A3 L% 3 + GOVERNOR GREETS | BUSINESS WOMEN - Delegates to Federation Ses- "1 slons in Des::Moines Con- sider Offer for Survey. By the Associated Préss. o DES MOINES, July 13~—Women may be leaders in business and pro- fessional life, but delegates to the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs have shown that that does not detract from an interest in modish gowns and stylish chapeaux, ‘The more than 2,000 delegates here forgot business cares last night to enjoy the first social event of the program, the official reception at the fit:;?mu&uol e disap) ice of the pro- fessional air, thepxfl‘m Portias and woman emecutives of ° big' business ‘were wholly feminine, stylishly garbed for the occasion. Nearly three hours were required for all the delegations to file by Gov. John Hamill, who headed the receiving line. It was a strictly social assemblage, made color- ful by the brilliant evening gowns of Qelegates. One.of the first proposals to be laid before the four-day convention of the organization is the offer of the Uni- versity of Michigan to conduct a survey of the status of the business and professional woman in. 1926 to ascertain how far she had attained a parity with man. ‘This survey would compile average incomes of women, the progress made by college-trained women, data on how they attained their positions and on marriage, divorce and homes of ‘woman workers and com] tive statistics disclosing their status With respect to men in similar work. Mrs. Olive Joy Wright of Cleveland, national president, selected by the executive committee to submit the proposal to the convention, predicted authorization of the survey. SOCIETY .

Kapp are spending & short time at the Natural Bridge Hotel, at Natural Bridge, Va. The Soclete des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux will give benefit per- formances -at the Wardman Park ‘Theater tonight and.tomorrow eve- ning, the feature picture being “As ~No Man Has Loved,” a dramatization of “The Man Without a Country.” * AMUSEMENTS NATIONAL—*“The Family Upstairs.” As the title implies, the offefing of the National Players this week is an- other one of those family affairs that turn out to be superlatively successful for the audience. “The Family Upstairs” has the repu- tation of being one of the most suc- cessful stock offerings of the period, and from the way it left the barrier at Steve Cochran’s Theater. last. night it is going to suffer no loss of repu- tation in Washington. Harry Delf, who slugged it “a comedy of American life,” and turned it losq for the world to see, deals with a family that has a marriageable daughter and a mother who has decided that matches may be made in Heaven, but it doesn’t pay to take a chance. Accordingly, when Louise, the ap- pealingly sweet, young thing, ‘brings ‘home her first young man, Mamma. jumps right at his throat with all the subtlety of her. kind and immediately begins coercing him into, marriage. Father, kid brother and sister, and the meighbors are in on the thing be- fore it winds up, as it inevitably must, in a smash. The smash, however, lasts only until the luckless girl and the luckless lad put parents and other relatives in their proper places and jet Heaven complete the job it ‘be- n. €1t entirély too difficult to pick the performer who stood “out over all others last night, but Mrs. Hibbard in the role of the aggressive mother comes very forcefully to mind when one considers the question. The role §s rich in comedy and Mrs. Hibbard played it just broadiy enough to bring out its nice values. Charles Hampden is the father with the rough exterior and the kind heart, who tries to help the daughter, but manages to pull a few blunders that help to make Cupid groggy - before the match is finally allowed to reach & satisfactory climax. Leneta Lane, revealing new. powers as an emotional !actress, is cast as Louise and she does delightfully by it. John Warner 46 very good as her young man, Billy Phelps is the Kkid brother, who is fust like” his mother, and he fairly ‘Jevels in the role. It's the richest fthing he has had in a léng time, but 4t didn’t find his talents at all rusty. Dorothy Tierney makes o very pouty 13.year-old girl part one that her foi- jJowers will enjoy. Rhea Diveley has hut a moment as the dressmaker, but 8t is a fine moment. {{4#The Family Upstairs” is going to un one week.
