RESS DAVIS SCHREINER says:
Maxwell Anderson's "Winterset"
was the sixth and final play for the
present season offered for Washington
theatergoers by the American Theater
Society at the National Theater here;
and it marks the closing Of the best
season of plays ever offered by the
society-a season that has attracted
near-capacity audiences and a tre-
mendous interest in the plays to be
given in 1936-37, for which subscrip-
tions and reservations are already
coming in with unprecedented rapidity.
During the American Theater So
ciety's season here the Theater Guild
plays were Call 1t Day" with Philip
Merrivale and Gladys Cooper, which
is running merrily in New York City;
"Porgy and Bess," and Idiots De-
light" with the Lunts-both OF which
are causing tremendous excitement on
Broadway and will continue indefl-
nitely, it would appear
The three plays by other important
producers, which the American The
ater Society offered us have been Lee
Ephraim's Sweet Aloes," with Evelyn
Laye, and George M. Cohan's Dear
Old Darling" both of which were sue
cessful here, and the prize play of
the present season, ''Winterset."
The directors Of the American The
ater Society in New York are already
considering next seasons plays for
Washington, among which, it is ru-
mored, may be two big successes OF
the present Theater Guild season
there, THE End of Summer" with
Ina Claire and Osgood Perkins, and
Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne in
Shakespeare's THE Tanning of the
Shrew"-played as probably the Bard
Of Avon himself might have directed
it. (That is, if idiots Delight" ever
ends.)
Again next season here there will
be three Theater Guild plays and
three outstanding New York hits by
other producers included in the sub
scription season, for which there al
ready is a large number Of requests
for reservations-more than ever be-
fore in the history Of the American
Theater Society.
Hence-and a word to the wise
should be sufncient-regular subscrib-
er5 are urged not to delay In making
their next Winters reservations.

EVANSTON. H., May 9.-Most
children should not have their first
lessons in reading until they are
or even 8 years old. DR.. David Ko-
pei of Northwestern University told
the meeting of the Midwestern
Psychological Association here.
To prevent cases of reading de-
f1ciency common among children in
the schools today. Dr. Kopel urged
that the intricate process of in
struction in reading" be delayed I'M
til children's background of expe-
Renee and mental growth enables
them to find meaning in the read
ing and until they are physiologic-
ally sufficiently developed so that
they no longer confuse such letters
as p and O., or b and d.
Some children are ready to learn
to read when they enter the first
grade. or even earlier, and these will
turn to the reading spontaneously.
joyfully and successfully, DR.. Kopel
said.
These children are really ready
to read" he said. Reading makes
a natural and pleasant contribution
to their maximum growth and ex-
perience."
Others who are not yet old enough
to profit from or enjoy reading are
thought to account for the 20 to
40 per cent of first-grade children
who fail almost wholly due to de-
ficiencies in reading"
