ADJUSTMENTS
WARDMAN PARK-"The Little Min.
isteF."


George Vivian and Shirley Horton
score farewell triumph in the principal
roles OF Sir James Barrie's Little Min
ister," the final production of the Ogle
Tinnin, Brown Company's repertory OF
plays which have delighted junior thea
ter goers Of the Capital this season at
the Wardman Park Theater.
Mr.. Vivian plays the title role and
Miss Horton was cast as the fair Lady
Barbara whose spirit Of mischief very
nearly wrecked the life of the man she
loves. Both gave an exceptionally col
orful performance. and were ably sup
ported by the other members OF the cast.
Great credit is due the entire company
for the smoothness of the performance
in view of the fact that but four days
were allowed for preparation before pre-
senting it. Only once during the open
ing performance was there the slightest
indication that any one might be cropping
for cue.
Gordon Kilbourne made a deep inn
preston with her handling of the COM
paratively small role OF the French maid,
Felice, while Henry Fonda as Rob Dow.
the reformed drunkard, was forceful and
Kent Smith a typical Scotsman, in in
terpreting the Straight-laced chief elder,
Thomas Whammond.
The usual artistic settings which nave
marked all the productions OF this COM
pany, reproduced wildly the little town
If Thrums. II is interesting 10 note that
all Of this scenery was designed and
painted by the actors themselves, who
md time somehow between rehearsals
to create their garden sets and castle
halls within which they are TO perform.
Next season. II the necessary backing
from local patrons and patronesses Is
forthcoming, the Junior Theater Com
pany hopes to present q similar roper
tory to that just completed, with per-
haps longer program.

time they let him go he was help
