Children's Theater
Actors Work Hard
When on the Road

Among the events scheduled for
the coming season for the children
of Washington will be six plays by
the Clare Tree Major Children's
Theater Of New York. They are:
"Dick Wilmington "Pocahontas, )"
"Old King Cole" RIP Van Winkle," !"
Under the Lilacs" and Aladdin"
The actors are professional troup-
ers, following the methods of such
famous companies as Southern and
Marlowe, Ben Greet and the Co.
burns. Many have been with Clare
Tree Major for several years.
Last year the vehicles of the six
companies clocked exactly 181,2 ,293
miles as their seasons run. From
Laredo. Texas, to the northern bor-
der of Wisconsin. and from the
Golden Gate and Treasure Island to
the World of Tomorrow" in New
York, the Childrens Theater cara
vans sped through 80 weeks, seeing
America first
Travelling, however. is incidental
to their real job. which is bringing
the theater to the children. No
matter what the weather, what de-
tours they may have to make for
road repairs, floods, or broken
bridges, the vehicles must pull up to
the auditorium two hours before
performance time. The curtain must
60 up on time.
This entails work. The companies
are entirely self-managed. An actor
drives the truck to the stage door,
the actors unload the scenery and
set it up on the stage. The girls
look after the costumes. During the
play, except in regular theaters, the
actors change the scenes and set
the lights, and at the end they pack
up again and start off for the next
playing place.

Recital Given
BY Young
Artists
Jean Westbrook and
Everett Stevens
Warmly Received
Bv ALICE EVERSMAN.

Two talented young artists, Jean
Westbrook, violinist, and Everett
Stevens, pianist, combined forces
last evening in a sonata recital at
Pierce Hall. Both are we'll known
here and their careers have been
followed with interest by their many
friends who welcomed them warmly
at their joint recital yesterday. Mr..
Stevens, who has already had con-
siderable acclaim as a composer,
performed his "Sonatina" for violin
and piano for the first time in
public.
Their program was designed to
give a comprehensive idea of their
talents and consisted of the Mozart
Sonata in G Major, K. 301";; the
Beethoven Sonata in F Major. Op.
"a" and the Debussy Sonata in G
Minor" besides Mr.. Stevens so
natina." In both performers the
musical feeling and understanding
was of high order, with earnest
ness and sincerity in all that they
did.
Miss Westbrook has lovely tone,
pure and flexible if not overly
strong. Her technique is solidly
grounded with definite touch that
permits freedom of effects to come
forth with ease The sure response
which her mechanical control gives
to her musical ideas adds real
pleasure to her art. Mr.. Stevens
is a brilliant pianist with a thor
oughly artistic direction in his
playing.
In combination their respective
talents are not such as blend per-
fectly in ensemble playing in spite
of the finish of their performance
Mr.. Stevens more robust delivery
was hard to subdue to the require
ments of Miss Westbrook's more
delicate art. But this is a question
of individuality and did not greatly
interfere with the more important
matter of musical comprehension
of the different styles which their
program presented.
After the Mozart Sonata, which
gave them the opportunity to get
thoroughly into the mood of the
program, the young artists played
the Beethoven with sympathy and
finesse. There was warmth under
lying the tonal color and respect for
the detailed effects that showed a
true understanding The Debussy

their motion picture scribes, among
whom there may have been a Phari-
see or two.
"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"
is picture not content with
stopping at the proof that good pic
lures can be made with Capital
background. The Aim which opens
its public run at the Earle on Fri
day goes farther, as much farther as
Capra pictures usually do. which
almost invariably Is a new record
for distance.
Apart from its entertainment
virtues, which come up here for
formal discussion on Friday, it has
a number of others Of notable merit.
AS no other picture in memory, it
awakens a feeling of pride in
Washington as home, even as it
constitutes a rebuke to the casual
ness with which it is accepted. AS a
revitalizing agent for hundred and
one meanings which have become
fiat and commonplace, the Capra
picture is a thing of astonishing
impact. The Washington which Mr..
Smith finds, the one so many local
citizens have lost, is a place of
endless enchantment. That it is
so is one of the most engaging quail
ties of the picture and one of the
greatest tributes to Capra as director.
1t reflects the essential spirit which
makes Charlie Chaplin the out
standing genius in the motion pic
ture field.

rally, ngureS largely IN the move
ment of the story and by no means
as the mere landmark for which II
is used locally. Mr.. Smith finds II
something to visit with love and
reverence for the inspiration he
finds in it. The picture communi-
Gates his feeling for it so dramati-
cally as to create the impression that
one is seeing it for the first time.
1t is not alone the Lincoln Me-
mortal for which Mr. Capra's serv-
ices as sightseeing guide have this
degree and scope of meaning
Statuary Hall at the Capitol, the
dome of the building, a pillar here
and an inscription there-all of
them authentic and not the work of
scene designers-come out of the
picture with new significance.
In perceiving the implications of
his pictures background, Mr.. Capra
obviously was conquered by Wash
ington. but in giving them to the
spectator so effectively he, in his
turn, conquered it.
So ends the myth that it could not
be done. And happy ending, too.
Showing of the picture at Consti-
tuition Hall last night was the climax
Of the premiere ceremonies.
The prelude lasted longer. It
began with luncheon at the Press
Club at 1890, with Arthur Hachten
presiding, Mr.. Capra as honor guest,
and Jim Preston as co-guest of honor,
even if he did deny it. Mr.. Pres
ton, sartorially and otherwise uncor-
rupted by IA weeks in Hollywood as
technical adviser on the picture, was
given four-star review for excel
lence by Mr.. Capra. But no urging
could induce him to speak. Sec
ond preliminary on the program was
the dinner given for visiting critics,
nearly so of them. at the Press Club
just prior to the premiere. Sole
speech of the occasion was Mr..
Hachten's few words about buses
being at the door, ready to transport
the guests to Constitution Hall.
Consensus among the critics after
the picture was that it will do for
James Stewards stature as an actor
what 'Mr. Deeds Goes to Town
accomplished for Gary Cooper.
Mr.. Capra is like that in making
regulations for his actors. The
luncheon represented sort of
coming-out party for new Senator
Happy Chandler. :. The premiere
was coming-out for Jim Farley
but he's been out before.
Other things: A wire from Hwood
says Dick Powell will arrive in
Washington tomorrow morning, may
be seen by the press at the Carlton
Hotel after breakfast Whose
breakfast? Another wire, this
one from Hardie Meakin, says Rio"
will open at Keith's on Thursday
-. And speaking of Thursday open
ings, Eddie Cantor's engagement
next week will start the Capitol
Theater on a series of them .
Critics are praying in their halting
way that it will work out nicely
for every one concerned It will
keep Friday from being such a fast
day -. Still another wire, the last,
says that Herbert Wilcox, director
OF Nurse Edith Cavell," will not
return to England for war duty after
all . He will return to Hollywood
instead, there to 60 to work on the
production of Irene" And there

from an interpretive standpoint and
one that requires a superlative

Mr.. Stevens "Sonatina" is a work
with Debussy tinge to it in parts

performers. Its style and harmonic
color is made to fit the thought

work is well constructed, while the
development of the idea is never

Although both artists were recalled
several times, it was the young
composer who finally had to accept
alone the enthusiastic appreciation
of his work.
