. GLERICS ADJOURN CHURCH CONCLAVE 20,000 Members of Euchar- istic Congress Quit Carthage. Various Tours Under Way. By the Associated Press. CARTHAGE, Tunisia, May 12—The nearly 20,000 clerics and laymen who have been in attendance at the thirtieth Eucharistic Congress of the Roman Catholic Church scattered to the four winds of Christendom today, hot, tired, but happy to have been Two hundred and sixty were aboard the Araguay at 8 p.m. Sunday for Napl Americans will scatter on various tours. | ‘The Rochambeau goes today to Rome with other Americans. Many are going | to the Vatican, where the Pope has promised an audience, and to the “Pas- slon Play” at Oberammergau. Americans | which left | where the Closing Ceremonies Impressive. The closing ceremonies of the con- gress were touching and impressive. More than 100,000 people swarmed the ruins of St. Cyprien Church for the pontifical mass Sunday. Cardinal Le- picter in a brief allocution said that the congress had been a success. He thanked Resident General Manceron for his hospitality. The congress opened last Wednesday. Cardinal Lepicler, who was the papal delegate at the congress, will sail for Italy Tuesday. In Carthage the eity authorities be- | g setting the little town in order. | ndreds of Arab peddlers folded their tents, counted their cash and praised Allah. Carthage had returned to the obscurity it has known for eight centu- Ties. Multitude Gathers on Closing Day. The greatest multitude in the history of Carthage since ancient days gath- ered in this historirc site of Christian- ity for _the closing ceremonies. Chris- tians, Moslems and Jews, flocking in from the nearby city of Tunis, joined the thousands of foreign pilgrims who | have been here since the sessions opened Wednesday. They came to| see—not all could hear—a pontifical | mass celebrated by Cardinal Lepicier, | papal legate, and a great procession in | the afternoon. At least 100,000 persons swarmed | ':bo-t the ruins of St. Cyprien Church | for the pontifical mass. Five thousand | Prench troops formed lines about the ancient walls and pillars to maintain order. ‘Transportation facilities were ped and most of the spectators to go without lunch. “White Fathers” Join in Chant. A choir of White Fathers of Carthage, pumbering 100 voices, sang the Greg- orian chant, while the thousands of sang the responses to the mass. Oardinal_Lepicier, representative of | Pope Pius XI, in a brief allocution de- clared that the thirtieth congréss had been a success and thanked Resident | Gen. Manceron for his hospitality and | the assembled pilgrms for their loyalty to the holy father. U. S. Photographers Busy. A score of American photographers and three talking film operators rushed desperately through the crowd so that audiences in the United States might later see and hear this magnificent pageant and its music. ‘The Americans who made the four- mile march in the closing procession were headed by Edward Kreamer of Baltimore, carrying an American flag. ‘William Lafferty of Canada carried the | Papal flag and Mithael Cuneen of New | York, the French tricolor. | RUNNER OF BLOCKADES IN CIVIL WAR DIES AT 93| Capt. Dudley, Ship’s Master With | Million Miles’ Travel, Was Friend of Tarkington. By the Associated Press. DALLAS, Tex., May 12.—Capt. Ben- jamin Dudley, 93, ship's master for more than 49 ‘years, commander of square riggers on many seas, Oivil War blockade runner and intimate friend of Booth Tarkington, the novelist, has eailed his last ship. He died here yesterday after an {ll- ness of more than a year. Born at Ly- man, Me., Capt. Dudley studied naviga- tion in old Lyman Academy. Receiving his master's papers at the age of 20 years, he immediately éntered the mer- chant marine service. He claimed to have traveled over a million miles and to have circumnavi- gated the globe 60 times. He wandered frequently about the South Sea Islands and was fond of traveling in the in- terior of China. At the outbreak of the Civil War his ship was commandeered by Union forces and he ran several blockades. During the Spanish-American War he com- manded the Army transport St. Mark. For many years he was a neighbor of survivors is a brother, J. 8.

Mrs. Fiske in “The Rivals” A Delight for Last Night Only. ICHARD BRINSLEY SHERI- DAN came to town last night and was in as gay & humor as ever he has been. Stop- D! “for one night only” at the Nation§]l Theater, he disclosed his immortal comedy, “The Rivals” through the medium of a company that made its audience fairly bristle with Mrs. Fiske, resplendently garmented in the feminine frills and foibles of the eight- eenth century, her tongue - lantly tripping over the gram- matical detours of Mrs. Mala- prop, _brought with her the best of her art, which is, need- less to say, per- fection. Nowhere on this green earth is there a more becomingly ridiculous Mrs. Malaprop than the one which Mrs. Fiske interprets. Although ex- panding the original text to the fimits of her own wishes, she makes of the interpolations such soothing tidbits as fall only pleasantly on the anticipatory ear. Indeed, without this amusing side chatter, Mrs. Piske would not be Mrs. Fiske at all. ‘Well may “The Rivals” be studied in and about schools and colleges as the most genial example of what a comedy should be. Last night it really seemed far more youthful than most plays of the present gen= eration. Its lines, although abw Mrs. Fiske. have made no headway against them. The situations were indicative of what any modern playwright might do well to strive for, and the out- come pleasantly suggested that “hope springs eternal.” In other words, this model comedy shows no signs of becoming feeble—and last night it blossomed into the grand- est entertainment that Washington has been privileged to see for some time, One of the strongest reasons for its success is the “Bob Acres” of James T. Powers. As the doughty “rival” whose courage oozes from his finger- tips at the thought of a bullet pass- ing through him, Mr. Powers is com- ically eloquent. So also is George Tawde in the role of the servant David, which trifie he made seem e e —— France this year that the P: assembly plant is operating at maximum capacity.

It seemed, however, that this most recent theatrical effort of George C. Tyler is just about as near perfection as may be. And since, in the words of Mrs. Malaprop, “comparisons are odorous,” what better can one do than leave it quietly at that? E. de 5. M. Gayety Pleases With “Girls a la Carte.” LTHOUGH last week the Gayety Theater celebrated the installa= tion of its new stock company season, providing its patrons with much good fun, it seems as if with “Girls a la Oarte” it has gone and done one better. In fact, if this burlesque <alace ever had a more spirited revue than the one that takes place on its well used boards this week, then Banta Claus never existed in the minds of little children, nor father Volstead in the dreams of the grown-ups. Lola Plerce, of whom much has been said already, gives every indi- cation of reaping loud-throated eulogies for the rest of the Summer. In last night's musical melange she proved that her brunette beauty is in reality “a joy forever"—or for some years to corme, at any rate. She led this troupe of skilled entertainers with a dash that must have pleased the most hard hearted of the audi- ence. Besides her talented gyrations through an evening of good fun, that trio of comic clowns, Goldie, Fryer and De Vine, did much to keep the laughter flowing, and “Tiny” Huff and Babe Almond added their bits engagingly. The fact that Hinda Wassau is looming on next week's horizon should not deter burlesque seekers roduction at this time.

'WO pilano recitals, given Saturday night in the auditorium of the Columbia Heights Christian Church, brought to a close the eighth festival of planoforte music given by the Wash- ington Pianists’ Club, Mrs. Martin A. Morrison, director. A large and appreciative audience assembled to hear the two young per- formers of the evening, Katharine Morrison, pupil of Felian Garzia, ap- pearing for the first time, and Virginia Shull, pupil of La Salle Spier. Each program opened with the re- quired prelude and fugue from “The Well Tempered Clavichord,” in both recitals well played. Miss Morrison followed this by the first two move- ments of Grieg’s none too pianistic “Sonato, Op. 7.” They were pleasingl: done. perhaps, her best number of the eve- ning, Liszt's “Sonetto 123, del Petrarca, Annees de Pelerinage,” and that most popular of Chopin's “Ballades in A Flat.” This she brought to an excellent climax. Her program closed with the brilliant first movement of the Beethoven *‘Con- certo in C Minor,” with Mr. Garzia playing the orchestral part on the second piano. Miss Morrison's playing is characterized by unusual poise for so youthful a performer. It is musical playing with good tone and finish. The second program, by Virginia Shull, was of especial interest, it marked her sixth appearance. was especially commended by the di- rector of the club for having accom- plished the work of these last four years while at the same time carrying a full course at George Washington University. ber was followed by an excellent per: formance of the “G Minor Ballade™ of Chopin.

There was nobility of tone in her impressive “Marche Religleuse” of Guilmant, while the “Largo” of Handel was rich and full in tone and maintained with an andante that was excellent. A “Scherzo” by Becker, from his first sonata, displayed a fluld technique of fine clarity yet subtle quality, while the closing “Sunset Meditation” of Biggs held a fine melody. Miss Athey is or- ganist of Hamline Methodist Church. Miss Soper, one of the younger con- traltos, sang with a rich voice the quite modern “Salutation to the Dawn” of Stevenson to the effective violin obbli- gato of Mr, Rakemann. ‘The vesper rcrvices will be resumed in the Autumn, ..
