This locality, embracing the low
grounds of F street north. and ex-
tending from Seventeenth street
west to Rock Creek, was, anterior to
the draining of the grounds, noted
for its unhealthfulness, as will be
remembered by many of our old
residents. The Foggy Bottom chills
were sufficient to deter most per-
sons from settling in that region.
and little or no business was done
there, except by the duckers and
fishermen who occupied the tene-
ments erected near the river. Until
few years past probably not more
than a score of houses dotted the
southern portion of this locality,
and its desolated appearance looked
as if it might be the abode of

its lonely and desolated appearance
often furnished material for mar

With the Wind" to the screen. Even
a third seeing leaves one in agree
ment with Producer Brock Pember-
ton that the plays capacity to amuse
entirely justifies second tour. the
more especially now that the Gone
With the Wind" incident is so close
to its climax.
The major change in the cast of
Kiss the Boys Goodby" introduces
Lucia Lull in the role which was
played with such fiery Southern
charm by Helen Claire in the origi-
nal company. 1t is hard to believe,
especially by one who went mad
with delight over Miss Claire's per-
formance, that any one could do it
with equal spirit and success. The
fact is that Miss Lull does so, down
to the finest turn of that amazingly
tested accent. The result is that
whatever inferiority is to be found
in the present version, be it actual
or merely the product of repetition,
is ascribable to relaxation on the
part of the rest of the cast.
If, at this late date, any one re-
mains in ignorance of the theme Of
Kiss the Boys Goodby," it deals
with the marvellous war Of words
and customs between the South and
Hollywood, with both sides pausing
now and then to grapple with the
blase, brittle North. If all centers
around the selection of Cindy Lou
Bethany, of the Georgia Bethanys,
to play the part of Velvet OToole
in Hollywood's most colossal picture.
From that basic situation, Miss
Boothe extracted enough entertain
ment for several plays, most Of 1t
derived from the fact that she
viewed the whole thing as pain
in the neck The revelation of her
feeling about it is the more attrac-
lively diabolic for her inclusion Of
some incidental characters from
Broadway for whom she always
keeps on hand an extra supply of
vitriol. A dyspeptic publisher and
socially conscious columnlSt are
the most recognizable of the lot and
what Miss Boothe does to them is
quite as savage as her treatment of
the Hollywood set which includes a
producer, a director and a fading
glamour girl. 1t is good fun and it
is not immaculate.
Among the newcomers in the cur
rent cast are Yukona Cameron, once
of vaudeville, playing her first dra-
matte role and doing well in the
part of the fading cinema star;
Henry Norell as the opportunist
producer and Loring Smith as Mad
ison Breed, the columnist, neither
of the latter two up to the remem-
bered level of their predecessors.
Carmel White, Philip Ober and Ed
win Nicander of the original COM
pany are back, their performances
