PALACE HAS
COMEDY SKIT
'In Love With Love*
Scores Success With
Patrons
The hilariously funny farce comedy.
"In Love With Love." by Vincent
Lawrence, opened at the Palace thea-
ter Sunday night under the direction
of Walter S. Baldwin. The play is
in three nctR and the action covers a
period of »even days.
To nay that the audience enjoyed
"In Love With I>ove" is putting it
mildly. The piece is just one long
scream and howl from the first mo-
ment of action to the drop of the
curtain at the finale. Don Burroughs,
who scored so heavily last week in
"The Common Law," has a great deal
to say and says it well. Playing op-
posite Burroughs is Eveta Nudsen
in the leading feminine role. Miss
Nudsen's performance is better than
usual this week and her role is a very
difficult one.
William Melville carries the role
of Frank Oak<s and plays opposite
Ray Hawlings in the part of Hobert
Metcalf. The dramatic capabilities of
both of these actors are taxed to the
utmost in the performance of their
difficult roles and both are showing
up in splendid fashion. The por-
trayals of these two are those of two
men, one middle-aged, the other very
young, who are both desperately in
love with a young woman who con-
stantly dangles them at the end of
a string. Flora Gade this week in
seen as Julia the maid. Francis
Fraunie has the part of William Jor-
dan, father of the girl. The only other
woman in the cast is Georgia Meece,
who enacts Marion Sears, a young
divorcee.
In the first net Ann Jordan breaks
her engagement with Bobbie Metcalf
to become engaged to Frank Gakes.
one of those men who are bragging
constantly about their own capabili-
ties in business and elsewhere.
Finding his company unbearable,
she tells her troubles to Jack Gard-
ner, a young engineer who is visiting
her father, and he attempts to patch
things up between the girl and Bob-
bie. the younger man.
The result, of his effort is a fight
between Bobbie and Frank and the
complete estrangement of the girl and
both men. In the meantime he has
fallen desperately in love with the
girl himself.
The really big moment for both Don
Burroughs and Eveta Nudsen comes
in the final moments of the play.

approve of the plan and hurried Ko-
retz to an uptown hotel.
Representatives of the Chicago Ti-
tle and Trust company Bre suid to
have questioned Koretz closely as to
the disposition of funds which they
believe he may have secreted here
after leaving Chicago. The prisoner
was reported to have surrendered
bank books, safe deposit bo* keys and
to have given information regarding
bis affairs in New York.
The train bearing Koretz is due to
arrive in Chicago at 0:50 a. in. Mon-
day.
Mr. Spiegel said Sunday night that
Koretz hud signed a legal instrument,
assigning to him all his properties

Spiegel said be believed thnt before

economies since September 1; and
that any deviation from present poli-
cies, both with respect to the govern-
ment's internal and foreign program,
not only would incur a recrudescence
of economic convulsions, but consti-
tute an indefensive break of faith with
respect to Germany's reparations ob-
ligations as dictated by the London
agreement.
The heavy gains in mandates scored
by the nationalists and communists
last May, and the advent in the
reichstag of General Ludendorff's
fascist party with 30 deputies, pri-
marily were the result of the wide-
spread social unrest growing out of
the era of inflation. As these parties
prosper only by fishing in troubled
waters, their prospect of maintaining
their present number of seats in the
reighstag has measurably depreciated
through the advent in Germany of
sound currency and the resultant ben-
efits of a visible betterment in social
and economic conditions.
The process of illuminating voters
and urging them to "leave well enough
alone" also has liberally benefited
through the steady flow of American
loans and credits which, despite occa-
sional caustic references as to rates
of interest charged by the American
bankers, has definitely impressed the
popular mind in Germany with sin-
cerity of the American desire and de-
termination to back up the Dawes
plan in a practical manner.
Dr. Hfalmar Scbacht. head of the
reichsbank, who is on the stump for
the democrats, is proving one of the
most effective spellbinders of the cam-
paign. Dr. Senacht is confining his
speeches to a discussion of Germany's
economic recovery under the Dawes
plan. Prof. Hans Delbrueck, the his-
torian. who nominally is nonpartisan,
is urging the people to vote the demo-
cratic ticket. Generals Deimling and
Von Schoenaich and Count Von Bern-
storff. former ambassador to the
United States, also are engaged in
making speeches for the democrats,
and it is predicted that the party will
enter the new reichstag with a gain
of 15 members.
Chancellor Marx and former Chan-
cellor Wirth are the clerical party's
leading spellbinders. Both have been
meeting with enthusiastic receptions.

speed, and turned a corner. The pur-
suing car leaped forward, turned after
him. closing in.
In a swift, mad race, they reached
the door of the Stewart home. The
young husband swung open the car
door, tersely ordered his wife to dash
for the bouse, and turned himself to
guard her path.
The pursuit car pulled up at the
curb, a man started to leap out.
Stewart drew the automatic, his
wife was frantically fumbling with
the catcb of the door as the figures
of four men loomed in the darkness.
Stewart pressed the trigger of the
automatic, a flash of flame leaped
through the darkness and the eight
shots roared home.
The pursuit car was a police auto-
mobile. The four men were officers
who bad been ordered to search for
the band of supposed kidnapers.
They had become suspicious when
Stewart speeded in his effort to es-
cape them. When Mrs. Stewart was
shoved from the car and dashed to-
ward the house, they were certain
they had their man. One officer was
killed instantly when Stewart fired.
Two were wounded.
As Stewart, stood trembling, the
smoking gun in bis hands, the one
officer who escaped unhurt grappled
with him and placed him under arrest.

What the Auditorium Bonds Will Do

An interior view of the city auditorium as it will look when the city gets through spending
the $300,000 voted Saturday for remodeling of the big convention hall.
The stage will be set at a point nearer the center of the hall than it now is so as to allow
a good view from every one of the 3500 seats under the new plan.
The plan illustrated here was drawn by A. C. Finn, architect.

or knives will play a part, or steps
which would force Russian emigration
to some other country.
Under the curious label "the Rus-
sians who were not traitors," a group
of nationalist Russians, including
many ex-soldiers and members from
different parties, issued a protest re-
garding the recognition of the soviet
government, which, they say. the Rus-
sian people do not consider as the
successor to the preceding govern-
ments.
"We think." they declared, "that
those who signed the treaty of Brest-
Litovsk are an institution imposed on
our country by an international or-
ganisation named the communist In-
ternationale. Any alliance with the
destroyers of Russia, even for an
adjustment of Russia's rights and ob-
ligations has no chance of lasting
results. All countries which signed
such alliance will sooner or later re-
pudiate it, unless they take the side
of the third internationale against the
Russian people."
Other Russians exiled in Paris have
been holding secret gatherings daily
since the recognition and amidst thick
clouds of tobacco smoke drawing up
plans for self-protection. We visited
the main centers of Russian activities
and gathered the impressions of the
most prominent people there.
At the Chateau De Choigny. a few
miles outside of Paris, lives the Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicolaievitch, ex-
generalissimo of the Russian armies,
guarded by faithful officers. The
grand duke is not disturbed at all by
the presence of bolshevik official en-
voys on French soil. He thinks he
established a residence in France
sufficiently long ago not to fear expul-
sion or any trouble. If France had
declared war upon Russia, the situa-
tion would be different. On the con-
trary. normal relations have been re-
sumed; the political questions have
nothing to do with the case of the
refugees.
The duke, instead of worrying about
the bolshevik is "awaiting" the other
members of the imperial family whose
ex-empress. Marie, he does not con-
sider an official fact. The usual pray-
ers for the dead have not yet been
made for the ex-czar and his family,
and will not until it has been proved,
says the grand duke, otherwise than
by documents coming from bolshevik
sources.

SCORES VIEW
FIRE VICTIMS
Calls From Many
Cities Fail to Give
Clue
Scores of persons came from out
of town Sunday to view the bodies
of the two unidentified young men
who perished in a jail fire at Katy,
Texas, Friday night.
The bodies are being held at the
parlors of the Houston I'ndcrtaking
company where hundreds filed through
to look at them during the day Sun-
day.
Two men drove from Port Arthur
Saturday night, driving all night to
get here early Sunday only to find
they did not know either of the fire
trap victims.
A message was received by Sheriff
T. A. Binford Sunday night from
Mobile. Ala., to the effect that J. E.
Cott.rell of that city was on his way
to Houston to attempt to identify
one of the men as that of a missing
Mobile youth.
Leo Weadock of the undertaking
company stated Sunday that he had
received both wires and telephone
calls from 15 or 20 cities over the
country, asking about the bodies.
A woman in Waco sent out an ap-
peal over the Associated Press Sun-
day in which she asked aid in an at-
tempt to find two of her brothers
who are missing. She expressed the
fear they might be the two men who
lost their lives at Katy, but the de-
scriptions failed to correspond.
Police also have received many
calls from outsiders asking informa-
tion on the two fire victims of the
tiny jail.
The bodies are being held pending
possible identification.
Mrs. Williams Dies
Suddenly at Home
Mrs. Lillie Williams, 43, died sud-
denly at. 8:40 Sunday at her home, 818
Smith street. She is survived by her
husband, C. Williams. Funeral ar-
rangements will be announced later by
the AVestheimer Undertaking company.
Kansas City Doctor
Invents New Truss
New Discovery Heals Rup-
ture Without An Operation.
Kansas City, Mo., (Special)—A
new discovery which, experts agree,
has no equal for curative effects in
all rupture cases, is the latest ac-
complishment of the well-known
Hernia Specialist, Dr. Andrews, 680H
Koch Bldg., Kansas City, Mo. The
extraordinary success of this new
method proves that it holds and heals
a rupture. It weighs only a few
ounces. Has no hard gouging pads, no
elastic belt, no leg straps, no steel
bands, and is as comfortable as a light
garment. It has enabled hundreds
of persons to throw away trusses and
declare their rupture absolutely
healed. Many of these had serious
double ruptures, from which they had
suffered for years. It is Dr. An-
drews' ambition to have every rup-
tured person enjoy the quick relief,
comfort and healing power of his dis-
covery, and he will send it on free
trial to any retder of the Houston
Post-Dispatch who writes him. He
wants one person in each neighborhood
to whom he can refer. If you wish to
be rid of rupture for good, without
an operation, take advantage of the
doctor's free offer. Write him today.
