making you think that maybe
something is going to happen be-
fore the curtain finally comes down.
She it was who kept the play alive
for two seasons in New York and
palpably she can keep it alive for
as much longer as she desires. That
special kind of magic which enables
her to do with a whisper what most
actresses cannot do az the tops of
their voices gave the play a quality
vastly more exciting tnan it had
any right to deserve.
Miss Wales play, let it be said, is
not the one which played an i'm
poverished week at the same theater
some seven or eight years ago. The
name is the same, but Miss Bergner
took the English version, the one
that ran two seasons in London. 1t
is quite an improvement over the
one We remember, but not enough
to make 1t tolerable without its elfin
star, Sprite who IAN throw ljne
away and have it bounce right back
with meaning quite unrelated to
any intrinsic merit in its writing.
The Mrs. Carroll played by Miss
Bergner is an extremely engaging
creature in her hands. She is lady
in love, vibrantly living MINK wed
to scapegrace painter whose way
ward mind and heart have a ten
dency to make him a puShCver tor
his latest model. 1t is inconceivable
that a woman of such wit and glace
should be unable to hold a husband,
but that is what Miss Wales play
says and one SuppoSeS 1t must have
some reason for saving so. 1t does
not say it convinclngly. however,
nor does it say it with anything like
the terSeneSS one associates with
good theater.
Without going TOO deeply into
Miss Wales plot, it can be said that
the artiSt-huSband is hardly the
type one would consider LrediSposed
toward poisoning his wives. He is
a philanderer, to be sure. but it
seems needlesSly ruthless of him to
resort to violence in di5pUsing of a
woman who clearly is intelligent
enough to release him any time he
decides to ask for his freedom.
Whatever of liveliness the first
act of The Two Mrs CAROLS" has
is the livelineSs Of Miss Bergner.
One is pretty sure, for instance. that
the play is not witty, but she makes
1t seem SO. Her trick of handling
lines as if she were Id libbing is a
wonderful asset to Miss Wales witt
ing and one is pretty sure that the

Hotel Penthouse Dispute
Carried 10 Congress

Dispute over the continued use for
living quarters of a penthouse on
the residential hotel at 2400 Six
teenth street NV. was carried to
Congress yesterday.
Representative Granahan, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania, introduced a
bill to legalize residential use of the
penthouse, which District officials
have contended is a violation of the
building heights law enacted by
Congress in 1910.
The Granahan measure declares
the penthouse was constructed in
1918 land has been used continu-
ously for living quarters" 1t de-
clares the continued use shall not be
restricted nor prohibited by reason
OF any restriction on height of build
ings imposed by or under any pro-
vision of law.
An official of the Office of building
inspector said notice to vacate the
penthouse was served months ago,
but that an extension had been
granted until December since the
tenant had lease running until
that time.

County Democratic State Central
Committee and by the two Mont
gomery County members of the
commission-Vice Chairman 1t. Col
E. Brooke Lee, park commissioner,
and Richard F. Green.
Both recommendations to the

be well versed in the background
and possibilities of the western

Central Committee, said the COM
mission is now considering the
largest series of planning and con-
struction proposals in the history of

to have the general support of county
residents, since it is believed this
would have an effect on the amount
of Federal money that may be ex-
pected for public construction in the
county.

Democrats, emphasized that neither
OF us or any of our friends have had
any political conversations with Mr..
