ALFRED G.. ARNOLD TO
LECTURE FOR DRAMA LEAGUE

The members of the Washington
Center of the Drama League will have
an opportunity this week of meeting
the originator of one of the most sue
cessful of the little theater movements
In this country, and of hearing first
hand from him of his venture in this
field. IL is said that no recent theatri-
cal experiment has received more wide
spread praise or aroused more serious
interest than has been bestowed on
the Little Country Theater, located in
one of the buildings of the North Da-
kota Agricultural College at Fargo,
North Dakota.
Mr.. Alfred G. Arvold, the founder,
has received inquiries from all parts
of the Union, and several residents or
Porto Rico and the Philippines have
already undertaken the work of de-
veloping a Little Country Theater in
their respective communities.
Mr.. Arvolds address at the last an
nual convention of the Drama League
of America aroused such enthusiasm
that 1t has been arranged for him to
make a tour of the various Drama
League Centers of the country. He
will be in Washington on Saturday.
February 10. and will address the
Drama League on saturday evening
at o'clock at the Friends School.

A month elapses in the next ten min

a conference OF Teutonie rascals. The
latter are witnessed In a sort of Ku

sort to determine which of their number

Is a whispered-and supposedly very
tense-scene between the avenger and
Miss Ferguson. Then the latter (who,
forgot to mention, has ere this seen the
lovelight in the prime ones eyes. or vice

A moment later the door by which Miss
Ferguson has left the room opens. the
young gunner shoots and Mics Ferguson
falls to the floor, sacrificing herself to
save the British empire, the producers
adhering to the original ending of the
piece as It was when Margaret Schiller
was given its premiere in Washington
several weeks ago. There was serious
question at that time of sacrificing the
logical denouement; Of defeating the
authors purpose in writing the drama:
by the substitution OF a happy ending,
but the idea was abandoned before the
play was offered before a New York
audience.
In addition to Miss Ferguson, the pre-
senting company contains the Messrs.

The new version Of the Midnight

of its predecessor. OF its sepcies, this
''Frolic" Is probably richer and more
colorful than anything else in the mid

are the work OF Messrs. Buck and

CORY Of so-called surprise plays-a La
Seven Keys to Baldpate," Under
final curtain the fact is suddenly dis
closed that the playwright has been mis-
leading and tricking his auditors. In
such play as Seven Keys to Baldpate, :"
the nature of the surprise will be recalled
to have been the revelation that the
whole paly was merely a magazine story
upon which. during the space Of the
plays action. the hero had been working.
The surprise of such a piece as Under
Cover will be remembered as the dis
closure Of the hitherto concealed secret
service identity Of the male protsgonist.
Although the period Of Margaret
Schiller is vouchsafed in the playbill as
the future" the evening is nothing II
not a to-do with the current current
overseas unpleasantness- The prelude,
which is of the play itself an unneces-
ssry part, occurs IN a scene described
as ''the official residence of the prime
minister Of England and concerns mere
ly the neglect Of Germany to reply to a
British ultimatum and the consequent
declaration upon the Teutonic empire OF
war Begins then the dirty work. The
first act passes in the household Of a
German in Soho square, a household
brought face to face with starvation
through the removal Of its male heads
from employment by virtue of the Brit
ish hostility to enemy aliens. OF this
household is Elsie Ferguson. Before the
ears Of Miss Ferguson there Is discharged
a deal of Caine dialogue coming to a
climax in the decision that the prime
minister Is the man who has been the
actual guilty party and in the topping
climax Of Miss Ferguson's decision to in
sinuate herself into the gents menage
as governess and. once there. to apply
herself to the undoing Of the fellow.
The while this momentous decision Is
being negotiated, the British are heard
marching off to the trenches in the
thoroughfare beneath the windows and
the curtain descends as the eircumspect
Miss Ferguson, throwing back her head
defiantly, browns the British bands by
banging out the kaiser-song upon the
piano. The moment recalled that other
and not dissimilar coup in the late Justus
Miles FOrman's war play, The Hypen,
wherein three German spies. bent upon
a perilous mission. stopped In the middle
Of their subtle strategies to put their
heads together and render a barber shop
on Die Wacht am Rhein."
But let US proceed. Inc curtain goes
up again and Miss Ferguson is discovered
under a pseudOnym in the prime min

become aroused. Who is this crature ?
Then-our old comrade. the cross-ques-
