GLORIA MAY TELL
ORIGIN OF LETTERS
Sixth Week of Vanderbilt
Trial Begins-SorroW
Notes in Spotlight.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 3.-Gloria
Vanderbilt, 10-year- -old heiress, may
be called back to the Supreme Court
next week to tell Supreme Court JUS
tice John F. Carew what part Of the
letters she wrote her grandmother
three years ago was her own idea.
The celebrated trial for the custody
of the little girl goes into its sixth
week on Monday. despite all the ef-
forts of Justice Carew to wind 1t up
yesterday. One of the things that
prolonged it was the letters.
Written in 1881, when Gloria was Z
years old, they told of the child's un-
happiness at the life she was leading
with her mother-being dragged
around Europe with only her nurse
for companionship. Many OF the let
ters were addressed by Gloria to her
grandmother. Mrs. Laura Fitzpatrick
Morgan. who has testified she thinks
the little girl would be best OF with
her aunt, Mrs Harry Payne Whitney.
NTGnSIITS TTtCcucS ACtsciSs
Hours of legal wrangling preceded
the introduction of the letters, and
when they were introduced yesterday.
Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt spent
more hours undergoing cross-exami-
nation about them.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, who is trying to
get legal custody of her daughter.
contended that some Of the express
sions in the letters we're too mature
for q child of 7. She said Glori1
could not have written as she did un-
less some one had dictated to her
presumably Emma Sullivan Keislich,
Gloria's nurse.
Mrs. Keislich has already testified
that she dictated expressions of af-
fection in Gloria's letters to her
mother because she thought they were
called for.
Once Said Aunt Fav0rite.
Gloria has already paid one visit to
the court house and Justice Carew.
1t was learned she told him emphatic
ally she wanted to stay with her
aunt.
The prolonged trial enters new
week with Mrs Vanderbilt still facing
a period of cross-examination, and
with at least six witnesses still to be
called on her behalf. With election
day falling in the coming week, and
with the possibility of another inter-
ruption for the child's testimony, no
one would predict today when it all
would end.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, 2e-year-old widow,
collapsed and became i'll under the
friendly examination of her own
lawyer. but surprised everybody by
bearing up much better under cross
examination. She will have more OF

WORK At JAIL

Discussing the labor performed by

the feeling CT members of the Coun-
ty Central Labor Council expressed
in their meeting last night that
some action should be taken to de-
termine whether or not this labor
is in competition with free labor in
any way. A committee was appoint
ed to investigate the matter thor
oughly.
1t was brought out in this discus
sion that while it is perfectly salts
factory to punish laWbreakers, yet
in cases of this kind if lawabiding
citizen is displaced in some work
by lawbreakers, the citizens would
be punished.
A resolution was passed endorsing
q similar resolution of the Imperial

ing the practice of certain oil COM

the valley to build filling stations
and do other similar construction
work. 1t was believed that there is

Shakespeare,
Played Here,
Wins Praise
Romeo and Juliet" Is o.
fered by Washington S
Own Community Players.

4 IL the tragedy of the Inflated love
of Romeo and Juliet lives again
in the version of Mr.. Shakespeare's
masterpiece which is offered by the
Washington Community Players in
Roosevelt Auditorium. Uniformly the
players read the bards lines in a
fluent manner, which makes for GER
tain enjoyment.
The finest individual piece of acting
in the production-in fact one of the
finest seen on local stages recently
is John Sikken's Mercutio. He dies
with perfection in the scene where
he is stabbed in a duel, and last night
he was the focal point of attention
in all of his brief moments on the
stage. Two others. in more or less
subordinate roles, turn in perform
ances which outshadow the leading
characters. Mabel Owens Wilcox de-
serves three or four stars for her
grand playing of Juliet's nurse. and
Thomas NJ Cahill, as Friar Lawrence.
adds another to a long list of fawless
characterizations. He can't turn in
a bad performance
This is not meant to detract in any
way from the praise due those with
more important parts. You may
hereby be assured that the advance
rumors that Juliet is a knockout"
are fully correct; unless understate-
ment may be charged. Bess Jones
Winburn, handsome blond young lady
from Atlanta. who is making her first
local appearance. does beautifully by
Juliet. She holds the audience en-
thralled in the balcony scene and in
her monologue just before she drinks
the potion which will make it possible
for her to meet her Romeo. Said
Romeo is done by Howard Whitfield
with enthusiastic sadness. The young
man works hard and gives a very
creditable performance.
Among the others who read their
Shakespeare effectively and coherently
and perform with glibness are Theo-
dore Freter, Herman Riess, Robert
Halstead, Jean Smith, Jesse Veitch,
Christine Irish. Kent Dyer, Charles
Beck. Paul Murphy and H. Stanley
Protheroe
In revising Romeo and Juliet"
BesS Davis Schreiner has done a most
effective piece. of work. Most of the
non-essentialS have been eliminated

you have not seen the stage version,

have had a certain something which
it seems to lack on celluloid. The
screen version. however, is a hand

stay four weeks anywhere it must be
good.
If you have not seen "Barretts" it
may be wise to do so, If for no other
reason that to see the portrayal for
which one Charles Laughton is re-

rett he is the most self-centered and
despicable reptile that ever lived; he

Rogers Cast
In Drama of
Many Thrills
Confederate Glory Shines
Out in Story of Judge
Priest"

WILL ROGERS is cast in the best
role of his long career. as Judge
Priest" showing this week at the
Palace.
The story has a real plot-some-
thing strangely lacking in some of
Wills earlier vehicles-and his sup
porting cast is given something to do
besides support" That is to say,
the show isn't just Will Rogers
Will is cast as a judge in an old
Kentucky town in 1890, a Confed-
crate veteran, whose chief pastime
is playing croquet with his cronies of
the War of the Confederacy," in
terSperSed with bit of matchmaking
for his youthful nephew Jerome (Tom
Brown.
Jerome is in love with a neighbor
girl. Ellen May Gellespie (Anita
Louise). to whom his mother objects
because she has no family"
In the town is sort of nondescApt
man, about whom the people know
nothing, and learn nothing, for he
talks little. He is Bob Gillis David
Landau, who gets himself hailed into
court on a charge of asSaulting one
OF the local Beau Brummels.
Jerome, a young attorney, is hired
to defend Gillis in his first case, and
naturally, is elated AS the trial
begins Senator Maydew, prosecutor,
asks that Judge Priest be ruled out as
preJudiced. Another judge is named.
as VIII steps from the bench. voluble
with the homely philosophy which has
endeared him to American picture
goers.
The trial is the story Senator Nav
dew has the case ''sewed up" as the
defendant refuses to talk. Then Will
steps into the defense, as a member of
the bar. and, while Stepin Fetchit and
some of the colored boys offer Dixie
outside the open windows, plays on
the sympathies of jury made up of
Confederate veterans like himself.
The jury is told how the defendant
made hero of himself in the Con-
federate cause; how he was a man of
answering truth, and, the big de-
nouement of all, that he is the father
Of Ellie May. the neighbor girl to
Whom Jerome'S mother objects, and
assaulted the local boy" in defense of
the girls honor.
The trial is held on the day Of a
big Confederate reunion, and. with
real melodrama, the acquitted man
marches at the head of the parade
carrying the Stars and Bars.
There's no denying the thrill of a
flfe-and-drum corps knocking of
Dixie" as a band of Confederates
give its yell, and the picture has a
real bang-up finish. 1t is good
show, and every member of the family
will enjoy it-understand it-and
probably will be more than a little
thrilled at it.
In addition, there's Will Ma
