AMUSEMENTS BELASCO—*“Sleeping Partners.” The summer season of dramatic Productions to be présented by the re- cently organized Belasco Players was inaugurated auspiciously last even- ing at the Shubert-Belasco Theater. A large audience hraved the threal ©of rain and generously applauded the Performance of Sachy Guitry’s “Sleep- Ing Partners,” by Wanda Lyon, Earle Foxe and their support. Miss Lyon and Mr. Foxe, who have won a large Place in the hearts of thelocal theater- | going public, were greeted enthusi- astically upon their appearance and were forced to respond to repeated | curtain calls, Their popularity ati the Garrick has been duplicated at the uptown playhouse. The intention of the management is to present suc- cessesthat are absolutelynew to Wash- ington audiences, and the initial pro- duclon was highly successful. As is well known, the play was well received in New York, where the part por- trayed by Wanda Lyoen last night was enacted by Irene Bordonl. The farce 18 a slight affair presenting the ex- perfences of a young Parisian matron and her gay husband. who meet in the apartment of a friend, part for the evening and discover each other in the same apartment in the morn- Ing. Interest, of course, depends upon the exceilence of the portrayal by the actors. The first act was un-{ doubtedly the best. Wallis Clark, as} the gay husband, Wanda Lyon, asi the somewhat neglected wife, and Earle Foxe, as the debonairre pur- Suer of the wife, were thoroughly convincing In_the portrayal of their respective roles. The play has a Gallic flavor and is full of wit that was enjoyed thoroughly. The dual indiscretion of husband and wife mere indiscretion that w 1 to both and resulted in increas mestic felicity and loyalty. It speaks highly for the dramatic ability players that three persons only afford an evening per- hardly more sonated the sc than a select character, thoush he | \¢'Indcpendence Hall in Philadelphia Zave the part all the prominence ths | ¥he battie of Lexington, the winter at ‘as called for_and performed it |\'aliey Fo he fir e of the Crealtably .

The Belasco Players ha every reason to be proud of their initial effort. The music played by the orchestra, directed by Paul J Schwartz, deserves mention. GARRICK PLAYERS. There was no element of reasonable doubt hovering in the atmospaere to We Will Clean, mothproof and store tions. Miss Megrew has the role of the “villainess” and makes it so charming as to provide a psycholog- ical excuse for the frailty of the male whom she has so mercllessly Namped.” The cold-hearted lawyer whose role the story places opposite to that of Harrigan in the confiict of interest, is played by Dennis King, whose dls: tinct enunclation Is a delight and whose easy yet forceful bearing lends convincing interest to a part not essentially sympathetio in its appeal. There wus no place in the cast for John Kline, whose work in “The Boomerang” as the police officlal was s0 contenting, nor for Marle Drofnah, who contributed a solid basis of legitimate aating to that weird and rather Inartistic play, “The Hole in the Wall.” They will no doubt be seen in other productions for which elaborate arrangements are now in progress. Sufficient unto the night is the play thereof. “The Acquittal” is a drama reflecting the taste for studies of criminal perversity; but with a style of its own and liberal opportunities for actors—opportunities, which these Garrick Players utilize with the ut- most skill. PHILANDER JOHNSON. Photoplays. STRAND—“Spirit of '76.” Opportunity was given the people of Washington at the Strand Theater yesterday to view for the first time rt Goldstein's thrilling produc- tion, “The Spirit of '76." the picture, which during the world war caused ch a hubbub, ending in its suppres- on and the imprisonment of its au- thor-producer. Judged by the tre- mendous applause that greeted the many tense scenes relating to his- toric happenings in the American revolution, the subsequent vindica- tion of Mr. Goldstein by government authorities was justified. The production deals with dramat- ic episodes both in America and Eng- land during the dark days when the founders of the republic were risking their all for liberty. Such thrilling oc- rences as_Paul Revere's ride, the ning of the Declaration of Inde- :ndence, the ringing of liberty bell (Continued on Twelfth Page.)
