This is the first outside play ever included in the regular subscription list of the Theater Guild.

The huge spectacle will be presented in a specially con- structed building now being completed in the square bounded by New Jersey and Louisiana avenues, C and D streets. iew of the great painting and ry collection of 246 small made by the same artists as v toiled from 1914 to 1918, is being over studies, th | arranged for the benefit of war vet- erans, Government officials, members of the diplomatic corps, artists and the press, and will be held on Monday eve- ning, July 11, when the admission will ve by invitation only. On the following cay the presentation will be open to the public under the direction of Harry M. Crandall, well known theater man, who, with his associates, purchased the painting and its accoutrement outright, | erected a special building for it and is now_installing the huge canvas in its Washington home. “Le Panthreon de la Guerre” was painted by French artists of note who able, because of advanced years or physical disability, to bear arms for their country in the World War. Twenty-eight leading painters, headed by Pierre Carricr-Belleuse, who still survives, and the late Francois Gorguet, led in the work that required the as- sistance of 122 additional painters as the task proceeded. The battlefields of France, as they appeared during the conflict, are spread out as far as the eye can reach and are geographically correct. 'The foreground is filled by a dazzling assemblage of 6,000 world- famed individuals, painted mainly from iife, embracing the leadership of the allies, nation by nation. and immor- talizing the heroes, both men and women, who rendered conspicuous serv- ice during that terrible struggle. President Poincare of France, in the presence of noted statesmen and lead- ing military officers of that country. officially opened the “Pantheon de la Guerre” to the public in Paris on No vember 19, 1918. There were present on that occasion official representatives of every country that fought with the allies during the war. The main painting measures 402 feet in length, or circumference, and is 45 feet high, weighing, when packed in the specially built box in which it was brought to America, 12'; tons. The canvas_contains 18,000 square feet of nainted surface and has been pro- nounced one of the finest compositions ever made. It is heralded as “teach ing the value of peace while describing the costs of war.” The presentation will remain in Washington until the opening of the | World Fair in Chicago next year. when it will be taken there to be viewed by the miilions of persons expected to at- tend that international event. Perfect Shot Kills Golfer. Making a perfect golf approach shot caused the death at Tampico, Mexico, recently of M. Bartram, accountant of the Tampico Light & Power Co. The game was being played on a Tampico course. As the ball described a perfect arc toward the cup, Bartram watched it for a second in amazement, leaped into the air, uttered a single exclama- tion, and fell dead. “Ar.urs "OU"“',N'!‘% Qinal Weck ShArnual SPRING & SUMMER.

With the approach of the training camp period, and with tne annual in- spections over, drills of the local Na- tional Guard are planned for the prepa- ration of the troops for their field work. So far as known now, the governmental economy move has had no effect on the plans for the training, although the Naval Reserve annual training cruises have been cancelled this year because of the necessity of saving funds. Recruiting has been practically halt- ed in the local guard, that is for men who have never had any military train- ing, as the War Department for sev- eral years has been discouraging new enlistments just prior to camp, because of the effect it has on the carrying out of a full training program for the en- listed personnel. When recruits were enlisted just prior to the camp period, it was usually necessary after they had gone into camp to detach the new men together with a sufficient number of the old men for instructors and put them in one group, to the end that tne companies were kept from carrying out the full training program efficien: = —— Roxy and Radio City.

Upon inquiry at the Navy Depariment, it appears there is no real reason for expecting any such violence of general application, as it is proposed to make the provisions effective only during the fiscal year 1933-34. The present law provides that officers promoted in due course shall be entitled to the pay of the next higher grade from the date stated in the commission, and if this date is prior to July 1. it is & umed that the present law will gov- ern in these cases. Those adversely af- fected will constitute a group that be- come due for promotion after the be- ginning of the next fiscal year. There are some 60 or 65 officers now being examined for promotion to the grades of lieutenant commander and lieuten- ant, all of whom are due for promotion prior to July 1. Eight officers have completed the Navy ordnance post-graduate course at the Chemical Warfare School, Edge- wood Arsenal, Md. They are: Lieuts. Edward C. Ewen and Harold D. Baker and Lieuts.

Cole- man became chief of finance a few weeks ago there have been few changes among the commissioned personnel of his office, but some are destined in the present year by the requirement of change in stations. One of the new as- signments to duty include Capt. A. O. ‘Walsh, for a time executive officer, who has assumed the responsible duties of personnel officer, succeeding Lieut. Col. Matt C. Bristol, now on leave of ab- sence, but who is destined to report for duty at Fort Sam Houston, Tex. Capt. F. J. Keelty has become, temporarily, executive officer after a tour of duty rendered in connection with the inter- departmental pay board research and report. Beginning July 1, the War Depart- ment will issue one new khaki-colored cotton uniform to all troops of the Reg- ular Army in the United States where cotton uniforms are worn. These uni- forms are of the new type of material which has been subjected to long and exhaustive tests for shrinkage and fad- 11 require- ments as to uniformity in appearance, long wear and general utility. ble fo gard Falls on Stairs Kill 800.

N, are being sent out to the various dis- trict commandants for distribution to Reserve organizations. The manual contajns much information for Reserve officers, including detalls of ship rou- tine, information about the Navy and Reserve cruises, data concerning ves- sels, etc. Only 10 copies have been allotted to the local Reserve, one for the District headquarters, two for each division, in- | cluding the aviation division, and one to the communication Reserve. How- ever, an announcement from the Navy Department says that copies may be purchased from the superintendent of documents for $1.25 each. The controller general of the United States has ruled that the period of training duty of an enlisted man in the Naval Reserve, taken ill while on such duty, cannot be extended so as to permit him to receive hospital treat- ment at Government expense, it has been announced. “Obviously,” says a statement from the controller gene: contained in the department’s circular announcing the ruling, “such a continuation of active duty beyond the period of training duty was inoperative and without ef- fect to accomplish a transfer of ex- penses for medical treatment after Au- gust 8, 1931, to the Government in di- rect and specific violation of the limi- tations contained in the statute. The active duty contemplated is the per- formance of the ordinary routine and usual duty expected of a Naval Reserv- ist and as a condition precedent to {which he is required to pass a physical exaraination showing his fitness to per- form such duties.” Records ferring to the local Reserve Fred L.

FOUR young Negroes from Cincinnati opened “cold” on a Columbia Before the program was half finished every listener in the huge New York studio knew that those colored boys were the “hottest” outfit to come to radio in many Wabash moons. There are four of them, John, Herbert, Harry and Donald. John is the bass, tuba and third trumpet—and plays the only real instrument in the quartet, a mail order guitar. Herbert sings second trumpet and Harry does first trumpet. These boys started singing in their father's barber shop. Their idea of | imitating band instruments came when John was offered a job playing a cornet in a colored band, but, not having a cornet, he offered to imitate one. The offer was rejected, but it gave John an idea. He and his brothers learned harmonies and imitations and pennies and nickels dropped around their feet whenever they sang and played. ‘Then the local Opera House was the next step and then their chance on the air.
