F. B. |. Players
Make Hit in
'MerriIIy'

The F. B. I. Theater Group last
evening undertook an interesting
but difficult task in the produc-
tion of George S. Kaufman's
recent New York hit, "Merrily
We Roll Along" at the Roose-
velt Auditorium. This epoSodic
Recommendation of the rise and
fall of a popular playwright,
never before presented in Wash
ington, presents extraordinary
problems for an amateur group,
for it is divided into three acts
of three scenes each, but in spite
of the manifold difficulties for
stage manager and property man
a most enjoyable presentation
was given before a practically
capacity house.
"Merrily We Roll Along" is
hardly Kaufman at his best, but
it is a serious and well-devised
drama of the progressive deterio
ration of youth who, leaving col
lege with ideals and splendid tai
entS, abandons the one and proSti
tuteS the other to win success. The
weakness of the play derives
largely from the weakness Of the
central character, Richard Niles
the playwright, who is rather toe
ready to quit where any struggle
is involved. An uncongenial mar
riage, followed by the abandon
ment Of the desire to write what is
really in his heart, leads to throw
ing overheard everything that
might hamper his rise to wealth
and ultimately to tragedy at the
height of his career.
The F. B. I. company is one of
Washington's foremost amateur
groups, and some excellent por.
trayalS were given by members of
the large cast. Notable we're
those of Clarence Moore as Niles;
Dorothy Hair as Julia Glenn, the
girl he should have married; !;
Francis crane as Jonathan Crale,
the college friend from whom he
becomes estranged, and Dorothy
Lee as Althea Royce, who helps
Niles to success and is then cast
aside.
Direction was excellent, and Car,
Isle Smith and Fordyce Lyman
not only did fine job back stage
in keeping the play running
smoothly but contributed some
wellconceived minor characterize
tionS.

in sight. Shortly after his return

Cream of Wheat is clean and safe. 1t is the

Cream of Wheat, with its clear, soft granules,

The Macedonian Call.
Lesson for October 18th. Acts
16:6-15.
Golden Text: Matt. 2S:19.
After a. short visit in Antioch
Paul set out on his second mission
airy tour, taking Silas with him.
Passing through Syria and Cilicia
they came to Lystra where Paul
found Timothy, an attractive
youth whom he persuaded to ac-
company him. .. ..( ~.
Il Upon reaching the harbor of
Troas in the northwestern corner
Of Asia Minor, not far from the
scene of the. Trojan war, Paul had
a dream in which he saw a man
from the province of Macedonia,
across the Aegean Sea, begging for
help. 1t has been surmised that
this Macedonian was none Other
than St. Luke, the beloved physi-
clan, WHO apparently joined Paul's
party at Troas. However this may
be, Paul at once answered the call,
crossed the sea, and landed at the
important city of Philippi, situated
about ten miles inland. Its inha-
bitants enjoyed Roman citizenship,
spoke Latin, and lived under Ro-
man law.
Apparently Philippi had no
synagogue. So Paul went down to
the river bank and preached to
the women who liked to gather
there to battle and to pray. His
first convert was a prosperous wo-
man, Lydia by name, who hospit-
ably entertained Paul and his COM
panions in her home.
1t is significant that 4 woman
should be the first person in Eur
ope to be won to Christ, Christ
we must remember, brought
to women a more honorable stand
ing, and gave them greater free
dom.
1t would be hard to overestimate
the services rendered by the Chris
faith to the gentler sex. In the
time of. Jesus it. was the custom
to expose female babies to die at
the hands of the pitiless elements.
What a far cry it is from this bar
barous habit to the Difference,
sympathy and consideration mani
tested everywhere toward women
today. 1t is not too much to say
that Christ has emancipated wo-
man from the brutal horaldom of
4 pagan past. 7ww-

Europe serves to strengthen the be.
