her social duties as First Lady and
the all important Job of being wife
mother and grandmother she still has
time to write an occasional book and
magazine article keep a syndicated
newspaper column going six days a
week and fill between 30 and 40 loc-
tuic engagements each season.
The books she has written include
"It's Up to the Women" "My Day"
and her autobiography "This Is My
Story." She also collected and edited
her father's papers under the title
"Hunting Game in India in the
Eighties." Then too she has written
aiticles for various magazines.
Born In New York City in 1884
Mrs. Roosevelt then Anna Eleanor
Roosevelt was educated in private
schools both here and abroad. Her
mother died when she was seven and
her father died when she was 10.
On St. Patrick's Day 1905 she was
given in marriage to her fifth cousin
Franklin Delano Roosevelt by her fa-
mous uncle President Theodore Roose-
velt. Because her husband's law
studies at Columbia Univeristy could
not be Interrupted their first honey-
moon was a brief one spent at Hyde
Park. However tho following sum-
mer they had a longer one In Europe.
Then she settled down to the conven-
tional life of a young society matron
spending her winters at the Roose-
velt town house in Manhaattan and
at Hyde Park and her summers in
Maine.
During this period her entire time
was occupied with caring for her one
daughter and four sons and in attend-
ing various social functions. So al-
though Mrs. Roosevelt was in and
out of Washington constantly while
her husband was assistant secretary
of tho Navy she did not take a really
active Interest in political affairs un
til her husband made his unsuccess
ful campaign for the vice-presidency
in 1020.

Let's Add the Dons to This Year's Casualty List
Canon Grain and
Wool Co. Inc.
Including "Goo-Goo" Canon
By LOUISE BEAVER
We nlwava feel wrt of disappointed
when we only have two chances to see
a reallv okver oVav llko "Stace Door"
presented hen by the H-SU Players
cluu last Monday and Tuesday eve-
nings. In fact we're downright
scared that we might have missed one
cute line or one quizzical expression
but we're bearing up well on what
we do remember.
Definitely a women's play we liked
the bull session atmospheio of the
Footllehts club down in tho 60s. Wo
liked it so well that Terry Randall-
David Klngsley-Kelth Burgess affairs
almost faded into insignificance.
The sets thanks to those backstage
Citaw members were effective es-
pecially the bedroom scene with sin-
gle beds dressing tables pictures
and the metropolitan complexion of
things just outside the window.
Finding a group of stage-struck
cirls. we were of a mind to move
right in. The witty lines were hilar
ious; the action was well coordinated.
It's our guess that "Stago Door" was
one of the most entertaining plays
ever presented through the speech
deDartment.
Looking over the Individual char-
acterizations we can cite some out-
standing ones. Everyone thanks to
Ferber and Kaufman was a definite
person and very few of them went
unnoticed even down to the bit play-
ers. In fact the characters of the
background were so entertaining wo
almost overlooked the drama of tho
whole situation.
Karl Bonneaux as usual was poised
nnd charming as David Kingsley the
big-shot movie man. Karl always
give a wow of a performance it seems
to us and handles one role as com-
petently as the next.
Terry Randell portrayed by Dewecc
McGahev. was convincing and al
though we're used to seeing Dewece
in comedy or character roles she ap
peared in tho straight role to an ad-
vantage. As for Ralnh Cook if he was sup
posed to be a radical young man with
weak principles we got the Idea in
his portrayal of Keith Burgess which
was top rank.
I Jewette Patton our natural idea
of incenue. turned little old lady for
the nlav as Mrs. Orcutt. She was
sweet and antique. In fact she stress-
ed antiquity to the extent that one
was afraid she might drop dead
every time she trplped across the
stage.
As to the Hollywood flash Wanda
Mao Clements as Jean Maltland
played her role well too. As a girl
with a natural flair for tho dramatic
we didn't mind watching her one bit.
Well now that we've gotten tho
mighty majors off our chest it's time
to go to town on those minor players.
We're stil llaughing and won't cease
fo rn cood loner while!
As we think of them right now we
remember Ruth Evelyn Foote as a
delightful little "ah do declarah" girl
and Ruth Anne Hall as Judith Can-
field with her usual cynicism and her
obvious ability to steal any show she
plays in.
Dorothy Kelley above all others
was our idea of sophistication Bettye
Sue Pitts as an annoying prude an-
noyed us effectively Louelle Cobb
looked truly Russian and exotic play
ed her role with ease Katherine
Hodges put over the Idea of aristoc-
racy in the much-too-small part of
Kendall Adams Hinton Hamilton as
Dr. Randall played the kind old M. D.
with precision.
Most sympathetic character and
probably the most discussed after the
play closed was Helen Hamor a most
convincing suicide. Talking in a too
low voice the audience was tense in
an effort to hear all. Helen Is our
Idea of a college dramatist to watch
looking as much like the real McCoy
with her mobile features as anyone
we've seen.
Bernlce Nelmcyer our little Kath-
erine Freeman was a true Broadway
baby. Personally we're still laughing
at the thorough snubbing Sam Hast-
ings received at her capable hands.
Dwelling chiefly on comedy we
can only cite Big and Little Mary
Mary Ruth Rasco and Frances Fouts.
And this is the truth wo forgot to
pay attention to anything else when
they occupied the stage no matter
how far up-stagc.
Other interesting characterizations
were Helen Cope as Susan Paige;
Juanltn Hayes as a little bad girl;
Happy Fore as the southern beau;
Patty Creswell as the Wisconsin wife
who came back; Irving Cumblc in a
too-short "hello-beautiful" role; Hom-
er Montgomery as n high-powered
publicity man; Blackie Gonzales as
a nonchalant big-time producer.
We nlso noticed W. C. Woody Doris
Wayne O'Brien Robert Foley Dor-
othy O'Danlel Mary Simpson Fred
Shelton.
And of course all this wouldn't
have been possible at all without the
able direction of Katherine Boyd.
Touchdown!! and the Cowboys will
