QucuL Illness, OlQ not TOO deeply mar
Washington's experience with Susan
and God"
When Miss Lawrence said that yes
terday in farewell chat, this depart
ment could not believe its ears. Ac-
tresses simply do not talk that way.
Not even great actresses like Gertrude
Lawrence. In Shangri-La. or some
other imagined Utopia, a drama re-
porter might expect to hear one of the
more valiant ladies Of the kingdom
speak in such subdued, adjective tones
But not in Washington, positively not
In Washington.
Yet Miss Lawrence did And be-
cause 1t was done with complete sin
cerity and naturalness, her stature
IN our estimation shot up II cubits.
Where she had been before merely
one Of the most distinguished ladies
OF the stage, she became at once the
most distinguished lady Of the stage
raised to the second power.
THERE were rumors as Susan and
God" left town in Rolls Royce
miss Lawrence's) that the role of
the late OSgood Perkins will be taken
by Walter Huston. The part, that of
. wisely disillusioned man ready to
surrender the opiate of alcohol to give
the homely virtues of fatherhood and
domesticity another chance, is one
that would seem to fit Huston es-
pecially we'll. The character, despite
the fumes of liquor which surround
Its Introduction to the action, Is not
far removed in essence from that Of
Dodsworth. Mr.. Huston's "Dods-
WORTH" of course, was one Of his more
memorable portraits on both stage
and screen.
Paul McGrath, who stepped into the
role with such. vigor the night after
Perkins death, will continue to play
1t in Baltimore this week. at least.
McGrath brought to the part con-
siderable skill as an actor, but it was
difdcult to detect q man ravaged by
gin and bitterness in his robust ap-
pearanoe. In the performances we
saw he acted the part without ever
quite looking it.
+
IF THE screen Is inimical to good
acting, as some citizens say Gn
spite OF the fact that the majority does
not seem to care), it is all the more
to the credit of several working in
celluloid here at the moment.
There is the performance of Sylvia
Sidney in Dead End" for instance.
With some Of Miss Sidney's screen
work, it has been difficult to be in
deep sympathy, but her portrayal Of
''Drina" in the Kingsley film drama
is an artful thing quite worthy OF the
talent which Miss Sidney has obvi-
ously possessed when she did not
seem to be using it. -
In the same picture, Humphrey
Bogart rides well above any limitation
the camera may set upon quality Of
performance. His gangster is = good
actors adroit mixture Of bravado,
cruelty, terror and bewilderment.
And there is acting skill far beyond
the power Of even a Mervyn lie Roy to
create by intelligent direction in the
playing Of Claude Rains In They
Won't Forget" So thoroughly does
Rains make you dislike the character
he Is playing, which Is the ultimate in
acting in this case. that 1t is going to

YOUR SCHOOLS
When their children start off to
school in the morning that seems
to end interest in them until they
return home with vast number OF
mothers around Kennewick. Some
how it has never occurred to them
to take few minutes off from
household duties some afternoon
and drop in at the school house just
for little visit. They do not real-
ize that it holsters the morale Of
the children to see their parents
interested in school work, and that
it also reflects a genuine interest in
the welfare and progress of this
all-important institution. Teachers
and pupils alike will take more in
terest when they find, through the
personal visits of parents, that in
terest is being taken in them. It will
also serve the good purpose Of re-
vealing how well and capably the
children of school age are being
taken care of by those in whose
charge they now spend goodly
portion of their time. You may be
sure of welcome, and you will re-
turn home with a deeper pride in
your school.

Setting pest to catch a pest

ported Amazon flies proved deadly
to sugar cane borers. Again, q
small parasite was found which lays
its eggs only in the egg sac of the
black widow spider. These parasites
are to be cultivated to increase
their numbers, and eventually the
dreaded black widow spider will be
no more. Experiments with insects
believed to be capable Of destroying
grasshoppers were also tried in sew

with success. If this latter expert

THE WRONG SPIRIT

There probably isn't a town in
America wholly free of that type Of
citizen who when asked to cooperate
in some sort of public movement,
first asks himself what some other
fellow down the street is going to
geat out of it. He may not ask the
question openly, but always there is
a suspicion in his mind that pro-
noting any movement for the good
of the community is first going to
work to the financial gain of some
one else. And if he refuses to put
his shoulder to the wheel, nine
times out of ten it is because he
has the idea that someone is going
to profit more from such movement
than he will.
That sort of spirit has done more
than any other one thing to handi-
cap a town in its efforts to adj
vance. Call it pure selfishness, or
envy Of someone else in the COM
munity, or what you will, the fact
remains that one or more citizens
of this type are to be found in every
town. And we are not positive that
Kennewick is an exception to the
rule. It is easy to look back and
point out campaigns for improve
ments that were badly needed that
failed because of this type of citizen.
When a man realizes that any
progressive movement for the good
of the community as whole bene-
fits him also as an individual, then
he is the sort of citizen to have
around. When he valves aside the
fact that maybe such movement
will bring dollar or two more to
a neighbor, but goes right ahead

make his home town a better place
in which to live, and no man ever

operate in civic movement fol
fear the other fellow would "get
something out of it."
