- AMUSEMENTS F~ POLI'S—Jane Cowl. Sane Cowl's first performance in Maurice Maeterlinck’s “Pelleas and Mellisande,” presented by the Sel- wyns, in assoclation with Adolph Klauber, will be given at Poll's Theater next week, opening Tues- day evening. 'This city will have also a chance to see Miss Cowl's “Jullet,” which has been highly ac- elaimed. A little less than a year ago, Miss Cowl opened her New York engage- ment at Henry Miller's Theater in a production of “Romeo and Juliet,” designed by Rollo Peters and directed by Frank Reicher. With Mr. Peters as her Romeo she gave the American stage a Juliet so beautiful in point of personality and so poignant in tragedy as to make her famous. She will be seen here -at Polf's in this pro- duction and, it is announced, with the same cast. Tuesday night Miss Cowl will be seen in “Pelleas and _Mellisande,” continuing until Saturday, when a matinee and a night performance will be given of “Romeo and Juliet,” with the original New York cast wnd pro- duction. NATIONAL—Ziegfeld Follies The Ziegfeld Follies will come to the National Theater Sunday, one Week only. This will be the first time in two years, as the success of the new Follies was such in New York that the attraction remained there all last season and did not go on tour at all. _ The present edition of the Ziegfeld Follies is the seventeenth of the series and marks the climax of extravagant and pretentious offerings staged by Mr. Ziegfeld during the past seventeen It is said to be easily the fore of American revues and co: 237,000 to produce. It is in twenty four scenes, with a cast that includes the names of some of the most fa- mous entdrtainers in recent theatri- cal history, and with a chorus of eighty-four’ of the prettiest Ameri- can girls obtainable. The book and lyrics were written by at least a dozen authors and composers, among them being Gene Buck, Dave Stamper, Victor Herbert, Ring Lardner and Ru- ph Friml. The entire production staged under the direction of Ned Wayburn, Prominent " in the c Gilda Gray, Jimmy Husse tha Lorber, Miss E Evelyn Law, Mi Shirley Vernon, t are Miss , Miss Mar- Paiterson, Miss Jessie Reed, M BELASCO—“Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Unusual interest attaches to the presentation of the great Universal special photoplay production of “The Hunc k of Notre Dame" Shubert-Belasco Theater, with the matinee Sunday afternoon. For many months it has been widely |a heralded the last word in cinema | speare’s at the | attraction w beginning | “Radio Ship. art. - The Gotham critics shattered precedent in ita praise. Carle Laemmle, president of Univer- sal, realized the risk he took In mak- ing changes in the Hugo masterpiece, on the ground that as a drama must entertain all classes anything offen- sive to religious denominations must be deleted. The changes have been heartily indorsed by the critics. Lon Chaney, the great character actor, plays the difficult role of Quasimodo, the hunchback. He is supported by Patsy Ruth Miller, Er- nest Torrence, Norman Kerry, Nigel de Brulier, Tully Marshall, Hurst and Gladys.Brockwell. There are seventy-five principals and 3,500 extras in the cast. The entire Cathedral of Notre Dame was reconstructed at Universal ity, as well as eight squares of Pa- risian streets apd houses of the period of Louis XI, in making the production. KEITH'S—Harry Carroll Revue. Harry Carroll, the young composer and song writer, tops the bill at Keith's next week with a new revue, entitled, “Everything Is All Right” written by Ballard MacDonald, with the music by Carrol; Ida Mae Chadwick, the O'Neal Sisters. .Joe Donahue and a real Broadway chorus are featured. It has been some time since Mr. Carroll appeared at Keith's and his latest attempt at tabloid musical comedy should prove of in- terest. Lillian Leitzel, "queen of the air,” occupies the next in line on the bill. Her graceful performance in the air is something not easily forgotten. Miss Leitzel, during her time, has thrilled millions, not only in vaude- ville, but in the circus. Jim McWilliams, who styles him- self, “The Pianutist” a word of his own coinage, is also a genuine co- median who knows the value of com- bining clean comedy and real music. Bert Gordon and Florence Shubert, with a new comedy combination, are followed by Howard Kyle, the dra- matic artist, and a selected cast, in “The House at the Crossroads”; the Gomez Trio, with a Madrid setting, Spanish dancers, in “The Fete of Saragosse”; the Four Fayre Sisters of English music hall fame, who have come to Amerfca in search of “new worlds to conquer,” with their con- certinas, and Fred Bernard and Sid Garry, a nutty pair with a style all their ‘own and good impersonations. The Topics of the Day and the Pathe News Pictorial complete the bill. COSMOS—Double Headliners. Hugh Herbert, actor and author will bring his latest playlet to the Cosmos Theater mnext week. It is called 's _Childre and gives to Mr. Herbert a char- acter role of outstanding import- ance. It is a reversal of Shake- “King Lear” story, in that shows how one father outguessed | his children before putting himself at | their merey.

Those who have seen the play will recall the thrilling courtroom scene and the sensational eplsodes that fairly race through, the story. STRAND—A Triple Feature Bill. A triple feature vaudeville bill and a speclal first run photoplay is an- nounced by the Strand Theater for next week beginning Sunday. The former includes Tiny Turek’s “Danc- ing Shoes” featuring Marcia Comp- ton, Joe Millins, Eddie Harrison, Ray Donahue, Jack Kennedy and Arthur Hear; Robby Heath and Adele Sperl- ing, in a tuneful skit entitled “Per- sifiage,” and Harry and Willle Lander, in “Plils for Ills.” Others will Include Kane, Grey and Moore, in sensational thrills and sur- prises, and Lee Mason, in exclusive songs, assisted by Stan Scott at the piano.

Guise, Kate Lester, Sidney Bracy, Lillian Worth and’ Joseph Dowling. * GAYETY—*“Jig Time.” “Jig Time" week’s attraction at the Gayety. is described as a three-ring circus of fun, frolic and fair feminlnity of the big, spectacular revue type, in two acts with seventeen novelty scenes, ballets, songs, dances and huge chorus ensembles. And there will be an army of pretty girls, who are not only prize-winning beauties, but marvels of cleverness and pep. Claire Devine, a queen of sSong, heads tho cast, while others include Moran and Weiser, the Dancing Don- nellys, Artie Mayo, the Harrington Sisters and James J. Lake. Henry Dixon and James J. Lake are the au- | thors and producers of “Jig Time. James Madden and Ben Bernard com- posed and stages she musical num- bers. EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. A little boy with a repertoire of over 200 plano pleces, &1l of the great masters, will be heard in recital Fri- day at Poli's at 4:30 pm. He is Shura Cherkassky, the eleven-year- old Russian prodigy, who has amazed many critics with the maturity of his art. In his first three recitals in Balti- more the boy never repeated a num- ber, except his own ‘“Prelude “Pathetique,” a composition which, 8o the critics say, is destined to live ltke the boyhood compositions of Beethoven. He repeated that only because each time the audience asked for it Seats are on sale at Mrs. Green's concert bureau, 13th and G streets. RIALTO—“Little 01d New York.” “Little Old New York.” which will be shown at Moors's Rialto Theater Sunday, reveals the aristocracy of the metropolis of a century ago, for this picture is historical and its charac- ters are largely personages who be- came famous in the period of the play. They are shown in their homes and offices, in their pleasures and recreations, just as they lived more than a century ago, among them John Jacob Astor, who is shown in his fur and piano shop in the old town, an ultra- conservative trader, with a boundless faith in the value of city real estate, who made mistakes save that of scof- fing at Robert Fulton's invention of the steamboat, and on this attitude the plot of the play turns sharply. In the story Marion Davies, as Pa- tricla O’'Day, wins the merchant trad- er's respect by investing her funds through him, but when she lets her heart dominate her head and backs the Clermont he loses faith and pa- tience together. idling, lo le poet, Fitz Gree: leck; Cornelius Vanderbilt, founder of a noted family; Fulton himself, the youth who dreamed a dream with the little model of the Clermont, and Lorenzo Delmonico, fresh from his 1k route and eskérly plunging into he life of a restauranteur by way of a lunch wogan are shown. These are only a few of the many outstanding figtres. - PALACE—Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in “Stephen Steps Out.” One of the ‘outstanding ploture events of next week will be the presentation at Loew's Palace The- ater, beginning Sunday_afternoon, of a new photoplay star, Douglas Fair- banks, jr., the youth whose famous father, Douglas Fairpanks, is known to all’ screen fans, who will make his book in a breesy adaptation of a Richard Harding Davis story, “The Cross and_ the Crescent,” under the title of “Stephen Steps Out” . Young Fairbanks is making his ad- vent as a Famous Players-Lasky star and the cast is headed by that grand old man of the screen, Theodore Roberts. The management has planned to supplement “‘Stephen Steps Out” with a fine program of added offerings.
