A COUPLE of years ago the M-G-M
picture people took story by
Hugh Walpole, "vanessa," equipped it
with cast OF some Of the most tai
ented people on the lot, and made a
fine motion picture They stretched
the title out to "Varessa: Her Love
Story" so it would be understood by
every one, but it still was good film.
And it still is good at the Little, where
1t now is being revived
"VaneSSa" is an absorbing and
poignantly told story of the young
lady's adventures and all of its emo-
tions are pointed more effectively by
reason that the central role Is being
played by Miss Helen Hayes. Miss
Hayes has done some fine things on
the stage and screen and she did not
miss in "Vanessa," either. The other
chief claimant to fame in the film
IS Miss Hayes co-star, Robert Mont
gomery, who is much easier to put up
with in a case like this, where he
Is not gay playboy.
And the rest Of the William K.
Howard directed cast reads something
like a list Of who's who among the
stellar supporting players. There are
May Robson, Otto Kruger, Lewis
Stone, Henry Stephenson, Jessie
Ralph, Violet Kemble- Cooper, Aileen

raft Of Others

selfish wife, and the generous, in
telligent "other woman" 1t requires
quite change of viewpoint to move
from one to the other, but you never
have any qualms about Miss Draper
making it. Each Of the characters
represents searching study, the re-
suits of which are interpreted with
remarkable clarity
Incidentally Three Women and
Mr.. Clifford" is an excellent illustra-
ton Of Miss Draper's well-knoWn tol-
erance as dramatist The role of
the wife might have been tinged with
vlnd1ctiveness or malice in the hands
OF another dramatist. Miss Draper

mastery Of the art Of acting, not only
creates persons (and pigs but automo-
biles, cathedrals, thatched cottages or
any other large or small item that the
illusion of the moment demands.
There is no name for what Miss
Draper does. Her performance is an
amazing thing. One could call it
magic, but magic on the stage is asso-
ciated with pulling rabbits out Of hats,
not ancient Italian churches out OF
mere space. The power of the illusion
she creates is a thing one can feel
completely. One does not need to
understand it.
In four character sketches, Miss
Draper played nine parts last night.
Each Of those nine characters she sur
rounded with whatever other persons
and whatever background was needed
to give the personality and action a
completeness that is enthralling with
out ever losing simplicity.
X X X
zach Of the nine characters was
startlingly different from the others.
Without changing makeup, Miss
Diapers face was transformed from
that OF an English noblewoman into
that Of an Irish peasant; from that OF
An efncient secretary to the lacquered
lady who was the wife of her boss.
In another sketch, one moment she is
q coquette, the next an anguished ma
donna. Each expression is a COM
pletely different one, entirely trans
forming the actress face.
No wonder there is no name for It,
that the word "diseuse" which nor
mally applies to this type OF art has
been universally discarded by COM
mentators on Miss Diapers work
Utter simplicity marks everything
In her generous repertoire. Of you
don't start wondering how she does
1t, Of course.)
Her sketches are human enough for
. child to understand And for a
twentieth century Aristotle to enjoy
whole-heartedly. Miss Draper writes
them all herself, of course, and the
writing and Interpretation seem to be
essentially the same great gift-life IS
TO Miss Draper, hers to you.

Rate.

The Districts death rate from al
coholism is higher than that for As
OF the States, according to a special
report made public today by the Gen.
sus Bureau.
The report, covering deaths from al
coholism through the period from 1910
through 1885, shows the District in
1895 had "A deaths per 100000, as

worse record than the District were

The District rate has remained al
most constant since 1888. when pro-
hibition was repealed. In the last year
of prohibition the rate was 80. The
lowest rate in District history was in
1918, when the death rate was 90 per
100000, and the highest rate was in

CONTEMPT VERDICT
|SEXPECTED TODAY
Ruling to Settle Power of
Congress Committee
Subpoenas.

OF vital importance to Congress
sional investigating committees, the
issue Of how binding subpoenas OF
such authorities are, is due for deter
mination by a District Court Jury
today.
Arising in the action of L. Douglas
Rice, vice president and general man
ager Of Railway Audit and Inspection
Co.. in failing to appear or produce
records before the Senate Civil Lib
critics Committee last August, the
issue has been fought over by counsel
in open court during the past three
days.
Admitting that Rice neither ap-
peared nor produced the designated
records, defense counsel has stressed
the fact that his failure was occa
stoned by his action in seeking a court
ruling on validity of the subpoena
Such failure, it is commended, was not
wilful or unlawful.
With final arguments by counsel
completed just before the luncheon
recess, presiding Justice Peyton Cor
don was to charge the jury immediate
ly on recovering.
Directing his plea principally to the
attitude of Chairman lie Toilette,
Leonard Weinburg of defense counsel
told the jury:
II know it has become the fashion
here in Washington to browbeat and
intimidate anybody who does assert
his rights. 1t is because this defendant
so dared that this action is brought
by petulant and angry men,
In his rebuttal, Champion Harris
special Government prosecutor, en-
phasized the "wilfulness' of the de-
fandant as indicated in his alleged ef-
forts to restrain both himself and his
colleagues through court action from
appearing to testify or produce records
Making his initial argument to the
jury yesterday afternoon, Harris en-
phasized the necessity of congress
sional committees being empowered
to collect information as basis for
legislation, In this instance the in
formation being called for by SUBJ
poena. In addition. Harris referred
with emphasis to testimony by de-
tense witness that Rice went to the
hearing room on the day ordered

his name was called because he was
