HOTEL SHERMAN Some time before they were enâ€" gaged for the Federal Theater Proâ€" ject‘s first revue, Grace and Kurt Graff, the modern dancers, were booked for a series of recitals throughout the country and Canada. Following the opening of "O Say S;:dYou Sing" their agent was noâ€" to cancel all bookings, even if to do so meant payment of a fee to cover possible expenditures in their behalf by the local management. ‘The cancellations were effected in every case save one â€" a Chicago booking which had behind it a matâ€" ter of sentimental regard on the part of the Graffs.

Phone for a salesman to tell youâ€" "Within These Walls," a play about the Trappist order in the United States, was made known Thursday night, January 28th, in the Blackstone theater, Chicago, by the Federal Theater Project of the WPA. Production of the play is a step in the plan of the Federal Theater Project to give more attenâ€" tion than in the past to the opporâ€" tunities for putting on new plays rather than revivals of%orks or variants of the classics. "Within These Walls Now Playing at Blackstone Theatre A formal reyiew of Thursday night‘s proceedings in the Blackstone is, of course, not practicable in this issue. ‘It may be said that the story of the play has to do with the spiritâ€" ual adventures of Charles, a young. postulant of the Trappist order; that all the scenes take place in a Trappist monastery "somewhere in the United States"; that the play was staged by Miss Kay Ewing; that the miseâ€"enâ€"scene was designed, and perfected by workers of the Federal Theater Project; and that, if successful with the public, the play, after a fortnight or so in the blackstone, will be transferred to the Princess, also under subâ€"lease to the project. _ The cast of "Within These Walls" is as follows: > f Charles Cantrell .................
