ST, STEPHENS PLAYERS
ENERGETIC IN COMEDY
Some Acting Honors Gained In
Play "It Happened in
Hollywood"

A MOTHER case Of mistaken iden-
tity managed to unravel itself
last night at st. Stephens School,
where the st. Stephens Players pre-
sented a three-act comedy entitled
1T Happened in Hollywood" The
plav is indeed well named. for no
where else on earth could such an in
credible melee be imagined.
The plot concerns itself with q
princess who runs away from a mar
riage of state. the prince who follows
ner, a civil engineer who has movie
aspirations, together with his press
agent. and scatter Drained female.
who somehow brings order out of this
chaos.
Somehow this ill-assorted crew find
themselves all under the same roof,
masouerading in guises of their oppo-
sites, and it Is only after many COM
plications that the double wedding
bells manage TO sound in the distance.
William c. Mccarthy, sailing along
on pure bluff, as all press agents must
captured the acting honors, as he was
clearly the most at ease on the stage.
This was delight, in contrast to many
of the nervous gestures on the part OF
some of the other principals.
Too forceful enunciation on the
part of the leading lady detracted
somewhat from the charm with which
this character should have won her
audience. Perhaps her over-enthu-
siasm tor the slang conversation she
necessarily introduced was RESPONSE
BILE for her emphasis on delivery.
Princess Dolores may be compli-
mented on her striking appearance in
the third act. Her entry in a red
dinner gown makes it apparent why
the prince fell for her, even while she
was masquerading as a servant. An
other gown, worn by the daughter OF
the house, is also most effective.
Another representative of the fourth
estate carries away acting honors Tor
the feminine halt of the players. She
is Christine L. Thayer. reporter on
a Hollywood scandal sheet. Though
she does not always get her facts
straight, her delightful Southern ac-
cent never fails to sound forth, even
in blase Hollywood.
Jarvis, the bewhiskered butler. In
the presence of royalty, both real and
assumed, is one of the best features
of the show. Though no credit Is
given for the effective scenery. it looks
as though the players have the assist
ance of a good carpentry shop.

Music Merit
In Chamber
Is Achieved
Attractive Concert t
Given at Phillips
Gallery.
RY ALICE EVERSMAN.

THE enjoyment of music purely for
its own sake has grown to be a
rarity in the busy musical seasons OF
this city. Great names, whether OF
soloists or organizations, have been
the chief drawing power OF many O.
our concerts. 1t is. therefore. douoly
pleasant to know of the continuance
of the Candlelight Concerts which the
Washington Chamber Music Society
specializes in and which have become
among the most delightful hours OF
music of the Winter season, when one
can relax in charming surroundings
and listen to the sweet strains the
master musicians conceived without
the tension that usually attends
celebrated artists appearance.
Yesterday at the Phillips Memorial
Gallery, the first concert OF TINS
year was given by the society, the
personnel of which comprises Bernard
Robbins and Jeno Sevely, VlollnS'
Hendrix Essers. viola. and Sidney Ha-
mer, cellist. The quartet, known as
the Pro-Musica Quartet. was assisted
by Helen Stover. soprano, OF New
York, in one number, the beautiful

tet was Beethoven's quartet. op. 18,
! No. 3 in D major" which was FOL-
lowed by an arrangement Of Debussy S

and Haydn's Riders" The work OF
the quartet is distinguished by purity
of tone and musical understanding
which further playing together should
smooth out into an excellent ensem-
BILE.
Respighis setting to free trans
lation of Shelley's poem, THE Sun
set" was an exquisite mingling OF
verse and music in subdued atmos-
phere, relieved at moments by an out
burst OF the drama which is embodied
in the poem. Nine. Slower gave the
difficult musical setting with sureness
and comprehension. ably assisted by
the quartet. Her voice would be heard
to better advantage in larger hall,
as its resonant color was not so eX-
pertly adjusted as might have been
to the combined needs Of the inter-
pretation and the environment.
A large audience. attentive and re-
sponsive, proved that the appeal of
such delightful concerts is sufficiently
great to attract music lovers in large
numbers.
The Washington Chamber Music
Society will give four more concerts at
the Phillips Memorial Gallery, the
dates being January 6. February 3,
March and April 6.

STULL DISCUSSES

Guilty Arises Over Meaning

The Progressive Citizens Associa-

night by Harry N. Stull, recently
elected vice president of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, who
discussed communism in relation to
the District public schools.
There seems to be general agree
ment that teachers shall not advo-
cate communism in the schools, he
said, but difficulty arises over the
meaning of the word teach in the
School Boards recent ruling. AS long
as teaching" communism simply
means presenting the facts in an
impartial manner. there is no need
for getting excited, he added.
The association also was addressed
by Mrs. E. G. Montgomery, chairman
of radio activities for the Red Cross

vention.

Irish brogue would have Stumped any
one less courageous.
1t hasn't stumped the Blackfriars,
though. They jump into their work
with vim and vigor and play tl.eir
roles right up to the hilt. They rip
out their pungent Irish lines with en-
thusiasm and in a tongue that fairly
breathes old Erin itself. Maybe in one
or two instances some of them bear
TOO much on a sort OF rising sing
song that becomes monotonous, but
that is. after all a small point. The
main thing is they sound real.
