CHURCH CLUB OFFERS
"ROSE OF THE PRAIRIE"
Immaculate Conception Opera
Players Club Is Directed by
Harry Wheaton Howard

THE presentation last night of Harry
- Wheaton Howards musical COM
edy, Rose of the Prairie" most recent
effort of the Opera Players Club of
the Immaculate Conception Church,
supplied an eager gathering in the
parish hall with a not-so-rip-snorting
version of the Golden West Coyote,
Ariz., to be exact, chock full of lifting
ditties, tableaux, cowboys and seno-
ritaS.
OF the dozens of the cast which
crowded a limited stage, there were,
perhaps, three voices which are worthy
of mention-that of Gladys Hartz, in
the lead role of Rose; John Sherman
as the modest hero of more or less
hackneyed plot. and John C. Quigley,
the misused Latin American troubador,
AleSandro. While Rose" and "Ales-
sandro, as singers, lack the requisite
volume, their tone quality and enun-
citation is agreeable-John Sherman
more nearly approaches the happy
medium of the two.
Vocal chorus work and the several
dances Qed by rather vivacious Myrtle
O'Connor, formed a substantial back
ground throughout, while the comedy
bits, furnished principally by Cath
arine Ryan, George Yocum and Rich
ard Townsend, drew the majority of
titters from the house.
Credit is also due the Misses Hartz
and Ryan for their steadying influence
on the acting of, generally frightened
and uncertain cast. Robert Cartwright
was acceptable playing the part Of
Richard, philandering Cellini of the
mesas, who has penchant for indis-
criminately awarding engagement
rings to young ladies.
Whoever painted the scenery de-
serves a few compliments, and the
orchestral support (string trio) under
Producer Howard was likewise favor
able.
The show will go on at 8:15 pm.

ducers can toss it out by the scoopful,
but that Is Minnelli's experience.
Something has to be cast aside to get
people out Of the theater In time
for the second events CT the nights
schedule.
The amount to be sacrificed, let 1t
be said, is not so much as seems to
be the case at the moment. "The
Show Is On is huge production, and
until 1t gets to the Winter Garden
stage in New York, 1t is going to be
slowed down by the fact that 1t spills
over the edges Of most platforms on
which it plays. The National
Theater's stage is a large one, but
hardly of size to accommodate a
revue cut originally to the speciflca-
tions of the Winter Garden. Up
there, the thing will move faster
by virtue of the fact that it will have
more space in which to move.
In spite of this, however, Mr.. Min
nelh will have to spill something
or have the double-date walking out
before he can get his final curtain
down. Good as Is his show, it must
end sometime, and no one knows that
better than the young man whose
first venture as impressario is headed
for such apparent success.
y X X
TIME and events are going to help
him to some extent The
"Titania" skit, based upon the British
royal romance, probably will be
thrown out by developments in Eng
land; this very day perhaps. De-
pending upon how one looks at it,
the good. taste Of the production
might be benefited by what happens
In London in the next few hours.
Audiences, if they do not show
more enthusiasm. may dispose of
Reginald GARDENERS burlesque of a
famous symphony conductor. 1t would
be dirty trick on those who never
have seen Gardiner in this, one Of
his finest satirical bits. But Gardiner
has done it before, on the stage and
in the movies, and while it got a
huge hand here opening night, some
persons apparently regard it as less
laughable a second time.
1t is impossible to think that any
thing of Beatrice Lilies might be
discarded. Miss Lille could be on
the stage all evening without annoy
ing a single soul except, perhaps,
Miss Lille.
OF Bert Lahr's skits, the Taxes,
Taxes" interlude which pits a rich
movie star against the Federal Gov
ernment on tax rebate issue, might
be lost with the least sad effect upon
the worlds laughter It Is funny, but
most of the amateurs helping Mr..
Minnelli to get his show timed
properly seem willing to let it go.

T%HE House Of Mercy benefit con-
cert given yesterday afternoon
at the Shoreham Hotel intro
u duced a new baritone to Wash
ington in the person Of Thomas l..
Thomas. Sharing the program with
him was Kurt Hetzel, pianist, who
won the audience with his fine play
ing Of his own arrangement Of the
Magic Fire" music from Wagner,s
'Valkyrie" and "Brangaena's Warn
ing" and "Isolde's Love Death" from
Tristan and Isolde"
Mr.. Thomas, who has had consid-
cradle concert and operate expert
ence, gave as his first number Eugene
Diaz's "Benvenuto." His voice is q
large and resonant one and needs a
larger hall than the Shoreham ball
room to allow just estimate of its
full capabilities. Discounting the
hampering size of the room, his sing
ing mas the qualities that should guar
antee him success in whatever branch
of the professional field he may choose
as a speciality. He has wide range
and great power that he understands
how to handle while the natural ex-
pressive quality is made more effective
through intelligently directed feeling.
One felt this particularly in the
final group Of songs. which included
the old Welsh air. '.Dafyda y Gareg
Wen," Coats sea Rapture" McGim-
sey's Sweet Lii Jesus Boy" and wolfe's
de Glory Road" The old Welsh
air and the Negro Spiritual were given
with exquisite sentiment, the spiritual
being especially moving from the ten
der and simple way in which he sang
it. More to be commended than his
vocal gift or musical feeling Is his
ability to put into the tonal color
the exact equivalent of the words.
His excellent accompanist was Nathan
Price.
Mr.. Hetzel gave a Chopin "Pre-
Evening star., 1936-12-10

Is On" grant grudgingly that '"The
Show Goes On" sung near the flnal
curtain might be dropped with fewer
repercussions than any other. That
the show goes on begins to get pretty
obvious by that time Of evening,
anyhow.
These thoughts, bruited back and
forth through the night, may be Of no
help to Mr.. Minnelli, but they satisfy
something in the psychic makeup
of their authors.
TODAY is Marsha Hunt day in local

"YELL0W JACK" PLAYED
BY GEORGETOWN CLUB
DwREsENTING its initial ena

y EPRESENTING its initial enact
ment upon a local stage, yellow
jack" episode account of Maj. Wal
ter Reeds experiments In Cuba, was
presented last evening by the Mask
and Bauble Club Of Georgetown
University. Inspired by q chapter
on the near-legendary Army physi-
clan in Paul de Kruif's book. "Microbe
Hunters" this drama authored by
Sidney Howard follows a retrogressive
course for three scenes, then assumes
chronological pattern. recounting the
hopes and disappointments of Reed
and associates.
Proceeding without intermission
through a succession Of short scenes
separated only by black-outS, the opus
presented an ambitious task for Di-
rector William E. Shea, and, although
moving somewhat less smoothly than
might have been desired drumming
about 20 minutes over standard time
for the piece, and with characterize
tions losing their force at intervals,
the Georgetown groups production
furnished an interesting and enter
tanning evening not unmarked by
hiStrionic merit. The curtain opened
on a rather wooden enactment Of
recent chapter in the continuing fight
on yellow fever, but momentum was
gained as action reverted to expert
ments in West Africa, thence to the
Caribbean isle. Following the origi-
nal 10 Mielziner creations, stage set
tings were of stark simplicity with
effect being gained rather than lost
thereby.
A cast of imposing proportions found
Frank Miller shouldering the princi-
pal acting burden in the role of WAL
ter Reed and offering q restrained
though plausible delineation. Danial
O'Donovan displayed the most en-
thusiasm for his work as Carroll, out
spoken Reed associate, while com.
parably meritorious efforts were con-
tribluted by Alfred Boylan, playing
the Cuban co-worker, and Myles Nc
Cahill. the other doctor, whose death
proved q scientific waste. Additional
worthy INNINGS were those of James
A. Foley, I'd, as the voluble O'Hara,
one Of the volunteer human guinea
pigs; Matthew McDermott, william
Driscoll and Nicholas Joost.

 The feminine pulchritude is fur ther enhanced by the addition of the Fanchon and Marco Sunkist Beauties and one of their numbers "The Walking Ball" scene, which thrilled Broadway for weeks will prove a sensation here.

 Heading the list is Jack Benny, re- gently acclaimed by America in its own poll of radio favorites as among the top notchers. Jack is not new conner to the movies, having scored several hits in the past. He carries the role of radio station caster in "The Big Broadcast of 1887, sinsilar to the one he played in another radio film last year. A close second to Benny in the ranks of popularity are the inimit- able George Burns and Oracle Allen. This pair also are not new to the movies, having appeared in Paramount short subjects before they were on the air, having come to Hollywood via the vaudeville route. They also were starred in other big pictures, notably 'The Big Broadcast of 1936," by the same producers, last year.
 Fob Burns, "Bazooka" virtuoso and spinner of homespun philosophy, comes to the screen for the second time in "The Big Broadcast of 19S7," ]" after having scored hit in feat ured rol he was given in Rhythm on the Range" with Bing Crosby. Burns has skyrocketed to fame over the radio waves with the past year. With him Is Martha Rove, the vi- vacious youngster who appeared with him and Crosby in ''The Music Hall of the Air" She, too, went to fame in her first motion picture effort Rhythm on the Range. Others include Benny Goodman and his Swing orchestra, Benny Fields, Frank Forest, famed con- cert singer, Stan Kavanaugh, inter- nationally famous juggler, and a host of others. The companion fea- ture be Down the Stretch, a rous- ing story of the race tracks in which some interesting information on "why the favorites do not always win," is revealed.
