sumably hard-boiled critics have
given some fine impersonations OF
Sir Walter Raleigh. When for In
stance, she asks If she may phone
the next critic to say she is on the
way over, the current critic insists
upon performing that little bit OF
secretarial service for her.
That is not the most startling
thing, however. Her bosses gave
her the impression that 1t would
be fine and traditional of her. to play
hostess at luncheon when, and if
that were convenient. In fine con-
travention of the tradition of the
business, however, the critics have
taken her to luncheon. They also
have We'd with each other to carry
her bag, and perform miscellaneous
porter, waiter and other presumably
menial services.
In fact, If there Is q ny in the
ointment at all, it is merely that
the drama departments are so over
come by Miss Colby that they write
about her instead of her picture
CA picture named "Cover Girl" we
are pretty sure she said)
One of the nice things about
COVERING Washington was that she
was born here and went to Mckinley
High School, where she was regis
tered as Anita Counihan. 1t was
here one night at Georgetown U
dance that it occurred to her, while
watching the other girls snatch all
the students in sight, that she was
not going to be a wallflower.
No decision that we ever heard of
got girl farther.
Surprise department.: The voice at
the other end Of the telephone was
so excited that we did not recog-
nize it.
Say said the voice, do YOU
realize that we have Kathryn Gray
son coming Thursday?"
No, by Jove," we said.
But don't you think that's won-
derful?" asked the voice.
Yes, by Jove," we said.
1t was the Capitol Theater. 1t
turned out. which is very happy to
spring Miss Grayson as a surprise
in Thursdays new program.
Swan song department.: A lit ,
cluster of strange, brittle people
were summoned to the Variety Club
the other day. When they arrived,
there was Art Brown, a man Of
many distinctions of which the most
distinct is that he seems to be able
to keep laundries from starching
his shirts.
To be brief about this" Mr..
Brown began as if in hurry to get
on to something else, you will re-
member that three years ago I went
into the Capitol Theater for three
weeks. I have been there ever since.
On the 18th of February I shall be
there no longer I am full of re-
gret, but I am also full of exhaus-
ton. Three years of doubling in
jobs is a long time"
The audience concurred.
Besides" went on Mr.. Brown, II
own small hunk of the good earth
and am very busy with my VOL ra-
dio show. shall. of course, carry on
with the radio show and as for the
good earth, I shall find out if it will
grow roses"
Even then the years seemed to
be dropping from Mr.. Brown, one
by one. He managed a beam in
spite of the fact that it is little
early for rose culture. In spite.
also, of the fact that he was booked
instantly for a couple of benefit

The kids start rioting after one
of his corny solos. Get that guy

band leader obligingly tells the boys
in the band to give Jack the pitch.
Half q dozen musicians pick Jack
up bodily and heave him onto the

scene.
And then just to clown for the
youngsters, Jack morrows q fiddle

she demonstrated an assortment of

Recreation Council
In Rockville
Looks To Future
Lea d ers In Movement
Pleased With Progress -
Trained People Needed

The Rockville Recreation Coun-
Gil met in the office of Miss Edythe
Turner Monday evening to plan
the expansion Of work being done
by the council to meet the needs
of children of the town for health
full, supervised activity after
school hours, and the need of
working parents for adequate care
of children while parents are at
work.
The meeting was attended by
Park and Planning Commissioner
E. Brooke Lee; Mrs. Mary E.
Lucas, of the Montgomery County
Community Chest; Daryl Shaw,
principal Of the Richard Montgom-
cry High School; Mrs. Lucy Weg-
ner, principal of the Elementary
School; Mrs. Bernard d. Tebbens,
assistant Girl Scout leader; Mrs.
M. d. Spottswood, Of the Rockville
Cooperative Nursery School; Mrs.
Mollie Waters Christie, Mrs. Ed
ward Ashley Bayne, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dalton, Leslie Morgan Able,
Mrs. Leroy Sherman, and Mrs.
Olivia X. Sims.
Col. Lee informed the council
what funds were available from
the Park and Planning Commits
sion. He said it would support all
efforts to meet a community's re-
creational needs "that were well
planned and well administered"
emphasizing that such program
must have trained personnel, the
backing Of parents and organiza-
tons and the active help of boys
and girls themselves.
The program as put over so far
by the Rockville Council Col. Lee
called a remarkably good pro-
gram" and agreed with Mrs. Made
leine Fennel's previous summary of
juvenile needs as need for "a
place TO meet, where the teen
ayers could dance, talk, have a
coke and be convivial under good
and sympathetic lead
ership."
Mrs. Spottswood explained that
the Lanham Act provides funds
for the care of children of nursery
school age "from the time school is
out daily until $3.50 P. M. for six
days a week, and for IL months Of
the year." and pointed out that as
fathers are drafted there will be
more working mothers and the
need for this care will increase.
The needs of the towns colored
children we're also considered.
To get the work going as soon
as possible Mr.. Able, president Of
the Rockville council, appointed the
following pro tenn committees:
Plant and Equipment, Capt. Guy
Jones and Mrs. Tebbins; Staff,
Mrs. Spottswood and Mr.. Shaw;
Finance, Maj. Seifert and Mr..
Program and Coordina-
ton, Mrs. Christie, Mrs. Tebbens
and Mrs. Wegner. These committees
are to meet Friday night at the
home Of Mrs. E. A. Bayne to re-
port.
The greatest difficulty is get
ting trained personnel. Directors
for the recreational work are
needed. Anyone interested in help
ing to work out the program
should apply to Mr.. Leslie NJ.
Able, Rockville. Funds are on
hand TO pay directors.
