sees that her aunt's choice will breed
only incompatibility; she sees also that
she herself wants the man her aunt
has her eyes on. To accomplish the
elsewhere and capturing her own VIC
tim, she resorts to awkward but hilari-
GUS tactics, which form the structure
for the ludicrous scenes that follow.

COLUMBIA PLAYERS in "Herod."
UHEROD," the season end produc-
= i ton Of the Columbia Players, Is
to be given at Wardman Park Theater
Friday night. It is In striking contrast
to their performance Of "Ten Nights in
Bar Room" last year, for which
artistic, intellectual and social Wash
ington turned out in large numbers.
The throne room of the King of
Judea in "Herod," as reproduced by the
scenic artists Of the Columbia Players,
has little In common with Simon SHADES

but, 1t Is announced, it will be set forth
with the same modernistic touch. The
fate of the King of Judea has quite as
many thrills, though the background Is
blank verse.

number arranged to dispel q mood Of
Herod.
