The family life provides the
theme and setting for two plays
coming up this week. Beyond this
the two have little in common, how
ever, the first on the schedule be-
ing Gerald Savory's George and
Margaret" to be presented by the
Jewish Community Center's Drama
Workshop, and the other being the
Jarvis Repertory Theater's produc-
ton of Little Women"
George and Margaret" is one OF
those daffy British comedies which,
played with the proper spirit, can
provide a lot of fun. The cast of
the, Drama Workshops production
includes Gertrude Toncich, Jean
Ferris, Robert C. Hart, Stephen
Schoen, Mary Pappas, Irving Cure
witch and Saul Rosenthal.
The group is presenting the COM
edy tonight at Fort Belvoir and the
public showings are scheduled for
tomorrow and Monday nights at
$3.50 o'clock at the Cafritz Audi
forum, Sixteenth and @ streets
NV.
The Jarvis Repertory Theater's
production, new dramatization of
Louisa M. Alcott's Little Women, !"
opens week from tonight at the
Wardman Park Theater and is
scheduled to run through February
%. There will be special matinees
for children on February 16, II
and %.
This is the play, you remember,
during which audiences will cast
ballots in the selection of the girl
to play Eliza Doolittle in the groups
Forthcoming production of "Pygma-
lion" The five girls selected awhile
back to compete for the role-Grace
Pearson, Rosemary Murphy, Joan
Robertson, Tandy Lang and Delice
Dudley-have been cast in Little
Women" in roles of as nearly equal
Importance as possible, that their
talents may fairly be judged.
The cast also will include Mary
Jane Hayes, j. P. Wright, Orville
French, Steve Shurn and 1t. B. P.
Leggett.

gives you the impression that they
ran out long ago and have been re.
peating themselves far too many
times since.

That is depressing thing, but
she has a better reason for wanting
to bury "the body"
She is ambitious to get ahead
with her music and her acting and
it is not too helpful in that direc-
ton to have every one thinking OF
her as merely a shape, no matter
what beautiful shape she might be
in. She would like to have pro-
ducers and directors, at least, think
OF her as having talent, which she
indubitably has. She also would like
them to become aware that she has
rather a striking face, which she
also Individually has.

Miss Macdonald has other am
oitions which are whimsical and ir-
relevant to her career, but none the
less piquant in their way.
One of the things she would like to
do, for instance, is see how she would
look in the Hope diamond. She
does not know why the idea should
have come over her, but it has.
Some one suggested that the cap
ton on a picture of her wearing
the Hope, diamond would read: 1.-THE
body bangles from the Hope dia-
mond"
Il wouldn't care" Miss Mac
Donald said.

The question of the Varga girl
who has just won an 80 Supreme
Court decision in her favor over the
Post Office Department got into the
conversation with Miss Macdonald.
In any other conversation it might
have seemed irrelevant, but in this
instance it did nothing of the kind.
Il knew her." Miss Macdonald
said, rather surprisingly to any one
who had been misled into thinking
the Varga girl was a Pigment of the
artistic imagination.
YES" she went on, Jean Dean

Admiral HalSey's action was an

AS long ago as September, 1915,
Admiral Halsey, describing himself
as IAN old man." announced that he
wanted to step aside in favor of
younger men.
