-Sunday, September 28. 1941 MINNEAPOLIS SUNDAY TRIBUNE AND STAR JOURNAL PAGE 7 CHOOLS AND COLLEGE TO KEEP PUPILS OUT OF MISCHIEF Uniforms Are News Picture in Wood Goal for Band PTA WILL LAUNCH LEISURE TIME ACTIVITIES Labor School Announces Classes to Open Tuesday DRAMA Little Theater Group Opens Season By JOHN K. SHERMAN I if i torn I i awMwo I rl TTi; rfl.L. i Is 'if -f 1 VI 4 1 1 ft If I Xf Hi if I 5 iaifc.ei i.ii)-iiiitf,t.r-iiti P. jr Using the library in the Minneapolis Labor school, 616 Third avenue are (left to right) June Miller and Clarice Blake, from Office Workers' union No.

17661, and JEarl Follestad, Filling Station operators No. 977. 1 It took only one day for William Edgcll, 2928Tills-bury avenue, to make this wood carving of a child leading a dog to water, which he patterned after a picture appearing in the Minneapolis Star Journal and Tribune's rotogravure section several weeks ago. Edgcll is a wood carver in a WPA project at Walker Art gallery; COMMUNITY theaters need cour age as well as talent. It took almost a rash courage for St.

Paul's Little Theater company to prod the public's fresh memory of Katharine Hepburn's stage and screen portrayal of Tracy Lord, and produce 'The Philadelphia Story" as its first play of tne sea son. Its bravery Is well justified in the vital and swift-paced produce tion of the Philip Barry play, which opened last night, at the Edyth Bush theater. Performances will be given tonight and Tuesday through Saturday evenings. The play is John Row Winnie's first directing job at the playhouve, and the least to be said Is that the flattering recommendations which preceded his arrival here did not over-state the rase. The former Des Moines Community tlirater head has fashioned a smart and incialve performance, lit with many deft accents in dialogue and staging.

Obviously, Winnie also knows how to make a play move, and to give amateurs the polish so much needed and so rarely found in sophisticated comdy. The lines are skilfully handled in a variety of tones and moods, so that there is depth as well as glitter. The Hepburn role Is given sharp and assured portrayal by Ilelga Freeman, who cannot well escape the Hepburn tradition (the role was created for Hepburn) but who impresses nonrlhelrss by the strength and poise of her own per sonallty. She makes believable the transformation of an arrogant, self-centered society girl into fallible human being. Dick Brennan enacts the roaga zine writer with proper irony a role of under-emphasls somewhat handicapped, in this case, by a too retiring manner and Insufficient domination in scenes where Tracy comes under his spell.

He knows the nuances of his lines, and tells them well. The company is generally well cast, with special kudos going to Mary Jo Blschoff as the mother, Patricia Ross as the young sister, James Corbin as Uncle Willie, Hel en Bachman as the magazine photographer, and Donald Briody as the heroine's first husband. The single setting Is tasteful. Flag Ritual Will Open Red Cross County Meeting A flag ceremony by South high school pupils will open a meeting of Junior Red Cross representatives of Minneapolis and rural Hennepin county junior and senior high schools tomorrow at 4 p.m. In Jef ferson junior high school to or ganize a Hennepin County Junior Red Cross council.

COLLE at Roosevelt "Uniforms for the Roosevelt band" becomes the battle cry In the Roosevelt high school district this week as the school's parent-teacher-sludent association launches campaign for $2,000 for that purpose. But its really a campaign for uniforms for two bands because the goal of 110 uniforms will pro vide for the needs of the school's 110-piece marching band and 110 piece concert band, according to Oren Henning, director of both organizations. For the past 10 years, Mr. Ilennlng explained, both bands have depended upon TS maroon and gold caps made by the school's sewing classes, and tho players' own white trousers or skirts.

There are no caps. Initial efforts by students, par ents and the faculty last year raised $1,064 toward the uniform fund and now the uniform cam paign is aimed at obtaining the additional $2,000 needed.
