busy time. Along with
- the closing of school
comes housecleaning, recitals,
music festivals, nurses COM
mencement and dance and all of
the activities that attend the
final days of the twelfth grade at
school. 1t almost gets to the
point where one must chose the
thing that has the most appeal
for each day. so many affairs are
happening almost at once. This
week. Art Day was such a pleas
uTe and today there is another
chance to feast your eyes on the
beautiful. for there is a showing
of adult work at the Grange be-
ginning at two. Tonight Is the
Spring Festival of Music out at
the High School. No one wants
to miss that. And it is COM
forting to know that there will
be more seats available. but that
does not mean that one coming
late will find a seat waiting.
Remember the line that has
stood in years past? Eight
O'Clock, almost on the dot. Will
liam E. Miller will be raising
his baton for the opening num-
ber. So. from now on for about
two weeks. get your rest when
you can. for these are important
days for your boys and girls and
your presence means much at the
functions.

Miss Lila Hudson was again
feted on Thursday evening of
last week when Mrs. Townsend
Masten gave a surprise bath
room shower for Miss Hudson at
her home in Harrington. Imagine
walking into a dining-room and
seeing a shower curtain hanging
from the chandelier! But it was
a happy thought. for under the
curtain were other things for the
bath from the friends who were
invited. Bridge followed. The
guests were Miss Alta Coffin.
Miss jeanette Manlove. Miss Lii
lie Coffin, Mrs. Nathaniel Rogers.
Mrs. Arthur Hall. Mrs. Harry
Mayhew, Mrs. Milton Manlove.
Mrs. James Deputy. Mrs. Clar-
ence Kemp. Mrs. Albert Mag. of
Dover, Mrs. Harold Grossnickle.
Mrs. Robert Hurd. of Dover, and
Mrs. Horace Johnston. of Laurel.
Mrs. Hall won first prize for the
highest score. and the low-score
prize went to Miss Manlove. Mrs.
Deputy drew for consolation
prize.

On Friday afternoon, the beau
tiful yard of Mrs. Saunders M.
Truitt was the playground for
the members of Miss Dorothy
Derrickson's section of the third
grade. This was the third time
that Mrs. Truitt had made such
a happy gesture to this class.
As on previous years there was
time for play before refresh
ments and favors came. Assist
ing we're Miss Elizabeth Collins
and Miss Ida Draper. AS an ex-
preston of the pleasure for the
afternoon. some of the members
of the class drew and painted
picture of Mrs. Truitt's yard and

Noel Coward Plav
To Be Staged

Noel Coward fans now have an
opportunity to see another of his
plays-this one which seems not to
have been presented in Washington
before-"1ll Leave It to You" The
comedy, which was produced in
London with the author in leading
role, will be staged Friday and
Saturday nights at Cissel Chapel,
Thirty-f1rst and P streets NV,
under the auspices of the Women's
Auxiliary of the Georgetown Pres
byterian Church.
Mary Belle Steinbauer is directing
the farce, which has one of those
typical daft British families up
against the bleak, blank wall Of
financial doom.
The cast includes number of
players who have had much expert
ence with local drama groups, in
Guiding Ted Field of the Crossroads
group and Dorothy Wood of the
Alexandria Little Theater. Others
are Nina Bishop, David Stanley,
Lucy Allen, Clyde Smith, Nancy
Link, Marion Hulburt, Mardelee

The Buster.Upper

H. Mcclure Capps, one Of Sam
uel Goldwyn's associate art direc-
tors, enjoys job which would glad
den the heart of any child with de-
structive instincts. He is in charge
of messing up the woodwork of new
sets. His instrument usually is a
piece of two-by-four and he goes
about slamming hicks into door,
ways and bannister posts. "You
see" he explained at his work, mo
home (slam) would look (bang)
lived-in, unless there were (biff-
sock) some scars to mark up
(whack) the passage of people and
years." 1t is all very carefully cal
culated, according to period, just
where the marks should be. A nick
caused by a gentleman's sword

Goth century home nor would scars

ness itself and he understood how
to give point to many scenes by
individual touches.
His three friends, Marcel, Schau-
nard and Colline, sung by Francis
Row, William Fletcher Smith and
Lloyd Harris. were fine character
studies as these artists portrayed
them and they brought liveliness to
the beginning of the first and fourth
acts and pathos when necessary in
the others. Mr.. Row was especially
admirable as Marcel, while Mr..
Harris gave distinction to the role
Of Colline. Mr.. Smiths singing of
the aria In the last act, when he
decides to part from his coat for
funds to help the dying Mimi, was
warmly applauded.
Berenice Alarie was a vivacious
and dainty Musetta and displayed
a voice of far greater sweetness than
is usually heard in this role, while
that splendid actor, Pompilio Mala-
tesla, had charge of the characters
Of the landlord, Benoit. and the
councillor of state, Alcindoro.
The chorus was a large and
spirited one, well costumed, but
hampered by the size of the stage
from doing all that it was capable
Of in the concerted scenes. Angelo
Canarutto again conducted the Or
chestra, giving finished perform
ance and carrying, on the whole,
along with sureness and energy.
This evening "Lohengrin" will be
given, with Frederic Jagel in the
name part and Emma Redell as Elsa.

don't you tnlnk the PUBLICITY de-
partments Of Hollywood did not
make the most of it.
And now what do you think
they are going to do?
They are planning to ridicule the
whole thing. Even at this moment,
studio typewriters are clicking out
a satire on the subject, saying with
out reservation just how silly it all
was. is and always will be.
That, however, is only the half of
It and not the funniest half either.
The remainder is that the leads in
the picture will be played by Sonia
Henie and Tyrone Power. Romantic
hearts and remembering minds will
have no difficulty recalling that of
the publicity romances Hollywood
engendered in recent years, this was
the most colossal of them all. No

words, nor even the number of
pictures, which were devoted to the
beautiful love legend of this rising

success WHICH crowned their efforts.
With only piano rehearsal, since
the orchestra parts were late in ar
irving, the opera moved smoothly
and with spirit, without any indica-
ton that orchestra and singers had
had no time to practice together.
The large and distinguished audi
ence thoroughly enjoyed itself, CIV
ing recognition at every opportunity
to the best vocal talent that had
been heard so far. The same scenery
used Monday night did duty again
and, because of the limitations of the
stage for an opera of this character,
much was left 20 the Imagination,
but these points assumed less i'm
portance beside the performance of
the cast.
The Mimi was Margarita Salvi,
who. in her appearance, has all the
charm associated with the character

enough in the lower register nor
moving enough in its color to be
ideal for the part, but she did as

gained power although the tone is
always somewhat brittle in its
clarity.

Joseph Bentonelli, as Rudolph, was

PAN AMERICA:

Undiplomatic as happy kids who
know secret are U. S. business
men who stand to profit from South
American trade expansion during
the European war. In late Septem-
Der, while % American nations met
at Panama City to weld their friend
ship and neutrality, there was much
bustling among tradesmen in New
York and Washington.
The National Economic and So
cia1 Planning association said the
u. S. stands to gain tremendously
in Latin-American trade, but was
wise enough to warn that expansion
must proceed on the ''basic prin-
ciple that the only justifiable pur-
pose is to benefit all con-
cerned." Next day American Ex-
press company's Lynde Selden an
nounced his firm was opening a
chain of Latin-American offices to
help the U. S. in a boom trade he
expected would reach nearly $780,

one kind of politics adjourned and
another took its place. Incidents:
q. ALI Landon, 1886 G. o. P. presi-
Dental nominee, told the New York
Herald Tribune that a third term
denial would be Franklin Roose-
velt's greatest contribution in the
present emergency. The President
(whose popularity has zoomed to
1886 heights) made no comment.
IA "Wisconsin-Palo Alto axis"
was formed by isolationists and anti
repealists, embracing such peculiar
chums as former President Her
bert Hoover, former Wisconsin Gov.
Philip LaF Gillette, Father Charles E.
Coughlin, Capt. Eddie v. Ricken-
hacker and J. c. HORNED, Austin,
Mimi, meat packer. AS his fellow
aviator, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
had done the week before, Captain
Rickenbacker made a radio talk.
The 'axis'' named itself the Keep
Out-of-War committee.
q All Republican and one Demo-
cratic (Missouri's Bennett Champ
Clark) members Of the senate for
eign relations committee were
barred from a private session of
that group called to draft a neu-
trality bill. This brought many sar-
castle remarks about adjourned
politics"
At last a measure was submitted
to the complete committee and
seemed certain to reach the floor for
heated debate. Not only would it
provide "cash-and-carry'' neutrality
but it would placate presidential foes
by requiring a majority of both
houses for invocation. Another ex-
ecutive check: the munitions con-
troll board must report to congress
on sales to belligerents each six
months. Ninety-day credit was ex-
tended to belligerents. Other fea-
lures: ~ Authorizing the President
to designate combat zones and bar
American ships and citizens from
them; (2) prohibiting collection Of
funds for belligerents; 80 requiring
belligerents to take title of goods
before shipment.
