Too bad the Black Friars' Guild

same grassy slopes.
Having seen Jane Cowl play
Moonyeen on the stage and Norma

eager to see how Washington's
ambitious theSpians will handle
this tear-drop favorite.
Most people have forgotten all
about it, but Smiling Through"
was also produced at the National
as a musical, with one Of the
finest scores that Vincent YOU
mans ever composed. It persisted
after a few performances because
Jane Cowl positively refused to let
the adapters drop any lines from
the original play script. So the
production was weighed down
with dialogue. You may still hear
reminders of Through the Years"
over the radio, which occasionally
plays the title song and Drums

numbers from the short-lived
musical.

Store Revue

Last night at the Belasco The
alter Miss Julia Cunningham pre-
sented the 1895 Department
Store Revue, which turned out to
be a colorful and varied produc-
ton, well staged, beautifully cos
TUNED and surprisingly entertain
ing.
The program was too long and
elaborate to treat in detail. Quite
a number of the solo and group
numbers were worthy of special
praise.
The department store idea was
carried out throughout the revue,
the girls taking the part of both
merchandise and sales persons.
The production was overwhelm-
ingly feminine, though an occa:
sional male did sneak in to do a
capable bit.
The tap dancing Of Dolores
Anderson and the work of Murrel
Holt and Thelma Norton are bits
that stick to the mind.
The whole revue moved with
rhythmic precision and was wholly
enjoyable.

hundreds of thousands of very

in the Glen Echo daytime crowds.
All of these kids have very
definite ideas about wanting to go
out to Glen Echo. Yes stree, Glen

of the cihcus and they are going
to Glen Echo or else. This usually
means that momma or poppa or
both, go along with their young

too.
The scores and scores of picnic
parties staged at Glen Echo every
day range from jolly little family
groups to big Sunday school and
organization excursions where 500
or more boys and girls make
merry. They thrill to the joys Of
the merry-go-round, the coaster
dips and the midway Of fun"
They splash in the crystal pool
and drive the motor boats round
and round the water course.
Evenings at Glen Echo are
bright and gay with the doingS of

It was through his attempt to

HOLLYWOOD, June 24.-So
you won't talk, Ell? There can be
no doubt in anyone's mind any
more anent the remerging of Mar
garet Sullivan and Henry Fonda
and here be the reason: First of
all, Universal teamed both of them
in an opera entitled Reno in the
Spring. but Miss S. stepped out
because she had to go to New York
and have her broken arm rebroke
and reset and then she takes off
for Europe. In the meantime Mr..
Fonda (about to start working in
the Epic) decided that he couldn't
cope with the situation, cancelled
his contract for same, went to lew
York, and is now en- route to for
eign soil with Margaret Sullivan
the ex-MrS. Fonda. So what can
that spell but reunion.
Bob Burns has received so many
fan requests Gas a matter of fact
they run well into the thousands
for replicas of his famous bazooka
that he is opening a factory in
which he will make baby bazookas
to send to the fans who write in
and possibly send a quarter.
That's a business for you.
Don't be in the least surprised
if Walter Huston portrays the
judge in "WinterSet" for RKO.
They're dickering with him at the
moment.
Sol Lesser made Paul Robson
(the sepia actor an offer to do a
picture for him and Mr.. r. an

contract was not signed. George
