No connection with any house of similar name elsewhere. 8 TO 614 ELEVENTH ST. NATIONAL—“Zi: “Zizl.” presented at the National Theater last night, is an incoherent concoction with an unpleasant theme. The idea of a man hiring a girl to aid him In making evidence that will enable his wife to obtain a divorce The House of Courtesy which to build a play, even if it is only a farcical comedy. There can hardly be two opinions about its im- propriety. The play has witty lines Then there are times when the action drags and humor becomes somewhat thin. For instance, the scenc in which Zizi (of the chorus) demon- startes the difference in Kisses rows to be tiresome. Only the excellent acting of ‘a very capable cast makes the play entertaining. Irene Fenwick as Zizi, is winsome and vivacious and maintained her high reputation by her charm _and alluring naturalness. Louis Benrigon as the husband. Who has learned his wife loves another and is willing to sacrifice himself for her happiness, is convincing in a bIUff, hearty manner in his portrayal of the man other characters in the play describe. Carlotta Monterey as his wife was adequate to the require- ments of the role. Helen Lowell as the warm-hearted housekeeper show- ed self-restraint in not allowing her impersonation to become burlesque as it might very easily be. George Graham as the valet was the typical valet of the stage and fiction. Ken- neth Hill gave an amusing picture of a foppish genius. with fickle af- fections and an eye to the main chance. Morgan Wallace gave a breezy interpretation of a susceptible physician, who scemed to be on the point of winning Zizi's love. but there the authors got in their little joke. Instead of the doctor being made happy for life, the husband. discover- ing that Zibi had a regard for him. promptly dispatched his wife to Reno with the genius and the promise of a million and made violent love to Ziai, which she accepted. The joke is on the audience, too. for it had looked forward to the reconciliation of husband and wife and the union Featuring a “Special” Group of e paices= and outshone stage favorites in present- ing “Somebody’s Lion,” the thirty-third annual production of the famous Mask and Wig Club of the university before a brilliant saciety gathering in the Be- lasco Theater last night. i 1t was essentially a_dancing musical comedy, resplendant with the most fas- cinating and artistic costuming seen here for many years. ‘‘Somebody's Lion” was described as a “Nautical Tail in Two Knots” by its author, E. M. Lavino. The music and lyrics which will be hummed, whistled and sung on the campus for vears, were by Charles Gilpin, These joint authors headed the committee on production, with Charles S. Morgan, jr., personally directing. The presentation was smooth through- out and devold of any trace of amateur theatricals and outdoing professionalism in the “we love to do this” spirit, with which the collegians gyrated and re- gyrated in response to many encores in intricate solo and ensemble dances that required well trained athletes to stand the strain. It was hard to pick favorites among the generous number of chorus dances, but probably those which drew the most enthusiastic applause and called for encores most persist- ently were the Russian dance finale for the first “Knot” and the Mirror Dance feature, which came just before the close of the show. “Cave Man- pers,” by “John,” H. B. DeVinny and “éulm" the South Sea Island Vamp, impersonated most convincingly by P. B. Hartenstein, was probably the most strenuous number. It would be unfair to all those who took their parts so well to single out any who surpassed. Among those who won hearty applause were F. H. Ledyard, C. E. Cane, J. H. Hoff, L. J. McEvoy and P. B. Hartenstein. The play opens with a house party on a private yacht, with a pseudo Russfan duke hidden away, intended by the mother as the future husband of “Nanine." The second scene is on a South sea island, where the father of Nanine is a missionary among can- nibals. Nanine and her boyhood sweetheart, John Smith, have escaped to this island. The rescue is effected by a humane lion and the ship's crew led by John Smith.
