Civic Theater
To Produce
New Play
Washington Drama
By Leon Pearson
Is Next

The Washington Civic Theater,
which has been steadily engaged
in developing an acting and pro-
ducing organization capable of pre-
senting any play which may come
to it's attention, has now decided to
produce a play which has been
written by a Washingtonian and
about Washington. This will be a
complete fulfillment of the Civic s
promise to do something to develop
local playwrights.
The play selected is Washing
ton Merry -Go-Round" by Leon
Pearson. Mr.. Pearson is a corre-
spondent for Latin American and
other foreign newspapers. wash
ington Merry-Go-R is dram
atization of the Washington scene,
dealing mainly with political life
and the behind -the-scenes action
of the Nations Capitol.
F. Cowles Strickland, director for
the Civic Theater, says This is the
play that we have been waiting for.
Any Civic Theater must, sooner or
later, develop playwrights of its
own and should produce plays which
reflect the life of the community.
Washington is a peculiarly difficult
city to compress into play, but Mr.
Pearson has caught the feeling and
the tempo of the Washington
scene

Gayety Again Stars
Hinda NASSAU

All is happy and gay upon Ninth
street, for Kinda NASSAU has come
to town again. So for a week now
the Gayety will be packed to its
revered rafters by the good citi-
zens who would look upon Kinda,
the inimitable; NASSAU, the one
and only. She is magnificent, this
girl; there is no getting around
the, fact. For the record 1t might
again be noted that she is still wild
as ever and as unrestrained; TN fact,
probably the least restrained OF any,
body in her business, which may or
may not be saying a lot. Anyhow
you practically have to see Hinda
NASSAU before your education is
complete, and here she is.
Hinda NASSAU fans who are not
regular patrons of Mr.. James Lakes
emporium of the burlesque will be
happy to discover, too, that there
Is one of the better burlesoue en-
tertainments on display at the
Gayety this week. One of the bright
things about 1t is the presence of
Peggy st. Clair. Miss St. Clair has
several moments of top-notch con-
tortionistic and control dancing and
whirlwind acrobatics that would not
be out Of place on anybody's stage
And the comedy, provided by Harry
Connolly, Max Furman and Straight
Man Charles Schultz, with help
from some other people, is of the
best. We know all the stock bur-
lesque scenes as well as most of the
comics in the business, but we
laughed and laughed and laughed
ut these boys. II. NJ.
