YOURS
Officials Wife to Open Theoter

When the Attorney General
brought william vanden Heuvel
to Washington this last summer
as his special assistant on race
relations, he injected not one but
two live wire types into our town.
. Vibrant young Jean vanden Heu-
vel Immediately fell in love with
Washington life because, she says,
it is loaded with fascinating con-
versationalistS. But she has so
many things stewing in New York
she has to leave town every few
days to look after them.
One Of her ventures is a new
off-Broadway theater she is
starting with Richard Burton's
estranged wife Sybil. The hand
some Welsh platinum blond loves
New York and has been living
there since last spring.
At any rate, she and Jean, in
collaboration with Peter Cook,
one of the stars Of Beyond the
Fringe" John Bird and David
Balding, will open the Establish
ment Theater Co. on November /
in the upstairs of the Strollers
Club. That's on the old Fifty
fourth street site Of Ell Morocco.
Mrs. Burton will do the casting
because she knows British acting
talent from which they will draw
heavily, and is rapidly learning
American talent.
THE THEATER, says Jean, will
seat 1893, will present legitimate
theater, and should not be con-
fused with the two Establishment
cabaret shows that will be put on
nightly in the downstairs of the
Strollers Club for the benefit Of
their nightclub customers.
Just why everybody is suddenly
latching onto the word establish
ment" I wouldn't know, unless it's
guaranteed magic in the box office.
But up until a couple of years ago
it would have been considered
about as appealing title as Gin
stitution."
The off-Broadway theater Is not
the only iron that Mrs. van
den Heuvel has in the fire. She
is reproducing a weekly TV series,
entitled What's Going on Here?",
satlrical take-offs on newscasting,
which has already been sold and
which the brilliant Jonathan Mil
Ter, also of Beyond the Fringe"
will occasionally direct. 1t will
probably start the first Sunday in
October.
And she is one OF the co-chair-
men Of the International Rescue

A place like that would never

they might do their darnedest to

BUT POP GOSPEL, the latest
rage in New York nightclub enter

gospel is what the voters want

A still bigger hit with the con-

place like the Bitter End Cafe in
Greenwich Village where no liquor

ban, Clara Ward and her singing

Junior League to Mark Birthday
With Move to New Quarters

The Junior League of Washing
ton will highlight the commemora-
ton Of its 50th anniversary year
next week end with a two-day cele-
bration of the opening of Lough-
borough House in Georgetown.
The restored buildings will house
the new Junior League Shop, which
is replacing the leagues 2O-year-
old Outgrown Shop.
Two receptions will herald the
opening, one on Saturday and the
second on Sunday. Both will be
held from 4 to 6 pm.
Loughborough House, which COM
prises two buildings, was given to
the league in 1860 by Mr.. and Mrs.
Gordon Gray. 1t is on a lot in old
Georgetown that was first surveyed
in 1851, and is named for Nathan
Loughborough, Government official
and large landowner in Wash
ington.
1t is a believed that Nathan
Loughborough in 1901 built the
house on the left that houses the
new Junior League Shop. The
house on the right was built by
Benjamin Patterson in 1805-1806.
The league has thoroughly reno
waited these buildings and restored
the facades of both houses to con-
form with a picture of them taken
in the 1905, which is thought to be
the way they looked when built.
There are two shops on the first
floor and apartments and offices
above.
Wider Scope
According to Mrs. George H.
Goodrich, president Of the Junior
League, 1.-THE new buildings prom
Use the league an even wider scope
of community service in the years
that lie ahead"
The two receptions will include
at the first friends" of the
league, and at the second league
members and their husbands. At
the latter there will be the formal
dedication ceremonies.
On Saturday the reception will
honor community leaders, the
radio, press, television, business
associates and other friends.
Guides who have been briefed on
the history and layout Of the build
ingS will take the guests through
the houses.
The organization explains that
this party is a special thank you"
