The first of three roller skating car- | nivals was given last evening in the | Washington Auditorium under the au- spices of a committee of which Mrs. Richard Henry Lynn is chairman. The majority of the skaters were members of the younger circles, although the moth- ers of debutantes and younger married set was also on rollers: The orchestra was stationed on a platform in the cen- | ter of the large basement and a ro] strung between the four center pillars reserving the floor space close to the | orchestra for dancers. The outer por- tion of the floor was used for skating and about the walls were chairs for an admiring and amused “gallery.” The costumes were varied, smart sport sweaters and plaited skirts, more formal afternoon costumes of transparent vel- vet, and dainty evening frocks of chiffon and taffeta, vied among the women, while the men were dressed in equally varied outfits ranging from golf “togs™ to evening clothes.

Gen. | John A. Lejeune, national commandant of the league. Gen. Lejeune regaled the members, some of whom he had served with as a voung lieutenant, with anecdotes of | early days in the corps when it num- bered only 2,000 men and | “They were fine soldiers,” he | Irish were in the majority, there were a {lot of Germans, some Swedes and an | occasional American in the old corps.” | Referring to the loyalty and com- | radeship that characterized the early jeune said that this fine id the foundation or the reputation of the Marines since the Spanish-American War. | Retirement Regretted. | Capt.

Stott of the third | oolice precinct, a veteran Marine of Cen- tral American campaigns, presided as | toastmaster and paid a tribute to Gen | Lejeune, who has been re-elected six times as head of the league. Sincere regret was e: ssed at his retirement as commandan I s given assurances that he g of all the men who had formerly served with him. There were talks, too, by other old- | time Marines. Capt. Stott introduced Sergt. Maj. Charles R, Francis and t. C. E. Mathias, who were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for | bravery in action in the Boxer rebellion; sergt. Vogt, who sounded the call to | commence firing on the battleship Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flagship, at the battle of Manila Bay, and Gunnezy Sergt. Edwin W. Thomason, who wi responsible for the first shot fired frc# the battleship Indiana at Santiago. Maj. Joseph C. Fegan, who served a@! national adjutant of the league for a period of four years, also was a speaker. Others who were present were Capt. Edward A. Craig, aide to Gen. Lejeune; Willard L.

An informal entertainment had been provided for the guests, after which the younger people indulged in danc- ing. There were songs by Quartermas- ter Sergt. Frank W.

Posters, suitably illustrated, will tell of the evils of the liquor traffic and the benefits of prohi- bition, as seen by .the Govern- ment.

Barrie's conversations on the stage and ! in none is this more true than in his exquisite play “A Kiss for Cinderella,” given by the Junior Theater at Ward- man Park this week end, with final performances this afternoon and eve- ning. To children it brings fairyland to life; to older folks, a whimsical mix- | ture of truth and fancy that only Barrie could have created. The Junior Theater has scored one of its finest achievements in this play, so closely knit into the characters of the play are the actors of the little cast. Shirley Horton as Cinderella fulfills all that she ha” promised in early appearances in Bair.: productions. She is one of the chosen few well suited to the will-o’-the wisp heroines of the English play-wright. As Cinderella, she comes into her own. Henry Fonda exhibits excellent technique in the role of the policeman, while Kent Smith is equally good as Mr. Bedie. Nor should the performance of Mason Hardy and Miss Conway, each of whom assumed dual roles, be over- looked. As the King and Queen in Cinderella’s dream ball their work was especially effective. Leslie Kent and Peyton Thorne also were good. Five curtain calls after the drop of the final curtain last night testified to the appreciation of the audience. | BRIGHTON HOTEL 2123 California Street N.W.
