Hobbies are an expression Of a
mans personality. Sometimes
they are designed to give salts
faction only to the individual.
Frequently they bring pleasure
to others as well.
A hobby DR.. C. Leslie Glenn,
rector of st. Johns Episcopal
Church, Lafayette square, has OF
collecting travel posters falls
into the second classification.
During the years DR.. Glenn
has gathered posters of places
where he has been. Today, at
tractively framed and artistically
placed, some of the pictures
brighten materially the parish
hall near the church on Six
teenth street.
Sixteen posters hang on the
walls of the parish hall. There
are mountain and seaShore
scenes, views of famous churches
and historic buildings, and pic
lures of industrial areas in Eng
land and continental Europe.
Probably the most eye-arrest-
ing poster is the one depicting a
visit of Queen Elizabeth to the
Kings College Chapel in 1864.
The pageantry and color of that
exciting period in England's his
tory has been caught by the art
ist in this single scene.
The st. Johns Church parish
hall, 819 Sixteenth street NV,
is a small cozy structure that
suggests a family atmosphere to
the visitor. There is a warmth
within it's somewhat old-fash-
ioned interior that too many
more modern buildings fail to
capture.
1t was built in 1886 by DR.. Rob-
ert Reyburn as memorial to his
mother, Mrs. S. Jane Langford.
First used as chapel, the build
ing later served as the church S
Sunday School and, more re-
Gently, as the parish hall center.

Laurel (Md.) Presbyterian
Church, where the Potomac
Presbytery met this week, is an
other comparatively small build
ing possessing a charm of its
own.
1t was built in 1901 on the
same site as the original church,
which was erected in 1869.
The interior is particularly in
tereSting. The pulpit is in a cor
ner and the pews are arranged
like an open fan before it. A

The Rev. Clarence T. Nelson,

HOLLYWOOD R - Among the
holiday seasons happieSt news is
the reconciliation of Frank Fay
and his old friend Harvey.
Fay and the pooka--that's a six
foot rabbit, you know-rare friends
from way back. They started out
together in the Mary Chase play
In 1945 and developed fast friend
ship. They remained pals for five
years. record run for any star
and play. Then they went their
separate ways.
81 don't believe III ever play
the show again." be Told me at
the time. 81 think it's a mistake
to become too identified with one
particular role. 1t can hurt your
career"
But actors change their minds.
Fay has signed up for yet another
tour with Harvey" Part of the
reason is the miserable condition
of the legitimate road.
This season is shaping up as one
Of the worst in the history of the
American theater. The legit out.
look hasn't been as black since
the 1936-37 season when the road
was devoid Of shows, except for
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and
Washington.

Showmen have been putting
their heads together for ideas on
how to revitalize the road. They
came up with the notion of sending
Fay around in Harvey" again.
It is considered a sure fire
property.
They convinced me-" said the
bland Fay. $50 did the money.
''But it isn't only commercial.
l get letters every week from peo-
pie who have seen the show and
would love to see it again. Also
from people who missed il and
say they would give anything "a
see Harvey It's wonderful.
Another thing that convinced
me was the fact that we hadn't
drained the possibilities of the
show. When closed in New York,
/ took it out on the road. Mind
you, this was after other compan-
les had already toured all over
with it. Yet / made 81 200 900 on

claimed it was a mistake to play
