FATHER ADMITS
TAKING GIRL, 6,
FROM VIRGINIA
Court Fight Ponds
Over Custody

Mary Peyton Stranska, 6-year.
old daughter of Nine. Anna Stran-
ska, of Falls Church, Va, and Dr..
Pavel stransky, Czechoslovakian
diplomat. who disappeared yester.
day afternoon from her grand
fathers home in Falls Church, IL
safe and we'll and in the custody
of her father.
James r. Murphy, Washington
attorney, who represents the diplo-
mat, declared today that 1t was
the father himself who drove UP
to the home Of the Rev. J. B.
Henry, father of Nine. Stranska,
and took the child.
Seeks Reconciliation
The father hopes, the attorney
said, that there may be a recoa-
Citation. Otherwise he will enter
suit in United States District
Court to establish custody.
A conference between attorneys
was held last night in an effort to
straighten out the tangle which
has stirred local diplomatic circles.
Murphy said:
Nine. Stranska took the child
without the knowledge or con-
sent of DR.. Stransky in Singa-
pore a year ago and returned to
Virginia.
"As soon as he could obtain
leave from his diplomatic post
he came here, and yesterday he
took the child just as the mother
had done.
There was litigation pending
in Virginia for custody of the
child, but apparently DR.. Stran-
ska was dissatisfied with the de.
lays, and feared he could not
remain here long enough for
court action.
Hope for Solution
Yesterday, acting without
advice, he went to Virginia
and took the child. Then he
telephoned me what he had
done. I talked to the child
myself over the telephone and
she seemed in fine spirits and
happy to be with her father.
I'VE are all hoping for q
happy solution of this affair
and that it may lead to recon.
citation Of the parents. Other
wise we shall have to go into
the courts"
Nine. Stranska. who married
the diplomat 10 years ago when
he was first secretary of the
CzechoSlovakian Legation here,
rushed to the legation last night
and made an appeal to Vladimir
Hurban, the minister, to aid her
in recovering the child. She ex.
planned:
MY daughter is a Czech, and
under the law I became a Czech
when married my husband.
So, naturally, I appealed to the
legation for aid.
I'VE are taking every step to
secure the return of my baby.
and I am sure she will be back
shortly"
No Official Report
Sheriff Howard Fields. of Ar.
lington county, from where the
child was taken, said no official
report of the incident had been
made to him.
No report was made to Metro
politan Police until Murphy tele-
phoned them today that the
father has the child.
Nine. StranSka denied reports
that She has entered suit for

She Flies Through The Air

BROADWAY SHOWGIRL EARNS COMMERCIAL PLOTS LICENSE

 Flying planes in the blue, flying feet in the ballet ..
 All of which is meant to give you some idea of the life dainty, 22-year old Ursula Sieler leads.
 Jackie, as she is known to her friends, a dancer now appearing in the Broadway revue Babes in Arms" is not coneent with floating around the stage. She must fly.
 She has just become a registered commercial pilot, with over l20 hours of solo flying to her credit.
 About six years ago, Jackie got her yen for aviation, but 1t wasn't until August of 1886 that she flew 1 for the first time. A publicity stunt was the cause of that, and once she got up in the air they couldn't get her down. A group of Broadway show girls was sent to a country club on Long Island to play in Q golf match. Jackie was in that group. During the course of the match, an airplane missed the land- ing field and came down on thefair- way. The ever clever publicity man

HollyWood.-Of all practical jokes, perhaps the most practical was the one supposed to have been played on 6 certain Hollywoodsman whose steady and copious drinking was worrying his friends. They decided to shock some sense into him.
 So while he was out bending an elbow In his favorite taverns one evening, his pals invaded his apartment with crew of workmei. (One of the friends owned the apart- ment buildingJ
 They then proceeded to turn the room almost literally upside down. The rug was nailed to the ceiling. Legs of chairs, table, lamps and bed were bolted to the ceiling. Mattress and covers were fastened to the bed. Wallpaper was pasted on the floor, shades arranged so they appeared to roll from the bottom up.
 The tenant came home stiff as poker, groped around and finally went to sleep on the floor. Next morning. with @ head like bal. loon, he stirred, stared and screamed.
 Obviously, his head WAS balloon. for here he was. flat tened against the ceiling, and there below him was his room and the empty, disarranged bed from whclh he must have floated.
 He had bad time trying to jump from what he thought was the ceiling to what seemed to be the floor. Finally he noticed the door, staggered out Into world Of new sanity. Hasn't touched Q drop since.

First Lady,, Q brilliant comedy presenting lovely Kay Francis in the finest role of her screen career, be- gan a three day engagement at Warner Brothers State theater this afternoon.
 She plays the role of an ambitious wife in the story who tries to man. euver her husband into the White house, 50 that she can be the per- son that the story's title describes. Preston Foster plays her husband.
 But there are other soclalite ladies in the Capital who have the same idea. Chief among these is Verree Teasdale, who has the same idea about her own husband. This is Walter Connolly, who is Q tired, more or less henpecked oldster.
 There is Q fanatieal, be-spectacled leader of a woman's reform group, who controls millions of women'S votes = and of course the chief rivals go out for her support. This old gal is none other than Louise Fazenda. So you can see the comic possibilities.
 To add to the confusion there's Q new and handsome young politician Victor Jory for whose influ- ence and oratorical assets, Kay Francis and Verree Teasdale con- tend. And Q lovely young deb from the South - Anita Louise - with whom he is in love.
 Over the tea tables, the girls get together and manipulate politics to suit their own feminine fancy-and incidentally to get an edge on each other socially. The fued between Kay Francis and Veree Teasdale which started over the theft of a cook, forms the highly hilarious theme of the film. Each is deter mined to keep the other out of the White House at almost any cost. To them, politics Is @ purely personal matter.
 It Is deftly handled parlor col1l- edy, sparkling with wit, superbly acted by a hand-picked cast. Kay Francis turns her dramatic ability to sophisticated comedy with telling effect.

The pilot who took her up the first time has been her inc structor ever since.
