"Heigh-Ho," which comes to the
Garrick tomorrow night, will repre-
sent the interests of 100 Washing ton
women who have organized a pro-
ducing company for the purpose of
presenting plays. This is the" first
offering of the new management.
The Washington Theater Produc-
tions, Inc, was Incorporated about
four months ago by Katharine S.
Brown. Glenna Smith Tinnin, and
Mary Holland Kinkaid with the idea
of establishing a center for all the
arts of the theater and of erecting
a great building that should house
a repertory theater, a children's the
ater and a music hall.
"Heigh-Ho" was selected as the
first venture of the company after
a founders association of leading
business and professional'wom had
( been organized. Each member of
the founders association is a stock
holder. The book of the musical
play was read and the score was
played at a founders meeting.
When "Heigh- -Ho" was duly ap-
proved, Miss Brown went to New
York where she supervised ITS pro-
duction. Eugene Lockhart, author of
the book and lyrics and composer of
a great part of the music, working
with her. Deems Taylor, who con-
tributed the dance. music and sew
eral numbers, made the orchestra
! tions and then volunteered to act
as musical director the first few
weeks of the preliminary tour of
'Heigh-ho."
Miss Brown selected as director
of production Ira Hards, one of the
best New York producers, and they
soon had in rehearsal distin-
guished cast, with Thomas Conkey
at its head. Mr.. Conkey has APP
peared in many operas and was for
time a member Of the Chicago
f! Grand Opera Company. Henry Rad
ford Allen. the English comedian,
essayed the part Of Grumpo, a role
quite different from his famous
Cockney parts. and Louis Cassavant
was chosen as the Jester. While
there are many girls in .HeIgh-Ho-
there is only one important part, but
| on this one much depends. To Miss
Fern Doubleday fell the responsf-

Capital Women Present
First of Series of Plays

bility Of carrying the role of Char
anne. Then Mary. Hotchkiss, a
young actress who belongs in Wash
ington, proved to be just right for
Eleurette. Miss Hotchkiss had been
in many New York productions. but
she made a point of trying for q
place in a company that had such
close connection with her home
interests. Another, young WASH
ington actress who has been in New
York productions found a part that
suited her. This was Helen Burch,
who will be recognized as one of the
most bewitching of the dainty
Pierrettes.
On Mrs. Tinnin devolved a heavy
task. She looked after much of the
scenery, which Mrs. H. L. Rust, Jr.,
designed and she did a hundred
other things to help aong the prog
ress of the production. Her most
important work, however, was the
rehearsing of the group of dancers
now making her famous, for they
insist on being known as the Tin
min dancers.
In this group are ten girls who
had studied under Mrs. Tinnin. Sew
eral of them had been on the pro-
fessional stage. but they left other
enga agements in order to join their
former associates. One of these is
Pauline Graf. On the theatre pro-
gram she is Paula Meredith. As
leader of the Amazons she does a
piece of work which brings her
great applause every night and es-
tablishes her as an artist.
All who see The Peacock Dance.
and The Dance of the Amazons',
will feel an especial interest when
they know that the dancers are COL
lege girls and daughters of well
known families. And when the
Uffulpoofs. the absurd figures that
appear in the dark to 60 through
the most amusing antics, come ON
the stage, Caroline B. Mckinley
should have the credit of originat-
ing the feature which has deyeloped
such ridiculous possibilities.
