Value Of Wife Is Appraised In
 Courts Verdict
British Judges Rulings and Laymen's Estimates Are
 Quoted in Paper
(By The ASsoclated Press)


 London, Feb. 10, = The fact that in the past II months to Is aggreived hus bands had been awarded a total of more than $150,000 damages for the loss of their wives by British di- Vorce court judges inspir- ed the Daily Herald to make inquiries among the clergy and then among the judges.
 The former were senti- mental with such words as the value of a wife is priceless, or it all de- pends on the wife, As the judges wouldn't talk the papers representative had to cite their most recent cases; then he caIled up three average husbands.
 Here is what Justice Langton said when aWard- ing 4000 pounds .o MT. Meyern-Hohenberg form- CT Austrian baron, and what Justice HiIbery said earlier, when awarding 10 pounds damages (instead of the 30 claimed) to A. E. Mathews of Widnes, Lanca shire:
 Justice L2ngton-The petitioner, a man of refine ment. has had his wife taken from him in circum- stances of ignominy. A man of refinement would feel that more keenly than a man of coarser fiber.
 Justice Hilbery-I do not value this wife at anything (Continued on Page Three.

League May Not
 Impose The Oil
 Embargo on Italy
Diplomats Express Belief That Oil Embargo Will
 But Increase Feeling
(By The Associated Press)

tby The ASSoclated freSS'
 Undated, Feb. 10, The probability that the Leag- ue will not impose an oil embargo was seen in diplo- matic discussions in Gene
 va today, where the oil embargo is under study, as a supplement to other sanc- tions.
 Recent developments in the Mediterranean area, in cluding nationalist riots in Egypt and Syria, have dem onstrated what the British have feared throughout the Ethiopian struggle that the continuation of the war between white and col 
 ored races is likely to have repercussions against oth- CT flags.
 Another revealed indi- cation was that such sane tions as already have been put into effect, have failed.
 Oil experts say they are not too certain that the supply of oil could be shut off. Many diplomats have declared that more League sanctions directed against Italy would do nothing but cause more unfriendliness.

 He said: "Dr. Greist in- formed this office that the ESkimos at Point Barrow were cold and starving, and had humps. We ansW- cred that it was impossible to ship fuel there, and ask ed why, some estimated thirty thousand reindeer at Point Barrow could not supply the necessary food"
 The wire from Barrow said the Eskimos now live in frame buildings and it is impossible for them to keep warm unless they use deposits of crude petrol- cum, which they always expected to gather when they lived in igloos, where their oil lamps kept them warm. Lamps will not keep a frame building warm, said the wire.

Marietta For
The Little

Naughty Marietta" the picture
in which jeanette Macdonald and
Nelson Eddy sang their way into
your hearts, comes back to the
Little Theater for the third time,
starting Thursday, October l.
The picture version of Victor
Herbert's delightful operetta is
rightfully in the small group Of
ever-popular musical films. But
few operettaS have proven so
adaptable to the motion pictures.
The fairy-tale plot of a princess
who ran away to a foreign land
to escape a distasteful marriage,
to find romance in the person
Of rugged pioneer, and to suf-
fer the usual parental opposition,
was the basis of some of the most
beautiful light opera music ever
written.
One Of the real musical treats
ever offered through the medium
of the screen is the duet of Jean
nette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy
singing "Sweet Mystery Of Life. 3"
And those other lovely arias, I'm
Falling in Love With Someone"
and italian Street Song" and
Meath the Southern Moon," are
likewise unforgettable.

seldom q theater's. Consequently
Manager steve Cochran was
amused, rather than amazed yes
terday, to find that contention is
made that the National Theater
name, site, and tradition is 1876
years old rather than beginning
its 101St season.
Mr.. Cochran takes defense In
the record. In this case it is the
authorized History Of the New
National Theater." written in 1885
by Alexander Hunter and j. H.
Polkinhorn, on the occasion Of the
golden anniversary, or fiftieth mile
stone. The official information in
this volume was taken from the
files of the National Intelligencer
and the Washington Star.
WHAT HISTORY SAYS
On the opening of the first Ma
tional Theater in 1885, the his.
tory plainly says:
"In the fall of 1888 the spa
ciOus edifice was completed, and
at a meeting of the stockholders
on November 3, the subject of a
fitting name was brOached, and
the members invited to propose
a title. After each one had
made his speech and submitted
his choice, the committee unani-
mousIy decided to call this
virgin theater the NATIONAL.
The name was typical 1t was
to be q house of entertainment,
not so much for its own clan
niSh citizens, as for the repre-
sentatives of the whole Union;
therefore, when the corner stone
was laid it had that appropriate
American word carved on its
granite"
This is from the authorized
record, leaves grave doubts that
the original owners would have
unanimously adopted a name al
ready preempted by any earlier
enterprise.
Those who would contend that
an earlier National existed on the
site of the old Patent Office or
General Post office are con-
founded by this from the same
record:
"Probably the first theatrical
performance that took place in
Washington was given in the
year Of 1900, at the GREAT
HOTEL a tavern Of consider
able proportions, which was
kept by a man named BlOdgett,
and was located on the ground
now occupied by the General
Post Office. The plays that
were presented on that occasion,
or the actors who participated,
cannot be aScertained, but there
is authentic record that the per-
fOrmance took place."
So the National Theater begins
it's 101st season tonight and you
can save your gold tickets as au-
thentic souvenirs of the occasion.
Mr.. Cochran relies on his little
red book, whose facts, I'D to this
time, have never been in issue.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I am going to let you peek into
my mail and help me out, and
Producer Edward Small, of R-K-O-
Radio pictures, on what he con.
siderS a problem. Read this letter.
Dear Andy:
AS you probably have heard,
we are shortly going to start pro-
ductiOn on the film version Of
Kate Douglas Virgins play,
Mother Carey's Chickens"
InaSmuch as Ginger Rogers
will play her first dramatic role
in this film, we expect it to be
one of our most important pic
lures. Edward Small will be the
producer.
1t Is Mr.. Small'S present inten-
tiOn to retain this title. InaS-
much as Mother Carey's Chick
ems" was an American classic for
years, he believes that there is
enough flavor to its classic
memory to warrant the title be-
ing retained. However, he has
received requests from several
exhibitors asking that the title
be changed to something "mOre
modern" Exhibitors requests,
which usually voice the opinion
Of their public, should naturally
be given full consideration. How.
ever, Mr.. Small wonders, in this
particular case, II these opinions
are justified.
Several of Mr.. SmalI's most
successful productions have re.
tanned the titles Of the classics
on which they were based, for
example, "The Count of Monte
CristO" and "The Last Of the
MOhicanS."
Since he is still undecided
about this matter, Mr.. Small sug-

Enrol Flynn is being quietly
