DRAMA OF PIONEERING
GIVEN BY ARTS CLUB

EIFTY-FOUR years and a number
of miles of American pioneering

Idaho, 1875 to 1920 were reviewed
last night as the Arts Club opened its
new dramatic season with Talbot Jen-
nings' mo More Frontier"
Mr.. Jennings play is not exactly
the American 'Cavalcade' it has
been called, but it is an interesting de-
failing of the movement of the Ma
tion's frontier westward. On numerous
occasions it boasts of considerable
drama, for instance in the scene where
a cattle rancher, driven from his land
by the Government. which plans to
use his ranch as reservoir, uses prac-
tically the same words as were used by
the old Indian chief he drove from the
same land 80 years before.
mo More Frontier" probably Is the
most ambitious attempt yet made on
the tiny stage of the Arts Clubs inti-
mate theater, and the stage crew, un-
der the guidance of Lila La Garde
and George Herl, are the heroes Of the
occasion. They have to deal with a
prologue and eight scenes in three
acts, and they have kept intermission
waits at a pleasant minimum. consid-
ering the scenic problems.
Wilma Wright Flood has some fine
moments and, more than any other
member of the cast, seems to have a
feeling for what she is doing. Dorothy
Winchcole does a minor role skillfully.

HOWARD PLAY CHOSEN

"YELLow JACK" by Sidney How
ard and Paul de Kruif. will be
presented in Washington for the first
time, December 10, at CASTOR Hall Of
Georgetown University, by the Mask
and Bauble Club of the school.
The play is the story of Walter
Reeds long fight to isolate the yellow
fever microbe and find a cure for the
disease. The body of the play deals
with the heroism Of the four American
soldiers who volunteered. in the inter-
ests of humanity, to prove Reeds
theory that yellow fever was carried
from man to man by a mosquito.

WashingtonFarB Behind
New England in Aid
To Young Citizens

Washington might deserve the
name of a "city of trees" or of
a "city of wide streets and ave-
nueS" for in these qualities it leads
the nation, but in more vital
phase of a city's life, it trails far
behind other municipalities.
Even with the erection of the
new building of the Boys Club of
Washington at Seventeenth and
Massachusetts Ave. S. E., the neg
lect with which this city's boy
hood has been treated, will be
only partially remedied.
The Southeast building will take
care of the major portion of the
boy population in that section,
but there are IL other districts
in the city which require adequate
club facilities for their children.
Such deficits have long been rec
ognized in other cities which have
placed the welfare of their boys
before municipal Identification.
Long Established
Although the boys club move
ment was started here as early
as 1921, when the Boys Club of
Washington was granted a char
ter, many cities in New England
established boys club forty years
before the local movement was
launched.
There was a real boys club in
Hartford, Conn, as early as 1860,
when three earnest young women
established a self-governing group
of boys known as the "DaShaway
Club" A club was established in
Salem, Mass. in 1869, and this
city was followed by New Haven
in 1876. Early records of one of
these clubs give a clear picture
of the purpose of the clubs then
and now:
"The place was well chosen;
central, accessible, attractive in
its principal rooms, while the
thOrOughfare of the prOmenad-
ers led directly past its door. The
front and main room was as
signed to amuSementS. Large,
well warmed and lighted, the
walls hung with many pictures,
it was suitably furnished with
tables and chairs and a con-
siderable variety of games.

G. o. p. AIM?
Some Republican strategists are OPP
timistic enough to suggest that they
may regain control of the lower con-
gressional chamber They cannot re-
gain control of the senate, even if they
win every seat that is at stake, this
they cannot do, by a long shot.
However, it would be heavenly,
from their standpoint, to get a lower
house majority. 1t could start no end

ties and expenditures, and create an
infinity of trouble.
But really rational Republicans do
not expect to wipe out the Democratic
margin in the house of representa-
tives in November, 1886. All they
count on is to narrow the Democratic
margin discouragingly Ito the Demo-
crats) in both houses, leaving it to
1888 to place "F. D." in the position of
being a Democratic president with a
Republican congress on his hands.

The Democratic high command re.

danger, but as threat at least.
