Earl Foxe provided much amuse-

in the way of clean comedy In the
play. OF course, he had much of the
other kind as we'll. as there was
hardly enough urobjectionable fun

earn his salary. Lilyan Tashman, as

Coralinn Wade handled their roles

the work of Wanda Lyon in the role
of Pattie Walrlck.
The play is well known and its
reputation for double meanings and
general objectionableness was well
sustained. One must thank the au-
thor for his consideration in one re-
spect, however. The opening dialogue
is perhaps the most filled with in
nuendos of any part of the play. The
conversation takes place in the dark
ness of a room before the lights are
flashed on. This was well. for it was
far easier to listen to it in the dark.

Out of the ordinary. and breezy
with freshness of an almost Steven

along until-all of a sudden-it Is

There are all the elements of fas-
cination-a hidden treasure in an is
land of the sea, racing ships. which
struggle for the prize. the hero. and
not only one but two women, Chinese
sailors, knives, gu- fights on hill
tops, and all that virile and deadly
struggle that reminds one of some

that he loved men less" SO the story
goes but that he loved guns and
pistols more"
The hero. Parrish, played by Rich
ard Dix with great gusto. was a
not to ask the girl of his choice for
her hand until he had achieved sue
cess in the sale of his story. Through
foul play in a storm stranger dies
in Parrish's arms, leaving word of
the treasure map beneath a stone.
The adventures or the nero ana hef-
oine in their search for the treasure.
in the struggles for the prize, in the
capture of rival forces and final vic

tion with great joy. He. who loves
the sea, the tang and zip of changing
fortune and the thrill perennial of a

The cast Is excellent throughout,
including Dix, and Helene Chadwick

Tucker and Henry Barrows. Short

disnce was seated on the lawn.
The cast. costumed with studious
attention to detail and historic pro-

Those participating were Admetus,

king, Miss Ives portrayal of the wife
who dies to save her husband from
inpersonation Of Herakles. who re-
stores the dead wife to life in graft
tude for the hospitality Of his friend

the queens approaching demise, Mr.
Jarvis faithful and feeling work as
the elder friend of the king, Mr.
Rhodes in his role as the kings
father and Mr.. Perce and Mr.. Fell in
their dialogue as Apollo and DEATH
which serve as prologue for the
play. received warm appreciation from
the audience. James Otis Porter, in
addition to playing Herakles, directed
the production.
The success of this presentation is
likely to cause the Arts Club to in
clude in it's dramatic work at least
one Greek play each year.

The Juvenile Protective Association
is the youngest of the social agencies
need in a field not covered by other
organizations. In the four and half
years during which it has been
functioning, the association has
actively and, to a large extent sue
cessfuily, striven to prevent delin-
trict of Columbia. During one year
alone over 200 cases were referred by
the Juvenile Court to the protective
association and through various other
channels critical conditions and prob
lens have been brought to the Office
of the Juvenile Protective Association
to be worked out.
At this season of the year, when
children are released from school
activities, there is a greater need for
trained held workers and for big
brothers and big sisters to insure
proper guidance of neglected children
and those who rebel against over
stringent parental control. In many
instances parents themselves seek
the assistance of the Juvenile Pro-
tective Association. where they are
unable to cope with family or neigh
borhood conditions
