wilson, she took to station w. r.
G." q little group OF friends who
had been dining with her-Miss
Olive Graef and Marion Law among
them. And the resultant get-to-
gether brought about a movement to
revive the once famous Dramatic
Club, which put on the best amateur
theatrIcals seen in Washington in
years, for a series of short plays
over the radio. They mean to rush
things through so that they may
put on at least one play before Mrs.
Davidson goes away.
To Revive Dramatic Club
It will be remembered that Betty
Davidson, then Betty Hanna, was a
moving spirit in the Dramatic Club
when 1t was at the height of its
glory several years ago, putting on
several groups Of one-act plays at
the Playhouse each season. Others
III the group were Miss Louise Ross
Todd, now Mrs. s. Parker Gilbert,
IT.; Miss Marjorie Wright, now Mrs.
David McKendree Key; Miss Graef,
Mr.. Law, Winant Johnston and
Hugh Tenant, then with the Brit
ish embassy.
Company Somewhat Scattered
The company is somewhat scat
tered now. News of the death of
Hugh Tenant reached us a few
weeks ago. causing general and
genuine sorrow, for he had many
friends in this country. Mrs. Gill
bert is abroad and so is Mrs. Key,
whose husband is in the foreign
service and stationed, / think, in
Holland. But with Mrs. Dawson, Miss
Graef, Marion Law, and one or two
others as a nucleus, and much
talent lying fallow among society
folks. it should be easy to build up
q similar group. Foxhall Danger
field directed the Dramatic Club, and
he is in town. ready, I'm sure, to
respond to. a call for aid.
