D. C. CHILDREN GASP AT “WONDERLAND" Mrs. Coolidge, in Box, Views Antics of “Alice” and Little { i Story Book People. Hundreds of Washington childven st on the edges of their seats in Keith's Theater vesterday morning fascinated by the performance of Lewis Carroll's “Alice in Wonder- land,” @s presented by members of the Jumior League of Washington. Mrs. Coolidge occupied one of the stage boxes, sharing it with friends that in- cluded one very small and very inter ested little girl of four or five years of | age. : The young society girls who form| the Junior League presented the Car roll work in an initial effort to provide wholesome and amusing juvenile en- tertainment and “to_ foster the cul- tural undertakings of the city.” All proceeds will go to the Junior League charities. i 3 “Alice in Wonderland" was given an admirable performance; all the characters were there in costume that were authentic in detail, and the girls showed aptitude in interpreting their different characters. Walter Beck was dramatic coach. and Ross Wheat supplied the costumes and scenery . Frederick Clark directed the orches- tra 4 Mary Hale Good “Alice. Mary Hale was a very good Alice and her voice came through very clear. She acted and looked the part well. Elinor Wilson, as the Red Queen, and Caroline Chamberlain as the White Queen, put real personality into their roles and Helen Gary was a delight- fully frisky white rabbit. Marion h was an_exceedingly realistic door mouse and Eleanor Hard was equally convincing as the slithering caterpillar. The scene of the Grypthon, im- personated by Ellen Grenshaw, and the Mock Turtle, played by Helen 1 | Play “Willie Baxter” I | HOLY TRINITY SCHOOL STUDENTS TO GIVE PLAY ‘Will Present “Seventeen,” by Strauss, was amusingly done and won waves of laughter. The tea table scene, too, aroused much merriment among the little folks. Norvell, Mum- ford was the Mad Hatter and Laura Towne the March Hare. The Duch- ess of the impulsive character and peppery temper was well played by Suzette Dewey, who had a dignified frog footman in the person of Mrs. George Bloomer. Both the Cheshire Cat, played by Helen Robinson, and the Humpty Dumpty of Margaret Eus- tis were ‘behind-scenes” voices as pasteboard semblances were used for the representations. They were very atmospheric, however, and convine- ing. Mrs. Leonard Black represented Lewis Carroll himself. King of Hearts There. In the last a the King of Hearts, Frances McKee; the Queen, Lilia Tuckerman, and the Knave, Anne Devereaux, provided a competent and very good looking trio. The three “‘spade cards” were impersonated by Elizabeth Ives, Elizabeth- Clem and Barbara Hight in competent fashion: Not the least attractive feature of the entertainment was the group of charming young girls and matrons who were the ushers, all wearing variations of the Alice costume, with short skirts, long hair -hanging, caught with huge bows on top, and the girls carrying teddy bears, dolls and other toys. In this group were, Francesca McKenney, chairman: Mary Bradley, Dorothy Bierer, Alice Cutts, Charlotte <Childress, Louise Claytor, Mrs. Robert Crain, Katha- rine Dunlop, Dorothy Hill, Ann Hill, Blizabeth Hume, M Reeve Hoover, Mrs. Cerald Link Maud Mason, Florence Marlatt, Dorothea Morga: Theodore P. Noyes, ney Drew Pearson, Elizabeth ullen, Olive Shir- . Snow, jr., and Between the second and third acts, after the “principals” had been show- ered with floral tributes, Mr. Welch, listed as “The Human Volcano,” en- tertained the audience with balancing acts, little eccentric music on a saw and made many of the little folks gasp in awe as he seemingly swal- lowed flaming torches. e COMMUNJTY GROUPS PLAN PLAY CONTES Centers to Stage One-Act Perform- ances in Two-Day Competition, March 11 and 12. A play contest will be held in the Central High School auditorium March 11 and 12, in which several community centers will present one-act perform- ances under the supervision of the dramatic_section of the Community | gart Center Department of the public schools of the District of Columbia.
