ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL
PRESENTS SPRING PLAY

Washington high schools have made
many worthy dramatic presentations
during the last few years, but it is
doubtful if such a genuine display of
artful acting was developed as by Miss
Esther Galbraith and Mathilde Eiker,
director, in the presentation OF
Pineros "Trelawney of the Wells" by
the Roosevelt High School Dramatic
Group last night. 1t will be repeated
tonight.
The acting Of Nancy Hall and John
Kendrick, playing the respective roles
of Rose Trelawney and Vice Chan
cellor Sir William Cover, was Of
high caliber. Miss Hall mastered her
full dialogue without an error. Mr.
Kendrick performed in an equally fine
manner. However, without support
ing caSt-and in this case neces-
sarily good one-they still could not
have attained the heights they did.
For this credit is due Charles Beck.
Jewel Moore and Thomas Owen as
Tom Wrench, Avonia Bum and Ar
thur Cover, respectively. as well as
Beverly Emmett in the role of Imo-
gen Parrott. David Seidel as Charles,
the butler; Shirley Rowe as Miss
Trafalgar Cover, Royal Saxild as
Capt. Frederick de Foenix and Flea
nor Hopping as Clara de Foenix.
Having lesser roles, but in those
roles as good as the opportunity af-
forded. were Mary Jane White as Mrs.
Mossop, Robert Kohn as Mr.. Albeit,
Joseph Goldstein as Mr.. Teller,
Arthur Branscombe as Ferdinand
Gadd, Martin Meyers as Augustus
Colpoys, Virginia Amadon as Mrs.
Teller and Dorothy Davis as Sarah.
In summing up the evenings pro-
gram, 1t can be said that if competi-
tive high school dramatic groups
equal Roosevelt Highs Spring play,
they can rest assured they have done
no injustice to the art they toyed
with. Miss Hall tonight turns over
her part in the cast to Miss Margaret
Ruckert, while Kendrick, in his char
acter role of an old English gentle
man Of Cavendish Square, will re-
peat his performance.

'RIPTIDE,' WITH SHEARER
GOES INTO SECOND WEEK
Story Is Well Told, With the Star
Doing Some Splendid
Acting.

When in recent years Messers. Fred
erick Lonsdale, Philip Barry, John
Van Druten began to handy about
IN manuscript their clipped and wit
ty comments on the glided rich. they
established one of the most popular
modern schools of the English speak
ing stage. Their sharp and Senti-
mental labors have kept in lush pros
perity such Svelte mimicS as Herbert
Marshall. Robert Montgomery and
Norma Shearer. So long as the Gin
ema continues to do handsomely by
the tradition, as certainly has been
done in the picture "Riptide," which
went to Loew's Columbia for hold
over week yesterday, it is only fair
to wish the practice well.
Beneath the glamorous surface Ed
mund Goulding has spread over his
own story of love among the bond
holders, which apparently he wrote
with a sensitive ear to the Barry key
hole, there is to be found, at rough
estimate, twice the customary por-
ton of mother love. Arraigned in
their bright new garments of wit and
represented through the deft talents
of Marshall. Montgomery and Miss
Shearer, however, these time honored
sentiments somehow become fresh
and alluring.
"Riptide" is the tale of a frivilous
American lass, who meets and marries
a charming young English lord, goes
to London to live with him. has a
child, a butler and a blonde nurse
for the daughter, subsists in the best
regulated manner for four years.
When her husband is away on trip
to America she visits the Riviera with
his aunt. meets there a New York
youth whose gay inanities remind
her life in the English baronial man
ner is somewhat stuffy. A splendid
scandal arises when the playboy
tumbles from a balcony while leap
ing with bleats of rage toward her
apartment. The lad RECEIVERS. She
returns to England. So does her
husband Thenceforward the compl-
cations of "Riptide" are fast and
scintillating, and If your taste leans
to tinselled treatment of matrimonial
Ills, its solutions will be found both
clever and conventional.
Two amusing shorts and news
reel fill out the Columbia bill.

Just why the R-K-O Co. wanted
Miss Hepburn to play Trigger Hicks
Is something that it is difficult to
fathom. Although the character is
unusual and in many instances ex-
ceedingly fine (the spirituality of the
girl being neatly balanced with her
hard-set crudeness) and although she
has one or two of those soft, senti-
mental moments which made Little
Women" what it was, Miss Hepburns
Bryn Mawr English is yet too we'll
known to be able to trip into the
wilds and come out as a neo-T -Tarzan
vocabulary. Only once or twice does
she approximate the drawl of the
mountain folk, her best moments
coming out clear and true as they
have always done in the manner of a
young girl who is we'll educated, hand
some and at home in every capital of
the world
Nevertheless, you have to hand it
to Miss Hepburn for getting away with
Trigger Hicks as well as she does and
for making a dull story seem occas-
ionally almost downright bright. She
Is given the almost impossible task
of trying to prove that there still
are sections of the country where
husky mountain girls can be thought
of as witches because they cast spells
for good and evil and pray to their
god from cards printed with biblical
phrases. And she also has to prove
that while such a girl can be crude
and rude as well as curiously religious,
when the right man comes along she
can fall in love with him as neatly as
any Connecticut avenue debutante.
Frankly, the story is a little hard
to swallow and not by any means well
constructed. 1t gives Miss Hepburn,
however. all the footage in the world
