King-Coit School Play Again
Is Thrill of Spring Season.
Circus Is in Town.
EVERY spring for the last
15 years and more, during
the month of April, New
Yorkers have been priv
ileged to see the children of the
King-Coit School give their an
nual play. This is a treat so
rare, so choice that hard-bitten
critics come to see and leave en
raptured. Stark Young. Alexander
Woollcott. both acerbate judges of
the drama in their time, have
written ecstatically about perform
ances of "Aucassin and Nicolette”
and "The Tempest.” Brooks At
kinson's prose has radiated praise
. . . They give eight performances,
Tuesdays and Saturdays. All the
tickets are sold ahead of time. Not
only do old New Yorkers come out
of the woodwork for this, but the
theater people come and come
again. Katherine Cornell has been
three times in the last two weeks.
This year, in their own theater,
which holds about 150 people, the
children gave ' The Golden Cage,”
arranged from the poems of Wil
liam Blake by Catherine Cook
Smith, with music by Arthur Whit
ing. Dorothy Obit directed the
play; the costumes, scenery and
make-up were designed from the
engravings of William Blake by
Edith King, Helen Farr and Martha
Ryther. Mikhail Mordkin (the
great Mordkin) and Catherine
Innes Renouf taught the children
the dances.
The characters in the play are
a Shepherd (the human soul),
the Children of Eden, who are the
birds, the flowers, the peacocks and
the insects; a Malign Spirit (the
prince of the love of illusion i, a
Child ia creative imaget, the other
Children (spirits of innocence), a
Nurse, an Angel (the shepherd's
heavenly counterpart), and the
Morning Stars (the comforters'.
The argument is based on the
poem of Blakes', which starts:
"How sweet I roamed from field to
field
And Tasted all the summer's
pride.
Till I. the Prince of Love, beheld
Who in the sunny beams did
glide.”
Ana is described thus:
"A young shepherd following his
sheep to pasture, watches the
dances of the birds, the flowers, the
peacocks and the insects. He is
happy until he is deceived by the
Prince of the Love of Illusion,
who entangles him in his net and
shuts him in a golden cage. The
child hears his moans and comes
to him. The shepherd pipes to
please the child who calls other
children to play. The child hears
an angel singing and brings him
to counsel the child. The angel
calls the morning stars to comfort
him. The child frees the shep
herd from the golden cage and
shows him the way to strength and
joy. The angel hushes the earth to
sleep and the 'stars return to the
Bkv.’ ”
This is a plot of cobweb delicacy,
but there was nothing to mar the
light and glowing texture of
the children's interpretation of
Blake's poignant lines. The lumi
nous stage and the gossamer cos
tumes were as fragile as a Blake
water color. The oldest in the
cast was 12 and the youngest under
4. During the rehearsals, which
are conducted with the precision
and regularity of a Broadway pro
duction, with the same profes
sional attention to make-up and
lighting. George DeKay, the 11
year-old boy who plays the lead
ing role of the shepherd said to
Miss Colt:
"This Is a lovely way for us
actors, but. I think it will be too
highbrow for the audience.”
WE DIDN'T get to see the cir
cus last week when the strike
was on and every one from the
men on the flying trapeze to Frank
Buck were shifting scenery, but we
did go the other night and. be
lieve us. it Is "something." When
John Ringling North, the execu
tive head of Ringling Bros, and
Barnum <fc Bailey's combined
ahows employed Charles Le Maire
to reeostume this show, he made
a dream come true. Gone are the
shoddy old pink tights and ostrich
feathers and rhinestones we learned
to know so well. Now the ele
phants stride in with trappings of
gold and silver cloth that cost $25
a yard. Tigers are led on by a
troupe of Bengal lancers that de
lighted Gan- Cooper when he saw
them. The Oriental princesses
who sway around on the backs of
camels are dripping with long,
richly colored veils and glamour.
Even the lovely, fat, white horses
who galump around the rings are
chalked to a nine and have coro
nation feathers bobbing on their
foreheads.
Also, the circus has been stream
lined. This, we discovered, means
cutting down the performances to
one or two rings instead of five.
No more frantic trying to see
everything at once and having the
children ask questions about all
five rings simultaneously.
Gargantua the Great, the 7-year
old gorilla, this year's featured at
traction, is as terrifying and re
pulsive as the publicity boys in
the circus have planned. He lives
in a glass-inclosed, air-conditioned
cage, at a temperature of 74 de
grees Fahrenheit. This little job
cost $10,000 to build. It is trundled
on in the middle of the show,
pulled by six white horses, accom
panied by men dresed in what we
suppose are Safari clothes, carry
ing guns. This is done to the ac
companiment of the orchestra
beating out tom-tom music and
Frank Buck giving a grim picture
of gorilla life in the Belgian Congo.
Gargantua cats $10 worth of
fruit, raisin bread and vegetables a
day. He is moved from his bed
room to his living room by means
of a black snake, which is the only
thing he seems to be afraid of. He
has attacked a cameraman, John
Ringling North, and his trainer,
and 1s reported to have thrown a
can of beans at. Heywood Broun
and turned his back on Mrs. Vin
cent Astor.
As a corollary to the circus, the
Museum of the City of New York
and the Grolier Club are giving a
combined exhibition, at the mu
seum. It is railed “From Noah's
Ark to New York." and it contains
posters and Currier and Ives prints
and reproductions and information
on every circus thing from the lith
ograph of the pre-Civil War fat boy,
the Infant Lambert who weighed
257 pounds when he was 7. to Gen.
Tom Thumb's carriage, which was
presented to him by Queen Victoria
in 1854.
The posters are fine, lurid pic
tures of Indian massacres and Buf
falo Bill and full of a robust vocab
ulary which makes the present
day publicity for the “Gretaest
Show on Earth" seem a wash of
understatements. We were partic
ularly taken with this description
of a gentleman named Starr who
lived in the 1850s and was pictured
riding a bicycle down a gently
sloping ladder. Here is the
build-up:
-.“Starr—the shotmg star in his
dare-devil dash down the ladder of
flame. The intrepid Starr flashes
meteor-like from the very apex
of the lofty dome of the canvas
down a triple extension fire ladder
to the ground, seated on an ordinary
bicycle, a sheer and sudden descent
of 79 feet on a cycle path of wide
apart rungs."
J^OWN at the Grand Central
Palace the First International
Photographic Exhibition is being
held and the camera maniacs are
gathering from all points on the
Northeastern seaboard. Trains are
being run daily from Washington.
Chicago. New Haven, Pittsburgh
and Boston. Today, 500 members
of the Philadelphia camera clubs
are attending the show.
There are hundreds of exhibits
of cameras and lenses and televi
sion machines and a most elaborate
program is being carried on daily
in the lecture hall. Discourses on
color photographs and motion pic
tures in surgery, portraits in the
home, etc., go on every hour from
noon, when the show opens, until
9 at night. The high point so far
has been a stage show for candid
camera fans. Ten handsome models
climbed up on the stage and
pirouetted while cameras clicked
like a hailstorm. It is estimated at
the exhibition that over two-thirds
of the 35,000 people who have paid
for admission carry cameras with
them. A reporter from the Mirror
who went, innocently enough, to
study the 3.000 photographs on dis
play, saw six different people tak
ing his picture and doesn't know
how many people caught him un
awares!
FRIEND of ours, Mrs. Walter
Herrick, mother of the season's
loveliest debutante, Aileen Herrick,
who expects to accompany her
daughter to Hollywood for screen
tests, told us the other day some of
the trials of bringing out a beauty.
A short while ago Aileen received
a threatening letter, so unpleasant
in tone that her father decided
that she must have a detective ac
company her while the police were '
MRS. RICHARD HAYS HAWKINS. Jr.,
Who. before her marriage yesterday afternoon in St. John’s
Church, was Miss Laura Christina Ekengren, daughter of Mme.
Ekengren and. the late Swedish Minister to this country.

investigating. The orders were that
the detective should bring Alleen
back from the Stork Club, or
wherever she had been, at 6 p.m.
The first evening they didn't get
in until 9. The detective, obviously
entranced, explained how Aileen
had introduced hint to her friends
as Capt. So and So and time seemed
to have flown. The irate parents
got another detective, but he was
young, handsome and had a car
and the same thing happened.
Finally, after four trys, they found
one sleuth who weighed over 200
pounds and he established im
munity.
The next complication to the
family came in the form of an
owl-faced monkey which one of
Aileen's admirers presented to her.
Mrs. Herrick is a great animal
lover, but she had nevpr had any
experience with monkeys. She
called up the zoo and asked how
to keep a monkey healthy and how
to housebreak it. She was told to
give it Viosterol. The monkey grab
bed the bottle, threw it against
the head of the bed. so it broke
and ran greasily down among the
pillows. After working laboriously
over the pet to no avail with the
monkey tearing everything in sight
to pieces he has joined the hand
some detectives!

DEMPSEY’S PHILOSOPHY
Former Champion Advises
Celebrities to Save.
In an article by John B. Kennedy
advisory editor of the Commentator
magazine, comes a bit of advice from
Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight
champion of the world, a philosophy
which could well be followed by other
celebrities.
Have and hang onto enough dough
to make people respect you for the
sense to do it. And when the ch°ers
turn to jeers and vice versa, remem
ber that if you keep quiet and live
long enough, the tune will change
again.
