EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL
\ :; GIVES AUTUMN SHOW
Revue Affords Chance for Amateurs
~ to Show Their Talent-Re-
Nv peating Tonight.


Eastern High Schools Fall Show of
1888" with novel acts and splendid di-
rsetion, was a success last night, play
ing before a large and appreciative
audience in the Eastern High audi
torium. Presented in three acts, which
afforded the participants opportunity to
demonstrate their ability along many
lines, the production ran smoothly, not
being too drawn out, as happens in
many amateur shows.
AS is usual in Eastern productions,
the stage settings proved well con-
Structed and formed a fine background
The same good form was shown in the
costuming and other necessary phases
Of production, but SURPRISING all others
Was the manner in which the show was
produced and directed.
Daniel Gevinson, who last year gave
his Kate Smith interpretations, again
proved successful in his role as Ne
GRO nanny" In the second act Kirk
Spalding, Anna Carpenter, Frances
Burger, Faith SheSong Rosetta Weber,
Helen Clum. Mary Follmer and Eleanor
Bergling made excellent contributions:
"A stage crew showed clearly that
they are not always 'unsung heroes"
and, taking advantage of the spotlight
thrown on them, George Macdonald,
Fred Mike. Walter Freeman, Bernard
Reed aud Ben RoSsner did well as per-
formers.
.Ardella Burrell had a slight edge for
excellence of performance on the tap
dancers with her skate tap dance,
though all were good. In his whistling
act Clarence Palmer proved to be far
better than average.
IAN amusing finale, with the singing
OF you've Got to Be a Foot Ball Hero
brought to a close the production.
Washington's other high schools will
have to do better than average to equal
the mark set by Eastern last night.
The show will be repeated tonight at
O'Clock. P. N. j.

This settles once and for all the bat
tie that was being waged in Hollywood
over the Cornell opus-and Is, OF course,
a major victory for Miss Harding The
latter needs something strong and i'm
pressive to take away the current opin-
ion that she has had too many whimSi-
cal words to juggle of late and too little
plot to juggle them with. Miss Harding
cannot go along giving her best in neo-
shoddy productions. Although she lends
a luster to almost anything at hand,
she needs careful grooming and some
thing soon that should be bolt out OF
the blue.
In ALIEN Corn" she will play the
piano and have people die for her.
That, at least, Is a good beginning.
A CCORDING to a copiously endowed
\ local brain, Katharine Hepburn is
''the least good part of Little Women"
ITO me-" said a noted free thinker the
other day. "She is too brusque in the
opening scenes Too mannish. Not at
all what 10 was-and is" Poo-pooing
this suggestion without giving 1t more
than a glance, it has occurred to us,
however. that this may very likely be
true When Miss Hepburn Is brusque,
she is very, very brusque, but when she
is not bruSque she is perfect. In the
eventual summing up of things, her
smile in Little Women"-a picture
which Keith's justly will present with
pride tomorrow evenings more in
evidence than her ungovernable stride.
Her moods of light and shade are han
oued with rare adroitness-her senti-
ment is neither too thick or too shall
low. and her winning ways as the
story books tell you, are something that
YOU will want to take home with you.
The good of her. in the last half, over
comes the heartiness in the first.
