Kelly Stresses Necessity

Tells lowe Republicans Mostsr
Strotesist Must Give-Woy

He declared that at tine Nation
al Convention 1--WE could well be
unorthodox."
Party platforms in the past,
he said, were broad outlines of
problems or simple recognition
of problems, frequently with an
implied promise to do something
about it,"
81 hope the Republican Party
will write a program instead of
drawing a platform-a program
as completely worked out as the
best thinking of our most able
leaders will permit - a program
so courageous that il will attract
attention SO plaintly written
that it can be easily understood
so outstanding in contrast as
to eliminate all doub BIT as to
where the leadership of this
great country belongs"
Dec laring "We should be
grateful our sons are in such
good hands" as those of our nav
al and military leaders in fight
ing the war. he said the nation
is challenged to elect a president
of stature and vision, and that it
should be made clear that if
there is a Republican election
victory "these capable leaders
will not be disturbed"

Decisions at the National Re-

Kelly told the convention, urg-

Mann Act violation charges
against Chaplin.
Chaplin, the great comic
of silent picture days, gestured
frequently as he testified in
tones that frequently rang
through the courtroom.
Alternately he turned to his
attorney, Gerry Giesler, the
jury and to Federal Judge j. F.
T. O'Connor. Obviously it was
one of the biggest dramatic roles
he has ever played.
Nattily attired and the Gym
osure of a packed courtroom,
Chaplin testified Miss Berry
broke into his home the night of
Dec. %, 1912, threatened to kill
him with q pistol she flourished,
and later said she was going TO
kill herself.
She refused 10 leave, the actor
declared, and finally he permit
ted her to spend the night in a
room separated from his by a
bathroom and a door he said he
locked himself.
The next morning, the witness
said, she departed, leaving the
gun, after he gave her $50 and
promised her more.
Earlier Giesler referred to the
night when Chaplin testified
Miss Berry accompanied him to
his Waldorf-Astoria Hotel suite
and when she alleges he was in
innate with her.

The fact that Macomb Coun-
tvs contribution to the Detroit
food larder is a major one, and
that the metropolis depends
considerably on county produc-
ers, is pointed out by truck gar
deners who recently had their
stall rents raised from $50 to
SIS year for single stalls, and
from Sl20 to $3.50 for two-party
stalls.
They protest that OPA price
ceilings on produce keep their
incomes down, yet rents have
been raised TO a level which
may force some of them to aban-
don the market.

formed, they state, an effort
will be made TO persuade De-

by Alice George as Mrs. Ford, for
instance, would not offend the ear
when clothed in a more or less un-

completely deglamourized and it is
questionable If that is desirable.
The singers however. surpass their
conferes of the traditional type by
achieving more charm, naturalness
and gayety in their acting. Well
trained vocally, their main endeavor
seemed to be to portray the char
acterS in action as we'll as in singing.
Alice George and Vera Weikel as
Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page, respec-
lively, were sprightly pair fully
matched by the earnestness of Mr..
Ford and Mr.. Page as sung by Carlos
Sherman and Stuart Gracey. John
Harold as Fenton and Helen Van
Loon as Anne Page provided the au-
thentic love interest of the story.
Nicolai's music is melodic and
gay. but without the stamp of great
originality. Arias and duets abound,

That lively group OF young Ameri-
can singers known as the Nine
O'Clock Opera Company returned
to Constitution Hall last night for
another Of its specialties-the pre-
sentation of opera in English, in
modern dress and without staging.
For this years appearance on G. C..
Cappel's concert series Nicolai's
comic opera, 'The Merry Wives of
Windsor" was chosen. Although the
plot is familiar both in Shake
speare's original comedy and in
Verdi's opera, 'Falstaff," the set
ting of Nicolai is less we'll known.
In the adaptation made by Carl
Bamberger for the Nine O'Clock
Opera Company's use, the music is
condensed, the scenes shortened and

narrator, Gean GreenWell.
Mr.. Greenwell also has translated
the text into English and written
the bits of dialogue that are in

busy man throughout the per-
