VIRGINIA PIONEERS
ARE PAID TRIBUTE
Landing of English 323 Years
Ago Remembered at
Cape Henry.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAPE HENRY, Va April 26.-Trib-
ute was paid by $500 persons here to-
Gay to the courage, fortitude and right
eousness of the brave little band Of
EngliShmen who came ashore at this
point 323 years ago to establish the
first permanent Anglo-Saxon civiliza-
ton in new world.
The throng stood within sight of a
rugged cross, planted on the wind
swept dunes, as Bishop A. C. Thomson
OF the Episcopal diocese of Virginia
led the memorial services and lauded
the characters of the men who came
ashore from the three tiny ships-Sarah
Constant, Goodspeed and Discovery. The
cross stands where the colonistS are
said first to have touched land to claim
the territory for God and King and
name the point Cape Henry.
Forced indoors by inclement weather,
the ceremonies were conducted in the
Cape Henry Casino. Mrs. Franz Nay
Tor Of Norfolk, named by the governor
to deliver the historical address, de-
scribed the 127-day voyage, the land
ing at Cape Henry and the final settle
ment at jamestown Island.
Short addresses we're delivered by
Gov. John Garland Pollard of Virginia,
Gov. L. G. Hartman of Georgia and
Brig. Gen. William F. Ladd of Con-
necticut
LAS we stand on this sacred spot we
feel gratitude to God and to our fore
fathers who braved the dangers of the
sea and fought successfully against
pestilence and savages to found the
greatest nation the world has ever
SEEN" Gov. Pollard said. He paid trib-
ute to the spirit of the doughty little
band, including Capt. John Smith, who
was in irons when the colonistS came
ashore, but later the leader of the group.
Gov. Hardman said the courage and
spirit OF the colonistS had made Ameri-
ca q great Nation and that this spirit
was still carrying on to greater things.
He said Virginians had set an example
OF Righteousness and courage, and called
attention to the words Of Henry Clay.
O Virginian.
"Clay was for the abolition of slav-
cry long before Lincoln" Gov Hard
man said. when told that this would
defeat him he said:
at had rather be right than Presi-
dent"
The Georgia governor praised Vir-
ginia for the great men she had con-
tributed to the Nation and added:

1t is pure tomfoolisnness, with
enough truth in it to give 1t solid

It should not require three acts,
the first one running full hour and
twenty minutes, to drive home the
fundamental idea of this political
extravaganza" the idea being that
we may get awfully tired of pushing
the old Apple Cart along, but we
fear, above everything else, to push
1t over. 1t has been dumped, OF
course, and the last decade and a
half have seen more apple carts
dumped In various parts of the world
than in any similar period of his
tory. Nor does it take Mr.. Shaw
that long to expound his theory of
what keeps the apple cart-or. more
accurately, what will keep the apple
cart-rolling along with such COM
forting stability in England. So he
pads out his lecture with two acts
of sparkling dialogue, asking his own
questions on civicS and democracy
and answering them eS he pleases,

for much that was good about the
others, since 1t was she who staged
the production and tucked in, here
and there, innovations that must
have been absolutely her own.
Miss George was assisted IN her So
luton of the marital and immarital
difficulties of her erStwhile husband
by two gentlemen who, through their
performances, contributed a good
half of the evenings fun. A. e.
Matthews, as husband number one,
and Lawrence Grossmith, as the
would-be husband number two,
scowled and showed their teeth at
each other. asked Miss George to
marry them several times, and got
more and more amusing as their
anger became more and more RAM
pant. Mr.. Matthews seemed to have
special fun with the juggling of
his Scotch brogue, and, although Mr..
Grossn1ith had something other than
his lines on his mind. he was al
most, If not quite, perfect.
The story that st. John Ervine
has chosen to hang his wit and
humor on is a thoroughly modern
one, with dialogue that sparkles
continually and explodes OCCASION
ally. In 1t Miss George as the di-
vorced wife of a rich and pleasant
numbskull helps to get him his
divorce from his second wife and
then waits to have him propose to
her in the grand style all over again.

far as It is concerned with the theme
under discussion. But naturally, 1t
is all good, worth all the minutes
and many more, that 60 into letting
Mr.. Shaw have his little joke. All of
1t is delightfully."- funny and some Of
it uproariouSly absurd. The scene in
the second act with the king and
his lady love rolling about the floor
reminds somehow Of the exuberant
spirits of an old gentleman who, in
sheer delight with himself, goes out
on the lawn and stands on his head,
the old gentleman being the well
known Mr.. Shaw.
First honors in cast that de-
serves many must be given to Tom
Powers for his delightful character
ization of MagnuS, the King of Eng

For King Magnus Is more than a
tradition, q god. or belief. He is
lovable and capable human being in
his own right, whose sense of humor
enables him to see more clearly than
any one else the sham that keeps
the apple cart on all four wheels,
but whose sincere love for his sub
jects, which transcends the love Of
the politicians, forces him to exert
himself to prevent its being dumped
over. If there were more like King
Magnus, fewer apple carts would ever
have been upset. Mr.. Shaw Is sur
prisingly gentle in his treatment Of
Magnus. Claude Rains is a capable
and convincing Prime Minister, and

weeks career last night at the Shu-
bert -Belasco. Entitled "The First
Mrs. Fraser" and written by the
customarily somber Mr.. st. John
Ervine, this proved to be the lightest,
brightest domestic mix-up and tri-
angle complex that has graced local
boards during the current theatrical
semester.
Although the subject, the people,
the tempo and the dialogue were
all reminiscent of many things that
have passed into warehouses, the
cast put so much more into the Sit
uation than there actually was, and
was so thoroughly good at every
stage of the performance, that the
play rose from the only "so-so" that
It might have been and climbed into
the better -of-the- class.
Much of this was due, of course,
to Miss Grace George. She seemed

Physicians as yesterday morning,

patient began to hiccough again SHORTY

Attendants at Casualty Hospital to
which Reid was admitted Friday after
his home remedies had failed him, have
been busy answering telephone inquiries
and jotting down suggestions.
These have been offered by physi-

to Capitol Hill. The hiccoughs devel-

About a year ago Reid was the VIC

for 10 days. Doctors say his robust
constitution should carry him safely

the ordeal is tremendous drain on the
