D. C, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 23, 1921. ————————————————— . HE midseason of the theatrical year, which is repcrted to be show- ing signs of dullness in the great metropolis, has not shown a diminished desire for entertainment that is suitable for presenta- tion in the National Capital, nor a lack of the money to pay for it when the New York-booking agent indulges an average gleam of dramatic intelligence. The week just closed indicated that the revue and musical comedy have about reached the limit of indulgence, and that the people here are waiting for the better things to come. Ed Wynn's Carnival was, perhaps, entitled to better patronage than it received. The failure was not due to Mr. Wynn or his excellent production, but rather to the fact that the revue has been crowding Washington rather too frequently and in too close succession. “Blue Eyes” also deserved a better fate, nd “Jimmie” sympathetic remembrance. As a matter of fact, the func- tion of the stage—to present drama—was taken over during the week by the screen, and for once, ag least, the motion picture arose to pre-eminent heights, and deservedly so. * ¥ X HE week ahead looks brighter. Its offerings will inciude “Monsieur eatcaire,” the first romantic opera of worth that has come to Wathington in lo these many years. It comes cordially indorsed and with advance notices that are a delight in themsclves. And then, too, we are to have “Ten Nights in a Barroom,” with no less a star than Robert Dotning, the famous “Gladiator” of yore, the will ans‘l untamed *“Ingomar,” the stern and heroic “Virginius,” turgid “Othello’ ar_lld the more delightful Cajeb Plummer in “The Cricket on the Hearth.” But why name them al In his day and gencration Mr. Downing was one . of the brilliant luminaries of the big stage—and he has not lost his cun- ' ning. Just why “Ten Nights in a Barroom,” that old warhorse of tem- ~ perance in days long gone by, should reappear upon the scene now is difficult to conjecture. Its archaic value may make it of some use in the overhauling of the public morals in this period of extra dryness. Many will welcome it as a cherished old friend. And those who have never seen it, may weep and wonder that such shings ever could be. Bc§1des / Mr. Downing will sing, as well as act, agd his song will be “Here's to You, Tom Moore,” another hold-over f the wicked days. No an- nouncement has been made, but it was #n “Ten Nights in a Barroom' that “Father, Dear Father, Come Home With Me Now,” had its public origin. As the clock strikes in that old song a tearful tale is unfolded. _“Not So Long Ago” will bring romantic-camedy of another period, the days of bustles and what not. It ought to he pretty, even dear, to t_hpsg:. who can recall the far-off days of the seventies. “Broadway Brevities will serve to temper the ancient with the modern and keep the memory of the revue from lapsing during the interim. * ¥ ¥ X E BAT,” the unvarnished melodrama that Washington Asmilcd over n its early days, according to recent reports, has attained a New York record of nearly half a million dollars in gross receipts for 175 performances. There is something of a Babe Ruth flavor about it. | * ¥k % * : IT is ‘said that the only group of electors who failed to give Edwin . Booth a majority for a place in the Hall of Fame comprised the college presidents and men of affairs. The latter, it'is asserted, did not give the great actor a third of their vote. It was the scentists who were the most strongly impressed with America’s greatest tragedian as entitled to a place which has been given as an honor to others perhaps less de- serving. Prof. Randolph Sommerville of the Drgmatic Society of Wash- ington Square College thinks that there stiil suryives a prejudice against the people connected with the “shows.” e * % Xx ¥ 'AUDE ADAMS is being ‘congratulated far an@ wide on her choice of A. L. Erlanger and Charles B. Dillingham as §er future mapagers. y .One enthusiastic New York writer thinks “There, isénot an ‘actor or 2 ** manager who would not sloep sounder. from the ledge that Mr. ¢ Erlangerls i€-was on his contract. It imparts same- degree of financial security that might come from having the United States Treas- ury or the Bank of England mixed up in a theatrical agreement.” Such, he says, is the repute of Mr. Erlanger in the profession, which, of course, is a very pretty compliment for Mr. Erlanger. * ¥ k % METROPflLITAN critics are saying that probably no other produc- tion in recent years. has approached a Belasco productiofi in the matter of detail as has “The Passion Flower,” the great melodrama from the -pen of the Spanish dramatist, Jacinto Bonavente. La Prensa, the great Spanish daily in New York, says: “From the ‘translator down to the costumer, sincere attempt has been made throughout to follow the] tranditions of the resplendent Spanish theater. Here is to be seen no caricature of Spain nor of the Spaniards, but a serious version of one of the most vigorous dramas on the cotemporary stage, presented by a com- mny of powerful artists. The propriety of the mountings is admirable. e scenery, costumes and accessories employed during the run of the play in Madrid eight years ago have been reproduced to the minutest detail, and at this time Bonavente’s great work was the theatrical sensa~ tion of Spain. The atmosphere is everywhere extraordinarily sincere.” * k K ¥ 'OHN DRINKWATER'S play, “Abraham Lincoln,” is announced for next o week. Since this remarkable production was first presented in Wash- ington it is said to have ripened into a wonderful revelation, due to the fact that the distinguished players seen in its presentation have availed themselves of the opportunity to mold their mimetic art to a high degree wof perfection in character building and impersonation. Frank McGlynn's characterization of the martyred President has been declared marvelous by those who knew with some degree of intimacy the great original. “The incongruous dialogue to which attention was called in the earliest formances has vanished, and little, if anything, remains of minor de- ects that contributed to detract from the greatness of the play as ‘historic entirety. * ¥ ¥ k % ] \UR friends, the Messrs. Shubert, will regale us in two of the houses under their control with David Wark Griffith’s “Way Down East” @ motion picture that has been exalted to the skies and damned to perdi- tion alternately, and a farce, so that those who_lack the mental energy and fitness to accommodate themselves to the Spanish melodrama and to *Abraham Lincoln” next week will not need to pine for their favorite amusement. * * * % Dua DE KEREKJARTO, 2 Hungarian violinist, and a pupil of Hubay, is entertaining Sunday night concert patrons in the metropolis. Soon, perhaps, we vshall have the announcement of another of “the world’s reatest violinists” to delight the local contingent that will have none ut “the greatest and best.” A * OTTOKAR SEVEIK, teacher of Kocian and others, is on his way from Prague to join the faculty, of Jthaca Conservatory. Americans’ great opportunity to rise in music ap- pears to be at hand. * k % % MEANWHILE Archibald Seiwyn has sailed the wide seas in search of new theatrical material, and incidentally to place some of his own for foreign approval. New London and Paris successes may be expected in due course of time. * k % * k K K 'HE Federation of Paris Theaters has passed a resolution urging that < only 5 per cent of alien performers be permitted in any French theater. This, it is said, would revolutionize the French stage. Ameri- cans now form a large part of the bills at the Folies Bergere, Casino, Apollo, Bataclan and Champs Elysees, it is said. Were such a resolution. ‘enacted into law here it would do much toward depopulating the Ameri- can concert and theatrical sugei. And America fought to save France! * x * R £ GREEN GODDESS,” George Arliss’ new romantic melodrama, by William Archer, the English dramatic critic, is dominated by «, cruel, implacable villain, a veritable demon, masked by perfect suavity and polish of manner,” according to one of the critics at its opening night. The story, somewhat siuggish at the outset. is said to move with rapidity and with surprises that lead to a crescendo of excitement. English physician and a major and his wife are cast, by an aeroplane accident. in an isolated, barbaric part of India, ‘Where a wicked rajah covets the woman, who is ultimately rescued by a fleet of military aero- planes. called by wireless.

The operetta is a peculiarly French form of art. It has been kept alive in the French theater while the English and the American stage have reveled in musical comedy. “Monsieur Beaucaire” offered an ideal theme for operetta. It is the Irnmucs of the cousin of a French | king, who, to avoid. an unwelcome guised as a barber, and at the famous watering place. Hath, falls in love with the beautiful Lady Mary, wins her heart, unmasks, cheats at cards, fights duels and, in the end, goes back to. France to espouse his first loye. Booth Tarkington wrote the story more than twenty years &g0. Andre Messager was engaged toi icompose the score. The greatest living master of the classic form nll opera comique, M. Messager has long ibeen an international figure. For {thirteen years he has been director of the Grand Opera House, Paris. The book was provided by Federick Lons- idale and the lyrics by Adrian Ross, In a decorative sense Mr. Gilbert Miller has been lavich with his pro- duction. The identical cast which played and sang “Monsieur Beaucaire” in London is assured here, both in prin- cipals and chorus, save in the case of Maggie Teyte, who created the role of Lady Mary in Eggland and who has been Buceeeded By Nancy Gibbs, a young English woman, Several of the principals are of grand opera rank, notably Marion Green, the American baritone, who sings and acts the title role. John Clarke, a young English tenor, sings the role of Molyneaux, Beaucaire's - friend. Robert Parker, seen here in “Parsi- fal” with Henry W. Savage's organi- zation and with Melba in concert, and Lennox Pawle. remembered from “Pomander Walk,” are other frmport- ant members of the cast. “Not So Long Ago.” “Not So Long Ago,” which ‘was first presented in Washington last spring, will be the attraction at the Shubert- Belasco Theater this week, begin- ning tonight, with the original Broad- way cast, headed by Eva, LeGallienne and Sidney Blackmer. “Not 8o Long Ago™ was written by Arthur _ Richman, the - magasine "~ | writer. Tt is a story of the days when New York had a population of million and Grant's third term was the burn- ing question of the hour, when hus- tles were at their biggest, trousers were uncreased and 'gentlemen wore maroon coats edged with velvet. The story is one of Kuickerbocker caste—the tale of an oid inventer, whose daughter, compelled to sew by the dxy. is engaged by the aristocratic Ballards and promptly begins to have an imsginary love affair with the son of the house in order to escape tha _sitentiona of ‘an. unwelcome ‘nedy, marriage, escapes to England dis-| g, suitor. Her romancing s brought to the car of the young aristocrat, and the true love affair begins. The company includes ‘Mary Ken- Betty Linley, Alice Bromley Wilson, Margaret Mosler, Leatta Mil- ler, Louise Treadwell, Thomas Mitch- ell, George Henry Trader, B. N. Lewin and F. M. Gillespie. “Ten Nights in a Barroom.” Robert Downing, the actor-evan- gelist, will appear here at the Shu- ert-Garrick Theater this week, opening tonight in “Ten Nights in 2 rroom,” under the management of Arthur C. Aiston, the New York pro- ducer and manager. The play has been a famous temperance crusader in its day. Mr. Downing says: “I drifted from the stage to the pulpit because I felt something telling me to do it, and the ten years I devoted to the cause of better living was an experience that I never regret. I will continue this work as an actor. I feel there is a fleld for it. The old play will be ade- quately staged and the cast will pre- sent competent players.” “Broadway Brevities.” Direct from a three months’ en- gagement at the New York Winter Garden, with a host of girls, clever dancers and an abundance of laugh- making material, George LeMaire'’s ‘Broadway Brevities” will begin a week's engagement at Poli's tonight. In scenic and costume effects it is credited with being one of the great- est spectacles yet staged at the Win- ter Garden. It enlists the services of more than iwenty principal players that keep the play in a continuous whirlwind of gayety, melody and _action. Bert Williams is said to have in it his greatest opportunity in many seasons. There are besides George McKay, who created the role of the “Tout” in “Honeydew;” George LeMaire, Ula Sharon, whoss graceful dancing is A mew scnsation; Nelson end_Cronin, Mildred = Richardson and Maurice Diamond. : More than twenty musical numbers were contributed by Con Conrad and Irving Berlin.
