C., Januaray 24— Representative Albert Johnson of ‘Washington, speaking here last night, at the opening session of the fifth an- nual North Carolina Newspaper Insti- tute, declared that the proposal of the Senate to plo-e $25,000,000 in the hands of Presic -nt Hoover to enforce prohibition should be amended by specifying that a part of the enforce- ment fund be used for deportation of vicious and dangerous alien criminals.

Again, Miss barbaric color in de Falla’s “Danse Rituelle du Feu,” from “El Amor preme artistry of Myra Hess' fingers, Her technique is beyond question and her interpretative power has a magic quality. Her encore was her own ar- rangement of a lovely Bach chorale. Miss d'Aranyi showed an extremely facile technique in her playing, with expert fingering and a bow that could sing with rounded beauty. There were times, however, when the tone color was blurred and harsh; on the other hand, there were moments of exquisite beauty, especially in her encore, the familiar “Air for G String.” Bach. She was accompanied at the p}ano by Mrs Emilia Hawtry Both Miss Hess and Miss d'Aranyi reached supreme helghts in ensemble in Cesar Franck's “Sonata in A Major.” They skillfully avoided inartistic pause for applause between the first and sec- ond movements, playing them without a break, and the brilliancy of the finale succeeded in coming very close to daz. zling even that sophisticated audience. The Brahms sonata, also in A major, which opened the program, had its moments when the two instruments soared to lovely, singing climaxes, but, partly due to confusion of many late- comers and partly to the chill liable to hang over any “first number,” the Brahms was far from reaching the heights achieved by the artists in the Cesar Franck. H. F, AMUSEMENTS DRAMA GUILD—"The Dover Road.” A smooth and skillful performance of A. A. Milne’s “The Dover Road” was given last evening at the McKinley auditorium as the first production of the Community Drama Guild of Wash- ington., The presentation is to be re- peated this evening. A prologue, written for the occasion by Frank Baer, was presented by Maude Howell Smith, with masks designed by Mrs. Henry Hayes. Of that graceful and gracious school of English comedy which is content to concern itself with such of the lighter sides of life as lend themselves to clever dialogue in evening clothes, and which Oscar Wilde and Pinero popularized, while Bernard Shaw introduced a little acid and J. M. Barrie sentimentalized it, “The Dover Road” met a capable inter- pretation by theé members of a cast drafted from several of the separate non-professional movements in Wash- ington. It is a pleasant play, occasion- | ally effervescent, making no demands upon intellectual attention, but techni- cally constructed so as to provide- an entertaining denouement without strain- ing the plot. The first act creaks a bit in getting the characters identified and the situations outlined, the second is bright and Ti¥ely and the third draws in the loose ends and tucks the covers around all the characters for the night, all according to the dramatic Hoyle. ‘The story is briefly that of a wlllthy man with a prankish interest in kee) ing giddy young runaway couples out of unhappy alliances. This he does by imprisoning them in charming sur- roundings for a week (his home, a “sort of hotel,” is on the Dover road en route to the Channel port and France, the haven of romantic indiscretions), giving disillusion its chance to steady the im- petuousness which runaway couples must possess (the philosophy indicates) in order to run away at all. In his role of Deus ex Machina, Latimer is keenly reminiscent of Barrie's Job in “Dear Brutus” and suggestive of phases of St. John Ervine’s “Pigeon.” Denis E. Connell's Latimer was a polished and consistent piece of work, indubitably the center of the action on or off the stage. A tendency to play to the audience, a faint whisper of soliloquy in some of the fat lines, was the only stain upon a calculated and ex- pert performance. It is a good part in capable hands, full of gently ironic quips and sallies “fed” by the other roles. Mr. Connell handled the charac- terization from beginning to end with ease and quiet dramatic sense. A slight quietness beyond quietness in the last act was more the author’s fault than the player's. The role of. Dominic, in the hands of Arthur B. White, who has had pro- fessional dramatic training, met con- to the concentration of aliens in Amer- ica. he declared. stant favor with the audience.

The four young people upon whom Latimer exercised his altruistic fancies (with two new ones coming upon the scene just before the final curtain) were played by ‘Gerald Flood as Leon- ard, Dorethea Lewis as Anne, Dorothy | Crosby as Eustasia and Robert Miller | as_Nicholas. Mr. Flood's work in the second m‘ revealed his matter as farce, in which he scored with the spectators. As a | straight juvenile, his “How_dare you; | this is preporterous” attitude was un impressive, elocutionary, awkward, bm; his comedy sense brought relief to the | more ridiculous sides of an unsympa- thetic role. Miss Lewis and Miss Crosby are both fresh, young and at- | tractive, with good voices, gracefu] presences, and a potentiality for ef- fective work in less superficial parts The dramatic intelligence is there: the seasoning will come. Mr. Miller's Nicholas was youngish, but, at the | same time, graced with savoir faire and | finesse. Among those faithful souls who con- | tributed their services both by standing | and waiting were Harry Westcott, Jack Phelan, Wilma Hathaway Wright and | Jane Lynn as the handsomely attired “staff,” and Leslie Waudby and Betty Ridsdale as the late newcomers. The costumes and settings were ex- cellent, executed by Drama Guild mem- bers, and the lighting conventional but | in good taste.
