Part 3--12 Pages HBWARNER amna - LuciLE WATSON Belasco OO OO Hig‘hCostofLaughing" By Philander Johnson. ASHINGTON is a big town now. The New York the- atrical offices do not give evidence of having heard the glad tidings, for the entertain- ment provided has been, by no means, 'metropolitan in its magni- tude. ¥k % The “Kid Boots” production was| the exception in the week’s array. It is truly metropolitan in the cur- rent sense of the term, a revelation of scenic opulence and physical grace. It came in from the west. The news- paper notices posted in the theater entrance left no doubt as to the im- pression it had made. Rumor (in- sidlious, but most influential advance | agent) had been even more emphatic | than print in extolling its fascina- tions. It was told in whispers of | admiring awe that in Detroit fiity| doilars was offered for a seat—ffty | dollars—more- probably than the | profit on a whole flivver, i. 0. b. In| Cincinnati, the company's second stop, so great a furor was created by the performance that many of the leading pinochle games were sus- pended in its honor. * K % ok One of the chief fascinations is Mary Eaton. As the lithe charms of Marilyn Miller flutter beyond the Ziegfeld horizon this new sprite of femininity arrives with gay consola- tion, a dancer of exquisite felicity, an actress to the extent of giving a piquant turn to such lines as the dialogue allots to her and a singer quite equal to the vocal demands made by the songs. * %% % The story is all about a golf match which decides a love affair, and while its episodes are comically in- terpreted it is inherently romantic. The chief literary responsibility rests upon Joseph McCarthy, who is, part of the time, in a rather philo- sophical mood. The romping calis- thenics of a beauteous bevy tend to jar the mood of reflection necessary to an appreciation of the reminders that love is a very serious matter indeed ‘and that sunshine follows the rain. The music numbers liber- ate themselves from the conven- tional form of verse and refrain that makes so many musical productions sound as if they had been con- structed solely with a view to the convenience of the publishers. The finale of the first act is worked out with skill as a dramatic climax. Eddie Cantor will make many new friends by his venture into the title role of “Kid Boots.” Many people who did not know precisely whether | they liked him or not will decide that he is human and not merely a bizarre manifestation of ultra mod- ernism. He took his role scriously —as a comedian ought to do—and, in spite of many grotesque extrava- gances, sought to keep in character. * % % ¥ There were moments slight nervousness This was excusable. dian has told the one about the club rule providing that a golf ball is not lost until it has stopped rolling, there is necessarily a feeling of sus- pense as he waits to find out whether the audience has forgiven him. Al Jolson betrayed a similar when a overtook him, state of mind after he had revived | that oft-honored celebrity, the man who had a wart on the back of his neck and used it for a collar button. These episodes are inevitable, for some of the best jokes are the old- est. But it is one thing to work the sands of time for particles of gold and quite another to flaunt familiar junk. It is such little intrusions as these that prevent a musical produc- tion, though a thing of beauty, from being an uninterrupted joy. * % x % But why make a light frivolity of the moment a topic of so much earnest consideration? Because this type of entertainment is the keynote of the theater and the re- flection of public temperament. Beauty and fun—fortunes are being employed in - their exploitation. Beauty there must be whatever the cost, but the soul of beauty is a smile. Unless the audience can feel the glow of mental animation the loveliness appeals in vain. So elab- orate has become the mechanism of musical production that it involves a pecuniary risk entirely out of pro- portion to the probable return. Musical comedy becomes as hazard- ous as grand opera itself. Yet the public is always so willing to pay for diversion that the game never loses its fascination for the impresario. If “Kid Boots” holds the pace it has been setting it will speedily remove any lack of confidence in the future which may have been felt by its pro- ducers after inspecting ledgers and pay rolls. The sums invested are strangely extravagant, but it is really the public that pa; “Sweet Stupidity at 17.” THE following scene is from the first act of Israel Zangwill's new comedy, “We Moderns.” The two characters in the scene are the Hon. Robert Sundale, dis- tinguished London attorney, played by O. O. Heggle, and his wife, played by Isabel Irving. Dick, twenty-one (played by Kenneth MacKenna), and dary, seventeen (played by Helen Hayes), are their children: Dick, the obdurate son of the Hon. Robert Sundale, K. C., of London, was ment down from Oxford for bolshevis and his seventeen-year-old sister, Mary, was taken out of school by her Joving parents expressly to avold a eimilar_scrape. Ryt Mary stays out at all hours down at the Blue Bohemians, jazzing, father allows Dick to live in a small hcuse in the grounds, which he has turned into a studio for him, rs.

GAYETY—"Happy Days National—"We Moderns." | During the past year, Mr. Israel!| Zangwill has at intervale been en-| gaged in writing a comedy, which | was the development of observations | and studles of his upon certain phases of the life of today as compared with | certain phases of life during the pre- vious generation. The title of the| new comedy is ‘We Moderns,” and | it will be presented at the National | Theater this week, opening tomor- row Mr. Zangwill has come from Lon- don to be present on this occasion. Mr. Zangwill has never written a play “to order” and says he never will. The principal female character in “We Moderns” is Mary Sundale, a biight spoiled girl of seventeen, daughter of an eminent lawyer of London, who is perhaps too indul- gent with his children. Mary is not at all vicious, but she has become Infatuated with what she calls “the new ideals.” And these ideals are quite at variance with the conserva- tive soclal and political standards of the Victorian era, believed in and practiced by Mary’s father and mother. Mr. Zangwill had never seen Helen Hayes act, but he derived such favor- ablq impressions of her talent and physical fitness to'play Mary Sundale that he waited for several months before deciding_as to who should play the part. During the past sum- mer Miss Hayes went to Europe, partially at Mr. Zangwlill's request for an interview. That was suffi- clent, and the author completed the play 'with Miss Hayes envisaged as Mary. Mr. George C. Tyler, the New York theatrical manager, the producer of “We_Moderns,” has produced all of Mr. Zangwlll's plays that have been seen in America, such as “The Melt- ing Pot!” “Children of the Ghetto” and “Merely Mary Ann." Heading the list of players in the new comedy are Helen Hayes and O. P. Heggle. Others are: Isabel Irving, Kenneth McKenna, Flora Sheffield, Clarence Derwent, Harris Gilmore, Katherine Stewart, Olin Fleld, Gal- way Herbert and St. Clair Bayfield. Belasco—"You and I.” H: B. Warner, supported by Lucile Watson and a “wonder cast,” will open a week's engagement at the Shubert-Belasco topight in Philip Barry's comedy of American life and manners, “You and L” Mr. Warner plays Maitland White, a man whose early marriage nipped his artistic career in the bud and forced him to become a successful business man instead, but one who continuously fills his pockets with stray sketches and seriously damages the wall paper beside the telephone with murals. His wife, Nancy, play- de by Miss Watson, is fully aware of his longings—all the more so as she was the cause of his sacrifice of youthful ambitions. Therefore, when a similar situation arises with their son Roderick and the pretty young apper, Veronica Duane, who lives “next door’ both parents do every. thing in their power to prevent. a repetition of their own near-traged. The son's decision to leave his dreams_of architecture and a course at the Beaux Arts for the girl of his dreams and the hurly-burly of a modern business life with, perhaps, a little art on the side, is matched by his fathers defermination, alded and abetted by his wife, to leave business for art, at least for a. year's trial. Both women are ready to make the necessary sacrifices, but Veronica's s more difficult,- for she feels called upon to give up the boy she loves that he may go on and work out his destiny alone. From this point the plot develops rapldly, the culminating tragedy for Maitland White being the - purchase of his first painting. which he has called '“The Portrait of a Overjoyed at an offer which is at first supposed to come from a well known connoisseur, he is cast into the depths of despair when it is learned that it is his own employer, KEITH'S—Gala Christmas bill, vaudeville.

The play, which comes almost direct from a successful run at the Comedy Theater, New York. will be presented with the original scenic production and the Metropol- itan cast. It is described as a satirical com- edy bordering on the farcical, due to the rapidity of the action and the continuous funny situations, lines and business. The story concerns a young American girl. played by Miss Taliaferro, who while visiting Eng- gland meets and falls in love with a_ voung author. Relatives and friends endeavor to avert avert the pro- | spective marriage, only to find that an American girl's wits and tactics are just the least bit too fast for her English cousins. With the as- sistance of an English friend, played by Norman Trevor, she defeats their every plan. It is the manner in which she does It that calls for one long laugh from the first curtain to the las A distinguished and well balanced cast is promised. This company is not what is generally termed a ‘road company,” its contract calling for an engagement for the remainder of the season at the Garrick Theater, Chi- cago. Washington is ome of only six cities to be visited. Poli's—"The Covered Wagon" (Final Week) “The Covered Wagon.” which has already won the greatest success of many seasons in New York, Boston and Los Angeles, is now on view at Poli’s, where it today begins the final week of its engagement and where, as in the other cities men- tioned, it.is drawing capacity houses at the daily matinee and night per- formances. Besides _the stirring _dramatic in- cldents of the Emerson Hough nar- rative, the thrilling beauty of the scenes and the exciting episodes of the prairie fire, the Indian attack and the perilous fording of the treacher- ous Platte river by the wagon train, the picture carries a message of high patriotism that reaches the heart of every beholder. No one can see “The Covered Wagon” without gaining a new un- derstanding of the courage and idealism of those brave souls who created the civilization of the west, nor can_any one escape a feeling of pride that these men and women were the forebears of the true Amer- ican of today. The chief characters in this stu- pendou on the Lois Ogle, Ethel Wales, Ernest’ Torrence, Tully Marshall, Guy Oliver and John Fox. The musical accompaniment to the picture, arranged by Hugo Reisen- feld, is_played by an orchestra of twenty-five pleces, under the direc- tion of H. H. Hamilton.

Keith's this week. From the front door to the stage door, and all through the house, the holiday epirit will prevail and Manager Robbins has taken par- ticular’ pains that every one may be as comfortable as possible. The rest- rooms have been redecorated and in every nook and corner can be seen the decorative Christmas touch. Even the dressing rooms have not been overlooked. yiyrics, song and dance! SSha. WASHINGTON, D. C, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 23, 1923. Players “The Gingham Girl Coming “The Gingham Girl,” the musical medy of youth, .which was a dis- tinct hit of Broadway last season and which is ending a five-month run in Chicago, is coming here to Poli’s Theater the week beginning Monday, Ja)!ll(lr)‘ 14 his show was sponsored by two young men still in their twenties, Laurence Schwab and Danfel Kusell, who have but recently left Harvard orthwestern University, re- ely, and who have brought a fresh viewpoint to the musical com- edy stage. The youthful element illustrated by the producers is mirrored in every feature of “The Gingham Girl” from the exuberant spirit of the book and melodfs to the fresh and unsophisti- cated personalities of the majority of the cast and the entire chorus. —_— tists always remembered in Wash- ington In musical comedy successes, are back In vaudeville, topping the bill. These two artists have sallled forth on many excursions into the tso-called legitimate, but they always | manage to get back into the two-a- day with their collatign of comedy, An added attraction, Meyer Davis' New Willard Hotel Orchestra, eaid to be the most exclusive musical or- ganization in the world, will appear under the direction of Samuel Kor- man. Its program is promised to be one of the most unusual treats offered Keith audiences this season Jose Ruben, a fine actor, i1l brin a new comedy drama, “The Greaser.” Mr. Ruben made his debut with Sarah Bernhardt and has played the lead in many Broadway successes. He |s sup- ported by Georgia Lee Hall, Spencer Tracey and Joe Marva. Mr. Ruben plays the part of a Mexican bandit and the scene is laid in the house of an American miner in southern Mex- ico. James Burke and Eleanor Dur- kin will appear in a song tete-a-tete. Good news for the kiddies (for the grown-ups have always liked him) in the announcement that Toto, the famous clown, will present a new act carrying some half dozen people. Toto was a headliner at the Hippo- drome for years. Billy Hallen styles his act “It's All Applesauce,” singing and talking to bring the laughs in_ wholesale lots and he is followed by Billy Lytell and Tom Fant, “The Chocolate Cake Faters.” Little' Elly, America's Lead ing Lady Juggler, will present un- usual balancing ' stunts and the Christmas bill will be completed with Aesop's Fables, Topi the Day and the Pathe News Week! Cosmos—Dcrkin.s Animal Play. Christmas will be merry through this week at the Cosmos Theater, if the fun of men and animals and the music of pretty girls, with dancing toes, can make it so, according to the announcement. The unique headliner will be an animal play, “Dogville on a Busy Day," presented by Derkin's dog and monkey pantomimists, featuring Rusty the Bum, the drunk dog and other furry funmakers who have been trained to do things humanly and laughably. Mr. Derkin, the trainer, will officiate ag the mayor of Dogville and direct the movements of what is alled one of the cleverest animal acts in vaudeville. Those who care for deeper drama will find it, probably, in William C. de Mille's travesty, “1999." which de- picts a story laid in the days seventy- | six years ahead of us and in the manner in which the folks are pre- sumed to act in those days. There Is a bit of romance in it, but more fun. Dorothea Sadlier and & good company will present it. Willie Smith, with two sides to his volce, high and low, will present a unique program of songs that range from the popular modern to the ancient classic. The Texas Four, a southwest quartet of singers and fun- sters, will make things merry their way, and the Five Digaetanos, kids ranging from five to elghteen, featur- ing little George, whose dad hopes he is & Jackie Coogan. will sing, dance, patter and imitate wonderfully. Howard Mack and Henrletta Lane will combine in their new and w usual skit, “Crazy But Good,” songs hardly warm In their newness, storles to make you laugh and Broadway fashions as well for those that adore them. “Our Hospitality,” the six-reel laughmaker of th& films, will present the sad-faced Buster Keaton and his before and after ancestors in one of the funniest screen stories of his career. Jimmy Aubrey will add more laughter with “The” Lobby God” and the Urban Movie Chats will please the eye with their beauty and the mind with their educational pictures. And the cartoon comics will be thrown in for good measure.s Last week's bill will be the order of the beginning at 3 p.m. today, Cecil-Lean and Cleo Mayfleld, ar- with its funny domestic quarrels, etc. « ‘Automobiles Mister Pitt,” which Brock Pem- berton will present at the Shubert- | Garrick Theater the week beginning December 31, ix the first play the pen of Zona Gale since Lulu Bett.” which won the Pulit prize in 1921 and is sald to be dis- tinguished by the same penetrating insight into American life and char- | acter that pes<ades all Miss Gale's work.
