Just as the late John Habberton was a master mind in the portrayal of the emotions and unaccountable whims of childhood, and Booth Tarkington iIs un- equaled in his ability to present the con- flicts and tortures of vouth, so Frank j Craven is a genuis in the art of putting into a play the plain, everyday worries, troubles, joys and unreasonableness of rried couple, 0 have be- gun to wear on each other's nerves as the end of the first year draws near and the realization that the married state is a lifetime arrangement and mot a quit-when-you-get-tired game, begins to dawn. Many a.home has been nearly wrecked over the manrer in which the man at the head of the tahlp eats his brea fast egg, or the way his wife asks at h meal if he will take sugar and | cream in his coffee. Simple matters, in truth, but oh, how wearing on nerves and temper. A comedy? Yes, when enacted in_another household than one's own—and in the latter case it is Tragedy, { with a capital T. “If we could see our- selves as others see us” has been dinned into the ears of ev at one time or another, but if every and woman could see tl Mr, Craven makes a reality, more par | ties of the first part ve. parties of the econd part might learn how to turn agedy into comedy. Mr, and M Fred Livingston nearly hit the rocks in their first year as man and wife, becau: who was slightly deaf, the thin; said to him, but invariably heard th not intended for his ears. At middle age, when the play opens, with a daughter thinking seriously of matrimony, the Livingstons are fine examples 6f what years of patience, long suffering and tolerance can do |toward getting two kindly souls past the danger point. But ntact with mother and father apparently not taught Grace the n of loving and forgiving in the of trying circumstances, and when she marries Tommy Tucker and goes to Joplin, Mo, to liv it takes but eleven months' to prove to ! Grace that she cannot stand a life- time with Tommy, and so she goes home. Every situation is entirely human, every argument true to life and every dispute one in which each person who sees the play has at some time had a part in. It has been many since Washington has ed so dglicious a comedy as “The Year.” But it is considerably more than a comedy. It might well be called a masterpicce of drama, for though the audience is kent in hilarious laughter during the entire performance, the tragedy of family misunderstandings note. W commun excellen’ mark upon its people. 'he play is presented by John Golden and 13 staged under the di- rection of Winchell Smith. The char- acters include Frank Craven as Thomas Tucker. Alice ens as Grace Livingston, James Bradbury as Mr. Livingston, Jane Ellison as his wife. Tim Murphy as Dr. Ander- son, bachelor brother of Mrs. Liv- ingston; Leila Bennet as Hattie, who serves as mald for Grace in a pinch when guests are coming to dinner; Lyster Chambers as Dick Loring, a er-do-well; Harry Lelghton as Mr. tow and Merceita Esmonde as his wife, and they give an ideal per- formance.

It was a delightfully varied pro- gram, in which the Nordica Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra, Nordica Ha- wallan Guitar and Ukulele Club and Nordica Banjo Club, were assisted by visiting artists from other cities, here in connection with the meeting of the American Guild of Banjoists, Mandolinists and Guitarists, of which Mr. Holt is president. Serious musical achievement was revealed, the orchestra presenting three groups, Rossinl’s “Semiramide,” two compositions by Herbert Forrest Odell, “Shifting Shadows” and ‘Mobn- light' Frolic,” with Mr. Odell as guest conductor, and Schubert's “Unfinished Symphony.” It seemed Impossible, hence it was more surprisingly grati- fying, to hear from fretted instru- ments, which must be plucked, such iiving,” almost breathing expression, varying from delicate planissimo to gorgeous cadenza. There was feel- ing, color and depth in their music honors with him. Norworth seems to grow younger; his hair has turned to a jet black and his unique voice, copied by almost all comedy singers, is as strong and pleasing as ever. When Jack was last here his hair ap- peared to be an iron gray, but last night Rudolf Valentino had nothing on WIm when it came to “slicking up” Jack sang several songs that went over to hearty applause, and for good measure harked back to “Shine On, Silvery Moon.” Numerous demands for encores followed his effort. Ruby Norton, a girl with a voice worth” while and who dances grace- fully, just returned from two seasons in “dear old London” sang popular songs of the higher class and gave a clever characterization of an East Side kid. Another one about south- ern Tennessee completed her offer- ings, and all were received with gen- erous applause. Meyer Davis’ Le Paradis Band was accorded a royal welcome. It gave everything from jazz to classics and had ‘a_hard time getting away, giv- | ing additional airs in response to insistent applause. A darkened stage finally called a halt. Lucille Ballan- tine, ‘the dancing girl, and “her two boy friends” presented an act of un- usual dancing and a pair of dancing tools that made the men_ smile and the women gasp. Ann Pennington herself could have received pointers from Miss Ballantine in the way of costume. ~Other good numbers in- clude Vincent O'Donnell in songs; Heras and Wills in comle acrobatic stunts; “The Show-Off,” a true-to- nature sketch; the Merton Mystery, a sketch carrying Hope Eden with second-sight stunts, and the usual house attractions. in place The Nordica Hawalian Gultar and Ukulele Ciub presented a medley, in- cluding Hawaiian numbers, which was enthusiastically received, while the Nordica Banjo Club was highly popular in “Collegisms,” arranged by Odell, and presented with character- istic flavor. Soloists of the evening were ac- corded generous appreclation by the audience, Which crowded the baliroom to the doors. Miss Marguerite Lichtl, guitarist; Claud C. Rowden, banjoist; Lloyd Loar, at the mandola, and John- son C. Bane, guitarist, each revealed not only command of the technique of their instruments, but the ability to express original interpretative feel- ing with delicacy. Miss Ruth Peter, soprann, sang in full, sweet volce, Handel's “Angels Ever Bright and Fair.” Edwin Hart was the accom- plished accompanist of the evening.

The headliner, Harry Rogers' “La Petite Revue,” is a spectacular terpsichorean production handsome- 1y staged and costumed, but, unlike the average feature of its kind, pre- senting rarely beautiful and graceful dancing features of the artistic type, with a company of attractive young woman dancers. It has several scenes and some very attractive specialties. The remainder of the bill makes for laughter and pure entertalnment of varled character. Taflin and Newell open with a Chinese novelty sketch. One of the team is an un- usually novel and graceful dancer and both are clever experts on the horizontal bars. They also con- EDMONSTON’S — Home of the “Original” FOOT FORM Boots and Oxfords for Men, Women and Children. “Quality Is tribute o bit of enjoyable Instru- mental music. Duncan and Joyce are both surprises in a way, for one has a delightful tenor voice, which he knows how to use to splendld ad- vantage in ballads, and the other, a violinist worth while, dances and, with his partner at the piano, con- tributes pleasing instrumental music. Jean Barrios, however, is the real surprise of the bill, which makes it unwise to say more of his act than that it is beautifully costumed and presents an attractive personality. Beok and Haynes wind up with ‘a breezy bit of low comedy, with the woman comedienne furnishing the laugh material. The photoplay feature, Gladvs Wal- ton’s newest, “The Love Letter,” is pure melodrama that develops 'into very beautiful romance, which 1s in- terrupted at its height with a thrill— and yet has its happy ending.
