Local Performers Are
Given Chance by
Phil Lampkin.

T ADY LUCK has smiled on some
three dozen localities who look
upon the stage as an ideal spot to

vying for place in the local limelight
and a trip to New York which will be
awarded the performer who finally is
considered the best of the lot.
Starting tomorrow, Phil will pre-
sent from the stage of the Fox one

ner for the day will be selected each
night. Next Thursday the daily win
ners will compete and the lad or lass
who tops them all will win all sorts
of loot Including possibly even a
screen test.
Phil is all enthuSed over the people
he has gathered up in his talent quest,
which, incidentally, is for persons who
have never appeared professionally in
Washington. Some of the performers,
he says, have definite futures.
The Chicken Sisters, novel Hilly
Billy exponents, will appear at today's
first stage show; Bob Bond, Irish
tenor and Walsy Scarboro, ''scat"
singer, will be heard at the second
show, and vocalist Eleanor Bourdine

the Eugene ONeill piece In fine FASH

Olga Crandall Burch, Richard Ely.
Ethel Jane Bunting and Josephine
Orendorff. pitched in with a vim and
vigor, performed with authenticity and
kept Mr.. O'Neill's suspense at the
proper pitch.
The Queens Enemies" as per-
formed by the Washington Players,
was another highly effective one
stanza drama, even If certain members
of the audience did suspect before
the chaps on the stage that the canny
queen was going to bathe them In the
waters of the Nile. The play was
bound to be effective though, with
such able local players as Yerby
Pannill, Thomas M. Cahill, Herman
P. Reiss. PAUL Murphy, Jesse Veitch.
Margery Beall and others in the cast.
Howard Whitfield directed. He might
have given the play swifter pace,
though he did fine joo as it was.
The drowning was fine.
Eleanor Boyd, Alice Louise Hunter,
Bob Morey, Terry McPhearson and
William Austin Davis were in the
cast of the entry of the Players Club
of Central Community Center. Lucy
Ann Rogers directed. Five minutes or
so of THE Same Old Thing" have
some good comedy. but some of the
lines in the play should be sent back

that he wanted them to get out under
his by-line.

Not Unmindful Of Delay.
Sydney Sun-"The stouching pic
ture of a monarch hurried by brutal
and unsympathetic advisers must dis
appear. There is no doubt the
King himself is not unmindful of the
dangers of undue delay"
Dublin Irish Independent-"Th
situation which has arisen as a result
of the Kings unfortunate infatuation
is extremely to be regretted. In no
Catholic country can any support or
countenance be given the remarriage
of divorced persons. =" The ordi-
nary man in the street is supposed to
choose the right, if difficult, path.
No less can be expected from king" "
Dublin Irish Times-"Whether OF
not he should marry Mrs. Simpson
morganatically, We believe his mar
riage would give the gravest scandal
to millions Of his most faithful SUBJ
jects in all parts of the commonwealth
$50 The crown enjoys the loyalty of
millions of Roman Catholics, not only
in Ireland but in Britain, Canada,
Australia and the colonies. They
don't recognize divorce, regarding
marriage as a sacrament, and their
views are shared by many millions of
Protestants who are intensely loyal
to the crown"
Montreal Globe and Mail-"Bald-
wins statement should dissipate the
confusion. His statement clarifies, If
it does not wholly define, the King S
own attitude. 1t was his majesty who
raised the issue and sought advice
from his ministers upon a morganatic
marriage with Mrs Simpson. The only
conclusion, therefore, is that he was
not prepared to take her as his Queen.
On this basis the issue is whether
the privileges of his private life can
be stretched to the limit Of saying that
a person unacceptable as Queen is ac-
ceptable as an uncrowned wife,"

sci for a change of venue on the
ground she could not receive q fair
trial by Wise County jury. The
judge held insufficient evidence was
presented to warrant the change.
Court attaches said IS veniremen
have been summoned to appear tomor-
row at 8 am. Thirty witnesses have
been ordered to appear by the defense
and As have received summons by the
Commonwealth.
Records showed three new wit
nesses were called by the defense and
eight by the Commonwealth who did
not participate in the original trial.
Miss Maxwell won a new trial when
her counsel carried the case to the
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
after she had been convicted and sem
fenced to rs years in the penitentiary.
Judge H. A. w. Skeen who pre-
sided at the first trial. disqualified
himself after it was disclosed he was

the hope family expressed that the
King may then have reached a de-
ciSion.
Immediate clarification was consid-
cred essential SO the empire could turn
to consideration of other pressing
problems, notably the international
situation arising from Spain's civil
war.
Meanwhile public opinion in the
British dominions beyond the seas is
solidly behind the prime minister and
opposed to King Edwards marriage
with Mrs. Simpson, if the mass of
press comment indicates the general
public trend.
At Canberra, Australia's Parliament
awaited decisive information of the
crisis. Prime Minister j. A. Lyons said
If no decision were forthcoming by
tomorrow, Parliament would adjourn
from day to day awaiting it,
Lyons said the necessity for passing
specific legislation might arise at any
moment out Of developments in Lon
don.
Sir Robert Garran, for many years
solicitor general of Australia, ex-
pressed the opinion that since the ad-
vice the Baldwin government has given
the King is also that of the dominion
government the latter would have to
stand or fall with the British cabinet.
At Pretoria the cabinet of the South
African Union met for special dis
cussion of the situation. The South
African press stressed hope the delay
in solving the crisis would be short.
Typical Expressions.
Typical expressions of dominion
opinion follow:
South Africa-The Cape Times said
Prime Minister Baldwin,s statement
put an end to reports he was exerting
undue pressure on the King.
Brisbane, Australia-The Courier
asserted Baldwin's position was no less
delicate than the Kings, since he
must. at all costs, uphold the honor
and dignity of the monarchy as well
as the King
The Brisbane Telegraph declared
Baldwin's actions were in the highest
interests of the monarchial tradition.
Melbourne Herald-"Baldwin has
removed the misunderstanding and
answered the groundless charges"
Adelaide AdVertiSer-"The remark
able demonstration in favor of Bald
win goes far to dispell any lurking
fear the difficulties of the situation
might have been exacerbated by po-
litical crisis. Baldwin also proved in
dubitably that in his counsel to the
King and his statement to Parliament
he spoke for the people of England.
He also spoke for the dominions, for
the Kings subjects overseas would
view a morganatic marriage with re-
pugnance."

CITIZENSHIP WON
BYW|NSTON GUEST
Court Upho|ds Contention He
Was Repatriated When
a Minor.

Winston Guest, noted polo player,
Is entitled to a certificate OF Amerl-
can citizensip, it was ruled late yes
terdav by Justice Jennings Bailey in
District Court.
The ruling was in response to q
petition for writ of mandamus to COM
pel Immigration Commissioner Daniel
w. Mccormack to issue to Guest
either a certificate of derivative citi-
Eenship or to alter the notation on his
certificate of entry into this country
to make it appear that he was an
American citizen.
Mother Repatriated.
Guest, New York lawyer, is the
son of an American-born mother and
a British father who are now sepa-
rataed. He came to this country with
his mother when he was minor, and
when the parent was repatriated,
Guest contended this act also con-
ferred citizenship upon him.
Guests mother was the former Amy
Phipps of Pittsburgh. She was mar
ried to Frederick E. Guest in bril-
liant ceremony in London in 1905, ana
the son was born year later. In
July, 1919, the parents entered into a
separation agreement and Mrs. Guest
and her son returned to this country.
Her repatriation followed.
Plans Political Career.
Guest, who intends to embark on
political career, always had consid-
cred himself a citizen, and he told
the court that to be known as nat
uralized citizen instead of a natural
born citizen is serious handicap.
He pointed out that he had obtained
numerous passports as an American
and had taken the oath of allegiance
on numerous occasions, including
when he was commissioned in the
Officers Reserve Corps, and on his
admission to the New York bar.
Justice Bailey's order directing
issuance of the certificate is based on
recent statutes comforting citizenship
on the minor child of repatriated
parent.
The issue of Guests citizenship was
raised when he asked Mccormack for
an advisory opinion.
