SUPPORT FOR EXPERIMENTAL
THEATRE URGED BY CHAMBER

Speaking as chairman of the ed
ucational committee of the Ell Gen.
tro Chamber of Commerce Russell
j. Kliegel today urged that the
people of Ell Centric support the
members of the Experimental The
atre in their efforts to present this
community with a form of inter-
esting and unusual entertainment
of which there has been a lack in
the past. We have in Imperial VAL
ley the best motion pictures, Klei-
gel pointed out, and numerous am
ateur performances Throughout the
year which are well presented, but
we have little opportunity for be-
coming acquainted with the less
known playwrights both here and
abroad who have produced in many
cases the most unusual plays of
their periods.
"Little theatre groups and eX-
perimental theatres have become a
very important part of the cultur-
al side of American life, - stated
persons think they are high
brow and not for the general pub
lie. The local group who have
formed the Experimental Theatre
are not presenting high brow
plays necessarily. They are choos-
ing those plays which are inter-
esting and entertaining and unus-
ual and which any person can
enjoy and appreciate even though
the production may not be well
known to the general public.
This group, composed of local
young people, many of whom have

CZARIST VIEW
OF RUSSIA Is
THEME OF NOVEL

Russia and the Russian revolution
from the standpoint of a member
Of the former CzariSt regime formed
the theme of 'Unforgiven' writ
ten by KraSSnosS, formerly a gen.
eral in the Imperial army.
This book was reviewed last night
by Miss Dorothy Shiveley for the
Junior Ten Thousand club s Book
section. the meeting being held at
the home of Mrs. Cal Rector, In
perial.
In the book the author gives his
viewpoint, naturally prejudiced and
unSympathetic, of modern Russia
and analyzes the Russian character
as being essentially Oriental, rath-
er than European. The book is di-
vided into four parts, each a COM
plete story.
After Miss Shiveley's splendid re-
view, in which she analyzed the
book for herself, the members dis
cuSsed recent events in Russia.
Mrs. Rector, assisted by Miss Ele-
amor Clarke, served refreshments
after the meeting.
The next meeting will be Tues
day, February 20 at the home of
Mrs. Harold Gillett who will also
give the program. At that time the
section will take up the study of
Scandinavian literature.
Those present yesterday were

money on these productions. - Klie-
gel continued. fThey have equip
ped their own theatre in Seeley,
designed their own stage settings
and made their own costumes and
some of their plays have been
written locally. In the past they
have come out even financially on
their productions, which is all that
they have desired In producing
The Romantic Young Lady by
Sierra on February Is and 16 they
have branched out into a field
little more pretentious and costly
than their past endeay6rs and
therefore, if the Experimental The
atre is to be continued, public sup
port is needed Although local
talent is used exclusively, several
OF these amateurs have displayed
professional ability and 1 am sure
that any person attending the next
production will feel that the enter
tainment derived therefrom is far
in excess of the small admission

M'CARL HALTS DUAL
PAY OF GLASSFORD
Must Choose Between Retire
ment and Labor Post In
comes.

Brig Gen. Pelham D. Glassford,
former superintendent of police here,
who now Is acting as a conciliator
for the Labor Department in the I'm
perial Valley in California, must de-
eide whether he will continue to re-
ceive his retired Army pay and carry
on his new duties gratis, or give up
the retired pay while on this assign
ment, which pays him $40 day for
the time actually worked.
This ruling was made by Controller
General McCarl to the finance Of
ficer of the Army when Glassford
sought to collect 10 days retired pay
in April, when he was paid for 20
days as a labor conciliator. The War
Department was in doubt as to
whether this should be allowed and
asked the controller general, who
pointed to the economy act ban on a
retired service man drawing two SAL
aries from the Government if they
aggregate more than $4,000.
Gen. Glassford is not entitled to
retired pay for non-work days in his
civilian position, but must elect
which form of payment he will re-
ceive," McCarl said in holding up the
voucher for retired pay.
Glassford had similar decision to
make when he served as police chief
here. Then he decided to take the
police chiefs pay, which was almost
double his pension as brigadier gen.
eral.

WHITE HOUSE PHONES JANGLE
WITH 100000 CALLS IN YEAR

The White House telephone and
telegraph switchboard and instru-
ments. now being moved from the
executive Offices to the mansion proper
during a four-month period of alter
alton to the former, are probably
among the busiest in Washington.
During the last year there were
approximately 10000 outgoing tele-
phone calls and more than 100000
incoming calls. More than 100000
kilograms were received and sent on
the White House instruments.
The communications equipment now
is being installed in a basement room
of the White House, which until re-
Gently had been used as a cloak room
for employees. President Grant used
it as billiard room.
First Phone in 1878.
It is recalled that the first telephone
at the White House was installed in
1878, and for a number of years one
telephone was sufficient to meet the
needs of the President and his entire
staff. But business grew and it became
apparent the White House needed
more telephones. and In 1898 an ex-
tension telephone was placed in the
White House. This extension was
located on the desk of the Presidents
secretary. When the President him.
self was called personally to the tele-
phone or wished to make call. it was
necessary for him TO use either the
