NATIONAL-"Rebeccs of Sunnybrook
Farm"

Easter week in the National Theater
will mark the revival of a celebrated
stage classic. Kate Douglas Virgins and
Charlotte Thompson's New England
ldyl, "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"
After the Wiggin novel had swept the
country by storm two decades ago and
had captivated public fancy, it was
uansplanted to the stage, where over
night it became a success as popular as
1t was on the printed page. The last
presentation in Washington of this play
was about II years ago. when, during
the week of March II, 1912, Edith
Talliferro. noted stage star of bygone
days. presented it at the National.
Rebecca. the girl who dWelt on Sunny
brook Farm, has been rated by critics
and reviewers as one of the outstanding
American characters. comparable with
Tess of the D'Urbervilles, the heroine
of Thomas Hardy. although Tess and
Rebecca are remotely removed in cfarac-
ter. Both are world characters. The
( New England lass Rebecca charms by
1 her naivette, her humor and her merry
Z heart. She is opposite in her stand to
her old-maid aunt'S rigid discipline.
But she wins the love of good man
and true and this forms a love story
that is not surpassed in the American
theater.
Because of the unusual drawing power
of "Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm" the
opening will take place Easter Monday
afternoon. There also will be matineeS
Wednesday and Saturday.

No Definite Plan Expected.
1.-THE petroleum conference called by
President Hoover accomplished some

thanks to the wide newspaper publicity,
it focused the eyes of the Nation upon
one of the most pressing and vital
national industrial problems. During
the conference, a great deal of intorma-

After a lunch at the cabin we mushed the Pores try trail to Snow river falls where the trail ended-then our difficulties began, going thru the woods and sWamps - reaching Paradise Valley at 8 p. m. Tired, but the sight of the valley is we'll worth the effort. While mak- ing camp in cottonwood grove we counted 167 sheep on the op- posite mountain; also three bears and a moose in the valley.

While crossing the dam we saw a bull moose in the willows, staring at us. We skinned the bear and reached camp at 6 pm; after supper took a walk thru a cot tonwood grove and up knoll, to get a near view of glacier nearby-watched the sheep on the mountainside; saw 51 ewes
