
to review Of the events in the Far
East since September 1881, efforts to
bring about peace and the attitude of
the United States.
The governments seem to have ex-
hauSted their efforts under the nine
power treaty and the pact Of Paris
to bring about the peaceable settlement
of the conflict in the Far East" this
section concluded, but there remains
to the League of Nations further re-
course under article 16 of the covenant
should the recommendations for set
tlement adopted by the assembly be
not accepted by both parties to the
dispute
In a review of efforts toward arma-
ment limitation the report quoted a
portion of an article by Norman H.
Davis summarizing the first phase of
the Geneva Conference as indicating
what might be expected in the
future:
Now, standing at this mile post,
we look ahead. We realize that dis
armament is but subordinate problem
in far larger question of peace. We
are fully cognizant of the fact that it
Is not solely moral or a technical
problem. The scale of armaments is
barometer which records the inter-
national political weather"

picture which will probably take three
weeks or more to shoot.
One of the strangest expenditures
of that strange class Of individuals
known as motion picture produce"
was the purchase of that lovely book
of essays, by Max Miller, called Il Gov
er the Water Front" Aside from the
title and the books popularity, there
could be nothing in the content out Of
which the most astute story teller could
make a gelatin drama-or even a COM
edy. But the producers. accustomed
tread-if not tangels-considered the at
moSphere of the story such that they
got bargain when they bought 1t at
popular literature prices.
The atmosphere-exquisitely written
as it was-was such as any one with
ears and eyes could get staEding on
the water front and such as any direc-
tor could have brought to any water
front picture. However the boys wrote
story around the situation Of a water
front reporter-smuggling Chinamen-a
little love-a little hatred-a little COM
edy-and a good deal Of fine camera
work.
Ben Lyon was excellent as the re-
porter and Claudette Colbert very sweet
in the role of the girl. Hobart Cava
naugh remains the most interesting fig
ure in the picture-an INDECENT re-
porter, passively looking for a job,
chiefly by talking about it. who gratis
an existence from Ben Lyon, complains
about the quality of his gin. the lack
Of physical comfort in the little water
front apartment, and whose philosophy
and humor are sort of Greek chorus
against which the story is played. 1t
is one Of the best characteriZations seen
in pictures of recent times.
Ernest Torrance as the fisherman
who smuggles Cinnamon into Califor-
MIA over the Mexican border is capable
and a couple of other characters fill
out what was fairly economical cast
and give us pleasant, if not memorable
evening.

ANCIENT STORY
is RETOLD At
THE COLUMBIA
Dorothy Jordan
Gets Little Chance
IN Ne,u Film.

The story of the unmarried mother,
q delicate and ofttimes over emphasized
subject even when we'll handled, has
for some reason been chosen by Fox
producers as vehicle in which to star
Dorothy Jordan, diminutive dancer and
ingenue actress, who plays the leading
role In Bondage" at the Columbia.
Although one recognizes and fully ap-
preciates Miss Jordan's potentialities as
a dramatic actress and the charm she
displays in young-mother roles (as In
The West Parade"), one somehow can
not suppress the feeling that she has
been ill-cast in this picture and that
the producers were hard pushed for
material when they consented to f1lm 1t.
| Miss Jordan, however, makes the
most of her fate and displays, In the
rare opportunities she is given, the
artistry long admired. 1t would seem
that more fitting story could be found
| for her.
