Ethel Barrymore at IS

One reason why Ethel Barrymore per-
mitted formal celebration OF her 18TH
birthday anniversary undoubtedly was that
she knows very well that she neither looks
anything like IS, nor follows the standard
pattern of behavior expected Of people who
do. The First Lady of the American Stage
still is young in spirit.
But it is true that she was born August
IS, 1879. Her professional debut occurred
when she was IA and she was an acknowl-
edged star when she was 81. Since then
she has been history in terms of unforget-
table performances in leading roles The
list of her successes includes: "The Second
Mrs Tanqueray," School for Scandal" !"
1.-THE Constant Wife," LADY of the Camel
HAS," "The Twelve Pound Look "Declas-
see," 1.-THE Corn Is Green" "None But the
Lonely Heart" "L'Aiglon," "Clair de Lune,"
"A Dolls House." 1.-THE Silver Box" "Scar-
let Sister Mary" "The Kingdom of God,"
'Whiteoaks," 1.-THE Awakening of Helena
Ritchie," "Alice-Sit-by- -the-Fire," "Embez-
zled Heaven" Farm of Three Echoes"
Emma, McChesney & Co., ''The Joyous
Season" and, Of course, Hamlet" with
Walter Hampden). No other actress OF her
time has excelled her in the mastery of
great parts. She is the top player OF the
age on the diStaff side.
Miss Barrymore, however, does not
limit her talents or her activities to the
stage. Her interests embrace music, litera-
ture, sports, politics and religion. She has
been an excellent mother. Her home at
Mamaroneck, New York, is real home.
Five years ago she was called away from 1t
to attend national celebration of her at
tainment of three score and ten. In 1854
there was less "fuss'-at her request. But
her public has not been neglectful. She
still is working, and her friends still are
loyal.

Twas amid much cheering,
yelling, and with many crossed
fingers, suspect, that the Little
Bowling League of teen-aged
boys from the Wheaton-Glenmont
area wound up it's season on a
most dramatic note on Wednes-
day night of last week.
Going into the last match, the
Wildcats, in first place, were
playing the Sophs in second
place. The Wildcats were two
games ahead for the season
(first place has been traded back
and forth between the two teams
during the past couple of
Anonths). The Sophs won the two
regular games of play, thus ty-
ing the two teams for first place.
Then the Sophs won the playoff-
thus winning the League competi-
ton.
On the Sophs were Buster Cad
bois, Jim Harr, Peter Ragland,
Richard Turner, and Jim Conk-
lin. Playing for the Wildcats were
Jimmy Moreland, Tom Cunning
ham, Ricky Tinsman, and lad
named Flagg whose first name
l don't have. Jim Particle also
frequently played for the Wild
cats.
On the way into the final
match, Dan Bradshaw of the
Hornets was leading the League
with a 92.15 average, with NC
Fadden, also of the Hornets, in
second place with an 1894 aver
age. But at the end of play, Nc.
Fadden-for the first time this
Season-paSsed Bradshaw, and
wound up with a 91.95 average,
as against 91.31 for Bradshaw.
Dan Bradshaw, however, took
high honor for high game, with
the 121 game he rolled. Richard
. Thompson, of the Hornets, garn-
erred the most marks for the sea-
son.
An average of 81 boys each
week participated in the League
which started on December 8. AL.
together, fifty boys participated
during the season. The matches
were played at the Kensington
Bowling Alleys. 1t is hoped that
an even bigger league may be
gotten underway next season.
The boys have expressed regrets
that this season is ended-and
some even wondered if it couldn't
go on all year round.
Helping to defray the expenses
for this experimental League
partial payment for bowling for
the boys and trophies at the end
of the season-were the Connect
cut Avenue Estates Citizens AS
sociation, the Glenmont Hills
Citizens Association, the Glen
mont & Vicinity Citizens Associa-
ton, and number of individuals.

League and kept the boys on their

Darrs, I'm sure they had a grand
time.
We have had a great deal of
sadness in our household. Mama
Marcus, as 1 wrote, is in the hos
pital slowly recovering from a
broken leg suffered when she
fell here at home A week after
the accident, Papa Marcus had
a stroke, and was taken, too, to
the hospital. Papa died last week
and was laid to rest at Beth Sho-
lom Cemetery last Friday.
Papa was the one who took
baby Susan for a walk in the
Stroller-to see the "boW-WoWs" +,
and the kiddies, and the cars and
big trucks on Georgia Avenue.
He was the one who sawed the
wood for the fireplace, and who,
believe it or not, washed the dish
eS. (The other men-folk dry and
put away. He was the one who
built the tool shed, the Saw-horse,
put the floor above the garage,
with rung ladder to reach the
storage space. (This is the lad
der that Butch, the Marcus cat
climbS-and we find he doesn't
actually use the rungs entirely,
but uses a rung for one front
and back foot, and the rung sup
port for the other). Papa dug
up over twenty-five stumps, and
afeW weeks ago sawed out the
holes for our strawberry barrel
all this at an age well over sew
enty-five.
Papa wasn't fast at whatever
he did, but he was thorough
and if he mended something, the
article would give way at any
other place, before the mended
spot gave out. He was quiet and
unassuming-and Mama watched
over him like a hen with her
favorite chick. Her great regret
was that she was unable to at
tend the funeral-which was held
while she, herself, was undergo
ing a prolonged operation to get
her leg in working order.
Mama will be home with us
before long, we expect, but she
will be in cast for some time
to come. So any friends reading
this, who would like to stop by
and see her are cordially invited
