I" Porgy Bess "
March Is

It is to a chance meeting that
Todd Duncan credits his appear
ance as Porgy in George Gersh-
wins "Porgy and Bess," coming to
the National Theater the week Of
March 16
Before he skyrocketed to fame
in the Gershwin opera, Mr.. Dun
can was a concert singer as well
as a teacher of music in Howard
University here. About a year ago
one Of his bookings was at Tuske-
gee Institute, and while there he
met Abbie Mitchell, member Of
the faculty who had spent most
of her life in the theater and on
the concert stage.
Not long after this concert
George Gershwin sent for Abbie
Mitchell in regard to the part of
Clara in "Porgy and Bess." Her
own role in the opera settled, Miss
Mitchell ventured to tell Gershwin
about the brilliant young concert
singer who had recently appeared
at TuSkegee.
Having great respect for Miss
Mitchell's Judgment in things
musical, the composer wrote Todd
Duncan and asked him if he could
come to New York for an audi
ton. Duncan came, was heard
by Gershwin and the Theater
Guild officials and offered the
role Of Porgy on the spot.
Not at all sure that he wanted
to venture upon the uncertain
waters of q theatrical career, Mr..
Duncan asked for time to think it
over. Gershwin suggested that
while he thought it over he go
through the complete score. Dun
can agreed and returned to his
home in Washington, D. c., with
a copy of the score under his arm.
BY the time he had played through
"Porgy and BesS" he had fallen
completely under the spell o. the
music and knew that he muGt ac-
cept the offer the Theater Guild
had made him.
Since his success in the Gersh-
win opera Mr.. Duncan trembles

With the Amateurs

The present week in the baili-
wick of amateur dramaticS in
Washington is notable, indeed. Not
so much for the large number Of
productions, as was the case last
week, but for the presentation OF
Frederic Lonsdale's The High
Road by the Drama Guild
for three performances, starting
tomorrow evening.
In the first place. the Drama
Guild. virtually conceived and
grown to mans estate in the Ward
man Park Theater, forSakeS its
first love and will present the play
at Pierce Hall. Fifteenth and Har-
ward Streets Northwest.
In the second place, THE High
Road" is going three nights, itself
setting something Of o Guild rec
ord, although the reason for the
extra day may not be entirely un-
related to the first item of note
And lately, the play will have its
technical production quite in the
hands Of the ladies.
Washington has many good
stage technicianS among the gen.
tier 'suasion, but here, for the
first time, it is believed, the ladies
have their great chance in all de-
partments. Sylvia Lane. who is
serving her novitiate in Washing
tons Semipro production circles. is
directing the play. Earlier she
was assistant director on the
Guilds production of Tobias and
the Angel"
Dorothy CroisSant is designing
the costumes - that statement
alone beSpeakS the high quality
and artistry in this department.
Frances Hand, one of the Guilds
most active scenery pusher-
abouterS, is the technical director.
And speaking of the new and
coming Little Theater of Alex
andria, reminds us that on Fri
day evening three one-act plays
will be presented over there. Susan
Glaspell's "Trifles," "Bagatelle"
(an Arabian fantasy, and Re
union," a burlesque melodrama a
la 1850 will be presented.
A virtual who's who Of actorial
talent is included in the dra-
mats perSonae. Maurice Jarvis,
than whom there is no more state
ly, efficient and reliable actor in
the local semi-pro groups: Harry
Westcott, whose vocal and phys
ical bigneSS emphasizes his parts:

with a mind reader. "The

Irene felt he must be mistaken.
Then the embargo is lifted and
all are free to go. That is all
except the Russian lady. The
munitions maker has grown a
little tired of her whimSicalities
and finds it convenient to have
her passport held up. Irene then
confesses that Harry Van, the
song-and-dance man. was right all
the time. She even remembers
the number of the room in the
Governor Bryan Hotel in Omaha.
Harry decides to send his dancers
to Geneva and remains behind to
talk things over.
THE GORGEOUS LYNN
At this point enemy aviators
have discovered that the Hotel
Monte Gabrielle is good target
for bombs. But Harry Van, a
Song-and-dance man at heart, goes
to the piano, with Irene beside
him, and hammers out onward,

HOOFING ALFRED
From this corner there is the
suspicion that a generous seq.
ment of last nights overflow
crowd came to see Alfred Lunt go
into his song and dance, frolic in
the mood of Irving Berlin. The
preliminary warning that Alfred
would dance with six lovely
blondes somehow intrigued cul-
tured Guild subscribers, as it did
me.
Thanks then to Author Sher-
wood for his detour to Tin Pan
Alley. Up to the time that Mr..
Lunt produced his SeXtette Of al
Turing and lively damsels the eve
ming was much like q Town Hall
debate on FasciSm and its influ-
ences.
Once Mr.. Lunt condescended to
do his impression of Harry Rich
man singing and dancing Putin

blondined charmers sing Pardon
My Southern Accent" in the
French and German version, the
play picked up. To say nothing

cocktail lounge of the Hotel

To this modernistic hostelry
come a varied assortment of tour.

other attractions of a mountain
retreat. A German doctor-sci-

AS it happens the hotel Is really
an internment resort since the
italian powers in charge rule that
none of the guests may have their
passports vised for departure or
cross the border until certain mo-

pass. This is the very night that
the munition makers have picked

other helliSh air deviltry.

So here they all are, con-
fined in the hotel. and what's to
be done. Alfred Lunt as the
song-and-dance man decides the
time is propitious for a cabaret
show and he gives it. Achille
Weber, the munitions magnate,
finds opportunity to expound
that he is not as bad as the
nations and the people who buy
his poison gas and armament.
The honeymooners drink vodka
and pet a little. The excitable
Frenchman tells what he thinks
