NEAR MISS GREY: ann in quandary. My daughter
L. II years of age has away from home three times
Tho do not allow her to play with other children in the
stand why she persists in running away take her TO
shows and trips to town and always try TO be COM
panion to the girl. WORRIED MOTHER.
Your problem is not weighty if YOU will just take
few things into consideration. Your child needs something
than companonshp She needs paymates She needs
the opportunity TO mnge with other children in order that
she minge with other adults when she is grown TO
maturity.
All too forget how to pay-the years pass
quickly and responsibilities fall upon All the years OF
ambition, endeavor and cannot for match
the value of chldhoods fleeing play Once past il is

There not many children who will away from

will away from other responsibilities of maturity

He pointed ou' that many OF my

Amid much laughter we tried the

Skinner ORGAN
RECITAL NEW
USAGE
How organist Won Esteem OF
a New Church Parish
Over the Radio

Musical. church, and social Wash
ington has bid a very regretful
farewell to Mr.. and Mrs. Louis A.
Potter. who left today for their
new home in Charleston. w. Va,
where Mr.. Potter has received q
very flattering offer as organist
and minister of music" Of the
large new Baptist Temple there.
1t is losing Louis and Ruby" Pot
ter to all of us who are closely
associated with music here. And
Mrs. Potter is to be the soprano
soloist of the church.
A very touching incident, that
shows what marvels we are in the
midst of, for fellowship through
music, gave Louis Potter his first
introduction to his new charge.
When he played a radioed organ
recital, from the Skinner Organ
Studio in New York recently, the
hour was set just at the close OF a
church service.
This new church home was so
eager to know It's new organist
that they tuned in" having a loud
speaker in the church itself, and
there the entire congregation sat
throughout the recital, so far
away. They are also sending a
delegation to Huntington to meet
the newcomers part way and to
escort them into Charleston. He
plays his first service there on
May 8.
''why did Washington let them
go?" is what we are hearing on
every side. The answer might be-:
Undoubtedly for larger things!
We remember Ruby Potter, with
her musical sweet, fresh voice, sing
ing the star role in the dainty
opera, Secret of Susanna" with
the Washington Opera Company,
during it's first days. 1t was as
the Friday Morning Music Club. in
March, that they gave a farewell"
recital, when Louis Potter also
sang duets with his wife in q lovely
light baritone voice. How we re-
member the charm Of their Mozart
Organ recitals and piano recitals
at the lovely home of William s.
Corby are stored away, to be re-
peated many times we hope. We
think of Louis Potter as essentially
sympathetic to Chopin and to
Brahms, though he catches much
of the elusive quality of the
moderns. They will be rich addi-
tons to any community in which
they make their home, they and
the two lovely little children who
are following in the music paths.
There will always be a welcome
home here to these two artists who
are pride to our city.

CENTURY CLUB MEMBERS

Alice in Cumberland" is to be
the keen second annual play of
the Twentieth Century Club, to be
presented by the members at the
National Theater on the evening
of May Is. They call it a Modern
Morality Play" in seven episodes,
and these episodes are from the
pens OF the members, also, though
there is a strict watch kept to con-
ceal which satirical sketch each of
the seven wrote.
Song and satire will prevail. No
one is spared, they say, from the
world of high politics or from the
social sphere. The writer's of the
lyrics are Mrs. George Bowerman,
two by Isabel Harrington, Marie
Manning Gasch, Mabel Swormstedt,
Gertrude Stevens and Lillian Her.
ron. Alice Stier Byrnes has ar
ranged the music that is adapted
to these lyrics.
