Wakefield, the beautiful colonial birthplace of George Washington, is | rising from the ashes of the fire which destroyed it a century and a half ago today. Gen. Washington was command- ing Revolutionary armies on Christmas day, 1780, when the disastrous fire razed his home. Today, the work of restoration has progressed to the point where the (oundnllom are in place for its walls to rise ng he eight huge repllces with their v. Loarths furnkhed ample Christmas stockings and Wule log: A Christmas forest of long tradition and large proportions is on the Wake- field lands in_Westmoreland County, near Fredericksburg, Va. Two thousand cedar trees planted by George Wash- ington's father almost two centuries ago catch the snows that fall on that high point of land on Popes Creek, which -empties into the Potomac. Surrounded by its cedar trees, the restored Wakefield will stand through future Yuletides, an ancient Christmas- card scene on a modern landscape. In the nearby woods, plenty of holly grows to wreath the Christmas candles that may gleam in its 10 dormer window: its 12 lower windows, checkered wit small panes. Plenty of mistletoe may b> garnered at hand to grace its quaint chandeliers For historical authenticity, the very bricks of the restored Wakefield will be | reproductions. A kiln like those of old, making bricks by the 1780 process, has been set up at Wakefield. The project is being financed by the Federal Government, to be completed for the George Washington bicentennial in 1932. William Augustine Washington, eon of George's half-brother Augustine, was master of wakcfleld PLAN CHILDREN 'S PARTY Torah Charges to Be Guests at Theater.

HILE it has been undisputed for a long time that there are books in the running brooks and sesmons in stones, it now appears that, in the film ideas of Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, it is also true that there are broad smiles in pistols, hearty laughs in “pine- apples” and the rattle of loud haw -haws in machine guns, ‘Those two ce= lebrities. who are setting the pace on the comic side of the screen, open- ed at R-K-O Kelith's last eve- ning in “Hook, Line and Sink- er,” and their efforts, com- bined with thcse of Dorothy Lee, Ralf Harolde, Jobyna Howland and Natalie Moorhead, made it possible to mingle in the midst of the casualties of gang warfare without being stirred to indignation. In fact, every shot registered a laugh. The more or less inscrutable Wool- sey, who always leaves the impres- sion of being either light-headed or a massive thinker, consumes numer- ous large cigars in the course of the entertainment, and his countenance emits many benevolent glances, ac- cording to custom, while the wise- cracks are plentifully supplied for his use, although his fellow conspirators are not impressed by the humor of the successive occasions and play Robert Woolsey.

A tumble-down hotel in the sub- urbs has been requisitioned and its cellar, used by law-breakers. The munl ‘woman of the story has in- ited the place, runs away from home, and engages, through acci- dental meeting, the two comedians of the story to run the place. By the magic of their touch, they make the place popular with persons who have jewels of great value to deposit in the safe, a plece of furniture which is so widely advertised that it attracts not only the gang domiciled in the cellar, but also a rival gang. All these gentry masquerade as pos- sessors of wealth, and devote much time to finding the combination of the safe. Wheeler and Woolsey m- })enr to be casy marks, despite the t that they listen in on the de- liberations of one of the gangs. With their usual care-free indif- ference to the serious problems of life, the two comedians lightly tread the modern battlefield of racketeers and reach the climax of their ad- venture when, clad in bedtime gar- ments surmounted by dress coats, they enter with zest into a shooting match which brings them a reward for breaking up two gangs lnd a lady assistant. It is good comedy, farce and bur- lesque combined with superaction, and is real entertainment. The cast 1s good throughout, even a dumb ho- tel worker being played by so good an actor as George Marion, The rest of the program includes the musical cartocn comedy, “Krazy JKat," introducing numerous musical | “instruments, and a trip to Holly- wood with views of some players whose names are famili D.
