play in the Palace ballroom promises
to be one Of the years important
social events.
Arnold ID. Shaw is expected to add
new laurels to his remarkable
achievements in theater work here
by the skill he ii using in directing
the cast of 1.-THE Royal Family" !"
Few have forgotten his brilliant d.
rection Of the plays Death Takes
Holiday "Salome" and others.
The success Of the annual minstrels
Of the ST. Margaret's Epicopal is
due largely to superb quality he in
fuses into the art Oh directing.
In selecting "The Royal Family
for production the local chapter of
the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority as
sures its patrons that no finer play
has been seen on the West Side for
several years. A few years ago the
play was the talk Of Broadway and
the country. Written by George 3,
Kaufman and Edna Ferber, the
play toys entertainingly and abb
sorbingly with the madness Of show
folk and the everlasting glamour Of
the footlights.
