CENTER PLAYER GROUP
OFFERS TRIO OF SHORTS
Variety Of Themes Includes
Farce, Drama and Old
Fashioned "Meller."

THE Players Club of Central Com
munity Center presented another
OF its usually entertaining one-act
play arrays last evening at Wilson
Techers' College, with the performers
dlscharging their respective stage
chores acceptably in almost every case.
The pieces chosen were in varying
moods, permitting modicum of
gamut-running during the course Of
the program. The only appreciable
detraction was late curtain. which
was considerably later than most late
curtains.
The Dressing Gown" unimportapt
but diverting farce by Robert c. v.
Meyers, turned up first, with Jack
Rollins stormlng convincingly about
the dressing gown. which is much too
long but ends up much too short,
Alberta Pusey playing the meek wife
who becomes spirited and Frederic
Cole making a plausible stiff butler.
Fills Speich was the daughter, George
Wilcox the heart interest who finally
enters into the good graces of the
management and Helen Chamblin the
maid. Dorothy Frances Braun di-
rected.
The Valiant" popular Hall and
Middlemass item, found William Aus
tin Davis being his usual dependable
self as the condemned prisoner who
Is recognized by but will not recognize
his sister, the latter well characterized
by Emily Chamblin. William Hufham

inspire laughter. Under these cir
cumstances, it does not.
As was to be expected, the scenes
within the abbey are the high lights
Of the films; the Justification for the
elaborate arrangements made for TAX
ing them. The exterior shots, which
cover every angle of the procession
from the palace to the abbey and re-
turn. Save that they show more per-
sons than ever were gathered In one
place before and more facets of the
elaborately costumed British military
they are not unlike other parade
views. In other words, they are IA
miliar even when most interesting.
The scenes Of the actual coronation
are new and strange and singularly
fine in their capturing Of the spirit Of
the pageant.
Few motion pictures inspire such
awe. And move the spectator SO deep
ly to admiring wonderment.
THAT display OF musical instru-
ments OF the Whiteman Museum
OF American Music at the Capitol
Theater tomorrow will be the first ever
held anywhere. Also it is insured for
$4,000 d. incidentally. from Carter
Barron and Gene Ford down to the
newest usher, the staff Of the Capitol
got one Of its greatest thrills in being
first with a coronation newsreel. That
few minutes margin made every one

he actually had been part of the pag-
cant in London last week. Paramount
Universal, Fox Movietone, Pathe and
Hearst used up several thousand feet
of hlm-nearly 5000. adding loosely
to tell the story Of the ritual Of King
making. They have done q grand
job and wherever one goes (Trans-Lux,
Keith's, Capitol, Palace, Earle, Co.
lumbia, Metropolitan or Ria1to) one
will learn the meaning of complete
coverage" as the newsreels practice 1t.
Not all the theaters listed, Of course,
were visited on the coronation mara
thon. It was not necessary, AS a
matter of fact, unless the movie-g goer
wants to do comparative job as be-
tween this neWsreel and that one, he
will find any single coronation reel
quite comprehensive. They differ as
to angles from which they are shot"
but each covers every detail OF the
solemn. elaborate ritual. AS for Sc
lecting between them, it might as we'll
be left to the Academy Of Motion Pic
ture Arts and Sciences which special
lies in picking "bests."
THERE are some touching moments
in the camera stories of the coro-
nation. Most of them are provided
by the Queen Mother, whose gestures
for all the regality Of her nature
betray the woman underneath. Her
intense focus upon the ceremonies of
coronation in the Abbey, her nervous
gestures on the balcony of the Palace
after the ritual and routine are ended
these are deeply moving if the imagi-
nation is given the slightest rein.
Most indicative of the gravity Of
the process of King making at least
among its isolated human touches, is
George VI. Always it seems to reflect
a full awareness of the tremendous
responsibility which is coming. and
comes. with the placement of the
crown upon his head. BY no means
is it moment for laughter and light
ness of the heart. And the central
figure in the drama plays it with no

X
THE films merit and command re-
espectful attention There is one
scene in all of them, which, were the
occasion less momentous, might be an
excuse for laughter. 1t produces the
merest suggestion of mirth as the
camera discloses it.
The scene in question is that in
which the King comes finally to the
coronation chair after the crown is
placed upon his head. Under the
weight of that highest and most pre-
cious symbol, and with his hands oc-
cupied with sword and scepter, the
King seats himself on the edge OF the
chair. To find a better position, it
is necessary for him to squirm Chats
the only word) toward the back of
the seat. It is the touch that allies
the crowned and uncrowned heads.

 MT. Mcdonald, who is heading south for his winter home at Coral Reef, Fla, is passenger for Seat tie aboard the steamship Yukon.
 We were able to get started on May 5 this year, a month ahead of the usual schedule" MT. Mcdonald said. Consequently, we were far ahead of schedule on the trip" The mine has been under MT. McDonald's jurisdiction for the past two years. It has been in operation for approximately six years Placer gold mining in Alaska very probably will show a hike even over the previous years production, in MT. McDonald's estimation. His mine will operate another month, he said, before closing down for win ter months.
