PREPARE GARDENS FOR PILGRIMAGE Georgetown Beauty Spots Are Being Groomed for Public Viewing. BY GRETCHEN S, SMITH. With but three days remaining be- fore the official opening of the George- town gardens to the public, a great bus- tle of preparedness is apparent in these let, blossom-filled retreats which will ve to lovers of the outdoors the pos- 8ibility of enjoying the beauties of na-1 ture within the small confines of a city Wall. Lawn mowers have been clipping @#fassy spaces into velvet-like smooth- Ress, trees have been pruned and flower beds freshened, and from the Lilliputian &r:en behind the “doll house“ of rge Dubois on Thirtieth street to the spacious grounds of Mrs. C. G. Warden on S street all has been placed in readiness for the reception of the gar- den pilgrims on Wednesday. After crossing the Dumbarton Bridge nto Georgetown, the first garden which s reached is that of Belleview, the home of Congressman and Mrs. Charles A. Eaton. The Eatons will be out of town on Georgetown garden but have hospitably placed their garden at the service of the committee in charge of the pilgrimage. Almost next door to Belleview is the home of Mrs. Frank S. Bright, who has developed one of those thtful “smaller gardens” at the rear of her house. A birds’ bath erected in the center of the yard has been artisti- cally surroungled with iris and tulips. One of the most attractive features of MRS. MAUD SLOCUM MOROSS Is a candidate for the Republican | nomination for Representative from | Michigan's sixth district. —Associated Press Photo. | PUBLIC T0 WITNESS| 1930 PASSION PLAY THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Although com- paratively small, the Ihlder garden pos- sesses numerous attractive features, in- cluding a rock-inclosed goldfish pool and rose garden on the side of the house, the well designed beds of which are inclosed by baby boxwood. No garden in Georgetown will show more effectively what labor and love can do than that of Miss Lucy Bentley, who, rising some days as early as 5 o'clock, has with her own hands plnnt- ed every flower on her place, spaded the soll of her flower beds and mowed nnd watered the grass of her lawn. Miss Benuc{l garden is & riot of color at and makes a lovely sight viewed m the small back veranda h above. One does not feel a bit sorry for the wall flowers growing in the crevices of Miss Bentley's stone wall, as they seem to enjoy the pleasure which A beauty gives to those who stand in the garden below. Two Fine Holly Trees. After leaving Miss Bentley's garden, i you walk a short distance over to ‘Thirtieth street, you will see in the garden of Miss Bertha Looker two of the finest holly trees in-Georgetown. Both trees are gigantic in size, and one presents the unusual sight of a mass of red berries, which, under a May sun, amid a profugion of Spring flowers, makes one wonder if the old tree has mixed its seasons. The second of the holly trees, we are told, was brought from his_ eun'.hel’ohncmlny Dr. Tyler, a famous ph, old Georgetown, the orij ll uwner of Miss Looker's home. tree has thrived on two ln.n!pllnfln Six generation; of the same lm& ‘have enjoyed the beauties of Mrs. Edith A. Macartney’s garden at the side of the rear of her historical old home on Dumbarton avenue, which over a hun- dred years ago, was built by her great grandfather, Henry Foxhall, prominent in the annals of Georgetown early resi- dents. ' Over 50 different .varieties of flowers and shrubs will be seen in Mrs. Macartney's garden, although many will not be in blossom for the opening on ‘Wednesday. It is to be particularly re- | gretted that the fine hollyhocks which grow in profusion at the rear of the| gjaze, garden will not come to flower until next month, as we are told that their beauty of color is unsurpassed by any flower in the yard. A moss rose, planted by one of Mrs. Macartney's ancestors | grer a century ago, sl thrives and | bears blossoms in as great profusion as 1t did In the days of its youth. Proceeds for Child Weifare. Somehow it seems most appropriate that the beauty of the flowers and the peace of the Georgetown gardens should be throwi open to the public for ; the sake of little children. For that is the purpose of this year's Georgetown len day. The proceeds obtained from the sale of tickets purchased for a visit to the gardens is to be used by * the Georgetown Child Welfare Council, of which Mrs. R. F. Whitehead is chair- man, for work among the needy smaller children of Georgetown. While there are schools and societies which care for and guard the welfare of children of school age, the little brothers and sisters too young to attend kindergarten or | even to go to the playgrounds a few | blocks away are frequently sorely neg- | lected. Mothers with large families, { trying to solve the hopeless problem of | making 10 cents cover $1 of expenses, have little time to look after the recre- ation of 3-year-old Susie or Jimmie. In a small, dark apartment, or out in the dangerous streets Susie and Jimmie must seek their play and amuse them- selves as best they can, while older brothers and sisters are in school and mother is doing the family washing or | caring for the little baby. It is the aim | and purpose of the Child Welfare Coun- | cil to provide a salaried welfare worker for the little 3 and 4 year olds of} Georgetown's poor and needy, should the funds derived from the garden pil- grimage prove sufficient to pay the sal- ary of the worker. Should rain fall upon the day set aside for the opening of the Georgetown gardens, the mlgflm?e will be post- poned until the day following. Those desiring to_enjoy the beauty of these old gardens, as well as assist in the work of a worthy cause, will be able to purchase tickets at the Mayflower Hotel, at which time they will be provided with a list giving the names and ad- dresses of the gardens to be exhibited. In addition to the 20 gardens which will be exhibited, a number of paintings of gardens, homestead portraiture, screens and over mantel murals, the work of Mabel Hunt Jackson, will be shown at the home of Mrs. B. M. Meyer, 3327 P street. The tickets for entrance 1o the gardens will include the exhibition | of p-lmmgs as well. | DEATH | GIVEN SLAYER . OF FLORIDA SHERIFF| By the Assoclated Press. BLOUNTSTOWN, Fla., May 10.—J. T. Blackwell, convicted of first degree mur- der in Circuit Court here for the killing of Sheriff C. D. Clark of Calhoun County, was sentenced yesterday to die i at Oberammergau. By the Associated Press. OBERAMMERGAU, Germany, May 10.—The 1830 version of the famous Oberammergau Passion Play, which was shown to an invited group amid cold and rainy weather Thursday night, will | § be given its first public performance tomorrow. Age has made some changes in the cast of this historic production, pre- sented annually by pious villagers who live the lives of their revered Biblical characters and earn their livings by the sale of wood ca Lang Too Old for Part. ‘The beloved Anton Lang, who for three decades played the exacting role of the Savior, now is too old to stand the rigors of a scene like that of the crucifixion, and has given way to an- other member of the Lang family, Alois. Anton still takes part in the tableaux and prologues, however, and Thursday night insisted on playing in the un- favorable weather despite a hoarseness of the day before. i The decennial Passion Play repre- sented the fulfillment of a vow made at a time of extreme suffering. In 1632 the “terrible plague” Taged in the val- leys of the Loisach and the Ammer. Eighty-four persons died in Oberam- mergau alone in less than a year. * This was an appalling percentage for a vil- | lage numbering only 600 inhabitants | and nobody could foresee the end of the pestilence. Plague Ends With Vow. It was then that the village elders went to their church and vowed to hold a passion play every 10 years from then on if God would hear their prayers and | banish the uc&m ttht’t a villager died | of the plague after that vow. Thusp while the oldest texts of the Passion Play date back to the fifteenth century, it was not until 1634 that it became a holy obligation upon the com- munity. From then on the play became the chief aspiration of the Oberammergau folk. A villager holds there is no greater honor than to be chosen for a part in the production and to hold it throughout the )EIH life permits him. /| GUARD UNIT MOBILIZED { *T0 FIGHT FOREST FIRE| | Driven by Stiff Wind, Threatens Palatial Summer Estates in Maine.
