- [(heen ] The Sundly S SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 16, 1921 Ay very faces. We might not be able to survive that. Y * Part 3—12 Pages “Che Theater: RAMA, “mellow drama” was represented during the week in Langdon McCormick’s motion picture scenario, “The Storm,” with spoken dialogue and with all the lure that might be given by the first general woman stage director known to the theater. It is the old play presented here about a decade ago by Producexi Ryl_ey, when a famous snowstorm and Muriel Starr, as the French-Canadian girl, won all the honors. It has been rewritten, and perhaps improved, so far as its plot goes, but the famous snowstorm has disappeared, and in the present production a “forest fire” holds the chief attention. The fi(e part of the forest fire was great, but the effects are not intended for criti- cal analysis. Neither is the play. The cast did well, perhaps, with l_he material at command as could be expected. Katharine Hayden was its bright particular spot, but despite sincere, conscientious effort, failed *to picture such a French-Canadian girl as the story demands. The per- spective of the first act was impressive, in spite of the green river that would -not get -turbulent. The fireproof log cabin was a wonder. B|_xl Billy B. Van was amusing in the William Rock Revue. and Mr. Rock is deserving of credit for giving the other fellows and the girls a chance. “Peggy” breezed by with a sort of summery waft without raising a riot. The-Washington theater patron appreciates to the full the special con- sideration of the Messrs. Shubert in the type and caliber of the recent entertainment they have provided. It is evidence that the Messrs. Shubert are climbing toward the heights, and with the American Con- gress in session here, they have wisely chosen the time for manifesting their effort to uplift the stage. 5 P HEAD we have in prospect, early prospect, “Jimmie,” “Blue Eyes” and “The Unpardonable Sin” as characteristic adornment for the Shubert-controlled theaters. At the National, “Ed Wynn, the Perf“:ct Fool,” is prominently and persistently announced. The_theater % do move.” Farther in the distance is promised “Monsieur Beaucaire” to make us rémember that we are still at home in the capital of the United States. . So we can patiently wait until the coming of “Monsieur Beau- caire.” ’ * ok ok ok sl LLIAM ‘ARCHER, England’s distinguished® dramatic critic, is mak- ing a lecture tour of this country with “Three British Playwrights— Shaw, Galsworthy and Barrie” as his theme. It looks almost like an insidious British move to humiliate the United States and gain theatric glory at our expense. Britain has always been a grasping nation. But notwithstanding the voluries that have been written concerning the three British playwrights, it is comforting, perhaps, to remember that our own are not to come under Mr. Archer’s critical scrutiny, and before our * * * REPRESENTATIVE of the Christian Science Monitor interviewed mflSemefltS - Holbrook Blinn, the distinguished actor, who is now starring in “The Bad Man,” one of our theatrical “successes,” and gathered some information worth repeating. “The theaters of Europe—that is, central Europe—illustrate the sort of native drama that America ought to be pro- ducing,” said Mr. Blinn. “There they take the things closest to .their hearts. and.Weave them into dramas, making them real dramas of the people,- while. Americans deal mostly with the things on the surface of their Yives.. American’ dramas are too much concerned with Wall street tickers, police stations, plain clothes men and telephones. * * * There is a tremendous amount of native material that has never been touched by American dramatists. Their preoccupation with the surface elements o¥qur lives has blinded them apparently to the great untouched field of the inger lives of our people.” - ° - * % ¥ * : BLINN in the foregoing interview, like many others, believes that authot of “Beyond the Horizon,” and some of the | /give thic best promige. for. a great;advance in'pyr theater. e great question, however, with many, is what sor en- couragemen pect from American prgducers. All-understand that play pr is, to @ large extent, a matter ofbusiness; invest- ment, if you must yield satisfactory réfirn. The misfortune #his to be that those who have the moneéy to. invest ness are obsessed with the motion that womanjand sex |- ic of interest to the American people—at least in current times s in this line of by problems are the sole topi e those . wh s are in the National Capital. We have had woman in all_her worst phases, or_hetter, perhaps, in all the horrible phases of human-kfefwith which it is possible to associate her. Her personality has been plpyed u from the raiment of royalty down to the bare skin, and, because the bidly curious have flocked to see hér most indeli- cate exposition, ‘it is .assumed that that is what the people want. Many s of the theaters brutally say so. - But every question has:two sides.” Why: not try the American taste with drama of worth and give represetitation in:K’t discussion to those who many think differently? Ad-the Horizon” received a patronage that made reviewers declare it a marvel; but those who paid to see it Were not given the credit of baving the taste to-appreciate nor of having the disposition to pay for seeing that sort of a marvel. The real answer would seem to be that it is cheaper to the modern purveyor of amusement to secure the woman than to pay the just royaity that should go to the author of genuine dramatic and literary worth. Cupidity, not a depraved public taste, is responsible for much that we have to engure. * X K K CBARLBSM.SCHWAB.(M presiden: great steel magnate, has accepted the cy of the Bach Choir of Bethlehem, Pa, and is again .to take the organization to New York to take part ift the Oratorio Society’s spring festival. * * * % - MA!GARET ANGLIN has been invited to give a special performance of the “Electra” of Sophocles on the steps of the Columbia Library, the English department of Columbia University.

Ganna Walska, the Polish prima donna. Director Garden ought to know how to handle the temperamental genius confided to hér tharge. RO MAU]_)‘E ADAMS is to make her reappearance on the stage early next autumn under the management of A. L. Erlanger and Charles B. Dillingham, from whose offices comes the intelligence that Miss Adams is not ill, and that she has no intention of giving up her work as an actress, which she had to relinquish in the fall of 1918, while touring in Barrie’s “A Kiss for Cinderella” Mr. Erlanger states that it is virtually settled that, besides the regular productions in which the distinguished ; actress wil} appear_each autumn, a program of Shakespearean plays and other classics is being arranged for her presentation each spring. * % % X% EASING reviews of “Transplanting Jean,” a sparkling comedy, adapted from the French of De Flers and Caillavet, in which Mar- rret Lawrénce and Arthur Byron are featured, are coming from New or] t6 The new play, which has already amused Paris, L - in, is said-to sise to the billisace of ~The Gold Diggerar 00 2nd Ber * Xk X X AGANS,” Carl Anthony’s play, with Joseph Schildkraut, leased New York less than it did Washington, because not only was the play itself handled vigorously, but even its star shared in the hammering bestowed by the leading critics. * X * ¥ -G apparently EORGE ARLISS fades into the land of shadows in New in & photoplay of “The Devil,” his first offense. * ¥ * k¥ RTHUR HAMMERSTEIN is to join with A.

MGINCE the very first time I went on the stage.” says Marion Har- ris, “T've been singing what is called today ‘Blues numbers.’ “Often I've been asked, ‘What a: Blues songs'? Of course, I have my own version of what they are and my own ideas as to how they should be sung. Perhaps some of our com- posers who have studied what is call- ¢d ‘folk songs’ may not agree with me when I say that the ‘Blues’ num- bers are nothing more than negro York today in producing nett Bathing ballads. Students of the colored and those who lived in the lnulhr.:lel their lives, especially in the country and along the water fronts, are of that opinfon. The best example I know of these peculiar strains were brought out in John Powell's ‘Rhap- sodie Negre.'" —_— Two new plays slated for early fall production in New York by the Sel wyns are the Gordon - Clemens - Spinger play entitled “The Poppy God,” with Ralph Morgan in the lead- Cowl_ and Jane Murfin called Sign.” 5 ) — - Current_Attractions D.

The National Theater offers tonight and all this week “The Ed Wynn Car- nival,” fresh fromn Metropolitan tri- umphs. “The Ed Wynn Carnival” (New York production) with Ed Wynn, “the perfect fool,” was sent out late last season, but it was not until the performances in New York at the New Amsterdam Theater, in February, it is claimed, that it was whipped into shape to suit Mr. Wynn and his manager, B. C. Whitney. It comes to Washington, it is declared, with the unqualified indorsement of New York and Chicago. It is described as a musical delight in two acts and twelve scenes. The book, lyrics. and music are by Ed Wynn. Ned Wayburn staged the ideas. The scenic and costume environment is said to rival anything seen locally. The company includes Lillian Fitz- gerald, Ear] Benhem, Lilllan Wag- ner, Muriel Harrison, Beth Stone, ece centric toe dancer; Vanda an Egyptian terpsichorean novelty; Charles Bennet, a new tenor discov- ery; Harry Cowley, Henry Regal and Simeon Moore, original comigues; the Meyakos Trio, Ray Miller's Black and ‘White Melody Boys, and many others, with an ensemble of pretty girls.

Morrison. Paul Porcasi, Irwin Rossa, Tom O'Hare. and a chorus to invite at- tention.

The authors are Leon Gordon and Leroy Clemens. The play is in three acts and the locale is Greenwich Village, New York city. Mr. Gordon is author and star of other produce tions, including “Watch Your Neigh- bor” His father was K. C. Lily, for vears manager of the old Drury Lane Theater in London. The music of “Blye Eyes” is by L B. Kornblum and the lyrics by-Z. Myers. Bert French staged the dances. The entire pro- duction was staged by Lew Fields, who boasts “a chorus of the most beautiful ever seen in a single play; The story deals with the adventure: of three musketeers of Greenwich ing role, and a new play by Jane|Village. One is smitten by 3 young “The | matd len known as “Blue Eyes.” Com- plications ensue when the young man Hoft, | makes the mistake of presenting a prominent duke's card as his own. | This leads the trio into embarrass- ments which come to a climax at fashionable Great Neck, L.
