ABOR in the prop department
must be excellent training in
fha fana art of renna irainQ I'm.

must be excellent training in
the fine art of remaining un-
- perturbed. The Hollywood pub
ncity mills are continually grinding
out exciting items, maintaining that
those earrings MilIicent Millicente
wears in Love Is Nutmeg Crater"
are not fakes, but are cut from the
shinbone Of a springbok, after de-
signs found In the ancient tomb Of
a tribal chieftain in Pago-Pago. The
latest was the tale of a prop" mans
search for the egg of sea NEW. 1t
must take lot to surprise any one
who devotes his life to such goings on.
Comes now the Washington Civic
Theater, with its own candidates for
Doc Whites SIS reward-the prop
erty crew on "Kind Lady," This gang
has no god Ra's (that must be the
statue) or wild boar roasts to pro-
vide, as did the Caesar and Cleo
patra" prop committee, but they do
have the "old masters to worry over.
Among other things the Kind Lady"
settings call for an Ell Greco, Whis-
tier and a Ming horse. Also required
are q few modern paintings, supposed
ly turned out by Leading Man Dick
Kreuzburg.
Dick Is too busy rehearsing to turn
painter, so Dorothy Croissant has
turned out splendid landscape, COM
plete with cows, for one Of the Kreuz-
burg originals. Meanwhile, Charles
Grunwell visited the Duncan Phillips
gallery and (as the publicity depart
nent nodestly admits copied an Ell
Greco. Just like that. There's no
report yet on the Whistler. but there
Is rumor about that Stage Manager
Eldred Wilson is going to dash 1t of
tomorrow during his lunch hour.
Wonder If Sr. Wilson skips about
backstage at the Wardman Park
clad in shoes and shorts, the way he
did out at the Roadside.
Along next month, when the In
dians finally get tired of this Sum-
mer" Of theirs, the chill breezes Of
December will be warmed by the ro-
mantle mood and soft music Of the
Latin Americas, presented by the
American University Spanish Club in
its first operetta, "Cielito Lindo."
(The Spanish Club is devoted 10 the
study Of the language, and is not to
be confused with any munitions
makers luncheon groups.)
The cast and q chorus Of so now
are rehearsing for the musical ro-
nance, under the direction Of Louis
j. Cabrera of the schools Spanish
department. The operetta was writ
ten by Cabrera and presented at the
University of Maine when he was on
the faculty there. The date set for
its staging at American U. is Decem-
Der 1.
