Peg in Washington
BY ALENE (PEG) PHILLIPS-
Washington, D.C., March 8
Dear Marian:
Washington abounds with en'
tertainment. In addition to the
great list ol interesting places
to be visited, there is a constant
flow of theater productions,
concerts, lectures, dance pro
grams, exhibits, coupled with a
variety of restaurants and clubs.
And, of course, some of this Is
"for free." The military bands
give frequent complimentary
programs and what is as stirring
as a good brass band, plus gold
braid. Excellent pianists and
soloists give concerts that do not
require admission fee and art
exhibits and governmental dis
plays provide plenty of contrast.
Theater critics here have been
paying high tribute to Helen
Hayes in "Mrs. McThing" and
Julie Harris in "I Am a Cam
era," both of which have launch
. ed International Theater month
in Washington with a flourish.
Top flight actresses of two dif
ferent stage generations, the two
carry the heaviest responsibility
in the two productions in which
they are currently appearing.
While other members of the
two casts are excellent, the bur
den of projecting the plays
across the footlights rests on
Miss Hayes and Miss Harris.
Don't miss them, if they come
to Oregon.
To illustrate the variety of
musical offerings, consider that
the Boston Symphony and the
Chicago Symphony are playing
here this week. The National
Symphony provides three or
four programs a week, and the
Marine Band Symphony is giv
ing a concert, too. Solomon is
here this week in a piano recital,
Marian Anderson sings Sunday,
three choral groups offer con
certs, and several other local
artists ore scheduled. Emlyn
Williams gave readings from
Charles Dickens for several per
formances, dressed In a typical
costume of the time, and was
widely lauded for his skill. To
cite additional features that
make up the entertainment pro
gram, Mrs. Doris Langley Moore
will exhibit coronation robes
and accessories and talk of the
coming coronation in England
at a benefit program at the May
flower and Sir Kenneth Clark,
professor of fine arts at Oxford
university, former director of
the National Gallery of London,
lectured Sunday as one of a
series of speakers at the Nationnl
Gallery of Art here. Several
of the Oregon secretaries on the
"hill" and I are making up a
line party for the coronation
program.
thiel Woodard, Portland, now a
talented architect here; Irving
G. Smith, Portland architect;
Mrs. L. Howard Smith, Portland,
who is spending the winter in
Washington; Mr. and Mrs,
Wayne Coe, Portland, who are
here for a few months; Mike
Sanford, of the Continental
Grain company, Portland; Mrs,
Earl Bunting, a former Port
lander, whose husband, an ex-
Portland advertising man, is
executive secretary of the Na
tional Association of Manufac
turers, of which he previously
served as president; Harold B.
Say, former Salemite, whose
wife Lillian was absent due to
the illness of her mother in
Seattle; and three Washington
architects. The Cosmos Club Is
another Washington building
that attracts interest as a re
cently re-done structure. The
lounge rooms are artistic in
their golds, blues, and greens.
Membership is limited to men
of the arts and sciences and
those of official prominence.

There Is one "musical pro
gram" in Washington that has
evoked praise and censure
that is the recorded music play
ed on the buses that travel the
city. Just like any innovation
anywhere, the opponents and
proponents rush into print with
strongly worded opinions. One
even objected on the grounds of
the off-key whistling of passen
gers. Let that be a lesson to
met
Oregon visitors this week at
Inferior included Robert Kerr,
Portland, representing the cher
ry growers; Richard Reynen,
president of a fir mill company
of Ashland; Ben Dorrls, Eugene,
member of the Oregon state fil
bert commission; Allan Smith,
Portland attorney; Phil Schnei
der, Portland, State Game Direc
tor; Arthur Einarson, Oregon
State college; R. M. Kelly, for
merly head of the Chemawa In
dian school, and still with the
Bureau of Indian Affairs in the
midwest; and another visitor
known to motor vehicle officials
at the State House, John Hall,
New York, who sends greetings
to his friends in Salem.
The beauty of the Oregon
Capitol and of Oregon drew
praise this week when during a
noon hour the film prepared by
the Bureau of Mines of our de
partment and the Richfield Oil
company was shown to Interior
employes. The film has been
shown in .Salem but I missed it
there and had to come 3.000
miles to see It. Needless to say,
I appreciated it more than any
one in the audience.
Sincerely, Peg.
Mrs. Douglas McKay was the
cabinet wife honored this week
at the "leading lady" fashion
luncheon at the Statler at which
each week Mrs. Gladstone Wil
liams has four special guests at
a celebrity table. The wife of
the Chinese Ambassador, Ma
dame Koo, and two Congression
al wives, were the others honor
ed. Mrs. McKay's special gift
was a sterling silver pin fash
toned as a tiny vase for a cor
sage. The Chinese Ambassador
and Madame Koo are entertain
ing for Mrs. Chains Kai-shek
at a couple of dinner parties
this week and the Secretary and
Mrs. McKay will be guests at
one of the affairs. The McKays
attended the reception and buf
fet for General and Mrs. James
A. Van Fleet given by the Ko
rean Ambassador and Madame
Yang. The elaborate buffet in
cluded hot and cold Korean spe
cialties in addition to the usual
deluxe fare of the "black tie"
events In ambassadorial circles.
A contrast was Madame Yang in
a definitely Occidental style
dress of accordion pleated white
chiffon and the wife of a mid
western Congressman In a jade
green satin Oriental costume.
One social reporter mentioned
Mrs. McKay's dress as coral with
matching camellias in her hair,
another called the dress cerise,
and I shall be Independent, too
and call It American Beauty.
Outstanding decorations featur
ed another diplomatic reception
which the McKays missed. More
than 1000 red roses were used
about the ballroom, and the buf
fet was arranged around a hol
low oval which was filled with
red and white potted tulips giv
ing a sunken garden effect to
the ballroom. Southern smilax,
with medalllona of red and
white carnation hung from the
boxes around the sides of the
ballroom. In this instance, the
tempting buffet took second
place to the flowem.
