JUNE 21 1933. NEW AMATEUR GROUP IN A THRILL PLAY Theatercraft Gives| I “Shadow Woman” I Successfully. Theatercraft, Washington's newest ' | dramatic group, last night presented | “Shadow Woman.” written and directed | by Hall Hopper, local playwright. This | | group, sponsored by the Woman's In- | ternational Legaue, will bring much | Hollywood in the Fall to appear in his | a stage performance with a perform- | deserved attention in its productions in | stage production of “The Lake.” This| play, written by Dorothy Massingham | and Murray MacDonald, was performed recently in London and is said to have been cordially re- ceived. Miss Hepburn thus automatically climbs to the top of theatrical ac- | complishment. To ] | be young and | good-looking and " | an important [T member of Holly- wood is one thing, but to be young and good-looking and wanted on Broadway and be willing to return to Broadway IS Katherine Hepburn another., It is a known fact that lifé along merry Malibu Beach and in and around | the hinterlands of Hollywood is more; agreeable than amid the toothpick | buildings of Manhattan. No less a person than Leslie Howard has told us that it is a joy to be able to take his boys (he has two), for| jaunts up In the mountains or duck them in the iced, blue waters of the Pacific. “Life in Hollywood,” said the ebulient Polly Moran on another occasion, “is one long song.” And even Miss Ethel Barrymore has admitted | to us that the reason brothers Jack and Lionel refuse tempting stage offers 35 because they are living such a pleas- ant existence in the now famed Mae West_country. ‘Therefore it is & to- hear | ance on the screen? any one to anything? Why compare | Why suggest | | that the films aren’t as old as their| flflsii presentation. grease-paint forbears? Why mention the stage at all? * K ok X < ITH this sort of attitude, it is obvious that Miss Hepburn's Te- | turn to the stage will not be shouted | about in film circles. We believe. how- | ever, that Hollywood is actually no | longer afraid of Broadway—there is no | reason for it to be—and that the gen- | tlemen who are a bit timid about com- parisons between stage and screen are in the minority. After all, the stage is now feeding the cinema. Only yesterday we got a letter from one of the leading film companies ; apropos a young person who hoped to crash the films. “Sorry,” wrote the film executive, “but we do not make tests of people who have had no stage training these days.” No stage training—no film career. The one is necessary to the other. There- fore, why bite off the ear of one when it is essential to the wellbeing of the other? Nevertheless, it is a fact that when you say that you do not believe a cer- tain picture makes as much sense as did its stage ancestor, certain film poten- tates growl. And if you state that, say, an Alice Brady, is not so beneficial to the cast of “When Ladies Meet” as was Miss Byington in the original stage production, the walls shake and film kings blister the air with their sorrows. * kX x Miss Hepburn is one player, however, whom the films should brag about.

(Who, for in- stance, pounded so impolitely on the door at the end of the second act?) . And built as it is around a beautiful victim of amnesia, who sees featureless | faces and tries on two occasions to kill | the artist who has befriended her, it ! does seem a bit illogical to leave this | same artist happily entwined in herl arms without ever having cleared her killing complex nor her amnesia, and the artist still in as much danger of being killed as before. This_amnesia victim, as played by Helen Shields (she pierced the evening with many potentially blood-curdling screams) is a very convincing character, | and leaves one with the impression that | her company might, on occasions, be very dangerous. The artist, Kenneth Basil. who befriended the unfortunate | victim and fell in love with her, is a character of strength in the calm hands of John Sheilie. Mr. Hopper, the au- thor, also appears in the play in a | minor role, along with Edward Finla; son, Frences Storrs, Ted Tenley, Virginia Weeks and Sally Thornley, who make their appearances only in the second | act, in that weird dinner party inter- rupted by so mank shrieks from Miss Shields. Finding himself between choosing the love of this mad woman, who may or may not be a murderess (Mr. Hopper’s evidence is very convincing), or that of a former model, Jo Merideth (played in a deep, booming voice by Clare Sar- gent), Kenneth Basil finds his plight a desperate one. This is cleared in the end by a phone call from Detective Wells (Donald A. Bolton), explaining that he had found the woman who murdered old Mr. Grayson and, there- fore, Myrna was cleared of all suspicion. On the whole, ‘Shadow Woman” was | a very exciting play, staged in an excel- lent manner. The technical staff for the play included George Finger, stage manager; Katherine Werneke, art di- rector; Mrs. Daniel Partridge, proper- ties, and Charles Wire, music. They are to be credited with an exceptional stage setting. J.N. ——e BAND CONCERTS. By the United States Marine Band | this evening at the United States Capi- tol at 7:30 o'clock.

Mrs. Routt Johnson Manning pre- | sented a group of her pupils in “An Hour of Music” last night at the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church, Co- lumbia road, near Fourteenth street. Constance Russell, responding to pre- vious requests, repeated the “Moonlight Sonata,” which was perhaps the out- standing feature of the evening. ‘Two 4 and 6 year old pupils created much interest with 2 dual performance, Joan Alvord with her floral offerings to Marjorie Robinson and Harrie Borjes | for good work in the juvenile depart- ment, and Betty Alvord’s three first- grade pieces with her “surprise” ca- denza! The fine shading and expres- sion of Darragh Nagle’s “A Summer Night” were most noteworthy. Another advanced pupil gave a novel interpreta. tion of Schumann’s lovely “Nachstuck.” Constance Russell concluded the pro- gram with a group of Chopin num- bers—“Nocturne,” “Butterfly,” “Etude,” | “Black-Key Etude” and “B Flat Minor Scherzo.” . STUDIO RECITAL. Georgla E. Miller presented a group of pupils last evening in her studio, at 1652 Newton street, when they were | assisted by Marion McCarthy, soprano. “The program, which included works of Each, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Rach- maninoff, Liszt and Chopin, was given by Elinor Webb, Margaret Loane and Grorge Cornwell.

Former Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo of Mississippi. who yesterday accepted an appointment by Secretary of Agricul- ture Wallace to the stafl of the Farm Adjustment Administration. described his new job as that of “advisory coun- cilor” to the administrators of the farm act. ‘The administrators in a formal an- nouncement :aid Bilbo would have charge of “assembling current informa- tion record for the adjustment admini tration from news. magazine and other published sources.” “It will not be a job clipping news- papers, I assure you,” Bilbo said. “I may subscribe to some service to pre vide clippings My main activity w! 1 be to advise administrators of the act.” Bilbo in a discussion of his philosophy | regarding administration of the act said he regarded the “closing of the gap between prices paid to farmers and prices paid by consumers” as the big- gest task. “There are a good many people, some of the best organized, who will have to give up part of their spoils in order to make possible a bigger return to the producer,” he said. “The middleman is well organized, but he is taking too large a share, and it will be up to ad- ministrators of this act to limit the amount he receives.” OHIO YOUTH .thIVES CAR DOWN WHITE HOUSE STEPS Visitor Turns Right Instead of Left When He Finds Self in Blind Driveway. Children and grandchildren of Hoyt Kelley in future years may point with pride to the steps at the west side of the White House grounds, down which { Hoyt, flaunting convention, drove his car yesterday when he found him- self “trapped” at the end of the drive. Hoyt, still in his teens, was sigh seeing. He had come on from Ashta- ed to get a “close-up” of the White House. Driving in the west gate from Pennsylvania avenue, he took the right- hand branch, leading to the Executive Offices. Too late he realized it was a blind drive, and instead of turning left, turned right, and bounced down the steep steps leading to the grounds from West Executive avenue. Undismayed, the youth kept going, rounded the corner of West Executive and Pennsylvania avenue and came back into the grounds. Luckily no cars were parked at the curb at the foot of the steps.
