Misses Gladys Moss, Harriet Stearn,
Lillian Jeffrey, Florence Levy, 1nez Rees
and Helene Rubel has arranged for
cotillion to be given in the new Temple
House. Mr.. Howard Kayser will act as
host for the evening.
The spirit Of activity which has permeated
all branches of communal life in this city,
philanthropic, social and intellectual, has
until recently left untouched one Of the
most virile and cultural arts, the drama.
That individual talent is abundant in our
community has repeatedly been evidenced
by the successful presentation in recent
years Of all varieties Of stage entertain
ment from the serious, as evidenced by
the production of "The Children Of the
Ghetto,' to the lighter vaudeville enter
tainments which have been so successful in
enriching the treasures Of our congrega-
tons and Talmud Torah. But the syste-
matte study of the drama by groups has
been lacking. The "Pretenders has re-
Gently been organized to fill this need
for drama club which has for it's aims
the study and production Of plays. The
membership list which numbers fourteen is

Burton, vice-president; Esther Woolpy,
secretary; Arthur Rosenberg, treasurer;
Chas. Goldstein, Louis Epstein, Harry Hal
perrin, Meyer Isaacs, Louis Rosenthal,
Raleigh Kaplan, Cecilia Ideal, David Lon,
don, Lillian Green, and Tobiah Rappoport.
1t is the aim of the club to place it's
services at disposal Of worthy institutions,
and at it's next meeting at the home of
Miss Raleigh Kaplan, Tuesday, Dec. 20,
arrangement will be made for the pro-
duction Of one act play which will form
part of the projected Y. M. A. entertain

Leap Year Dance, January 18th, 1916 at
the Royal Arcanum Hail.
At recent meeting of the Board Of d.
rectors Of the South Side Talmud Torah,
1914 18th Ave. S., in accordance with the
suggestion of Mr.. Chas. Justor, president
of the institution, it was decided to allow
the two auxiliary organizations representa-
ton on the board, three members to the
Ladies Auxiliary, and two to Bnoth Zion
Society. The latter acted upon this rul-
ing and elected the Misses Sarah Silver
man and Nettie Silver to represent their
society. And thus the modern suffrage
movement has achieved another victory
against the forces Of conservatism.

case Of a female black cat. Belasco
dgured he must be different from the
ordinary manager II he wanted to.make
name for himself. So he decided to
be real! That 10 the reason he IL such
person to talk to. and q regular human
being In all his actions. He decided
tnat the thing to be done in stage
productions to make them great was to
give them one touch Of realism. With
MADE to believe the whole thing is real.
Looking about for something to be
real with he espied the black cat. OF
course. the cat knew what was up and
placed herself where David could see
her. And SO the first bit Of realism that
oeiasco introduced to the stage Was
Press Agent Story Barred.
But that is Just an ordinary press
agent story that has been written every
time Belasco comes into town. The
press agent tried to put it over this
time. and refuse absolutely to print It.
The fact is that Mr.. Belasco has come
back to Washington to produce plays
because he Is a man Of sensitive feel
Ing. and as he has been so unlucky with
plays produced elsewhere, and 80 sue
cessful here, he thinks Washington
is the proper place to produce them.
His first great productions were made
here. and he believes he can obtain a
better idea Of how the public likes his
plays here than elsewhere because in
the small compass Of each theater audi
ence he finds a wider variety Of people
than In any other city in the cotln-
try. He states that Washington opinion
Is better average opinion than can
be obtained elsewhere, and II Ia the
average Of public opinion-when IL
averages high-that makes a. play a
success. - -
Besides that. the Belasco Theater
owns black cat OF its own. All these
things Mr.. Belasco recited. and ey-
cused himself to go to the theater with
Frances Starr and pat the black cat
on the head once more In the hope that
1t will somehow affect the reception to
be given his production OF Edward
Knoblauch's play, "Marie-Odile," to.

The reason David Bslasco chose
Washington a. q producing center for
plays years ago lay not In the fact that
the people Of this city have superior in
tellisence-but because this was the
only city in the Eastern section Of the
country that owned . theater with a
black cat as one Of its properties! And
the reason Belasco deserted this city
some four or five years ago. and began
giving his premieres elsewhere, helter-
skelter over the theatrical Landscape.
was because the black cat left the thea
ter here and another theater In another
mart Of the East became possessed OF a
cat which could be used by Belasco.
