It Washington audiences were ever guilty of stamping or bravoing, the audience at Wardman Park Theater probably would have used these methods to show appreciation of the portrayal of “A Story of Plerrot,” by a small section of the Ram's Head Players last evening. Since these methods ars taboo in this stately town, only the continuous pattering of hands calling the players out be- fore the curtain again and again evi- denced their pleasure. Against the background of Costa's music, expressive if not great, simple plot moved forward. The dream of first love and the despair of disilluslon came across the foot- lights and was interpreted as each spectator wished, for without words the mind travels far and away. The youth and grace of Miss Josephine Hutchinson, in the part of | Jf Louisette, beloved of Pierrot and de- serted by him, are fused with an emotional quality which reaches a peak in the scene when Plerrot de- clares for her his continued love, and | she, In turn, endeavors to impress on him her hope that it will continue and wlill grow, for soon it is to be shared by a little child. Pierrot, Rob- ert Bell, is not just a strolling min- strel of old France, but an impres- sive personification of one who loves with weakness.

His rotundity, his jollity, his humanity, have stepped upon the stage of Washington's only little theater from the covers of Bal- zac. Mr. Elwell has set a little mile- stone in the path which Pochinets must travel. The cast Is costumed In the bouffant skirts, the exotic bonnets and stylishly plaided trousers which Mr. Reynolds does so well. If, again, the hard colors of the first setting fill the spectator with the desire to strip them down, the rakish little hauses and the tree gone wrong give future Pochinet the background he needs for a convivial mood. Throughout the production the art of Miss Ellen Van Valkenberg, who has directed the pantomine and who is herself an artist of ability, Is evi- dent.
