AMUSEMENTS NATIONAL—Alice Brady in “Zan- der, the Great.” The title “Zander, the Great.” sug- gests @ story about a magiclan, and this new play by Sallsbury Fleld, in which piquant Alice Brady s starred this week at the National Theate: the story the greatest of all magiclans, a sweet, conflding little ichild. The audience’ which witnessed the first performance of this comedy | It night seemed to fall as complete- {1y under the spell of this little child's | charms as the characters in the play { themselves. | 'Little Edwin Mills plays the title |role of Zander—short for Alexander | P.

Many were drawn to Keith's last night, doubtless to sce Mrs. Jean | Acker Valentino, former wife of the moving plcture star. The housé was crowded in every part. Mrs. Valen- tino was in an inte sketch entitled Regular G demonstrated that she has real his- trionic ability. The sketch deals with | the flapper world. The leading man livas wrecked the life of a sister of the star and she decides on revenge using the man’s sister to square a counts. The dramatic climax, ver strong, but unpleasant, shows the man leaving with bowed head, while the star moralizes on the ways of the | sterner sex in destroying the sisters of others, overlooking the fa that |their own may fall by the wayside. A “happy ending” comes when the star explains that the man's sister has been making believe to convey th!nflwn Friday evening as well as for its weekly patrons who, at yesterday and last evening' formances were generous contrib tors to the fund for the Vaudeville Actors’ Assoclation, which has been heavily taxed through the year by illne: nd non-employment of vaude- ville performers. Three splendid headliners are out- standing attractions. f these, “Hilda,” one of the most laughable comedy offerings of the sewson, l& ted by Billy Swede Hall and his excellent company. It revolvi around a strikingly funny Swedish girl elevator-operator, whose quaint aughter continuou: Naynon's Birds, of the paroquet, cockatoo and macaw ty, are both beautiful and wonderful. One of them, with its magnificent plumage, poses for vi etyles of milady” another marchet others roll down a and still another astonishes with its mathematical de- ductions. It {s the best bird act ever seen in Washington. Jackson' Musical Matls are a dream of har- mony and the quintessence of feml- nine comedy that must needs be seen and heard to be fully appre- ciated.

GAYETY—“American Girls.” The Gayety Theater this week of- fers Dan Coleman, a jovial Irish comedian, and the “American Girls” in & “musical farce.” It is a farce, true enough, and when it is over it leaves the audience wondering what it was all about, but as for music there is a. lack of good voices the company.

It was a well chosen program, neither too vy nor too light, although the synco- pated serenading of the mandolin club, which proved highly popula: detracted a bit from the high qual- ity of the remainder of the program. Some of the finest work of the club was in “Deep River.,” by Bu leigh, where the deep feeling of the old negro spiritual was achieved with best offering wi )l,‘ Bajadere—I Still Can Dream.” The popular quartet, which, like other repeatedly led, consisted of Messrs.
