PLAY TOURNAMENT

Seldom has any church promoted a
one-act play tournament among its own
members as the Foundry Methodist
Episcopal Church did last week with
such success. With mediums such as
THE Valiant" and Joint Owners in
Spain" for the expression of their tai
ents. the four dramatic groups present.
ed dramas Of entertaining value.
The Valiant" presented by the
Young Peoples League, lost none of its
emotional qualities by the adept fash
ion in which the cast portrayed the
roles. Clarence Walther, as the convict,
enacted his part with skill and not a
little understanding. The parson. Rob-
ert Hill. and the warden. Charles Hunt
were exceptionally fine in their roles
The cast was completed by Lee HuntZ-
berger, Donald Cottrell and Betty Weist.
The Wesley Clubs presentation. Joint
Owners in Spain," provided many a
laugh. Outstanding were MAZDA Foster
and Evelyn Spencer for their interpre-
tations. Made Lea Cardwel and Elsie
Parker completed the cast.
What Men Live By" offered by the
senior department. was entertaining
Mildred Hearn as the wife of William
H. Rodda was as talented as her hus-
band. Frank Brisebois, Austin Gattis,
Leonard Smith, Barbara Harris. Portia
Keller, Marion Lancaster, Margaret
Woods, Grady Gore. Carolyn Brian and
Carolyn Laise completed the cast.
The Hi-League's presentation of the
Florist Shop" with little more prep
aration, would have been as well done
as the other plays. Eleanor Lyle was
the star of this skit. The cast included
ALI Jansson, Elizabeth Schrimer and
Walter Best.
Credit is due to Douglas Mcknight.
Marguerite Rench, Miss Maude Elliott
and Miss Ruth Wheatley for their di-
rection. Justin Iawrie and Leland
Sprinkle entertained with musical

LAW MAY BENEFIT
GOLD PRODUCERS.
Initiation Effects Depend on
Payment of Premium as
Now in Canada.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 15.-With the in
fiation bill now law, the traditional
status Of the gold producer may be
sharply altered.
Unique among the country's products,
gold has suffered no price decline
during the years Of depression. Fixed
ton has not been changed, despite the
fact that the dollar is no longer
moored to gold.
Under the imitation law the President
can reduce the gold content of the
dollar as much as so per cent. This
would automatically result in higher
price being paid for the metal at the
mint.
Effect Of Premium.
On the other hand, credit expansion,
currency expansion or the introduction
Of silver into the country's monetary
system, would not affect the price at
which Americas gold producers can sell
their product, unless Washington would
follow the course of Canada and pay
the premium which could be obtained
in a gold standard country if exports
to that country were allowed.
When the United States went off the
gold standard and the dollar declined
in the foreign exchange markets, do
mestic gold was naturally placed at a
discount, as compared with that which
could be obtained in the free market
Of London, or If sold to a country still
moored to gold.
Policy Remains Obscure.
The administrations policy with re-
Spect to future gold purchases remains
obscure. With an embargo on his prod
uct and boarding prohibited, domestic
gold producer has no alternative but
to sell to the Government on the same
terms as in the past. Under such con-
ditions. earnings will be governed
solely by the volume of production and
production costs.
But If the Government adopts the
Canadian formula and pays the
premium that would be received if ex-
ports were permitted. or secondly, if
the dollar were devaluated, the earn
ings Of the domestic producers would
be substantially increased.
In Canada earnings Of gold producers
have shown improvement during the
last two years because the Canadian
government is allowing producers the
full premium which the free market at
London offers.

leislurely one. What does she do?
She has come in looking very Chi
chi and cute with a coat Of brilliant
blue cotton with yellow dots all over It
The ties OF this coat form a gres4

beret made Of the tiniest detail
leather forehead band and rattail-of
the printed cotton. She has ON bril-.
liant yellow socks and sports shoes OF
the same material, as her full -finging
little coat with the great bow.
1t only takes minutes to slip out
Of the shoes and socks, and into white
buckskin shoes with high heels and a
very smart design in punch-work. The
rest you know-cape Of the white dress
has been on all the time Under
the blue coat-and white fez Another
pair of gloves, for her hands have been
covered with brilliant yellow twine-
knit mittens-and she's of looking very
formal after q most informal entrance.
A lot more very cute things may be
done with this same dress. There is,
for instance, the jacket of black linen
sable as the night-which she some
times tops it off with. This jacket
is very broad at the shoulders end
tapering at the waist. 1t sports
chechia of black linen and if the Cci-
bert wears a scarf. she chooses one of
finest black handkerchief linen with a
tiny design in white. These black linen
neck gadgets are more than chic: But
the linen must be so fine that you can
slip the entire thing through a little
finger ring.
And one day I saw her with a box
coat Of candy pink pique and what
looked almost like a little jockey cap
Of the same. The shoes that day were
of pique also-candy pink and with
heels. But the dress was that same
white matelasse which saves so much
OF her time by its sheer adaptability to
her many whims.

more had mumps. Mr.. Stuart played
mination were all to the good. But
for the fact that his dark-blue suit
was overshiny IN spots, his appearance
and performance seemed faultless.
What, now, has Mr. Stuart done be-
fore in the theater? We trust the
Theater Guilds eminent Russell Grouse
will advise us as to this.
Donald Qeading mani Woods has had
tough break. Last Winter Broadway
saw Mr. Woods only briefly in a play
called Singapore" in which he did
some very tempestuous wooing, but
which, unfortunately, did not alter the
fact that the play was very bad play.
Mr.. Woods then relaxed temporarily
into radio work, waiting for that mo-
ment when he might be allotted to
something very fine on the stage. That
moment, unfortunately, did not come.
Broadway was not particularly cordial
to new young actors. Even the old
established actors caught severe colds
from lolling around in draughty agen-
cies.
Last week Mr.. Woods was offered
that break" AS result of his Splen-
did work in the local production Of
Goodbye Again." he was asked to
come to Broadway to play the same
role which Osgood Perkins, on account
of film work, was being forced to re-
linquish Mr. Woods. however, had
already signed a contract to fulfill an
engagement in Glitch Gardens, Denver
(prize stock company troupe, next to
Brookie's) So Mr.. Woods will not be
able to go. That is enough to break
any actors heart-Elitch Gardens or
no. Congratulations and our sympa-
thies. Mr.. Woods. That, We should
say, is real Goodbye Again"

"The Working Man." the recently sue
cessful George Arliss film, will play

SEASIDE PARK OPENS.

Summer will arrive unofficially for
many Washington pleasure seekers next
Saturday, when Seaside Park, Chesa-
peake Beach, opens for the season.
For the past three or four weeks
painters, carpenters and landscape
gardeners have been dressing up the
amusement resort for the opening. The
ball room, where Bernei Jarboe's Mite
hawks will again preside, has been re-
decorated.
The park management has worked
out new arrangement for the amuse-
ment concessions which will bring them
closer to the waters edge, enabling the
patrons to derive the full benefit OF the
bay breezes. The first extra added at
traction for the popular week end
dancing will be Frances Williams, who
scored hit last Summer with her tap
dance routine.
The big 500.000 gallon saltwater
pool at Seaside will be filled by Satur-
day if the weather is warm enough for
outdoor bathing. All the other amuse-
ment devices will be running full blast.

ANN CORIO STARS
IN THE. GAYETY SHOW
She Leads Good Company in
Stock Burlesque at Ninth
Street Theater,

SlISSL L 4u6dI6T.
Considered by many the prettiest
girl now in burlesque, Ann Corio makes
her first appearance here since early in
the Fall with her Girls in Blue" cur
rent at the Gayety this week.
Miss Corio, although not displaying a
convincing voice, nevertheless is a de-
cided favorite here, as was evident by
the applause that marked her initial
appearance. With good musical num-
bers as an aid, she scored pronounced
hit in only two appearances, sufficient
to satisfy the most critical patron.
Several changes find Evelyn Brooks
and Lurisse Fox working in the comedy
skits, and Joy st. Clair and Darlin'
Lucky doing specialties. The former
two are newcomers here, but their work
will most likely entitle them to a few
more weeks, particularly Miss Brooks
Joy st. Clair continues her pleasing
numbers, as does Darlin' Lucky, who is
again seen in those dance numbers that
start off slow and wind up in cyclonic
movements. Nora Murray, the pretty
prima donna of the show, is ever well
coined in those original ballets that are
so cleverly arranged by Paul Kane.
Joe Yule, Lee Hickman and Bim
Davis are still showing the way in
COINeOy. l Ilc LIIcc DOyS are exCepGlOu-
ally clever comedians. Bob Sandberg
fills the role of straight man.
Charley La Vine is taken out Of the
comedy role for the better half of the
show to exhibit his versatility as a
character man. and he fills the bill
His impersonation of DR.. Jeckyl and
Mr.. Hyde is a masterpiece and one that
is we'll worth seeing. Then. as a con-
trast, he teams up with Joe Yule in
novelty song number.
The chorus continues to show i'm
provement under the guidance of Paul

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May IS CNA.
N.AD-The smartest thing In the
Hollywood world, these days, is to
make about three costumes look like
a dozen or more by the clever manipu-
latiop of accessories and combination
Of costume parts.
Ilyan Tashman was one Of the first
Of the colony's sartorialists to try this
successfully-and, / must confess, long
before anyone else dreamed of it. She
would take the belt of one frock and
put 1t on another frock, and then top
the entire thing with the coat of still
another costume. And that was that.
As result she escaped the monotony
which sometimes follows when one cos
tune is worn faithfully as it originally
came.
Take Claudette Colbert's simple
straight slip-like dress Of heavy mate
lasse crepe in white. 1t is cut on bias
tailored lines, Is Iongish for sports
wear, which makes it adaptable to the
Summer afternoon informal tea party
or cocktail drive. The willy little Col
bert has any known number Of effects
she can get from this one foundation
dress. First Of all, there is its own
hip-length cape which ties in huge
bow under the chin and which, when
worn with a leaning tower fez of the
same material, Is formally informal
and fetching to a degree With this
she wears fine white suede gloves with
out buttons, and at least four sizes
larger than any she has worn for sew
eral seasons now. 1t is chic for la
dies hands to swim about in their
gloves: Last season they merely were
comfortable and with room to spare.
Now let us assume La Colbert has
come in from the somewhat informal
beach luncheon and is getting herself
ready for the more formal cocktail
party to which she wears the costume
described above. She has but min
utes in which to effect this change, be-
