A WASHINGTON, D. C, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 12, taf. 1921. N [ Theaters | : Part 3—8 Pages a summer season of dramatic entertainments. As has been here- tofore puislisied, a stock company has been engaged for the season here. The old favorites will not appear, but Manager Ed- wards gives the assurance that the company will be a thoroughly capable one, including prominent members of Walter Hampden's organization. No Sunday performances will be given, and only two matiness a week, quite a change from the two-a-day petformances that stock companies have had to face in tha past. The season will open June 20, with the amusing “Adam and Eva,” which was received with so much favor earlier % the season. Assurance is given that the plays to follow will be of an equally high class. SO far as has been announced, only the Garrick Theater will conduct HENRY SANTRY Keiths * ¥ % X WORD has been received that Mrs. C. C. Calhoun, whose play, “A Mar- riageable Mother,” was received with much favor at the Belasco re- cently, will organize a stock company to give plays outdoors at the Sylvan theater on the Dean Place, Connecticut and Florida avenues, under the auspices of the Woman's National Foundation, Murray Ben- nett, the voung New York actor, who portrayed the part of Karatoff, the Russian bolshevist, in “The Marriageable Mother,” has been engaged to take a leading part in the outdoor performances of the proposed stock company. * ¥ * ¥ 7 FTHE TURN OF THE ROAD,” which will be seen here this week, is irom the pen of Augustus E. Thomas, author of comedies, “The Rainbow,” “Just Suppose” and “The Champion.” Mr. Thomas’ play is described as a “slice of life presented in play form.” It is neither melo- drama or farce, it makes no effort to reform world politics or world thought. It was written to entertain, to reveal in humorous fashion an experience that at one time or another befalls every‘human being. The title is derived from Mr. Thomas' presentation of the problem that in- variably confronts us when we come to a turn in the road of our affairs. It answers the question.of “What lies just around the corner?” * k¥ E LAMB'S GAMBOL filled the Hippodrome in New York the other night and netted nearly $14,000 for the notable actors’ club. Some of those taking part on the stage or in the pit were Victor Herbert, Irving Fisher, Glen MacDonough, Irving Berlin, A. Baldwin Sloane, Gitz Rice, Victor Jacobi and the entire Lambs’ membership. * % % % A\' unusual name has been chosen for a theater which is being built on West 45th street in New York, and will open in September. It will be called the Music Box, and will be opened with an entertainment that will be styled Irving Berlin’s “Music Box Revue.” * %k X ¥ EUGENE O'NEILL holds the record for the largest number of plays +< produced in New York the last season. Including “Gold,” now play- ing at the Frazee. Mr. O'Neill has contributed four plays in the last year. The others are “The Emperor Jones,” “Diff'rent” and “The Moon of the Caribbean.” A NOTABLE collection of entertainers has been assembled for the coming presentation of the “Ziegfeld Follies.” The cast includes Raymond Hitchcock. Vera Michelena, Ray Dooley, Mary Eatin, Mary Milburn, Florence O'D_enmsshawn. Mary Lewis. Van and Schenck, W. C. gxclds. John Clark, O'Donnell and Blair, Frank and Albert Innis, Janet i__wfle, Mandel brothers, Edna Wheaton, Jessie Reed, Pearl Germonde, anny Brice, Germaine Mitty and M.

The players have already presented [he Tents of the Arabs,” by Lord Dunsaney; “Simon, the Cyrenian,” by Ridgely Torrence, and “The Emperor flones," by Eugene O'Neill.
