JAP AN IS GIVEN
 INDIRECT CALL
Both United States, Great Britain Feel DispIeasure
 About China

Washington, Dec. 6-(UP)-Poli- tical observers today read into the simultaneous statements on far eastern matters by secretary of state Cordell Hull and British foreign secretary Sir Samuel Hoare yelled warnings to Japan to have care lest she become the next objective of the worlds peace machinery.
 Hull issued a formal and careful ly worded statement Gin regard to the autonomy movement in North China, Chinese and Japanese acti- vities in relation thereto" at almost the precise moment Sir Samuel was addressing the British house of commons in an unexpected speech that called attention to Japan'S mil- litary activities in North China.
 Constitute Tn eat
 Both statesmen stated their belief that these activities constitute a threat to the worlds peace, and both placed the Japanese govern ment on formal notice that these two great naval powers have vested rights and interests, as well as treaty obligations in China which must be respected.
 It also was regarded as signifi- cant that Hull and Sir Samuel, act ing independently, issued their warnings to Japan on the eve of the first meeting of the forthcom- ing London naval conference, at which Japan is expected to seek parity in naval strength with Great Britain and the United States.

JUDGE WILL DEFY
 ORDERS ON DEER

Nantucket, Mass, Dec. 6-(UP)- Probate Judge George M. Poland is going to shoot deer today-if he can find one-and he defies Cover nor James Curley and all his men to try and stop him. Whats more, Judge Poland, 59 year old Harvard graduate, urges all other sportsmen to ignore the governors proclama- tion closing the deer hunting sea- son on Nantucket Island. He offers to defend, gratis, any man ar- rested. Governor Curley issued his proclamation following the death of Q guide, shot by an unidentified hunter, and the wounding of an- other hunter.
 "I1l call the bluff of Governor Curley and Raymond J. Kenney, stete director of fish and game" the judge, who lives in Wakefield, ex- claimed. Nobody has been able to show me anything in the statutes authorizing the governor to close the season, except in cases of ex- trcme drought. There is no drought. There is snow on the ground"

INTERLUDES GIVEN
 BY ENGLISH ACTOR
V. L. Granville's Dramatic POrtrayals Please Audi-
 enCe at WOn1en'S Club

Eleven characterizations in cos- tune were presented by V. L. Granville, noted English actor. in his Dramatic Interludes" before an appreciative audience at the Waterbury Women's club last night. His program included rep resentations from the early Greek theater down to the present da,. during which the actors wide range of ability was amply DOT trayed.
 MT Granville, who has appeared on stages throughout the world, started with two adaptations from the ancient drama, "Oedipus Rex and concluded with the portrayal of Svengali from "Trilby" by Du Maurier. Two pieces especially liked by the audience was MT Granville's portrayal of Mrs Nal aprop" from Sheriden's play, 'The Rivals" in which the actor dressed in hoop skirts and wore wig of curls, and the interpretation of the role of "Harpagnon" from Mol iere's, "The Miser".
 MT Granville made most of his changes back of a screen on the stage, with dim light refiectinE his face while the theater remained in darkness. As he changed from role to role and costume costume, he explained the character he would portray and give brief history of whence it came.
 MT Granville prefaced his per- formances with brief explanation of the real object and function of the drama; and in the short min utes of change of costume and makeup briefly summarized the in- cident in the play and something of the character he was about Lo portray in each succeeding inter- Jude. He substituted for his Fran cois Villon interpretation the char acter of Lord Dundreary in "Our American Cousin" (Taylor). This was followed by the presentation of Cyrano de Bergerac in Rostands play of that name, in which he gave the nose" episode. Tolstoy's "The Living Corpse with one of Feyda's outstanding scenes was an- other carefully done interlude. His other interludes were "Faustus' from "The Tragical History of Dr Faustus" by Marlowe, Falstaff, from "The Merry Wives of Wind- sor' by Shakespeare, and Duke ot Gloucester, afterwards Richard III" by Shakespeare. His Richard was an admirable performance.
