this Winchell Smith play, and it's
laughs are so evenly distributed
that the performance Is uniform

Sidney Mason seems established
as a favorite with Capital play

the leads is worthy OF commenda-
ton. Ada Meade Is congenially
cast and never looked more
charming. Wanda Lyon, whose
beauty already has excited COM
ment, played in her usual admir-
able way. Gerald oliver Smith,
Sara Farrar and the other princi-
pals justify their prominence in
the cast. The Boomerang" ranks
with the greatest stock presenta-
tions Washington has seen.
Thursday afternoon, at the
close OF the matinee, Wanda
Lyon and Sidney Mason will hold
a reception on the Garrick stage.

Be SQUARE WITH GOD,
IS PLEA OF BACkUS

BE square with God as you would
with your fellow man on earth" was
the admonition of Rev. A. II. Backus
in his evangelistic address at the
Grace NJ. f. church Sunday evening.
III We go through our daily walks
Of life and desire people to Judge US as
fair. square dealing men and women,
we must recognize the great power of
God Almighty.
This is beautiful, wonderful, mag
nificent and lovely world in which we
live and enjoy the breath of the fresh
air which is entirely free. All these
things belong to God and if you enjoy
them, breath his air and live in the
world which is his, you owe him one
thing and that is some recognition for
the Wonderful things which he has
given us.
The nails in the hands and feet
and the spear which pierced his side
did not hurt nearly SO much as the fact
that despite all his suffering Christ
had been stunned by all mankind.
Christ died to save and to be turned
/ down in recognition of this was more
painful TO Christ than all the suffering
of the thorns about the head and the
death on the cross.
