A Gay Early Summer Party

An informal tea is the simplest way to entertain large group of people. Once the invitations are in the mail, or the guests invited by telephone, 1t is well to plan an attractive menu, order the sup plies, budget the time and work in. volved, line up assistants and await the day with calm. Prepare as much of the food as possible the day or morning before the tea, and keep someone in the kitchen to refiil tea pots and restock sand wich and cake plates during the serving hours.
 The serving table, the focal point of interest, should be decorative and graceful invitation to a cup of tea, so cover the table with a cleaning damask or soft lace cloth. Place a bowl of roses, and ferns, in the center with pale pink candies in low holders on either side. Then arrange these dainty dishes on the table 50 they balance one another attractively.

PLEASING
 THE MAN
Refrigerator Raids

As a protection against refrigera- tor raids before retiring. or follow ing the long spring evening drives, protect yourself by having ready some insignificant but appetizine little snack that you can offer the man before he thinks of going to the ice box himself. There are any number of tidbits that can be pro- vided at little or no cost. And 1t is a good night gesture which never fails to please.
 In some stores good brand of Norwegian sardines can be found in small tins for as little as seven cents. Have them ready for a quick spread. Remove them from the oil, scrape off the loose skin, if desired, chop them or flake them and mix with lemon juice, a little onion juice and chopped parsley. Put in an air-tight jar and set in the re- frigerator until wanted. Spread on | freshly made toast and serve with a glass of iced tea or cold beer just before retiring. If you think of it. thin slices of hard-boiled egg add much to this tasty canape-sand- wich.
 You'd never thing it, but many men actually like a sandwich made of chopped raw beef. Get the best grade of beef for this, of course. A half or quarter pound will be suf. ficient for the bedtime snack. Miz with 1t little onion chopped al fine as possible, or onion juice will do; add plenty of salt, a few drops of tabasco and little minced pars. ley. Spread on freshly made toast and serve with a glass of beer. This is very healthful night-cap, by the way .. nourishing and good builder.

Helen Hayes In
A New PLAY

Helen Hayes will come to the
National Theater in Washington
for one week beginning Monday
night, in Gilbert Miller's produc-
tion of Victoria Regina"
This will be Miss Hayes first
stage role since Mary of Scot
land" in which she toured the
country last year, following long
New York run the previous season.
Victoria Regina" by Laurence
HouSman, covers the reign Of
Queen Victoria from her accession
to her Golden Jubilee, and the
stars assignment is naturally a
fascinating one, requiring, as it
does, the transition from girlhood
to old age. This is Miss Hayes
third role as a reigning queen;
the first was Cleopatra, in Shaw'S
famous comedy, and the second
was the tragic Scottish queen in
Maxwell Anderson's poetic drama.
Gilbert Miller, who sponsors the
production, is famous for the in
ternational character of his &C.
tivities, and for the distinguished
list of productions which he has
brought to the American public.
In London he owns two theaterS,
the Lyric and the st. James, and
in New York he controls Henry
Miller's Theater. In the past dec
ade he has presented such items
of theater history as Journeys
End" Berkeley Square," "The
Age Of Innocence" "The Swan," ;"
"The Animal Kingdom" "Our Bet
ters," Candle Light" and last
seasons outstanding success, 1.-THE
Petrified Forest"
In Victoria Regina" Miss Hayes
leading man will be Vincent Price,
who will make his American debut
in the role of the Prince Consort.
He played the part in the success

'Mutiny' Opens
Fourth Week

"Mutiny on the Bounty" goes
down in the history of F Street
as one of the few pictures worthy
of a four-weeks' run. Showing
at Loew'S Columbia, this so
called saga of the sea still con-
tinues to draw the crowds.
Undoubtedly one of the 10
best films of 1885, "Mutiny" is a
pictorially perfect account of a
true drama of the sea. M.-G.-M
should next do Pitcairn Island, "
the sequel to the story of the
mutiny.
This reviewer was impressed
most with Charles Laughton'S
masterfuI performance as the re-
pugnant Captain Bligh. Clark
Gable, as the defiant Fletcher
Christian, also gives a fine per
formance.

Fox Offers Myrna Loy-Tracy
In WhipsawF On Screen

That utterly charming and beau
tiful actress, Myrna 10y, returns
to the Fox screen this week in
"Whipsaw," M etr o-Goldwyn'
Mayer production based on mag
azine story by James Edward
Grant.
Our good fortune in having Miss
10y back on the screen is aug
mented by the fact that her reap
pearance is in very good picture.
The present venture, for your en-
tertainment, is a film compounded
of suspense and romance. More
over, it is well plotted and full Of
action.
Miss 10y, whose talent possesses
many facets, is rather restricted in
her present role. That she per-
forms ably goes without saying.
Spencer Tracy, the other star in
this story, carries through bril-
liantly in a difficult role which,
however, is admirably adapted to
his style. Mr.. Tracy, for whose
work I confess a weakness, will be
very pleasing to the Tracy fans in
some of the delicate situations In
which the picture places him.
Plot Is Complicated
To give even the briefest outline
of the complicated plot of this
opus would run into great space.
1t begins in London, carries on in
New York, st. Louis and other
points West and South.
The ideas behind this COM
plicated framework are novel and
we'll worked out. In spite Of the
many ramificationS of the plot 1t
fits together like a jigsaw puzzle
at the end. The ending, by the
way, is in a hospital room. The
story certainly takes you around.
In addition to the two stars
mentioned, the cast contains
many Hollywood notables. Harvey
Stephens, William Harrigian,
Clay Clement and Robert Gleckler
do excellent work in their respec'
tive characterizations. Sam Wood
was the director.

Duke Ellington on Stage
On the stage that sepia master
of jazz, Duke Ellington, presents
his noted orchestra. The opening

ing that fits this feature and will
give the appreciative souls of the
audience a thrill.
For those who like their
rhythm hot and fast, Duke Filing
ton offers a dish with all the
trimmings in arrangements that
are varied and novel. Outstanding
hits with audience were his pre-
