Replica of Old Stage to Be Used Shakespearean Plays to Be Presented Tomorrow and Thursday. BV BEATRICE BURGAN Tiier* Wimin’i Pm Milr High SCHOOL pur.ls have studied the history of Cromwell. who. among other reforms, closed the theaters of London. They have learned in their English Classes that the s’age forms changed when Charles II revived the theaters after they had been

darkened for 18 years under the Commonwealth. Often have these: pupils seen Shakespe a r e an plays enacted under stage conditions of the theater revived by Charles IT. Unless they attended performances of the Old Glebe Theater Player- at

Merrie England at A Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago, they never have witnessed the pearean plays on a stage such as that for which he wrote his dramas. The Globe P’avers will appear at Caleb Mills Hall tomorrow’ and Thursday in abridged versions of Shakespearean comedies and tragon a stage which is a replica •f the stage of the Globe Theater. It which Shakespeare worked as a dramatist and an actor more than 300 years ago. Students of Tudor Hall, pupils of local city high and grade schools. Park and Orchard Schools have made reservations to attend the plays, being sponsored *y the Children’s Museum. Restored at Fair This original stage form never had restored until William Pocl. director of the Elizabethan Stage Society, and directors of the Globe Theater in Merrie England, became its sponsors. The stage of Queen Elizabeth's time was unlike that of any modem theater. It was not a picture frame for scenery, but a platform projecting into the pit. partly sheltered by a room borne on two columns. Behind this shelter was an inner stage, closed by curtains, with a curtained balcony above it. While the curtain.-, were closed, these inner spaces could be set and reset, dressed with whatever furniture or properties the ensuing scene might need. Thomas Wood Stevens, director of the Globe players, thus describes the Globe Theater: "In practice, scenery was not required in such a house. The entire outer stage, with back curtains closed, stood for any unlocalized place where characters might meet. Open the curtain, and the space within is characterized at once by its furniture: Juliet’s chamber or the Friar s cell.’’ Copied French Method When Charles II brought in the dramatic fashions of France, scenery became essential to the stage and its use put an end to the continuous performance, characteristic of an Elizabethan play. Several members of the Museum Guild will usher tomorrow night, under chairmanship of Mrs. Frank T. Sisson. Tomorrow afternoon ar.d Thursday night several graduates of Orchard School will usher. Mothers Will Meet Meridian Heights Kindergarten Mothers’ Club will meet at 10 tomorrow morning at the Meridian Heights Presbyterian Church. George W. Lipps will talk on ’ Healthful Dancing” School Plan Set "The Chintz Cottage” will be presented by the Parent-Teacher Association of *Whool No. 85 Thursday and Friday r,; .ts in the school auditorium under the direction of Karl Zigler.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Cnmmrnts from both Barents and rhildrrn are invited on the amusing problem which comes up todav. It strikes a lighter note than we have had for some time. Get out your pencils, everybody! Dear Jane Jordan—Are you always criticising your children about their table manners? Are your children always being criticised because, even though you know the proper

table etiquette, you let down at home to enjoy your meal? I can remember in our home that many a wonderful meal so laboriously prepared by mother w’as spoiled by the constant nagging of dad on our table manners. This seems to be a shame and a disgrace. Home —

flfU ***■ Jg Ik

Jane Jordan

what a wonderful thought—a place to rest, to discard the heavily burdened robe which society demands you to wear. A place to be yourself and to enjoy whatever you wish in any way you may. In the morning. when you are in a hurry for work or school, there is nothing that will start the day off so brightly and cheerfully as dunking doughnuts in coffee. But the meal must be carried out in the finest style; no dunking; one hand on the table at a time; a moderate rate of speed while eating; no spoon in the coffee cups, and a thousand other little things to give society a good impression of you. It does seem funny that such trifling little things as table manners should mean so much to some people. The vice president of the Standard Oil Cos. achieved his position because he had. among other things, good table manners while eating with the board of directors. It seems only fair to me for a per-

{•on to know what the right and wrong table manners are and to be able to carry them out when the tirr*' arrives. But while at home it is time for rest; time to buoy up I your spirits by whatever enjoyment I you may receive in doing what you wish in the way you care to. The only way I can see to battle this question is the little saying “When in Rome, do as the Romans do. but when at home do as you wish to do.” 808 JUNIOR. Answer—l must plead guilty in a big way to being one of the foremost local advocates of good table manners. I have two sons, aged 11 and 14, and I have no doubt that their entire youth has been darkened by my insistence upon the amenities of the table. Although you do not mention the shade of knuckles you prefer when | you engage in dunking. I feel safe i in inferring that you lean toward a none too gentle gray. A wellworn grime, with artistic black line accents under each finger nail, is held in high regard at our table. It is my understanding that soap was compounded for the use of “lilies.” While my deepest sympathies are with your parents, I am sufficiently softened by your case to call attention to a little device that makes dunking possible at the best of tables. My own Robert Junior finds it profitable to call my attention to a spot on the wall paper or a rip in the draperies. While my housewifely eye rests on the defect, he dunks with delight. This went on for years before I discovered it. Unless you wish to remain a bachelor, Bob Junior, you would do well to give up your ideal of a home in which you can lapse into your pet crudities. For the woman you choose will be bent upon civilizing you. The rituals which have grown up around the serving of meals may be a nuisance to you but your wife, unless she is your inferior, will not enjoy life minus these refine- , ments. You would not be content to eat your food from a trough, like a pig. it would cause you suffering, if not starvation. Women only have carried the artistic ordering of life a step farther to include a few graces as well as good cooking. You already are licked in your desire to remain a sloppy, primitive male around home. Your protest is amusing but useless. a a Dear Jane Jordan—My advice to the Bachelor Boy <who is in love with a woman married to an unworthy mani is to let the Sob SisI ter alone and not meddle with what is none of his business. Bachelor Boy had better forget his infatuation and find a single woman. Doesn’t he know that she'd cry her troubles on some other man's shoulder if he married her? If he wants happiness he'd better not break up a home to find it. He'll lose more than he gains. MAY BESS SYMS. Answer—Your letter does not tally with experience. I have known many a second marriage to succeed where the first one failed. Bachelor Boy has my sympathy. MRS. DICKS CHOSEN CLUB PRESIDENT Mrs C. W.

Contract Bridge

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. F.. M’KENNEY Secretary American llridge League THIS is the third of six unusual hands played by the national open pair champions, Johnny Rau and Charles Lochridge. It will show you how good these two are at defensive play. You may wonder why a diamond is bid in preference to a heart. This reverse bidding will permit you ‘o show your partner a good hand, as well as the distribution. If your partner bids two clubs or one no trump, you bid two hearts. Your partner knows that you can not bid two hearts unless you have a very good hand, because, if he doesn’t like hearts and does like Today’s Contract Problem This is the fourth of six hands played by the national champions, Rau and Lochndge. If South arrived at a three heart contract, and you held the West hand, would you double? If you did, and you opened the king of hearts, could declarer make an extra trick?

You can not do this unless you are prepared to play the hand at this contract. That is why North is justified in going to two no trump over the two heart bid. tt M ON this hand, Mr. Lochridge sat East and Mr. Rau West. Just a word to you persons who have been taught to lead your fourth best from your longest and strongest suit against a no-trump contract. That may be all right in some cases, but in contract you must consider the bidding. South has bid hearts and diamonds and has a good hand. North has bid no trump, presumably with spades and clubs stopped. Mr. Lochridge felt that. if he led away from his spade tenace, he might give the declarer a play for an extra trick. Why not hold this tenace position and lead from the suit that is apt to do the least harm? Mr. Lochridge made a nice opening of the four of clubs, which was won by the West with the ace. The deuce of clubs was returned. North winning the trick with the queen. He now led a small diamond, finessed the queen and West won with the king.

South West North East 1 4 Pass IN. T. Pass 2 V Pa! > s 2 N. T. Pass 3 N T Pass Pass Pass Opening lead—A 5 point? Let me give you Mr. Rau’s reasoning: "North has won one trick, the queen of clubs. I know that he also has the king of clubs, which makes two tricks. The diamand suit is solid, which is three more, and four heart tricks make nine in all. Therefore, if I return a club there is no way to defeat the contract. "My next thought was to lead a heart and block the hand, but I saw then that my K-10 of spades position was bad. I knew the only chance that we had to defeat this contract was to find my partner with the ace and jack of spades.” So he played the king of spades and then led a heart, throwing the lead in the dummy, and the declarer was helpless. All he could do was to cash four heart tricks and three diamonds, and then he had to lead a spade into East’s ace-jack, losing the contract by one trick. (Copyright, 1935 bv NEA Service. Inc.)

Ayres Store to Present Spring Styles Tomorrow on Longest Runway Yet Seating Capacity Most Extensive Arranged for Annual Event; Society Women Will Serve as Mannequins. BY HELEN LINDSAY PROMENADING on a specially constructed runway, the longest ever used in any fashion show at the L. S. Ayres &z Cos. store, and a larger seating capacity than ever before has been arranged. Ayres will show spring fashions at 2:30 tomorrow on the third floor of the costume department. The showing will include every type of costume, every type of figure, and a costume for every hour of the day and night. They will be wearable and becoming and many will accent the news which has come from the Paris openings, that the outstanding note will be increased interest

in femininity. Lucien Lelong has described this note by saying that the spirit of the mode is the same as that behind the fashions of other days, when feminine charms were a woman's great aim in choosing clothes. This will be evidenced in the care that will be taken in co-ordinating all costumes. White women will express their individuality in the selection of accessories, to be well-dressed this year all of the costume must be in harmonv. Hosiery shades will be selected which are suitable to’ each individual costume, and navy, the outstanding color, will be* shown whth various contrasts. There will be bright shades, showing the peasant influence: shirrings. adapted from the costumes of Rumania: the Tahitian influence will be seen in some costumes, and others will be casual tweeds, with a

British look. Many fur capes will be shown, as well as quilted capes for evening. Mainbocher's costume for evening in black net, and featuring the Red Riding hood cape, which was pictured in this month's issue cf Harper's Bazaar, will be modeled. Assisting the Ayres mannequins will be Mrs. I. C. De Haven. Mrs. Batist Haueisen. Mrs. John K. Ruckelshaus. Mrs. Conrad Ruckelshaus. Mrs. Irving Fauvre, Miss Harriett Denny. Miss Mary Sinclair.
