good thing to give the front shutters a coat of green paint to gloss over the wear of time and 1ts consequent abrasions. It is often good to “assume a virtue though we have it not.” But sometimes it is very hard to get green paint and harder still to pucker the lips for a joy- ous whistle when things go too far wrong. At such times virtues real and assumed will take wings and fly away.

HENRY W. SAVAGE, when abroad last spring, spent’a fortnight in Vienna with Franz Lehar, and tried to induce him to come to America for the new production of “The Merry Widow.” The composer, however, declined, attributing as a reason, it is said, his fear of the perils of a first overseas voyage. Col. Savage hopes, however, he will feel dif- ferently when he produces Lehar’s newest opera, “The Blue Mazourka.” the American rights to which have been secured by the colonel. This gay and tuneful work is said to be a reigning light opera success in Europe at the present time. ¥ ok ok g A CLAIRE is said to be grieved that dramatic writers permit “such surface things as.morals” to obscure the fact that “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife” is “a new kind of farce which portrays the dramatic struggle of a man and a2 woman for supremacy.” and that “‘her role is that of a modern woman who is forced to demonstrate that she, too, is an individual with rights of her own that demand respect.” must admit that Ina has a good press agent. * % % ¥ HE suggestion has been ventured that the injection of the A. H. Woods type of farce into tabloid vaudeville bids fair to banish the word “polife” from that variety of entertainment. A Woods farce and in- sidiBus suggestions of monologists are enough to make one long for the return oi Plimpton B. Chase at times. Mr. Chase was one of those who helped materially to make vaudeville polite in ‘Washington. EE WASHINGTON playgoers are reminded that “A Buck on Leave,” which Sergt. Patrick Henry Barnes is bringing-to Washington this week, is presented for a very worthy cause. and that.-also, it'1s one of those mesry, iight-hearted projects that grew out of the. war,‘as well ds into the war, through the efforts of overseas soldiers who now find them a means of livelihood when employment is scarce'and:bonuses scarcer. * %k k ok ¢ 3 IT was unfortunate that a clever little play like “Everyday,” the work of Rachel Crothers, a®popular playwright, should have been overlooked by play lovers at the Garrick during the week. Perhaps personal con- venience enters largely in the choice of people in search of entertain- ment. But here was a genuine trcat, for the theme was both timely and interesting, and the play was excellently presented by a thoroughly capable company. The audiences were not niearly what they should have been. even for the Shubert{Garrick, which Manager Taylor has made quite as attractive as his New York limitations will permit. sk kK C A ALKER WHITESIDE is to be presented in a new work by Gordon Kean. entitled “The Hindu.” which s described as a serious play of modern ladia.

There is but one com- pany presenting Franz Lehar's be- witching operetta, and this comes in- tact from New Yor “The Merry Widow"” blends insinu- ating waltz themes, rattling march ‘tunes, a wealth of sentimental lyrics and a real plot of vibrant young ro-, manticism and bubbling humor. It has been sung in almost every lan- guage,_and hummed, whistled and waltzed to by millions of twinkling feet in every land. New scenes have been painted by Joseph Urban and Robert Bergman: new sowns, smart, brilliant and modish, devised by Peg- gy Hoyt.

S GARRICK—“A Buck on Leave.” ‘Washington playgoers will be given an opportunity of se€ing a real Armv show this weok—not an Army show made in America, but one made in France by an American soldier and presented by him “over there” for the benefit of his comrades. The play is “A Buck on Leave’ which will open a week's engage- ment at the Shubert-Garrick Theater tomorrow night. Sergt. Patrick Henry | Barnes, the author-producer, will pr sent it here and will appear in his original role of A. Buck, which he played fof six months over the A. E. F. circuit’ in France, following the signing of the armistice. With him will be other members of the original A. E: F. cast, including Larry Young and Alexander Winslow. and a com- pany of nearly 100 singers, dancers and comediavs. The role of the “buck,” as played by Sergt. Barnes, is a broadly humor- ous one and was drawn from life. Its satire is keen and the shafts of dough- boy wit he fires, although in a good- natured vein, appeal to both service men and civilian alike.

It is an Arthur Hammer- | stein production. The music is by Herbert Stothart, and the book and| Iyrics come from Otto Harback, Oscar Hammerstein, 2nd, and Frank Man- del. William Collier staged the piece and Bert French supervised the dances and ensembles. It is heralded as gorgeous in settings and costumes of exquisite taste, in two acts, and eleven screams, with Tinney as a “hefty feather,” so ticklishly funuy as to win the description of a mirth- quake of laughter, An all-Broadway company includes Vie Casmore, Lillian Ring, Grant and Wing.
