AGELESS FANNY WARD on STAGE AGAIN
Veteran Trouper, 81,
In Actors Fund Show
Tomorrow Night

Perennially as young and fresh
as spring itself, the one and only
Fanny Ward is headed here to
tread a Washington stage once
again.
The 62-year-old actress, whose
Immortality in the American
scene daily becomes less g. legend
than a fact, comes to do her part
for the Actors Benefit Fund
show at the National tomorrow
night.
And cher part" says her first
manager. Daniel Frohman, now
at "a the guiding genius of to-
morrow nights production, will
be ample. Fanny will roll them
in the aisles, you may be sure.
She always has.
Stage elf of the elegant eighties,
grandmother of nobility, ira
ditional trouper-that is Fanny
Ward. Life has been for this re-
markable woman a heady wine,
which only one of Fanny'S tenn
permanent could SAVIOR.
Her Fame Permanent
Her name in the history Of the
American theater is synonymous
with all that is permanently
famous. 1t has always been so
since Mr.. Frohmap gave her her
first part as an understudy to
the great Elsie Leslie, in Mark
Twain's Prince and the Pauper. :"
This was, Mr.. Frohman says,
shortly after Washington crossed
the Delaware"

VIEWS ON 5-DAY.
WEEK SOUGHT
BY BABCOCK
By DUNCAN FORSYTH


Government employees have been
asked by E. Claude Babcock, preSi-
dent of the American Federation Of
Government Employees, to express
their views as to whether they
prefer a five-day week or a six
day week if the number OF hours
are the same.
He expects this question soon
to be one of considerable impor-
tance because in at least three
recent decisions by the Comp
troller General implied consent,
at least, has been given to admins
trative action closing an office on
Saturday without penalty in the
form of salary reduction to per
annum workers.
These were the decisions in the
cases Of the Navy Department,
Government Printing Office, and
Bureau of Engraving. Per annum
employees suffer no wage reduc-
tions if offices are closed on Sat-
urdays because of the application
of the five-day week to employees
whose pay is fixed by wage boards,
a result of the Thomas amend
ment.
Saturday Closing Possible
Mr.. Babcock's request that
members of his organization
express their views on the subject
is advanced with the idea that, II
the employees would rather work
eight hours daily from Monday
through Thursday and seven hours
Friday-a regulation 39-hour
week-the Federation would work
for an Executive order closing all
the per annum offices on Satur-
day. He said:
81 do not think it would be
far-fetched at all for the PreSi-
dent to decide that it is admins
trativdy necessary to close the
Government offices on Satur-
day in order to furnish a good
example to industry in line with
the Presidents recommendation
to industry for the shorter work
week.
"After this became a fact, then
we might work for a shortened
work day"
Navy Yard and Government
Printing Office employees generally
benefited from the adoption of the
Thomas amendment, for most of
them obtain a five-day week from
it, even though not all are in the
wage-board group.

It is almost grotesque to note
that Fanny played to packed
houses and high tops" when
Sheridan's School for Scandal"
and Goldsmith's "She Stoops to
Conquer" were something beyond
presentations by the graduating
class of the local high school.
hes Happily Married
For years she trouped in vaude-
vile. She played in England, and
there met Jack Dean. They have
been happily married for years.
Their daughter, the present Lady
Plunkett, has two sons, whose
godfather is Edward Windsor,
Prince of Wales.
Fanny hasn't given a thought
to what she'll do when she ap-
pears on the stage at the National
tomorrow night. The routine,
given in her inimitable Staccato
style, with the quick, nervous
gestures, will be adequate. Fanny
is interesting, no matter what she
says.
To be perfectly truthful, Fanny
is none too we'll just now. Sixty
two is 81, you know, and is bound
to show on a girl in more ways
than wrinkles on her hands. But
will she let Daniel Frohman

G1ldI WCIc laying III CfCLy dVdh-
able place in town. DR.. and Mrs.
Hunter MCGUIRE gave a delight
ful supper party at 8 o'clock to
which all the socially prominent
people of Winchester were in
vited. We hated to leave this
lovely entertainment but we
had to hurry off to reception
at Mr.. and Mrs. Sandy Bakers
beautiful house where the
Queen received her court and
the princeSSeS. There were
lovely girls and many handsome
young men from Winchester
and the surrounding countries.
The many cadets in town for the
parade attended this party.
After the reception there was
dancing in this lovely old house,
which had been decorated in
pink and green for the occasion.
FavorS were given with the
queens name on them. Soon
after II o'clock this party ended
and everyone went to the golf
club where a large dance was in
progress. This party lasted long
into the early morning.
Although skies were cloudy on
Friday morning there was no
rain, so all plans were carried
out for that day, (the last day
Of the Apple Blossom FestivaD.
At II o'clock the pageant at
Handley School Stadium, Spirit
Of the Years." was a beautiful
sight. This pageant will be held
again this afternoon.
A luncheon to the Queen and
her court was given at Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Russell's and in the
afternoon the sun had begun to
shine and the grand feature
parade started through the
streets of Winchester.
This parade was the most
wonderful they have ever had
there, so those say who have
seen them all. After the offic-
ials, high up on a white float,
came the Queen, Mrs. John Hay
Whitney, looking regal and
beautiful in her queenly attire.
The float was drawn by four
splendid looking grey, heavy
draft horses that had been sent
over from Llangollen Farm for
this purpose. With the Queen
on her float were her maids Of
honor and three little maids.
The Queen, who smiled and
bowed graciously to the crowds
applauding her all along the
way, was followed by two floats
with the 20 beautiful princesses.
Then for hours we watched the
gorgeous floats go by. The IA
nous Troop /, 3rd U. S. Cavalry,
escorted the Queen. I could
write for days of the lovely
floats but from the enormous
crowds estimated at 100000,
most Of you must have been
there. It was a sight we'll worth
seeing.
Mr.. ana MRS. mccormick
gave a tea after the parade, at
their palatial home. Delightful
music and dancing on the lawn,
where canvas had been
stretched made a wonderful set
ting for the Queen, her court
and the colorful crowd of pretty
girls and gay young men. At
night the Queens ball at Shen-
andoah Valley Academy. and
another ball at the Golf Club
finished this more than brilliant
two days of entertainment.

Has Feathered Visitors

Former Postmaster General and
Mrs. Harry S. New had as their
guest" last week fox sparrow. who
arrived at Hemlock Hedge, their home

tall trees for several days. This mem
Der of the sparrow family is seldom

turned to their old homes at Hemlock
Hedge, and sang his lay. Mr.. Fox
Sparrow is larger than his cousins
English and has a russell coat with a
vest of white with stripes like rays
from the center, in the brown color.
He also is more cultivated than his
cousins from overseas and is a charm
ing singer.
Mr.. and Mrs New, since their re-
tirement from official circles in Wash
ington. have made the grounds Of
their charming suburban home pop
ular rendezvous for many varieties of
birds. and each morning and after
noon Mr. New feeds and talks" with
his feathered friends under the giant
trees.
The early Spring flowers, crocus,
hyacinth and forsythia, are begin
ming to appear at Hemlock Hedge,
ready for the first day of Spring,
Wednesday, March 81. Mr.. and Mrs.
New were absent from Washington for
