Sylvan Shows
Offer Variety

The programs offered in the
Sylvan Theater once a week on
Tuesday evenings by groups of
actors, dancers, singers and other
musicians, performing under the
starlight constitute one of wash
ington'S most popular entertain
ments. Hundreds of Washing
tonians and many visitors spend
warm evenings in comparative
cool there this season.
For a number of summers now
these Sylvan Theater festivals
have been going on, and this
season Washington is acutely
conscious of their value. Groups
such as the Arts Club, the Com
munity Players. the Blackfriars
Guild. the G-Men. the Estelle
Wentworth Opera Group, the
leading dance groups, glee clubs,
orchestras and bands, all join
in giving programs at the Monu-
ment Grounds from time to time
during the summer. The re-
sulting events possess both orig
inality and charm, the result Of
many men of many minds-all
intent on offering programs that
are different and likable.
Four Groups
This week there is an especially
wide diversity in the program Of
fered by the Summer Festival
Committee on Tuesday evening at
8 o'clock. -Four unrelated groups
are presenting the festival pro-
gram. There is the Civic OrcheS-
ira, Of musicians who play for
the love of playing" There is a
group of three well known players,
Miss Hester Walker Beall, Mr..
Clarence Moore, and Mr.. Forney
Reese, giving a scene from Tam
ing of the Shrew," ahead of the
LuntS next winter. There is a new
instrumental group known on the
radio, as Johnny Westbrook and
his string entertainers, who do
wonderful things with Hawaiian
guitars, and ukuleles and who will
make their very first appearance
on a Washington stage on this
occasion. Finally there is the
EStelle Wentworth Opera Group
which almost more than any other
group has contributed of its time
and its talent to make successful
the Summer Festivals here. This
week the singers directed by Miss
Estelle Wentworth will offer the
amusing trifle, called by Sir
Arthur Sullivan and his equally
famous opera-partner, Sir William
S. Gilbert, "Trial by Jury" a di'
verting travesty on a breach of
promise suit in England'S law
courts in days gone by.
Sixth Festival
This weeks festival will be the
sixth in the present season, and
there will be six to follow, for the
season lasts IL weeks this year,
closing on the LIST of September
with concert by the Mayo Choral
Club of Washington. Between
whites there is to look forward to
five utterly different events. in
Guiding two appearances of the
Washington Community Players,
who will offer a ShakeSpearean
festival program with music on
Tuesday, July %, and "a Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" on Tuesday,
August Is.
A brilliant Pan-American pro.
gram will be given on Tuesday
night. August II, by the Marian
Chace Dancers, the Wentworth
Opera Singers and others; and
then again on August Is Miss
wentworth will direct a perform
ance of the ever-lovely opera Mar

The game started, and what
a thriller it was all through
the six chukkers! 1t ragged
from one end of the field to
the other; over to one side and
across to the other. Not once,
but several times, ball, players
and all charged over the boards
and all but into the laps of the
spectators, exciting, to say the
least.
One of H a II on Kings
ponies must be used to musical
drills or dancing because, dur
ing the third period, he decided
to "sit it out" And sit he did,
looking for all the world like
some huge dog.
Dick Kirkpatrick look d
comfortable, if a bit different,
in his attire. He wore a white
helmet, white shirt and boots,
just like the rest of his team,
but instead of white breeches,
he chose blue dungarees, which
came down to his ankles over
his boots. But he certainly can
ride and play; in fact, they all
could, and did. The whole
game was so filled with hard
riding, seemingly near COLI
sions and everything, that it
is a pity it could not be taken
in smaller, slower doses, so as
to be really appreciated.
During one particularly ex-
citing dash to a goal, a small
lad near us seriously announced
to the world at large that it
would be better if they all got
off and walked and left the
horses out of it. This opinion
he swiftly abandoned when
someone explained that his
idea would make it hockey in
stead Of polo.

ley, of the Cavalry, watched
the game with eagle eyes,
scarcely taking their attention
from the ball for even a min
ute. She had on a pretty
printed frock in shades of soft
browns and white, and a wide
brimmed brown straw hat.
During one of the pauses
another youngster, looking out
across the field and at the
Monument rising straight and
sharp into the blue skies
wanted to know whether or
not it was any miles high. He
was terribly disappointed when
he was told it was not, and
sorrowfully asked-"Not even
one mile high ?"
A threesome of pretty spec
tators in the boxes included
Mrs. John L. Hines, DR., her
sister, Miss Barbara Williams,
and Mrs. Arthur P. Thayer.
Towards the end of the game
we heard loud words coming
from the roadway. Being in
quisitive, we turned to find a
portly gentleman rose-colored
with indignation over the small
charge for the reserved seats.
It was a public park, and he
didn't see why he should pay
more when he already pays
taxes, was the gist of his argu-
ment, he apparently believing
that the chairs were the gift of
some fairy godmother, Santa
Claus or the Easter Bunny,
and that nobody, not even the
manufacturer, had to be paid
Then, all too soon the game
was over, and the unparking
and wrestling with the traffic
commenced. All tied up in
fiendish knots, a few guardians
of the law appeared and the
three lines of cars unwound
and went on their own ways
rejoicing.
A certain little gold wedding
band has seen service in three
ceremonies, all in the same
family and in three different
generations. 1t was first used
fifty years ago when Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward M. Hall wer
married, and again played its
part at the marriage of their
daughter to Mr.. Caryll n e il
Odell. Last Wednesday when
the Halls were celebrating
their golden anniversary, their
granddaughter, Sara Jan
Odell, became the bride OF
Ralph Aubrey Elliott, son OF
Mrs. Belwood X. Elliott and
the late Mr.. Elliott. Last weeks
bride now wears the tiny
golden circle.
The wedding took place al
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Hall
with the Rev. Henry j. Whit.
ing, pastor of the Christ Luth'
eran Chuch of Bethesda, Of
ficiating. Quite a few of the
guests, who numbered 400, had
also been guests at the other
wedding back in 1856.

The Washington times., 1936-07-20


An interesting newcomer to the
Capital is Nine. Ibrahim Said
Zoulfikar, wife Of the recently ar
rived member of the staff of the
Egyptian legation. She is tiny
and slim, with brown wavy hair
worn smoothly brushed to one
side. Her face is like pale ivory
with the faintest of pink tints on
the cheeks, and her black eyes
twinkle with merriment and I'm
derstanding.
Likes to Motor
A very independent young
woman is this little person. High
ways and maps hold no terrorS
for her. Having settled her Sum-
mer household here and nothing
particularly demanding her atten-
ton, she started out in her royal
blue sedan, just as anyone might,
for a spin down into Virginia or
out into Maryland. Instead she
headed for New York, her only
companion being a road map.
There wasn't the slightest diff
Guilty in the maze OF traffic OF the
various cities along the way. For
someone who has been in this
country (for the very first time) I,
barely two weeks, to set out on
lengthy motor tricks rather puts
many of us to shame.
Being a very active person,
Nine Zoulfikar naturally is fond
of several sports. Her family in
Egypt has homes in Cairo and
Alexandria. Holidays, and Sum-
mers are spent at the latter city's
Seashore, where, of course, swim
ming and boating come in for
their share of popularity. Before
her marriage she spent at least
two and sometimes more hours
riding in the late afternoon with
her English governesS-teacher,
and she is still a loyal follower
Of bride paths.
Having studied French, English,
Turkish, Italian and Arabic, all Of
which she speaks fluently, along
with her other studies, one won
ders when she ever had time to
do the exploring and sightseeing
she did. One interesting visit of
hers was to an old tomb in the
mountains, way down below the
ground level. This had been Wis
tied by countless artists, trying to
initiate the various colors in the
designs painted so many centuries
ago. Electric lights had been in
stalled to aid the visitors.
While there Nine. Zoulfikar
found an American artist, whose
shades were the closest to the
old originals, which are still as
bright as though painted but
the day before. Surprised and
somewhat amazed at this, ques-
tons were asked and then the
artist revealed that she had not
depended upon the modern light
ing, but had placed a huge mir
ror in the entrance, which re-
Elected the sunlight down below
and by which she worked just
as some other artist had done
years and years ago.
Is Movie Fan
Usually a newcomer to this
country is just a bit surprised
by what they find. When chat
ting about this Nine. Zoulfikar
quickly replied that it was just
as she had expected it to be, DE-
cause along with her other &C.
tivities she is an ardent movie
fan and had thus visited many
parts of America by way of the
screen and camera. Speaking of
movies, Egypt has it's own Holly
wood where sound pictures are
filmed and shipped to other ma
tons.
Washington is the Zoulfikar's
first diplomatic station. He was
formerly in the Foreign Office in
his homeland. With their young
son, Said, they are making their
home at the Fairfax until they
find a house
