Members Of the Armenian colony In
Washington are planning for the recep-
ton of Right Rev. Leon Tourian, Bishop
of the Armenian National Apostolic
Church of the Diocese of North and
South America, who plans to visit the
National Capital September 1928 dur
ing the course of an extended tour.
In letter to Nejib Hekimian, who is
active in Armenian religious and social
circles here, Bishop Tourian expressed
the wish to visit the White House and
points of historic interest while in
Washington. No program for his local
stay has been arranged as yet.
Bishop .Tourian, while stationed at
Smyrna during the disaster, escaped
death twice at the hands Of Turkish
mobS in a manner which his fellow
churchmen have come to regard as
miraculous. An accomplished linguist,
he is the author of several volumes of
sermons and has been q bishop 10
years, having been consecrated at the
age Of 80.
The headquarters Of Bishop Tourian's
diocese are In New York City.

TONIGHT

In philip Goes Forth" George
Kelly has written a comedy Of
American character. The new
comedy will be presented at the
National tonight for an engage
ment limited to five perform
ances including the matinee on
Saturday.
Mr.. Kelly'S play opens with a
viole mt disagreement betwetNl
father and son which results in
the departure Of the ambitious
son for New York. His father,
a business man Of great wealth,
insists that the boy step into his
office and carry on the big busi-
ness. But Philip has other ideas.
The making Of money, he tells
his father, is lacking in ultimate
significance. Also in dramatic
values. He wants to do some
thing different.
Has Good Cast
A college friend has explained
to Philip that the writing of
plays is the great career Of the
moment. So Philip decides that
it will not be too difficult, he
having seen so many bad plays
recently that he feels he can
turn out much better ones him.
self. ,
To his fathers and his aunt's
horror and to his fathers infinite
disgust he leaves home and goes
to live in a boarding house in
Lexington Avenue, New York.
There the author introduces a
group of characters of amazing
originality and interest and there
Philip finds himself in a series
of surprising adventures and ex-
perienceS in which George Kelly
again proves himself a master of
the unexpected.
The cast provided by the pro-
ducer, Laurence Rivers, includes
