AS they ate or awaited their turn
at the tables, all differences of race or
caste were forgotten.

re-enaCted in the Metropolitan A. M. E.
Church. on M street between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth streets. Since January

one day each week between and

any one who was out OF a job and
hungry to come in and eat his NIL.

cepted the invitation was that 1t was
the best free meal in town
Yesterday afternoon. the members of
the church under direction Of their

Woman members of the congrega-
ton cook the food and serve it to the

were thrown open to the hungry 2O6
men, 40 of whom were white, were
served. The next time there were only
l59 men. and only 81 were white. A

turns out to be the real thing,
features Cock Robin" by Elmer
Rice and Philip Barry, which is
to be presented by the Cue and
Curtain Club of the George
Washington University at the
Wardman Park Theater on the

Cock Robin" presents not
only an extremely clever mystery
plot, but an amusing satire on
amateur dramatic efforts. The
story centers about the Cope
Valley Players and their attempts
to produce Robin Hood" The
audience sees portrayed on the
stage the final rehearsal of the
Robin Hood drama which, to the
amazement of members of the
cast, eliminates in the actual
murder of one of their number.
From that point, the three-act
drama presents Swiftmoving,
thrilling, and hilarious action.
