flInasemefltg ePh@&tér —_—————————————— HEATRICAL life in Washington is beginning to bestir itself. In| 2 addition to the preliminary announcements expected at this time of the year, come bits of news of more or less interest to theater patrons. The first in importance, perhaps, is that the Shubert- its familiar advertising line runs, will henceforth, or at least until further announced that Mr. Ira J. La Motte will become its manager. Old- timers will pleasantly recall Mr. La Motte - when it was known as the La Fayette Squ Jpera House. theatrical manager of wide experience and ¢. senial qualities.

No mention, however, has yet come of quite popular nowadays in New York. * % ¥ X * % * % HE new International Theatrical Association, Inc., composed of play producers for the stage and the screen, of theater managers, stock managers, and, in fact, of every interest of the producing line: in the theater, which was recently organized in New York, has signally hon- ored Washington by the election of W. Harriman Rapley, the proprietor and manager of the National Theater of this city, as vice president of the organization. It may be added tht the new corporation did" honor to itself in the selection of a m# of Mr. Rapley’s experience in the theater to important office and a place in its councils. Other officers of the new organization are Walter Vincent, president ; Alfred E. Aarons, . secretary, and Winthrop Ames, treasurer. The organization is divided into groups representative of the various branches of theatrical pro- duction, each group of which will elect two representatives to the gov- erning board of the entire body, to whom is delegated full power to act in all matters. * ¥k ¥ ¥ ITTLE more than rumor indicates that Mr. L. Stoddard Taylor, for years the courteous and efficient manager of the Shubert-Belasco " ‘Theater in this city, has been placed, for the time being at least, in charge of the management of the Shubert-Garrick Theater. Mr. Taylor is said to be in the west at present, and will not arrive in Washington until about the first of September. The announcement of the Shubert-Garrick Theater in The Star today was received “with the compliments of L. Stoddard Taylor.” ND while announcements are in order mention should be made of the fact that Theda Bara—the only and original Theda Bara—will be seen in this city, “in the very near future,” at a prominent motion picture house, “making a personal appearance in a decidedly novel manner.” Miss Bara is said to be now at the studio making a two-reel picture which she will use in connection with her personal appearance, limited to twelve weeks. o % k % %k 'HE new musical comedy, “Tangerine,” with Julia Sanderson and Jack Hazard featured, according to Heywood Broun of the New York Tribune, emerged from its first ordeal with the verdict “It’s a good job all around.” Philip Bartholomae and Guy Bolton wrote the book, Howard Johnson the lyrics and Carlo Sanders the music. The same critic fails to find anything to shock anybody much in A. H. Wood's production of “Getting Gertie's Garter,” another new one of the current crop. In fact, he finds the new Avery Hopwood and Wilson Collison play “exceedingly vigorous and as sincere as a playful puppy.” The play, he says, is about a young man who gives a diamond-studded garter, with his picture on it, to a young woman, and then wants it back. * % k % 'ROM the director of publicity, New Amsterdam Theater, comes the news that Marilyn Millér, the former Follies girl. now a Ziegfeld . star, has bobbed her hair, and “the Marilyn Miller Bob” threatens to be- come more popular_than the celebrated “Castle Clip”; also that Miss Billie Burke is resting preparatory to being starred next season under the management of her husband, F. Ziegfeld, jr. Incidentally Billie has had another birthday, which was celebrated on the Ziegfeld private yacht anchored off Newport. Mr. Ziegfeld also announces that the Follies will play at the $5 scale of prices this season, instead of the '$4 scale of last year—“because the public knows a good thing and is willing to pay to see it.” k * % % * p MOkRIS GEST is said. to believe that girls who once worked in the chorus either have taken up other employment since the recent slump insstage productions or are taking vacations in very large numbers. Mr. .Gest.wants to send on the road “Mecca,” “Aphrodite,” “Chu Chin Chow” and “Afgar,” and was “absolutely amazed to learn from his stage mana- gers that they cannot engage chorus girls for the coming season.”” 4 i¥or . rEEE x ED metropolitan critic says that “Dulcy,” the three-act comedy by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connely, which recently made its appedrance in New York, develops an incidental satire directed against the makers of national advertising and motion pictures. “The intent of the playwrights has been to satirize the making of bromides, with Dulcy horrible example. This is an amusing pastime, but it does not to be as hilariously funny as the incidental satire.” 3 Dor * X X ¥ = WHILE Eugene Thomas Wyckoff was given the credit in.the program for the adaptation of “Sonya” from .the Polish, it is claimed that i Alonzo Klaw, son of Marc Klaw, the producer, is the real adaptor. Mr. Klaw is said to have lavished a good production, a competent cast and .sonsiderable care upon a play that can hardly fail to be obvious at all 't'?'!?’}‘nd which is slow-paced to the point of dullness throughout much 18§ its'Tength. It is a tale of a prince of the blood who loves a commoner, and who may not marry her until the end of the last act. “At its best, the vh’-:?fimereshng. although there never is much of a royal savor about ‘#,"A%@now and then it threatens to become a bedroom farce.” Violet Heming is credited with being the most successful member of the com- spany: atd with giving a spirited and colored performance. * % * * ALEXANDER ‘WOOLLCOTT says that Guy Bolton and Max Marcin’s ilew mystery play, “The Nightcap,” is virtually “a hilarious murder,” and adds, because of its gunplay, that “there remain some nervous souls who do hope the coming disarmament conference will give a thought to the American melodrama.” It is the story of a defaulting bank president who has to die so as not to defeat the effort of his creditors to-collect his life insurance. NG L * % k ¥ %ower of suggestion in popular songs is contagious. Now it has - Charles Forsythe Adams, the American baritone, singing, in a nice voice, something about “God ne:ding a songbird and calling for Caruso.” * %k X PHILIP KLEIN has secured the road rights to “Miss Lulu Betts” from Brock Pemberton, and will send it through the south with Emma Bunting in the title role. * % X % 3 ‘ T is reported that Arthur Hopkins has engaged John and Lionel Barry- . more, who will be presented individually in new plays and later [brought together for repertory. John Barrymore is now abroad to do a otion:picture, and Lionel is h‘ekre, engdged in pictures already. * %k J. SELZNICK is reported as saying there is no danger of it, but a + film_ strike among painters, electricians and carpenters in the otion pictures would be a blessing, because everybody is overloaded ith - pictures, meaning, of <ourse, the producers.

The music is by Milton E. Schwarzwald, the lyrics by Clff Hess, and the dancing was arranged by Miss Tremaine. It is described as a prescription in three scenes and the action revolves around a medical shark. It is elaborately costumed and seenically lavish. The'added attraction, Fradkin and Jean Tell, should prove delightful to ‘Washington music love Fradkin is noted as a great violinist, and for several seasons he was the concer master of the Boston Symphony Or- ehestra, his tenure, it i3 said, being longer than. that of any other musi- clan. Miss Tell is a distinguished soprano, prominent in concert and operatic work. They promise a. pro- gram rich in length and quality, fully fifteen numbers representing the best loved of the world's composers. Another attraction will be Paul Decker and _company in dwin Burke’s-new comedy, “1 Heard— in which gossiping is given a comic aspect.

Mr. Harrson will be remem- ibered for his singing of “I'm Always Chasing Rainbows,” a - song that, with the comedian’s peculiar talents at funmaking, was a brilliant success of the “Oh, Look™ show, while Miss Warren. has shone in both the Follies and in the Winter Garden shows. They will present here “She Cares for Me,” an act written by Een Ryan, which is replete with comedy situations, smart sayings and special songs. A ‘second feature will be an unusually beauti- ful dancing production, with music and scenic novelties, presented by Mlle.

The story, by Albert Payson Terhune, nov- and son of the ex-President elist and magazine writer, does not deal with a man who, fights with his fists or enters into brawls, t from his refusal to be “downed” in the commercial world, and the hero gains the title of “the fighter.” Thrills and romance abound. 1t will be supple- mented by minor films.
