Wyoming Avenue.
Seeing Betty Harvey stroll
ling along in the MONDAY sun
shine brought back memories
of the splendid etchings she
used to make out under the
palm trees on the picturesque
campus of the University Of
Hawaii, and we wonder
whether she has kept up with
her art. Yesterday she was
snugly wrapped in a sealskin
coat and had black acces-
sories. As a CHEEKY note she
topped off her outfit with a
gay little red hat with a
snappy brim.
Mrs. George Barnett, widow
of the former Commandant Of
the Marine Corps, is expected
to return to r home on
Rhode Island Avenue either
Monday or Tuesday after
three weeks sojourn in Flor
ida. She has been the house
guest of Mrs. Irving Hall
Chase at her home in Palm
Beach and has been feted at a
round of gay parties.

The wives of these Members
of Congress have always made
it a habit to be Eat home" Mon

it convenient for their friends

FINE JOB OF ACTING
BY COLUMBIA PLAYERS
1.-THE Shining Hour That Hardly
CLOVIS Is Unhappy Choice
of Group.

I UNFORTUNATELY, it is rather
hard to become enthusiastic over
"One of the outstanding plays of the
1884 New York season" such being
the programs reference to THE Shin
ing Hour" presented last evening by
the Columbia Players.
One can only feel that it would
have been much better for some one
to come out on the stage and tell a
story about the heroic wife who killed
herself so that husbands affection
for another lady could be satiated.
That's what The Shining Hour" is
about, but Playwright Keith Winter
has seen fit to indulge in such pas
times as plumbing the depths of
emotion and, at the expense of many
words and minutes, establishing that
A understands" B, B does not "un-
derstand" C,-and on and on.
The result anywhere is an opus
possessed of the velocity of molasses
on sandpaper; the result last night
was creditable presentation of an
unhappy choice.
Playing with sincerity and care,
Eileen Fowler delivered a laudable
performance in the role of Mariella,
who comes into the home and life
of David Linden, precipitates discord
and death, reorientates the bereaved
fellow. and, presumably, embarks with
him on the larger life" The latter
emotion tormented character was por-
trayed in able manner by Arthur
Westover, who proved convincingly
that David is really lin the middle"
Hannah, that member of the clan
Linden to whom is delegated the task
OF housekeeper, gave caustic utter
ance to her good intentions" in the
person of Yvonne Kushner. Miss
Kushner projected Hannah's view
point in thoroughly satisfying fashion.
Judy. the self-sacrificing spouse, was
commercially played by Bunnie Skin
ner, with Walter Butcher adequate as
Hannah's husband. Charles Grun-
well played the young and impetuous
Micky with no little elan, but his
overwhelming display of grief at
Judy's death was not quite under
standable

it means. Shirley?" Il guess 1t means
being tough at the wrong time" she
replied. The word philosopher" was
explained thus wise by Miss Temple,
"A philosopher is wise guy-sort of

Stuart Erwin is now convinced he
was mistaken in his desire to raise
mustache. When the news leaked out
hundreds of letters of protest poured
in from the comedians fans. Next,
his fan clubs got up petitions and had
all members sign. Then came a letter
from one Of his studio executives,
informing him he was spelling his
type. Erwin was unconvinced until
he returned home from a weeks loca-
ton trip. His children took one look
at him and screamed for mother.
Stuart strobe to the bath room and
in 10 minutes emerged with a face
as smoth as billiard ball. His chill
dren greeted him with open arms.
So did wife, June Collyer.

Mr.. Richard Dix gets at the controls

moments are not quite so stirring as
some of the earlier flying shots, the
lovely smash-ups, the flames and

last night was out for blood, but
evidently the customers had their best
fun when some nice young man was
