Ls. Tribune. said: “The question of the straits is a matter of general interest ‘in the Mediterranean and it cannot concern only two SOV- emments.

UITAVVA, April ‘13-Unemp!ay- meat relief and means of getting the idle back to work will be para- mount considerations of the gov- ernment during the next few weeks. involving plans for the expenditure of some $75,000,000 by the Domin- ion alone.

Establishment of the national employment wrnuussion, plans for highways, public works and other forms of activity, farm labor as- sistance and :gi-icultural rehabilit- ation and direct relief all enter in- to the picture.

Belief Carried On

Meanwhile immediate necessities in the way of direct relief are be- ing carried on but without statut- ory authority. The relief bill was not among measures given royal assent before Parliament rose for the Easter recess, and since last March 31 when the old act ex- pired. the government has had no power to spend‘ money for relief

purposes.

This is not a. new circumstance. however. and will not interfere with the working ‘of relief machinery. since the depression set in the re- lief not has been renewed from year to year. Frequently there has been a hiatus of weeks, if not months, between expiration of the old statute and final enactment of the new,

Cabinet Will Mac!

It is expected cabinet councils to be held later this week will be de- voted mainly to deciding on per- sonnel of the national employment commission so that body may be ready to give the government the benefit of its advice in renewing relief agreements with the prov- inces.

Considerable work has already been mplished in this direction but no intimation has come from official circles as to those who will serve on the commission and its advisory committee. Rumor has been in persistent circulation that Arthur B. Purvis of Montreal will be chairman. v

3-ACT COMEDY

(Continued from Page i) between acts. Ml‘. Blanchard was the accompanist for the special numbers.

The play told the story of sue Alexander, “The Pretender," whose mother a blue-blooded Drexel of Boston, was estranged from her brother, Buchannan Drrexel, be- cause sh. had dared marry a middle class man whom she loved. Sue grew to young womanhood without knowing her relatives. Ever ambitious and reaching beyond her middle class environment, she de- cided to visit her uncle Drexel. passing herself off as the winner of a beauty contest in her native state. Sue and her cousin, Eloise Dexter, clashed and the plot thick- ens. Lord Marshall Kendall, a young Englishman, and Andrew Carmichael, a young American, are introduced and a delightful series of comedy scenes, some fraught with drama, are introduced.

The cast of characters was as fol-

J Another clash occurred in the

lows:

Buclumnsn Drexel, a typical suc- cessful financier, well dressed and with a. genial personality. was clev- crly played by Mr. Wilfred Mc- Isaac.

Stephen Drexel, his son. a gay young man with an engaging smile, was capably played by Mr, Arthur Mcauigan.

Miss Isabel Storey took the role of Eloise Drexel, pretty, listless and rather bored. Miss Storey took the rather difficult part very success- fully. _

The role of Cavanaugh, a butler, polished and suave, was played by Mr. Philip McQuald, who took the character part very successfully.

Miss Ruth Rattenbury as Sue Alexander, "The Pretender," scored mother outstanding siycess in her career as amateur ai;tress. Miss Rattenbury as leading lady gave a splendid interpretation of "Sue," .the whole hearted, unaffected girl with a real sense of humor.

Lord Marshall Kendall. a. dapper young Englishman with a decided British accent, was played-by Mr. Peter Crichton who was a decided success in the role, as was also Mr. Pius Callaghan in the role of An- drew Carmichael, a well groomed young American, but not as fas- tidious as Marshall.

The role of Gladys Joy, a young follies girl, was very capably taken by Miss Esther Rattenbury, who was a. decided in this, her first appearance on the stage.

The play was directed by Mr. J. Austin Trainer, who has success- fully staged more than 500 plays.

Her sister-in-law, Mllss Millicent Bartholomew, was made legal

guardian of the 12-year-old movie actor nearly six months ago.

Attorney Leonard J. Meyberg, who said he would represent Mrs. Bartholomew in the struggle, an- nounced she would file a petition in superior court, contesting the guardianship. It will be on record before April 2;, the legal "dead- line" set up when Freddie became a ward of his aunt, Meyberg said. Regarding the confusion sur- rounding her departure from New York. Meyberg said she explained to him:

“I retained Phillip A. Levey of New York to represent me before I left England. I didn't want any duplication in this fight. I felt the place for me to wage my fight was right here in California.

The aLl.Ol'n:-y said Freddie's mother declared it was untrue Mi " Bartholomew had been ca.r- ing for him since he was three years old, that the sister‘-in-law had told them ircgotiatioiis to put him in the movies “had fallen through," and that neither of Freddie's parents was informed he had signed a 40-week contract wim a. $1.000-a-week salary.

Meyberg said she told him she and her husband had supported and cared for Freddie until only a short time before he left Eng- land.
