ements e Theater OMEWHERE in the annals of tragic humor is told the story of a man who slowly froze to death before he discovered his, serious need of a pair of shoes to protect his feet from the snows and ice of winter. And life itself is almost a daily record of those who perish for want of a home. The only bearing this can have upgn the thought of the moment is by analogy. Shelter and environment play 2 * large part in the life of the individual. Why may not they have a serious bearing upon the fate of an art? Which prompts the inquiry: Why under the sun has not Washington, the capital of one of the greatest nations on the face of the earth, at least one home of the drama, a structure of artistic design and architectural beauty, to which Americans might point with pride, “to the hosts of incoming foreign visitors, as an evidence that we are not, as they generally believe us, idolaters of but | one thing in the world, and that the almighty dollar? Think of it—a world capital with no structure worthy to suggest that our thoughts are | ever deeply occupied with that art which reflects all that makes any art worth while—life itself! Enterprise has given us more than one beautiful temple devoted to the photoplay; vaudeville has at least one structure of which it need not be ashamed; even burlesque has a place whose in- terior, however modest the outside, furnishes an attractive and a com- fortable home for its entertainment. The drama alone is n:gle;cted here in this chief city of a nation that is rearing its head with pride as the intellectual and moral equal of any on carth. Whose fault is it that we + have no Washington theater commensurate with the dignity of the city of which we are so proud? D-\ILY we are in receipt of floods of press matter recording what is being done elsewhere in the erection of beautiful temples devoted to the play. Occasionally the Messrs. Shubert, who have done so much for and to the theater in this country, cause us to be informed of their acquisition of property elsewhere for the erection of hauds?.me and costly edifices devoted to the drama. Their “beautiiul theater§, we are told, number in the hundreds—but they are elsewhere. In \’sthlngton‘ they house their dramatic productions in a government structure, once beautiful and appropriate in every way to the purpose for which it was .devoted, but now long since past the stage that pleases the eye or even the feeling of comfort which one likes to have in witnessing a play; and in another, which never could have been intended for play presentation— small, cramped, lacking in stage and dressing room facilities, and even in a respectable vestibule at the front door. The one really desirable house under their control in Washington, which long enjoyed the patron- age of our best people, has been converted into a temple of jazz, as though the intelligence and taste of paying patronage in Washington arose to no higher level. It is a distinct reflection upon our city, and it is pointed out here, because David Belasco, for whom it is named, and the Messrs. Shubert, who have acquired its cont and who also book a majority of the attractions for our patronage, §re strangely neglect- ful, or else ieel little gratitude for the splendid support Washington has given them in their enterprises of the past. * %k k X WASHL\'GTOX, thereiore, is leit to turn alone to the National Theater, with its historic career and its splendid traditions, as its best local , home of drama. Those who live here year in and year out have never failed in appreciation of the fact, and their unwavering patronage has ever been a strong support to its management in providing for the people of intelligence and refinement at the nation's capital the highest and best in dramatic attainment. Yet even the National, with its high pres-{ tige, is not such a temple devoted to the theater as our people should have to praperly reflect their culture and their taste,’and to worthily represent us before the nations of the world which now have their spot- light turned full upon us. Whose duty is it to “get busy”? X * Xk X ¥ ND now comes Charlie Chaplin, whom some of us in our enthusiasm are calling “the greatest comedian of the screen.” to say that “Ameri- . can screen stars and producers must look to their laurels, if they are to keep pace with the progress which foreign motion picture concerns are making in the,development of the silent dramatic art.” Mr. Chaplin, however English he may be, is riveted to America as a screen entertainer, and he is naturally vitally interested in the success of the American product. He is quoted as saying that these foreign producers, particular- ly in Germany, Sweden and England, take their work very seriously ; more so than most Americans engaged in their line. “They recognize that we are ahead of them in technique, but they believe they are ahead of us in story value. They are strong for realism and subtlety in their stories. They say .we have too many bedroom farces and sex plays, and I agree with them.” He says they also charge that our stories are too ebvious, too made-to-order, and that they lack the convincing appeal of that which is faithful to real life. He further believes that only original stories written especially for the screen will be the salvation of the American producer. Asked if he intended to give up comedy and go in for serious drama, the clever comedian laughed and replied, “I don't kuow, but [ hope to make comedy.” * * FEES * % SHREWD observer. writing for the New York press, says that Marshall Neilan may not have intended to revolutionize motion pic- res when he produced “Bits of Life,” but that is what his picture may And how? He took four modern short stories, and, by making him- i the rcader of the magazine in which they appeared, produced them as one “feature” picture. “In itself it is full of variety and interest and idea, and is certain to be liked.” * %k % ¥ ILLIAM HART. the famous screen star, was gsked if, when he left West Point 'to go on the stage, he had made up his mind to be any- thing in particular. “No,” he replied, “I just knew that I wanted to be noble.” .t do. % %k Xk * ORMA TALMADGE'S new picture, “The Wonderful Thing,” marks the initial appearance on the screen of Mrs. Lydig Hoyt, the well known society leader. * % k % T may be comforting to those recent patrons of the Scotti Grand Opera Company's performance of “La Boheme” who felt aggrieved because Scotti himself did not appear in the cast, as they expected he would, to know that Baltimore found his periormance of “Tosca” uninspiring. * = * % 1SS BILLIE BURKE, Mme. Alla Nazimova and Mr>and Mrs. E. H. Sothern have been invited to be the guests of honor at th i- can Legion's Armistice ball at the Waldorf-Astoria, New \r'oark 'lshl:\:;l(f:: 1 Y A SPANISH FALSTAFF. CHARACTER in the play “Spanish Love” that at once engages the eye and presently captures also the Kkeen interest is Pepuso, the bluster- ing. boastful, arrogant “native son” of the province of Murcia, who displays - his patriotism by wearing the old pic- turesque costume of the land; swear- ing both by its traditions. and by word of mouth, and defying its law. In the phrase of the day, Pepuso might be called “100 per cent Mur- cian.” It is a well drawn character, of a type that has always been pop- alar on the stage and belongs to that gallant company of witty blusterers of which Falstaff will always remain the leading figure. Pepuso, of whatever nationaiity he may be, is a great lover of maxims and proverbs. The Spanish have been such industrious makers of happy phrases, through all their history, that the dramatist had but little difficulty in finding a proverb to fit almost any a_ that might come into Pepuso’s mind. And most of the proverbs of Spain have a vigor and thrust not possessed by the proverbs of other nations< ‘When an Englishman says, “A man i{s known by the company he keeps,” the Spaniard says: “He that lies down with dogs gets up with fleas,” or “he that does with wolves learns to howl.” The Spanish counterpart of ‘“Out of the frying pan into the fire§ is “He ran from the bull and fell into the river.” Where we say of a hypo- critical man that “butter would not melt in his mouth” the Spaniard says: “PThe cat is friendly. but scratches,” or «The devil lurks behind the cross. So numerous and various are the proverbs of Spain, indeed. that for Thany of them we have, in English, no corresponding proverb. . Here, for in- stanos, are a few Spanish sayings that are hi to match exactly in our tongue: “Man is fire, woman tow and “¢the devil comes and bIows"; “A gu Aad 4 Ash smell after the third day’ “A lie has short legs”; * “]\:.t E‘I;I‘)Dtsl ill has E lie Yzi‘gy.?’rcher espite Pepuso's blusterin habits of overstatement, he isg BfutrE‘g all, rather the “god of the machine” in the working out of the story of “Spanish Love.” Like many a Pepuso in real life, he brings clearly to the minds of his fellows the underlying principle involved,in a problem by the very splendor of his exaggeration Altogether, the Pepusos of the world are rather useful citizens—the Pepuso of the play is certainly a delightful figure of the stage. | *“Location.” NE of the breeziest, brightest and m@st laughable of the big-time vaudeville acts of the season is the moving picture satire called “Loca- tion,” which will be shown here this week by the Leon Kimberly-Helen Page Company. It presents, in an amusing way, some of the difficulties in making screen productions, and shows why, often, the director is a smaller creature in their creation than the star, who likes.to have things her ! way. "It is. supposed to show how al picture feature is made, and travesties all the thrills of “rescuing the wound- ed hero" and the “happy ending.” It comes to Washington heralded with a veritable flood of praise from the vaudeville theaters where it has been presented. —_—— George Bernard Shaw is quoted as! saying in response to a question as to his_coming to America this winter: “I have no intention either of going to prison with Debs or taking my wife to Texas, where the Ku Klux Klan snatches white women out of hotel verandas and tars and feathers them,” together with something about Ireland being- less dangerous. Strange how the brightest of them are the blindest where America is concerned. or is It that they have a reason for not seeing? ~ WASHINGTON, ELSIE JaNid ETrEL. CLAYTON Dalace D.

NATIONAL—Elsie Janis. “Elsie Janis and Her Gang” are to be at the National Theater this week, commencing this evening. Miss Janis has just returned from a long en- gagement abroad, having been an ac- tress-manager in London for nearly a year and head of her own company in Paris for a similar length of time. Miss Janis' new review—every line is new, it is declared—is still known as “Elsie Janis and Her Gang. She has all her old company of former military men with her. Jurien Thayer sings as beautifully as ever- and Charlie Lawrence, Bill Reardon, Brad- ley Knoche, Frank Miller and all the rest are said to be proving again that they are just as good actors as they were soldiers. Nor has she forgotten the girls; “the elght Bobs” have parts that fit them and are a whole show in themselves. This entertainment, both new and unique to Washington, was written and staged entirely by Miss Janis, and many of the catchy musical numbers are hers, but she did not hesitate to call to her assistance men like Herman Finck., George S. Hirst, Wwilliam B. Kernell and Sevmour imon. The herald of Miss Janis' production does not hesitate to declare it the best possible review ever assembled. GARRICK—“Everyday.” Miss Rachel best known authors of the present day, is the author of a new play en- titled “Everyday” which Mary -H. Kirkpatrick will present at the Shu- bert-Garrick Theater this week, be-’ ginning tomorrow evening. The presentation of “Everyday”.is of interest not only because it was written by such a prominent feminine author, but_also because its manager, Mary H. Kirkpatrick, is the only | woman member of the Theatrical Pro- ducing Managers' Association. The story also is essentially a fem- inine one, for it visualizes certain problems which confront a young girl in’everyday life today in any Amer- ican city. Without spoiling the pleas- ure by telling the plot in advance, it may be stated that Miss Crothers’ play centers around people in an everyday town, thinking everyday thoughts, wearing everyday clothes, who are aroused and shocked .and thrilled by the entrance of a girl—a seeming idealist, whose “ideas seem impractical for the living of every- day life. Her father is a strong man whose notion of success is as defi- nite as hers—but her mother, who has seldom sai@ anything for herself, awakens to a realization that he daughter is merely living out the principles she wes taught as a child, and in the end helps to free the girl from another everyday existence. The cast includes Tallulah Bank- ead, Minnie Dupree, Lucile Watson, Frank_Sheridan, Mary -Donnelly, Vin- cent Coleman and- Don Burroughs. Miss Crothers has not only written the play. but it has been staged under ber personal supervision. Crothers, among the! POLI'S—“Spanish Love.” Wagenhals & Kemper's notable production of “Spanish Love,” which was produced in Washington a year ago, will open this evening an en- gagement of one week at Poli's The- ater. The presentation of this remarkable play is regarded.as an unusual the- atrical achievement, since the manner of its staging is quite out of the ordinary. The effect gained is strik- ing and beautiful, and lends, more- over. a-peculiar realism to the dra- matic episodes. “Spanish Love" is the joint work of Avery Hopwood and Mary Roberts Rinehart, and, is founded upon a famous Spanish play called “Maria del Carmen.” A French version called “Aux Jardins des Murcie," re- cently ran for a year at the Theater Antoine in Paris. In a picturesque and almost melodramatic fashion the play reveals the life of the peasantry in the province of Murcia, in south- eastern Spain; and. concretely, it | deals with a feud that is pregnant with the elemental passions of love, | hate, greed and vengeance. ] _Los Caritos, the famous Spanish dancers from the Royal Opera House, Madrid, were brought to this country_especially for this produc- tion. The performance is further { enlivened by a full orchestral score of incidental Tusic composed by H. { Maurice Jacquet. g The large company Talma, Willilam H. Powell, Cahill Wilson, Edwin Mordant, Thomas Coffin Cooke. Max von Mitzel, Albert Tavernier, Harry Cowley, Eileen Wil sen.and Kenyon Bishop. includes Zola B. F. KEITH'S—Adelide and a Hughes. B. F. Keith's Theater this week, commencing aty the matinee tomor- row, will offer “Adelaide and Hughes and Miss Juliet.

"Her act is termed “A One-Girl Revue,” with Duane Bassett at_the piano. - Lew Dbckstader will, for many, fill a place that no other can stop-gap, unfolding a new.view. of things mun- dane on “Normalcy.” a subject that covers a multitudé of mirthful topics.

Granddaughter of a senator, who represented the state of Alabama for twenty-eight years, and the daugh- ter of a present representative from Miss Bankhead is by no | means a stranger to Washington so- | ciety. Her grandfather was Senator John H. Bankhead, and her father is Representative William B. Bank- | head. Although born in Alabama most of her early life was spent in Washington, D. C.. where she studied | first at the Washington Seminary, and later at the Academy of the Holy Cross. i Even in her school days Miss Bank- | head was determined to go upon the | stage, and as soon as she had secured | the family permission she succeeded | in seouring an introduction to Rachel | Crothers, whose first successful play. “39 East.” was then about to be pro- duced. Miss Bankhead made her stage debut in a small part in this BELASCO—Lew Fields. Lew Fields, the noted comedian, with a company of twenty-five enter- tainers, in a pretentious revue in seven scenes called “Snapshots of 1921," will headline the program of Shubert vaudeville at the Belasco this week, beginning with the matinee to- morrow.

When Miss Binney left the cast to appear in moving pictures Miss Bankhead was selected as her successor, 8o that she became a lead- ing lady her first year on the stage. She next played with Emily Stevens in the second role of a play called <'Footloose” and during the past year she has been plaving the part of a catlty young woman with Francine Larrimore, in “Nice People,” another play by Rachel Crothers. The Everyday daughter of an Everyday American Citizen went out to see the world—to travel and to learn more than the Everyday truths she had been taught as a child. Her father had ambitions—ideals he call- ed them—and he wanted his daughter to be different. She came back home and she was different, because she had clung to the Evervday truths of her copybook days—while those among whom she came to live had discarded them—they were nice to teach their children, but they weren't practical for Everyday life—at least that ts what they told her—but she would not believe them and she had courage. This, briefly, is the story of “Everyday.” least the picture will take precedence over the vaudeville.
