Nationally Known Store for Men and Boys : THE AVENUE AT NINTH ¢ Daily, 8:30 to 6 mavm Amusements NATIONAL—"The Merry Widow.” A very beautitul production of “The )3Merry Widow.” Franz Lehar's charm- !ing operetta, which Washington saw | something more than twelve years| ago for the first time, is being pre- sented by Col. Henry W. Savage at the Natioral Theater this week, It is beautiful not only in magnificent stage settings and handsome cos- tumes. but also In the weaith of vocal and human embellishment which is rarely found in modern productions and was a rarity even in days when producers had a care for art and for the public taste. i Twelve years since the original pro- duction. which Col. Savage also made with Frances Cameron, Donald Brian. {then the waltz king of the stage; R. H. Graham and others, for the most | Partnow forgotten, ie fong enough to give to the merry, melodious little {story of Sonia and the Prince Danilo the flavor of novelty and yet not long enough to escape inevitable compar- IISDH with the story as rresented. Yet, withal, a generous audience iast evening seemed delight- {ed. and applause and demands for en- ore, which were frequentiy given, in- dicate the inherent entertainment quality of the operetta as well as a cordial indorsement of Col. Savage's effort to lighten the gloom of the av- erage theatrical entertainment of to- day with something from the past,| presented at its best. Lydia_ Lipkowska of the Imperial Opera, Petrograd, Is the Sonia of to- day. quite a difterent Sonia from Frances Cameron. Beautiful, of the! blonde type, graceful and dainty in action and with a high soprano, light at times and yet at others full and sweet in its volume and delightful in it flexibllity. 1t was heard at ita| test, perhaps. in s'Vilya.” but that, of course, is a matter of taste. Re: nmdl Fasch of the Rembrandt Theater: Am- sterdam, is the Donald Brian of to- | day. ‘and vet he is not Donald, al- {thoUgh he has a pleasing personality and a light tenor voice of Iyric quality that is not yet heard at its best. Frank Webster of the D'Oyley Carte Opera Company, London, as de Tolidon. both plays and aings his role with vigor and effect. He has a ro- bust tenor of very pleasing quality, and some of his work was very fine. Dorothy Francis of the Chicago Grank Opera Company., as Natalte, was completely satisfylng. She has the charm of personal beauty apd a delightful voice, which she handles with the skill of the singers art Georges Dufranne of the Gaite Ly- rique, Paris, as the Marquis Cascadn, is another fin» singer who gives (o the cast an international distinction, And vet. somehow, it is Jefrerson de Angelis who gives a homelike com. fort to the distinguished galexy and makes one feel that Col. Savage in his effort to provide the best for his splendid revival of the Lehar oper- etta had not overlooked America. | Raymon Crane as the Marsovian am- sador also contribufes materially ta the performance, and his echo of the Fritz Emmett yodel on one occasion made the audlence feel that the chasm from the past had been successfull bridged. An’ interpretative dance in_ the third act by D'Andrea and Walters was much liked. and was repeated more than once in respon. to insistent an- t was first SERVICE COUNTS Our rental department is prepar- ed to give immedlate service ta all who rent typewriters.

It waa graceful and interest- ing and illustrated becomingly how the nude need not necessarily be of- fensive to art. “The Maxim Girls” are all that one might expect of them, beateous in face, form and fashion, and one of them at least had the little modern phoulder twitch of the Broadway revue. An enlarged orchestra, excellently conducted, played the beautiful music of the operetta delightfully and with- out trespass upon the vocalists—and the music is beautiful, even the fam- ous waltz, as béautiful as when its fascinating strains first charmed Washington. POLI'S—Frank Tinney, in “Tickle Me.” The title of Frank Tinney's “musi- girl” vehicle, which was presented at Poli's Theater last night, is evidently intended to reflect the mental attitude —not deflant, but rather hopeful—of the members of the audience as they take their seats. And there was no disappointment generally at Poli's ‘Theater, where it was presented last| night. | There is a song during the enter-| tainment which was reflective of the. attitude of the audienc ‘1f a Wish Could Make It So.” They were wish- ing for diversion and laughter, just as much as the members of the cast were wishing to furnish it. Both wishes seemed to make it so. for Mr. Tinney and his aids all showed they were trying “to make it s0” and the audience was most receptive and ap- preciative. Mr. Tinne drollery, chiefly pre- sented in white face, and the rendi- tion of the song alreadv mentioned by Margaret Crews, Marie Shelton, Louise Boslet, . Eleanor Franko, Ger- aldine Carpenter, Irene Anderson and! Lottie Graham, will probably be re- membered longer than any other fea- tures of this entertainment, which Arthur Hammerstein has brought to | Washington. Mr. Tinney still uses his familiar methods of provoking - laughs. by indulging in interruptions of specialties that seem as sponta- neous as if they never had been put over before. While he is on the stage there is almost continuous laughte And his speech of thanks for a plause, ranging from a description of the voyage of Columbus from Colum- bus, Ohlo, to discover America, to the value of monkey glands, with a post- script about his entrance into the rdilitary service during the world war as a captain, which he camerted was the lowest rank obtainable in Washington at that time, was a gem of wit. Each of the girls who sang added a clever bit In the many verses of the outstanding musical hit and the audience demanded one cncore after another. Generally the score of Herbert Stothart is as tuneful as it is lively, 17th and Penna. Ave. N.W. .
