Tea Given
In Honor
Of Actors
Press Women Told
OF Stage Players
Life On the Road
By GRETCHEN SMITH.

The vicissitudes OF wartime travel
experienced by "old theater cam
paigners" while playing the road"
were humorously described by For
rest Orr in an informal talk before
members and guests of the News
paper Women's Club yesterday.
Mr.. Orr was one of four members
of the cast of Arsenic and Old
Lace" now playing at the National
who attended the tea given in their
honor at the club headquarters, 1904
Twentieth street NV.
Having just arrived from the
South, where the company played
before audiences as far West as
Texas, Mr.. Orr declared that after
jumping" from one sleeper to an
other over q period Of several days,
sleep becomes an illusion.
Its funny thing the way travel
ers start loud conversations on
sleepers when they hear there are
actors on the train" he said. "Ap-
parently they don't think we need
Sleep"
Didn't Play at Camps.
The speaker laughingly referred
to the immature interurban bus
lines" in parts Of the South where
people seemed to be surprised that
actors didn't come out of cans" and
found 1t necessary to makeup" for
plays and erect scenery.
Mr.. Orr told Of one city where
members OF the audience insisted
on seeing the actors dress for the
part, explaining they "had always
done 80" when plays came to town.
Asked If the company had enter
tanned at any Army camps, Mr.. Orr
said servicemen prefer music and
vaudeville to straight plays" and
explained the difficulties Of produc-
ing such entertainment as that in
which he now appears before large
audiences.
ITO carry the lines before an
audience of several thousands it is
necessary to put up microphones," !"
he commented. 1T is rather difficult
for each player to have a mike
handy to speak a few lines as the
play goes on"
Honor guests with Mr.. Orr were
Laura Hope Crews, Effie Shannon
and Jack Whiting Miss Crews and
Miss Shannon proved as delightful
conversationalists off the stage as
they do in their parts of the genteeJ.
kindly, murderous old ladies in the
play.
Actor Helps to Pass Tea.
Mr.. Whiting, who played for
many years in musical comedies in
London, was a democratic guest,
proving willing helper in passing
tea and cakes
All members of the cast expressed
enjoyment at playing before Wash
tngton audiences. The perform
ances next week will conclude the
theatrical season for them this
year.
Miss Shannon will return for a
rest to her home on Long Island
and Miss Crews will leave for Los
Angeles to spend several weeks in
her Hollywood home before resum-
ing her part in Arsenic and Old
Lace" in New York in August.
Among those attending the tea
were Mrs. D. Buchanan Merryman,
Mrs. Wesley E. Disney, Mrs. Robert
Imbrie, Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Morris,
Mrc r p II Firth Mice Anna
Firth. Mrs. Robert Macmillan, Mrs.
Ernest w. Mcfarland and Earl

bert Hitchcock. Mrs. George Keas-
ley presided at the punch bowl.
