Washington Girl Plays
In Anna Held Company

Washington has been the birthplace Of
many talented actors and actresses. and
each successive thespian has received his
or her praise in unmeasured accord by
Washingtonians, who have always been
quick to recognize their talent and genius.
The latest to elicit genuine praise and
commendation in the theatrical profess
sion is Miss Volga Hayworth, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Hayworth, this
city Miss Hayworth has risen steadily
from the ranks in theatrical work, and
today she occupies an enviable position
in Anna Held's dazzling musical comedy
company, playing Follow Ne" at the
Casino Theater in New York.
Miss Hayworth's multitude of friends
have hoped that the Anna Held company
may play an engagement in this city,
where they will not only be afforded the
pleasure Of seeing her again but an op-
portunity to see the gorgeous gowns and
costumes worn by the actresses, which
are described as the most expensive and
elaborate ever seen on the stage.

existing standards established in the
world Of burlesque. 1t is perhaps more
accurately to be classed as extravaganza,
as 1t is first of all a fairy spectacle,
bringing into being the famous char
acters OF childhood days, such as Red
Riding Hood, the voracious wolf, the
wooden soldier, and a veritable host Of
brownies. sprites. elves. and gnomes.
George Stone and Eta Pillard, fore
most exponents OF eccentric comedy, head
cast that is said to be remarkable
from every standpoint. There is said
to be an almost continuous swing Of
merriment, gayety. and frtvolity. En-
chanting songs and fascinating dancing
numbers enliven the fast urolling spec
tacle with its almost bewildering, ka-
leidoscopic scene changes and gorgeous
costume investiture.
Most spectacular among the dancing
numbers is "Ragging over the End OF
the World,' introducing an effect as
daring as it Is original. In keeping with
the nature of the production. an unusual
ly tuneful musical score of specially writ
ten numbers has been provided. A note
worthy feature is the exceptionally large
chorus of attractive and talented girls.
which bears no small portion of the
burden of the entertainment and which
Is in no small measure responsible for
its success.

Inc stars incline, but do not compel"
Sunday, December 10, 1915.
According to astrology this is an un-
certain day. While Jupiter. Mercury and
Saturn are all in benefic aspect Venus
and Uranus are adverse.
In the churches there should be a
widespread religious awakening. but
changes in creeds may disturb the unity
Of Protestant congregations.
For the Catholic Church activity in
war relief work will bring about good
results in Italy, where the Pope comes
under a kindly sway of the stars the
first part of the year.
There is a planetary rule today that
should make congregations responsive to
appeals for charity.
Honors for an aged clergyman or pre-
late of high estate are foreshadowed
The new year will bring all matters re-
lating to churches much to the front.
Owing to the evil place of Venus this
is counted most unlucky day for love
affairs. Engagements made today will
bring heartache, it is prophesied.
Association with friends and relatives
today may not be fortunate as Uranus
in malefic rule encourages misunder-
standings and quarrels.
Turkey continues under a most un-
favorable rule of the stars, but astro-
logers predict that the country will come
out of the war more fortunately than
some of its allies.
A London astrologer foresees a trying
year for the King of Spain. who may be
in constant danger of assassination. An
insurrestion may take place. but it will
come to naught.
There is an encouraging sign for all
who use Christmas this year as an op-
portunity to do good without thought of
recompense.
Agitation concerning the needs OF the
poor at home may arouse antagonisms
and criticism next month when suffer
ing among the unfortunate in cities will
be intense.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
be cautious about letters and writings
which may bring them trouble. Travei
and removals will not be fortunate.
Children born on this day are likely
to be lucky in business. but they should
be trained to exact methods of thought
and action as they may have strong
tendency toward deceit.
