legitimate stage, was brought to
Washington and kept here a week.
Many of the scenes in the play
were placed in the Redemption Divi-
sion of the Treasury Department
In order that there should be no
chance for error il occurred to the
producer that the play might be
actually produced in the Treasury
Department. The film people hesi-
tated about making the request, but
finally nerved themselves to the
task and were given the most COR
dial reception. The Treasury Off
cials gladly placed themselves at the
disposal Of the camera men, throw
ing open the department TO them
and assisting them in many ways.
When the film was completed,
therefore, the producers wanted TO
return the courtesy by allowing the
Government officers 10 see the play
before it was shown anywhere else.
With that idea in view. Manager
Burlock. of the Famous Players.
came to Washington with the films.
and, consulting with the Treasury
officials to be invited to the show,
found that the only time they would
be able to see II was at noon. Then
search was made for a place to
show it. and not a single theater
tance Of the Treasury which would
not be giving its regular show at
that time
The existence OF the private pro-
lection room of the Eclectic Com
pany was made known and through
the courtesy Of Exchange Manager
{. L. Worthington the first show OF
The Little Grey Lady" was given
there and the Famous Players were
able TO make some return for the
courtesies that had been shown them
while the picture was being made.
Chief Flynn OF the Secret Service
ard party OF Treasury Department
officials were installed in the cozy
little room and viewed the play un-
der the most pleasant circumstances
The play Is one OF the most stir
ring dramas that has been written
about Washington and involves the
lives OF several Government clerks

time dramatic editor of The Times.
is its author. As Mr.. Pollock knows
Washington and Washington life
intimately-he lived here many years
the play he has written is dis
tinctly Washingtonian and the char
acters he has drawn are easily
recognizable. The scenes are laid
in the Treasury Department. in
* street boarding house, the Union
station. at the Raleigh Hotel and
on easily recognized streets and
parks. Every scene Is practically a
picture distinctly Washingtonian.
The picture play is much better than
the stage play from which the
scenario has been made. because the
actual scenes in Washington are
shown and they could be only
Counterfeited on the stage. The
scenes in the Treasury Department
were made particularly realistic bv
the rooms full OF clerks that We're
shown. The street scenes and the
sc mes with the parks for a back
ground were especially attractive
and familiar. The company selected
to act the play were especially
chosen and gave an excellent per-
fOrmanCe

needs Of the Juvenile Court. s. E.
Kramer told OF the helpful assist
ance given by the parent-teacher
associations and suggested lines for
further work, and Mrs. Elizabeth
Timlow discussed the education Of
young women.
Until last year Mrs. A. A. Birney,
secretary of the National Congress
Of Mothers, was president of the
District branch. Under her leader
ship the District branch has grown
to It's present proportions Of .leo
regular active members in addition
to the more than 400 members affili-
ated with the congress through their
connection with the parent-teacher
associations. .
Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter il the new
ly elected president. Mrs. Walter D.
Wood is recording secretary; Mrs.
Louise EARL. corresponding secre-
tary; Mrs. Julia A. Hastings. treas
delegate to the federation.
The District branch has investi-
gated all topics related to child well
fare as they arose. Mrs. Rafter and
Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis were on n
committee two years ago which
made thorough inquiry into the
moving picture exhibitions staged
here, Their report recommended a
strict censorship, and contained ex-
amples of the demoraliz!ng pictures
being shown at some moving picture
theaters. It Is believed this report
did much toward arousing public
sentiment for better classes of films.
The influence Of the mothers also

branch's representative,

a chain of such Fairgrounds. Dur
ing the past season, they gave their
hearty support Of the campaign for
a wider use of school buildings. At
an early meeting Of the 1894 season
DR.. w. NJ. Davidson and other PROM
inent speakers outlined a plan for
such an increased utilization OF
school plants. The District branch
vigorously urged the passage OF the
bill looking to that end.
Another flourishing outgrowth OF
the congress in Washington is the
Big Brother and Big Sister movement.
Mrs. Fred Dubois started this ef-
fort as a part of the Mothers Con-
gress work, but later II reached pro-
portions that justified an independ-
ent organization. The congress was
represented on the citizens COM
mittee that helped in the solution OF
the problem of caring for the ousted
inmates of the segregated district,
when the Kenyon bill became law.
Meetings Are Interesting.
Monthly meetings Of the District
branch, held at the Raleigh for the
Past few years. have been the occa-
sions Of helpful programs. as well
as for the transaction of much busi-
ness. During the past winter, Judge

A thorough investigation of

paign for the wider use of schools

of the Increment to repise the Dis
tricfs Juvenile delinquency laws
these and other child welfare topics
have received attention from the
District of Columbia branch OF the
Congress of Mothers.
But perhaps the most far-reach-
ing accomplishments OF the District
branch we're the inception Of the
movement for a Washington Jupe-

the long chain of parent-teachers
associations now in active opera"
tion.
The history of this organization

By J. R. HILDEBRAND.
The District of Columbia branch d.

has much direct work for child well
fare to its credit. But it considers
no other achievement Of greater i'm
portance than its efforts toward the
founding OF the numerous parent
teacher associations. which nre such
potent factors In Washington's

belongs the credit for the establish
