Our Condolences, Mrs. Colonna. ~
Sometimes you meet . fellow who
impresses you q . quiet. Indifferent.
matter-of-fact guy. one Of tho kind
who II Of commanding mien and
marked by Mes battle In unmistak-
able ways. He always = there TO give

his greatest pleasure u the role Of
silent kibitser. rarity these days.
I recall my first Introduction to
Valentine Oolonna. It was In 1885.
I had been In Warrington only several
months ard was attending . chess
attraction at the Jewish Community
Center. Occasionally I glanced from
the seated players and the lone ex.
hibitor toward tho entrance. Not
expecting any one. I was tust looking
the crowd over. And In walked
Colonna.
He struck me at once ~ being
Westerner. He easily topped 8 feet.
Wearing . wide-brimmed. light felt,
flve-gallon, dun-colored hat, he car.
rted heavy, black walking stick.
olancing quickly over the crowd. he
walked over and casually took up .
stance behind certain players whom
I learned later were tops Of the local
gentry.
When the Warrington Ohees Divan
was initiated Colonna vas . frequent
habitus Of the Connecticut avenue
club. Later he fled his membsrship
when the divan moved TO the Park
dde Hotel. But he rarely. II ever,
devoted much time to playing chess.
He was the No. spectator II the
big boys" were on the rampage.
Yes. I am quite sure his greatest
love for chess lay IN the role Of
silent spectator. He thought Of chess
~ . moving cinema. . drama Of
might versus might, and he revelled
In . spectacle Of force, where brain
outwttted Drawn.
Although he played seldom
he loved his oheas, his club, and
h s1nsrgencies he savs sosnsd
that as good.
To-day surmiss he y mtsntly

Light Comedies
Really Call for
More Light.

WHEN they make light comedies
in Hollywood, they double the
electric crew, because they need that
much more light. Which isn't a pun.
but just plain, solid motion picture
fact.
Alexander Hall, directing Colum-
bias There's Always a Woman"
with Joan Blondell, Melvyn Douglas,
Mary Astor and Frances Drake,
pointed out while the picture was in
work that the double light allotment
for comedy not only lights up the
set. but the mood on the players as
well.
One scene, for instance, showed
an ordinary business Office in an old
fashioned building. The walls were
neutral shade of grey monotone.
But the room, and the players in it,
were rendered vivid and glowing by
the light that poured in upon them.

button from the repertoire of
j. Franklyn Viola's Gilbert and
Il Sullivan artists at the Rialto,
is not exactly the most satisfactory of
the groups productions. 1t may be
because "Iolanthe" is really not the
best Gilbert and Sullivan, but it seems
more probably due to the fact that
..'Iolanthe" lends itself less success
fully to the treatment employed by
these artists. 'Iolanthe" is shim-
mering fantasy, with its satire razor
edged-not even heavy enough to be
called knife-edged-and it does not
readily take to heavy handling. And
this troupe does tend more to bur-
lesque than to satire, which is fine
enough in many cases, but "Iolanthe'
bruises easily and heavy hands do not
set we'll upon her shoulders
There is lot of fun. of course, in
the production. which is to be repeat
ed tonight The better songs-"Faint
Heart Ne'er Won Fair Lady" by Ber-
tram Peacock. James Montgomery and
Frank Moulan; the Fairy Queens last
oSAAS w AoAuhciiS, oaii6 W IAlAllC dSO,
and the chorus and some of the others
are brought off splendidly. And
some members of the cast lend the
operetta the proper mood. Dean Dick
ems, for instance, is as lovely an Iolan-
the as you could hope to nnd. and
Kathryn Reece is a pleasant Phyllis.
John Eaton again proves he probably
is the most honest actor in the troupe
and plays and sings Strephon splen-
didly. The others do well enough ex-
cept perhaps for Frank Moulan, who
has appeared to better advantage be-
fore. He's too cute for words most of
the time here-that is too cute for the
words allowed in family newspaper
though he does adopt a manner
more suited to his role in the second
act.
Maybe there shouldn't be any quib-
bling. though. For the most part
"Iolanthe' is played adequately. 1t is
staged neatly If not gaudily. and we
still say we need Gilbert and Sullivan
these days.

BY JOHN c. HENRY,

Deadlocked House and Senate con-
ferees on the Revenue Act of 1898 took
the unusual action of ejecting all
technical assistants and committee
aides as they resumed consideration
of the controversial legislation in COM
plete secrecy.
Among nearly score of technical
advisers and consultants who were
asked to leave the conference room
was Undersecretary of the Treasury
Roswell Magill.
Although none Of the conferees
would indicate on arriving for the
session what was contemplated. the
unusual action was interpreted to
mean that definite compromise offers
were being made and some plain talk
exchanged.
The deadlock has existed since q
week ago Wednesday, with the confer
ences in recess for the past three days.
No indication has come from COM
mittee members that their minds
have changed on the deadlocked
issues of the capital gains and undis-
tributed corporate profits tax. but the
cause of the Senate group is believed
strengthened somewhat by the recon-
mendation of the Senate Unemploy-
ment Committee that the Senate ver-
sion of these two levies be accepted
Since the recommendation was based
directly on mass of nearly unanimous
testimony of economists and business
spokesmen. it is expected to carry some
weight with the tax conferees.
A further hopeful sign has been the
repeated prediction of Chairman
Doughton Of the House group that
there will be bill without absolute
surrender by either conference faction
The Senate bill would substitute a
fiat 18 per cent income tax for the
undistributed corporate profits levy
and nat Is per cent tax for the
present complicated capital gains
schedule. The House. supported by
the President, would modify the pres
ent rate schedules but would retain
present principles.

old musician. on charges Of attempt
ing to extort $4,000 from Murray

Levine vho has been missing from his
New Rochelle, N. Y, home since Feb
ruary "a.
D. M. Ladd, agent in charge Of the
Chicago office of the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation, said Lavendar "un-
doubtedly" had no connection with
the kidnapping of the boy.
He said Lavendar formerly lived in
Berkeley. Calf, and was once in the
Marine Corps.
Ladd said Lavendar sent a letter tc
the elder Levine on April IA. instruct
ing him to register at Chicago Hotel
under the name y. P. Smith" The
letter, Ladd said, directed Levine tc
bring 100000 in small bills and in
two packages, one containing S29,0 ,00C
and the other $1,000.
A Federal agent, masquerading as
Levine, registered at the hotel and
