NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—Cozy Dolan, the man who may yet get around to the matter of remembering what he forgot, if anything is coming back to Broadway within 48 hours to answer for his part if any, in baseball's latest scandal.

"Jazz Baby Dot" Ellingson, who killed her mother in a "red headed" rage, is to have a "scientific" defense without hysteria." Offers of aid from Patrick McCarren, former chief justice of Nevada, and scores of others, were turned down by Dorothy's father and brother, Earl, who said Mooslin, assisted by McGovern and McAtee had been retained in the court fight to stave off a long prison term for the mother slayer. Dorothy received two proposals of marriage today. One came from Chicago and the other from a young man in Burnettsville, Ind. He write: "Dear Dorothy— If you were liberated tomorrow, I would marry you. I have read all about your case and ready to put a ring on your finger any time. I love you." A Los Angeles woman, mother of 18, wrote the red headed "daughter of jazz" friendly advice and Dorothy also received letters from marines in Chelsea Memorial hospital Chelsea, Mass., from Hannibal, Mo., Marion, Ohio, Glendale, Calif., New Haven; Washington and all large eastern cities. A woman signing herself "old fashioned girl" wrote the "dance mad" slayer she would exchange places with the child and serve her term either in the state prison or in a girl's reformatory. "No one ever loved me, so it would not make any difference," the "old fashioned" girl wrote. "You could continue to dance and be gay and I would continue to be lonely and without sweet-hearts." GERMANY TO REPLY BERLIN, Jan. 27.—Conditions are being "gravely disturbed" by the action of the allies in "raising charges without detailing or proving them," Germany will reply to the allies' latest note on the subject of the Cologne occupation, it was said today in diplomatic circles. Germany's answer will go forward late today, it was stated. The German note will argue, it was said, that the failure to evacuate Cologne would be "excusable only if France was threatened with an unprovoked attack, and there is not the slightest cause to suspect this." The Tageblatt assailed what it termed "the arrogant tenor" of the note. It said the "spirit of conciliation seems to have vanished." Deutsche Zeitung referred to the "unspeakable impudence" of the note and criticised the reference in the note to "Mr. Stresemann." The allies should have been more respectful in framing the note. Deutsche Zeitung said, and should have referred to the German minister of foreign affairs. E. K. Lincoln, always popular in rugged, romantic roles, has added to his list of screen successes in his latest feature, "The Right of the Strongest," which will be seen at the United theatre tonight and tomorrow. The scene of the story is laid in the Alabama mountains, where a young engineer, the part played by Mr. Lincoln, representing a big corporation, is brought into conflict with a group of squatters, whose land is needed for the development of the waterpower for the company's plant. Helen Ferguson plays the part of the winsome school teacher, around whom the romance and the action of the story pivots, while George Seligman and Tom Strehtei are leaders of the hill folks. A terrific fight in a desolate mountain cabin, between the engineer and the leader of the squatters thrills galore and makes the audience fairly grip their seats in excitement and suspense. This is only one of the many thrills that prevail throughout the picture. Other actors of note who are in the cast are: Tully Marshain, Niles Welch, Robert Milasch, Little Coy Watson and June Elvidge. As an added feature on the program for tonight and tomorrow, Manager Anderson takes great pleasure in announcing Willard Mack's clever comedy playlet, "The Big Idea," in one act.

The judge has notified the district attorney office that he can and will produce all others identified with the case excepting Dolan and O'Connell, the two men dropped from the lists as a result of the original inquiry.

ONLY THREE DAYS MORE "Peter Pan" will stir your memory and bring back your youth—! Betty Bronson Ernest Torrance and many others in— J.M.BARRIE'S PETER PAN Atmospheric Prologue STAGED BY MISS CLAIRE COUTANT ON FIRST EVENING PERFORMANCE ONLY Atmospheric Prologue STAGED BY MISS CLAIRE COUTANT ON FIRST EVENING PERFORMANCE ONLY TURNER - Concert Organist Playing the Popular Ballad "PETER PAN" Inkwell Cartoon International News PETER PAN MAKES BIG HIT AT CAL. "Peter Pan," which has stood for 21 years as one of the most charming classics of the stage, in picture form proves one of the most delightful fantasies ever screened. The production, produced by Paramount from the novel and play by James M. Barrie, opened yesterday at the California Theatre and will remain until Thursday night. Betty Bronson, Ernest Torrence, Cyril Chadwick, Virginia Brown Faire and Anna May Wong are featured in the cast. The story, adapted for the screen by Willis Goldbeck, is a delightful, modern fairy tale. "Peter Pan" is a bright, mischievous boy, head of the cult for having a good time. The picture opens in the Darling home. The children's mother, entering the nursery at bedtime, is startled by the glimpse of a little boy walking lightly on the window sill. She is greatly alarmed for the safety of her children. Mr. and Mrs. Darling go off to dine with a neighbor opposite, leaving the children asleep in bed. At the window the little boy appears again. He opens it and jumps lightly in—"Peter Pan" from the Never Never Land. He tells Wendy and her two brothers, John and Michael, of Indians, pilates, the Little Lost Boys of his underground home, fairies—everything they have known in their dreams, in fact. He offers to carry them off. They consent. Peter teaches them to fly and when the parents return the nursery is empty. On a fleecy white cloud, lazily drifting, *Wendy*, John, Michael and Peter Pan arrive in Never Never Land.
