Gilda Varesi in - ; “Enter Madame" 'NTER MADAME” was first pre- sented on any stage by Brock Pemberton in August, 1920. It intro- duced Miss Gilda Varesi at the Gar- rick Theater, New York city. The success of star and vehicle was irstantaneous and a larger theater was soon required to accommodate the throngs that came to see the per- formanoa, The Fulton was then se- cured and the production transferred to that theater, where it continued on its prosperous career well into the summer months. It was withdrawn, while yet playing to big patronage, to permit Miss Varesl to secure a much-needed rest. “Enter Madame” has now been on tour since early August, 1921, and within two weeks of its local engage- ment Miss Varesi and the majority of her company will sail for England to appear in its London presentation at the Royalty Theater February 13. “Enter Madame” was written by Miss Varesi in collaboration with Dolly Byrne, and “madame” is her character. Lisa Della Robbla is an opera star, and when the curtain rises on the first act of the play her hus- band, who has not seen her in five years, is being ministered to by an attractive and beguiling widow. The husband is philandering just a wee bit, and, liking it, has notified the tur- bulent Lisa, then in Europe, that he is going to obtain a divorce. So far, 80 good, but madame decides to come to America and then the fun begins, for this pampered prima donna pos: sesses an artistic temperament devel- oped to the 'nth dégree. But to di- vulge how, even after the divorce is granted, Lisa wins back her former mate and triumphantly carries him away would be to unfold too much of the intriguing plot. A Young Vaudevillian. ALTBOUGH he is only eighteen years of age, Nat Nazarro, jr., is a star in vaudeville. In his brief span of life he has spent eleven years on the stage, and hard effort has brought him the prominence of having his name in electric bulbs. and Saturday, all-comedy night. Olympic.

Nat, however, shows a distinct lean- ing toward music, particularly the cello, and he is accounted an accom- plished musician. A few years ago, he blossomed out with the Atlantic Fleet Jazz Band, which established him firmly in the headline class. Today he has a jazz sextet and other specialists in his company. As for Nat, he is versatility personified, for he sings, dances, plays and turns flip-flops with equal enthusiasm. Mary's Wedding Ring. LITTLE boys do not wear wedding rings.

Xmas Scene at Palace. NGELO J. RATTO, the musical assistant manager, and Walter Col- left the theater last Tuesday night, began the task of turning the prome- nade and club room of the balcony floor into a gorgeous Christmas scene. By a novel array of colored glasses, a veritable electric garden of gorgeous flowers was made to bloom on the ma: ble mantel above the clubroom fire- place, two Christmas trees were install- ed, illuminated with electric lights of all colors and with Christmas orna- ments, while the floor for yards around took on a mossy texture never put there by the bullders. The result is one of the most fetching and wholly charming Christmas corners to be found anywhere in Washington.

Annie Laurie, From the Detroit News. The whole English-speaking rac knows the old Scotch ballad, “Annic Laurie,” but not all know that Annic was a Scotch-lassie who llved during] the last quarter of the seventeenth cen tury and the first quarter of the eight/ eenth. She was a daughter of Robert Laurie, a Scotch baronet. In the Lauri( family register is this entry: “At th pleasure of God, my daughter, Annid Taurie, was born on the 16th d: o December, 1682, about 6 o'clock in morning, and was baptized by Mr George Hunter (minister of Glencairn).
