'Queen! !sGambit'
To Be Repeated

1.-The Chevy Chase Theater" is
the official name for the group
formerly known as THE Washing
ton Summer Theater Group. This
statement issued by its directors,
Elizabeth Sypher, Margaret Yard
and Charles Turner, announced
that the theater is located two
blocks beyond the Chevy Chase
Country Club at Mrs. Farrington's
Chevy Chase School. The school
is noted for its extensive lawns
and handsome gardens, and is
thought the ideal location for a
summer theater.
The Queens Gambit," the
witty satire that so entertained its
audiences at it's private showings
at the Arts Club, will be the first
production of the season. Most of
the original cast will appear again
in it and Hugo linden will again
design and execute the settings.
This is being given in response 70
the many requests for public show
ings of this sensational play.

zone Girls Mistake" film for
men only, is current at the Gayety
accompanied by a lecturer with
living models. AS far as the pic
ture is concerned, there is no rea'
son on earth why it couldn't be
shown to mixed audiences.
It deals with the mistakes of an
uninformed girl and follows her
misadventures through several ter.
ribly photographed reels, to her
suicide at the end.
The picture gets off to bad
start. The settings are rather
poor, as movies go these days. But
despite it's flaws, the film offers
several incidents of real dramatic
intensity.
The lecture, which is the reason
why the Men Only" sign is up
is well done. The lecturer knows
his subject and manages to keep
his audience interested through a
rather long talk.
The living moGsels, used to illus
trate various types of feminine
beauty, are seen but briefly. They
are rather good looking.-R. S.
