WRITER CHAPMAN is
SUBJECT OF LECTURE
Shakespeare Society Also Treated
to Scenes From Play,
Cali Fools"

George Chapman, as q writer OF
comedy, never has been quite fully
understood nor appreciated, Prof.
Thomas M. Parrot of Princeton Uni
versity, told the Shakespeare Society
of Washington last night at its May
meeting in Whitby Hall, Cathedral
School.
Prof. Parrot cited several Of Chap
mans plays to show how ne deyel-
oped his theatrically effective comedy.
and pointed out that certain sense
of the comic sensation is found in his
work, especially in "All Fools" He
also spoke of the note Of cynicism
which Is found in some of Chapman's
work, particularly in widows Tears.
Chapman, Prof. Parrott said, had
the ability to characterize, partlcu-
larly as to bringing out the humor
in a characters lines. He had also
the tendency to explore new avenues
and the ability to manipulate the
Elizabethan drama.
Following Prof. PARROTS talk,
scenes from "All Fools" Chapman's
merry comedy of a pair of fathers
and their troubles with their sons
love affairs, were presented. EXCERPTS
from the play were included in the
well-staged tabloid version.
A. L. Diket and Martin Haven, as
the two fathers concerned, seemed
to present the most effective perform

including Natalie White, Geraldine

Imagine my amaZement TO discover
that the much-talked Of Iowa accent
isn't any great problem to directors
IN Hollywood at all Most of them
won't even admit they are aware OF
it. Is this honesty or camouf1age?
Here are a few of the opinions:
Roy William Neill. director at Co.
lumbia Studio: There is nasal
method Of talking that is known in
the studios as Iowan. This accent
was heard much oftener five years
ago than it is now. Accents in general
have become unified through the
medium of the talking film. A person
who has the habit of pronouncing
word incorrectly will automatically
pronounce it correctly after he has
heard it said properly a number of
times. This is where the talking fllm
has done such good work throughout
the country"
Joe E. Brown says: I'VE Ohioans in
general don't have a diction that
marks us distinctly from the rest OF
the country. Yet, so far as I can
tell, we talk about the same as people
from Iowa, Kansas or Nebraska. It's
kind OF silly TO say tnat people from
any certain section. like Iowa, have
a funny kind of language.
i've heard oxford and Cambridge
graduates who spoke with such thick
English that l didn't know what they
were talking about, but these were
exceptional cases"
John Cromwell, R. K. o. director:
"I am in perfect accord with those
people who criticize the harsh voices
and pronunciation of the Iowa people,
but-Iowa people do not stand alone.
Harsh voices and faulty pronuncia-
ton exist in every State in the Union.
Iowa is no worse than Vermont, Maine.
Minnesota or any other State The
reason for it all lies in the American
schools, where people are not taught
to speak properly. You can turn to

CONCERT ENDS
SEASONS YORK
Last of Chamber Music
Recitals Ciren at Phillips
Gallery Yesterday.
BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

The charmingly arranged candle
light concerts Of the Washington
Chamber Music Society concluded yes
terday afternoon at the Phillips
Memorial Gallery. Helen Heinl,
pianist, and Sylvia Meyer, harpist,
we're the assisting artists and were
the means of making this concert the
most brilliant In the series given by
the society.
The members Of this chamber music
group were heard alone in Mozart's
"Rondo" and Mendelssohn's "Scher-
TO-" AS an ensemble the players are
sincere. careful musicians, who bring
the evidence Of thoughtfulness and
musical intention to all their inter-
pretations. With such foundation
and a greater development of person.
ality and authoritativeness in their
work, they may soon rank as one of
the best groups. for their renditions
at all times contain the elements
that hold the interest of the listeners.
The beautiful Brahms Quintet In
F Minor" offered Mrs Heinl a special
medium for the display of her fine
intuition, as well as the pianistic
control which has long been her
identifying characteristic. The in
dividual movements Of this quintet
contain each its own atmospheric
color which is Brahms at his best.
Poetic in the extreme and written
with unusual positivenesS, it ranges
through a variety of moods with a
definite objective that gives the audi
tor much to think about long after
the musical strains are ended.
With Mrs. Heinl as artistic guide,
the string ensemble united with her
in q reading that took into account
the personal traits of the composer as
incorporated in this work and the
proper musical nuance that made them
comprehensive Mrs. Heinl is an
artist for whom tone color is a
means to an end and her expert
presentation was a pleasure to hear.
The final number of the program
was Debussy's "Danse Sacre" and
"Danse Profane," with Sylvia Meyer
making the fifth member of the en-
semble. Miss Meyers playing reveals
the wide possibilities of the harp as
an interpretative instrument, and her
technical proficiency is so finely de-
veloped that the mechanical side is
lost sight Of in the greater musical
idea conveyed. She is richly gifted
with temperament and brilliancy
which focuses the attention imme-
diately. There was, perhaps, a too
great use Of this temperamental ap-
proach for the music of Debussy.
which allowed little opportunity for
that delightful immersion in the alb
Stract which is the particular power
OF Debussy's music. The artists were
acclaimed long and enthusiastically
and the large audience was loath to
leave.

LOCAL SINGERS IN
OPERA PRESENTATION
Estelle Wentworth's Group Heard
at Roosevelt High School
Last Evening.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN


The first of the two performances
scheduled by the Estelle Wentworth
opera group took place last evening
at Roosevelt High School auditorium
The operas given were Gilbert and
sullivan's Trial by Jury" and Mas
cagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana."
The most interesting part OF both
performances was the gain in vocal
skill and dramatic power shown by
the singers. Both performances moved
with spirit and smoothness in a scenic
setting both appropriate and sum-
cient and the cast, to each member
OF the chorus, was fully alive to what
was required and did his part with
complete concentration. This group
is steadily rising from the amateur
status to that of a professional one,
both as to the quality OF the vocal
work and the stage reportment.
The leading tenor roles of both the
sTrial by Jury" and "Cavalleria" were
taken by Ray Baine, whose voice has
grown in volume and color. Anna
Harris as the plaintiff" in the first
opera and Mildred Sherman as San
tuzza were excellently cast and gave
authoritative portrayals of the char
acters intrusted to them. The t1ne
acting ability Of Ira Meyer was again
demonstrated in the parts of the
Judge and Alto, in which role he also
gave competent vocal Interpretation.
Thomas Zepp, Walter Perry and
Harry Yeide in the first opera and
Margaret Horn and Mary Bruton in
"Cavalleria" handled the lesser roles
efficiently. A large chorus sang and
acted with intelligent understanding
and real personal enjoyment. Tonight
the soprano role of the plaintiff in
Trial by Jury" will be taken by Mar
saret Horn and that Of Santuzza by
Alma Harris, with Alice Deckman
singing the part Of Lola.

LECTURE.RECITAL.

Sade c. Styron's third and final lee
ture-recital took place at the Arts
Club Saturday afternoon, and afforded
musicians and laymen keen delight
The subject, John Sebastine Bach, a
Travelogue," proved particularly op-
perfume, as this anniversary year has
been responsible for much belated
delving into historical "reminiscences.
With Miss Styron the audience
"toured" the towns Of Bach's activities
from his birthplace, Eisenach, to the
Leipzig Of his final n years. Slides of
rare charm and authenticity enabled
one to check usually as well as men
tally the journeys stages. These, with
the charm of Bach's works upon her
old clavichord, proved Miss Styron's
gift for vvifying and Illuminating
musical history.
The programs musical illustrations
included numbers from the Fifth
French Suite" and ended with the
italian Concerto" arranged for two
pianos by Harold Bauer to reproduce
the effect obtained upon a two-man-
ual harpsichord for which Bach wrote
it. Mrs. Warren Grimes was Miss
Styron's assistant at the second piano.

The bishops fondness for these
magazines, his facility in reading
fingerprints and closing in upon clues,
his dapper little snuff box, and his
sister, Lady Emily Lyon (Adelaide
Hibbard) who could switch off lights
when called upon and plunge mis-
creants helplessly into the dark-were
the reasons why last nights audience
enjoyed itself as it did. A play with
only the smallest kind of structure,
and a plot that is told almost before
1t is begun, the comedy nevertheless
was distinctly worth retelling and one
to which these players accustomed
themselves very well.
Forrest Orr, but for a tendency to
do a little overtime hemming-and-
having, last night brought to the role
of the Bishop of Broadminster the
genial rotundity that belonged to him.
In his black coat and turned about
collar, he was a droll and amiable
Pickwickian character, solving the
jewel mystery with dispatch and good
humor and keeping the criminals
dancing up and down in front of him
with amazing nonchalance and un-
clerical ey-nonny-nonny.
Another pleasant surprise was the
appearance of Edwina Wise in full
time role. While Miss Wise may not
honestly yet be set down as a full
bloom actress, she has one Of the
most promising profiles on the market,
and if she will keep at this business
of play-acting we imagine that great
things will come of it.
The other players fell into larger
and smaller assignments with custom
ary good will. Ruth Lee went a
trif1e wrong on some sort of bulldog
accent, and Roy Roberts didn't have
much as the Meadows of the case.
But Mrs. Hibbard was splendid as the
bishops assistant, and Karl Nelson
held that piece of steak over his
wounded eye as though he really
meant it.
