Direct from the New Amsterdam
Theater, New York, and the Co.
lonial Theater, Boston. comes "Ro-
berta," the musical comedy which
rounded out a full seasons run in
the former theater, to the National
Theater, beginning Monday, Octo-
ber 30. prior to a transcontinental

PRODUCTION. Among recent contri-
buttons by the former are THE
Show Boat" Cat and the Fiddle"
and Music in the Air." by Harbach;
Rose Marie" mo, No, Nanette,"
1.-The Cat and the Fiddle" kid
Boots" High Jinks,' Madame
Sherry" etc. They have a hundred
outstanding successes to their credit
and have worked together heretofore;
in fact, have frequently been identi-
fed with the musical romance of
this country.
1t may be observed that wherever
the Kern name is prefixed to mu-
sical comedy, there is song in his
scores which catches the public ear;
in Roberta" it is Smoke Gets in
Your Eyes" Since 1t was sung by
Tamara, who is to appear here, it
has swept the dance floors, radio stu
dios and glee clubs of the country.
1t is to Roberta" what the Pill
grim's Chorus" is to 'Tannhauser."
Max Gordon is the producer of
Roberta" Last season he had four
successes running on Broadway. in
Guiding Roberta" produced THE
Cat and the Fiddle" 'Three's a
Crowd" THE Band Wagon" De
sign fer Living" and others, and he
has never had a failure.
Score and libretto have been given
a lavish background of scenic inves-
titure, the company carrying three
baggage cars of sets. The gowns are
by Kiviette.
There is nobody starred in "Ro-
berta." 1t might be termed an all
star cast, which includes in its fem
inine contingent such prominent
people as Tamara, Fay Templeton,
the famous musical comedy star of
this and an earlier generation; Ray
mond Middleton, Marty May, Odette
Myrtil, Bobby Jarvis, Sydney Green
street, Parker Steward the California
Collegians and the ensemble.

Ginger Pearson's first steps in show
business were slightly unsteady. De-
spite her occasional protests she had
been cast to do bit as a baby. This
may have been due to the fact she
was only 2l2 years old, and not quite
ready to play the ingenue. Whatever
the cause, she finally submitted to fate
and toddled along through her part.
Her mother took care of the ingenue

AS Ginger began noticeably to take

her come out of the lace baby caps

next to play little girl parts, which
annoved her somewhat since she was

THESPIAN SOCIETY
PRESENTS TWO PLAYS
Season Opens With 0ne-Act Skits,
Well Played and Di-

1cCLSus
The Thespian Society Of the
Covenant-First Presbyterian Church
opened its Fall season last night with
the presentation of two one-act plays
before an audience which filled every
chair in the little Massachusetts, ave-
nue. chapel.
The members of the Friendship
Protective Sewing Circle and Burial
Society,"" or something of the sort,
captured the glory in the first play,
Evening Clothes" by Zona Gale.
These venerable ladies, portrayed by
Ethel Wakefield, Emily Tate, Irene
Bartlett, Bertha Huber and Helen
Maughlin, finally broke out and wore
the eight shades" though they were
firmly convinced no lady worthy of
the name and gray-haired would be
seen in anything more jaunty than
dark blue or black. The bursting
forth in color wad done at the we'd
ding of Inez and Peter, played by
Dolly Rose and Wilton Colt. Sub
ordinate love interest was supplied
by pretty, raven-haired Armen Bak-

who excellently contributed to the
success of Evening Clothes" included
Vernye Barrett, Raymond Stanley,
Arthur Wise, Samuel Allison. Isaac
Avery, George Rose and John Collier.
The other play, farce, "a Mad
Breakfast" was the hilarious tale of
the events occurring when one Of
the paying guests at Mrs. Simpkins'
boarding house told each of the other
boarders a different story, which they
believed. 1t Is both embarrassing and
funny before the curtain falls. The
cast Of "A Mad Breakfast" included
Emily Davis, Bertha Huber, Irene
Bartlett, Helen Maughlin, Emily Tate,
Vernye Barrett. Arthur Wise, Isaac
Avery, George Rose and Leo Quacken-
bush.
Mrs. R. e. Gawthrop did a good job
Of directing both plays. Excellent
scenery was provided by Alfred Bar
ret. The plays will be repeated to-
night at $50 at the chapel. H. M.

Dear Mr.. M: I read with in

career which you printed in the Sun

interested in one or two additional
items. During the war Benny and I,
along with about 100000 others,
fought and bled for our country at
the Great Lakes Training Station. I
was Just a humble hospital appren-
tice. Benny-well, I doubt if he knew
himself what his rating was, but
he was nominally attached to the sta

was to act as entertainer at the vari-
Gus recreation halls scattered over the
camp-boost the morale, and so on.
And very good job he made OF 1t,

Building on the hospital grounds. The
hall was packed with convalescent
patients, with a good quota of doctors,
nurses and hospital corpsmen. When
the Red Cross director announced that
the next act would be Benny Kubel-
sky and his jazz fiddle there was
big outburst of applause that made me
think that we were in for something
good. Benny came strolling out, with
the same bored, nonchalant manner
that he has today, and looking very
much as he does today except that he
was wearing a sailors uniform, with
a white hat stuck over his starnoard

The moving picture, Mother" pre-

drew large attendance. There was
an added attraction on the program
last night when Martin Kuusisto in
troduced to the audience Robert Lee
Minor, who was one of the three dele
gates from the United States this year
to Russia as guest of the Soviet Trade
Union. Mr.. Minor spoke for nearly
an hour telling of the sad and deplor-
abe conditions in Russia before the
revolution in comparison to the ideal
conditions which are prevalent there
now. His talk was based entirely
upon personal observations gained
when he was there early this summer.
Mr.. Kuusisto showed several news
scenes from conditions in this coun-
try such as the government killing of
cattle, forceful stopping of mortgage
foreclosures, etc. The picture, Moth
err" was presented and depicts Rus
sian life and conditions leading up
to the revolution; accompanied by
explanations by Mr.. Kuusisto.
