The annual tea and linen shower for | the benefit of Sibley Memorial Hospital From t_he Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. National Players’ Premiere Unmistakably Satisfactory. ANAGER STEVE COCH- RAN'S company of thes- plans, known seasonally as the National Theater Players, has all the ear- marks of prosperity. It has youth, beauty and such a burst of ability as threatens to make it seem ndt a stock company at all. In fact, at last night's gala opening, at THE 'EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, will be more advantageously dis- played in future productions, as will oberta Beatty, a clever actress, who somehow seemed to swallow her voice in the short role allotted her. Much should be said for Raymond Bramley, who made his local bow last night and who won especially deserved laurels; for Forrest Orr, & splendid actor, who spoke his"verses “trippingly”; for the others who knitted the play together with sur- prising agility. “Songland’s Romance,” American Legion Show, Delights. (CONTINUOUS melody issued from the stage of the Washington Auditorium last evening as the large company of singers and dancers as- sembled by Lieut. Charles Riemer for his minstrel operetta revue, “Song- land's Romance,” entertained under the auspices of Vincent B. Costello Post of the American Legion. Soloists of ability and a chorus so well trained that its contribution gave new distinction to famous songs were on 'the program, which reached its climax in the dance figures given by the group from the Washingion branch of the Denishawn studios under the direction of Marian Chace and Lester Shafer. The whole range of song master- pleces was presented by the minstrel group, under William E. Marshall as rection of Lieut. Riemer. There were incidental contributions by the Cos- tello Post Drum and Bugle Corps. Excellent dance numbers were al given by the Hayden group and the Lou Langlotz dancers. The enter- tainment opened with Riemer’s “Mili- tary March,” led by the composer. The introduction of the Denishawn dancers presented a picture which had the stage merit of filling the eye. Coming at the climax of the second act, the colorful changes gave a continuity of beautiful pictures. The freshness and youth of the girls ‘and boys who participated gave verve, spontaneity and keenness of line to the dance. Beauty marked the ac- tion as the girls were swung through the lively figures of a Strauss waltz by three dashing young hussars. The choreography* of the dance was arranged by Miss Chace and Mr, APRIL 17, 1931 nians, reached a new height in last. evening’s performance. The orches- tra was under the special direction of George Cornwall during this num- ber. ‘The minstrel act of the show was made effective by the special light- g effects in the hands of the rus, as they emphasized the more notable song numbers, and there was an abundance of comedy from the end men. The latter partici- pated in the song numbers. They were Alpert A. Stern, Thomas Mur- ray, Edward Morris, Terell A. Pol terfield, Moses Herzog, Joseply We! burger, Charles Plunkett, James Lynch, Earnest Littleton, George Warthen, Bernard H. Fishgrund and L. P. Gilstrap. Minstrel soloists were Bernard H.

She strolled into it. however, with not a sign of flinching, immaculately attired, and took the burden of more than half the play on her shoulders with acting that was not just good —but subtly clever, as well. g Miss Lane is admirably equipped for her responsibilities as chief feminine “menace” during the sea- son's run. Her acting has that touch of sophistication which perhaps one or two theatrical ladies on this vard have lacked. And there 4> doubt that when such a %5 “Let Us Be Gay” calls for her to have all the gentlemen on a week end hou-e party bobbing up and down at her feet, she can more Associat'on, will ser 3 to 5 c'clock, while the McKinley High School Orchestra, Dore Walton con- ducting, will play during the afternoon.

Rover and the Metropolitan Police Department from molesting David J. White in main- taining automatic mint-vending ma- chines possessing a passibility of chance. ‘White had sought an injunction on the theory.that his device was simply a slot machifie. The Government, through former Assistant United States Attorney Neil Burkinshaw, opposed this view and contended that the vending aspect of | the macnine was incidental and the | “gambling” fcature paramount. The device emifted brass disks about the siz» | of a nickel, which, the Government | claimed, were susceptible of use in tele- | phone bookhs.
