d SOVIET TRADE HEAD ( f TbeThea

IN LONDON SUES FOR ! CO-OPERATIVE FUNDS

"j ! DAUGHTER OF U. S. I CONSUL RETURNS a TO VISIT HOME

(By Associated Press) ' LONDON, April lo. Possession of the assets and capital of the Great; Russian Co-operative societies, which

before revolution in that country served as the trading link between millions of Russian peasants and merchants, will be the subject of litigation expected to be begun soon in this

city by Leonid Krassin, head of the Bolshevik trade delegation here. While the amount involved in England approximates 1,000,000 pounds, questions Of law expected to arise during the progress of the snit probably will constitute the most Important feature f the case. M. Krassin indicated his Intention to bring suit in the course of a letter to the headquarters of the co-operatives in this city a few days ago. "Tn view of the conclusion of the trade agreement between England and Russia and the prospect that legal relations will gradually take their normal course," his letter declared, "I expect you will be forced before long by legal decision to hand over both the public and co-operative capital held by you. Desiring not to leave a stone unturned in the effort to arrive at an amicable solution of the situation, I propose that you hand over this capital voluntarily." Reply Follows Meeting Executives of the. cooperative societies held a joint conference and drafted a reply, citing the recent statement of soviet policy toward the co-operatives by Nikolai Lenine, Russian Bolshevik premier. They declared that in accordance with Lenine's declaration in the tenth congress of the Russian communist party had parsed resolutions that peasants should not be restricted in disposing of their produce and annulled a previous resolution making the co-operative societies government bodies. It was declared that these considerations has caused the cooperative societies to decide to contest the expected effort of the soviet government to secure control of their capital and trading machinery aboard. Should the Bolsheviki government succeed in its attempt to get control of ttoe co-operative capital in England.

there are indications that a similar

move will be inaugurated in America, the co-operative societies having offices in New York City. It is probable

another suit will be brought in France

for possession of the assets of branch

es of the societies in Paris. The proceedings will be the soviet government's first sally in the British courts and the outcome will be watched with keen interest.

WASHINGTON Charles Ray and company of movie players that made "A Village Sleuth," which is on view at the Washington Theatre and have a new respect for the progressiveness of the farmers in a certain district of Southern California-Some of the scenes in "A Village Sleuth" take place in an apple orchard. To secure just the proper atmosphere, Mr. Ray and his fellow players journeyed to a section that is noted for the excellence of its apples. Several farmers looked on interestedly while the scenes were being filmed. Hardly had Mr. Ray returned to the Thomas H. Ince studio when he received a letter from the farmer In whose orchard the scenes were made asking for copies of the pictures taken there. He explained that he wished to use them for publicity purposes and that they would be a great aid in selling his apples. MURRETTE "The Road of Ambition," the new Selznick picture starring Conway Tearle, whioh is now playing at the Murrette theatre, is intended to light the flame of hope in the breasts of the ambitious. It is a picture of the rise of a laborer to great heights in the world of finance and high society. Director William P. S. Earls deserves great credit for the fine way in which lie has handled the story. Bill Matthews, played by Conway Tearle, is an ambitious laborer in the steel mills of Bethlehem. His greatest ambiton is to perfect a process by which waste steel might be utilized. Through perseverance and hard work

he finally realizes his ambitions, and i becomes a great factor in the steel j world. I

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE Rivaling the best musical comedies seen in Richmond this season, "Under the Apple Tree." a company of 12, 10 of whom are beautiful young women, is playing at the Murray theatre for the last half of this week. The only perceptible difference between it and any first class musical comedy on the road is the time it takes to complete its entertainment. At that it runs for 35 minutes, an unusually long period for a vaudeville act. Expensive costumes and settings provide a delightful atmosphere for the miniature musical comedy. A slight plot throughout the offering gives

Because of the length and cost of the headline act the bill has but three acts instead of the usual four. The three acts, however, constitute as long a bill as the average.

Announcement by the Management of the

errette

With more than ordinary pleasure we announce the presentation of "MAN-WOMAN-MARRIAGE", the biggest motion picture of the year, at this theatre, Sunday. A special First National attraction directed by Allen Holubar and starring Dorothy Phillips, this production has been aptly termed a mighty milestone in motion pictures. There could be no better name for a picture that is at once a wonderful romance and drama of mother-right, told from a woman's heart, and combined with vast spectacular moments wherein thousands of actors, pagan dancers and barbaric beauties participate. Untrammelled orgies in the courts of Caesar are contrasted with society life of today; the fights of the Amazons of old, who went plunging bare-legged, bare-armed, bare-chested into battle with the men, are contrasted with the fight of our women against the shackles of man-made marriage and man-made divorce. The story is told in nine unforgettable acts, and there is not a moment of them which does not carry heart-appeal, breath-taking thrill, tensest drama, delightful humor or inspiring vastness.
