TTTE MOItNIXG OltEGONIAN, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 22, 1921 4 LOiOfil PAPER ASKS U. S. AID IN FINANCE America Alone Declared Able to Avert Catastrophe. GERMAN CRASH. FEARED Teuton Inability to Pay Indemnity Said to Be Liable to Cause Xew French Invasion. LONDON, Nov. 20 Unless the United States shoulders the burden of world finance, only a miracle can avert the financial catastrophe ever drawing: nearer, the Sunday Times de flared today. It regards the limitation of arma merits as an accomplished acti for which it gives credit to the United States, and said it is hoped that the Americans will display equal cour Rgre and foresight in coping with the menace of world finance. "America alone can stabilize credit by devising some scheme for financ ing the nations hovering on the brink 01 insolvency," it saia. "No one Imagines Germany Is able to pay 500.000.000 gold marks January IS. In the event of her failure to do so, the difficulties to French finance may prove Insuperable, and if France forces Germany Into bank ruptcy, the crash may well bring down the whole edifice of European credits. "In such an event the United States will suffer incalculable losses. The only way out is for America to ob serve the precedent set by the bank of England when it saved American credit In a minor crisis by drawing trold from the world to lend where It was most needed. "America holds the "world's gold today. The time is short, for. should Germany fail to pay, France may march into the Ruhr region, and then who can say that disarmament pro posals may not vanish in the smoke of war?" TEUTONS AFTER ALIEN' CREDIT Germany Announces Readiness to Borrow Reparation Cash. BERLIN, Nov. 20. (By the Asso ciated Press.) A communlcat ion handed the reparation commission by Chancellor Wirth. telling of the Ger man government's willingness to seek foreign credits required to meet the January reparations payment has teen received by the public as con firming the belief that the govern ment possesses no illusions as re gards its ability to obtain a period of grace. The commission left yes terday for Paris. The belief has prevailed in Berlin official circles since the arrival ten days ago of the reparations commis sion that It was the primary object of the commission to obtain at first hand an idea on which to base its attitude for an adjustment of Germany's reparations payments. Deliberations of the commission were Informal, although officials tt the foreign office were reported to have made strong efforts to Impress the members wth the effects of forced entry by Germany into the foreign money markets. It was as serted that the commissioners have declined to suggest other measures of relief. The relchabank's statement for. the week of November 15, announced ad dition of 2,500,000.000 marks in new paper to the national currency, bring ing the total to more than 102,000,000, 000 marks. Nationalist newspapers are up braiding the chancellor for "the mis erable collapse of .his policy and its fulfillment at the expense of the tax payers," as the Tages Zeltung put tt. Baker. BY LEOXE CASS BAER. UT ADDIES," at the Baker this J week holds all the ingredients of good entertainment and it has been particularly well put on. The story is a pretty one, slender though the plot may be. and) it gives out -a gentle appeal and wholesome ness that Is Irresistible. The admixture of humor and pathos are nicely calculated and the charac ' terlzations are varied sufficiently to allow uncommon acting opportunities. "Daddies" as a play borders faintly ' on the trail of the late war, not in Its tragic emotional aspects, but in the spirit of sacrifice which it en gendered. There is no intrusion of the conflict into the story, rather it hovers in the remote background and furnishes the cause for the re sult. The story is laid In the Tarrytown home of an author, who is one of five bachelors, the only remaining mem bers of a club sworn never to marry. The five are on the verge of their annual reunion when the story be gins, and the scene is enlivened by toasts and college yells, and much raillery and Jest at the expense of other members who have left the ranks to wed. ' The mother of the author is a philo sophical soul who wants her son to marry and rear a family and has se cretly resolved to bring her dream to its realization. Her plans begin to assume proportions when one of the five bachelors Is asked to adopt an English chrld, the daughter of an oid pal who has been killed in the war. The strangeness of the request and a loyalty to the dead father causes the bachelor, himself a marriage-defying man, to accept the responsibility of the orphan. Whereupon, urged by the author's clever mother, the remain ' Ing four bachelors decide that it would be a fine plan for each to take under his wing a little refugee of war. Presently the little orphAns begin RESINOL 5oof hirvq aivd HeaJinq To stop dandruff and loss of hair and promote a healthy scalp.begjn ihe Resinol treatment- today Trial free Resinol p-Baltimore.MA to arrive and the story never ceases in its Interest. The English waif hap pens to be a very pretty girl of 17, a bit of strategic pre-arrangement on the part of the mother. What follows chiefly In the play is the development of the charming romance between the author and the orphan, his adopted child, a romance which shatters all the sophomortc vows of his bachelor hood. Interesting and human sidelights to the romance are afforded in the awak ening of latent paternal pride in a crusty, woman-hating old bachelor from Pittsburg who finds a little girl orphan assigned to him when he had expected a boy. Another humorous angle is the aroused paternal interest manifested by a breesy, woman-hating bachelor from Detroit who draws a set of or phaned triplets and then marries to provide a mother to take care of them. The shading of the situations and the speeches' are subtle and the en tire piece Is managed skillfully, with an intelligent commingling of senti ment and comedy. The interpretations of every player in the cast lend delightful human nes and charm. Mayo Methot plays winsomely and with a wistful tenderness the part of the Eos-Han girl orphan, while Selmer Jackson is the romantic author. Leo Lindhard is capital as the crusty Pittsburger, and his scenes with his war orphan, played by little Clarice . Smith, are memorable for their naturalness. . Clarice Smith has those two other famous tear-shed-ders, Jane Cowl and Margaret Anglin, backed completely off the boards. Clarice, as the spoiled child, sets up a howl, opens , her mouth spas modically and chokes and bellows alternately, doing U so perfectly that mothers and fathers In the audience looked on in. amaze. to learn that any art so real could be Imitated so realistically.' Clarice was roundly applauded throughout the play for the sincerity of her playing, her unconscious ef forts and her amusing delivery. Clar ice is the best girl child actress out of a long line we have had since Mayo Methot was playing little girls. Lora Rogers qualifies piqtorially and actorlally as the philosophical mother of the author, Marjorie Foster is a pretty maid who tempts one of the bachelors (Rankin Mansfield) to quit the club and Jane Gilroy is a vivacious French widow. Billy Lee and Irving Kennedy played the other bachelors with charm and skill, George Webster buttles and Virginia Richmond is a maid. A group of little orphans are nicely played by Ruth Patterson, Doris Mc Cartney, Agnes Peters and Betty Jane Buchner. Robert Audrey Selmer Jackson Jamei Crocket Leo Lindhard Henry Allen William L.
