Belasco—"Cobra.” “Cobra,” described as a sensation in New York, opened at the Shubert- Belasco last night for a week's run. As a sensation it reaches Washing- ton a little late, following a recur- ring flow of sex plays. It differs, however, from many of the others in .||| the presentation of the theme. It is the story of a looss woman, a loose man and a great friendship between two men. For eight months “Cobra” filled the theater in New York. It gave to Miss Judith Anderson, now playing the title part in David Belasco's “The Dove,” an opportunity to advance far along the pathway to succes: “Cobra” lacks subtlety. It too ob- viously hits you in the eye—or it did last night. It too strenuously poimts a moral to adorn a tale. It has dra- matio moments and dramatic situa- tions. But in the end the author has left the impression of much study of depravity for an insufficiently Im- portant dramatic purpo: The production of “Cobra” is by Lawrence Webber, who has cast Ralph Morgan as Tony Derning, the husband of the Cobra and the friend of Jack Race, whose fascina- tion the Cobra attempts. Race Is excellently played by Walter Gilbert. Miss Minna Gombell, who has charm of person, plays the Cobra. But seemingly she emphasizes toq much the characteristics which she seeks to portray. There is'a lack of subtlety in the presentation that makes the part less convincing than it other- wise might be. The part of Judith, he good, with whom Race finally weds presumably, is taken by Miss Moores. The cast is confined four, with two additions only—Miss Jeanne De Me, as Sophie Binner, who “shakes down"” Race for $1,000 during his college days, a thou- sand which is paid by his wealthy friend Tony, and Walter Horton, as | Rosner, from whom Race saves Tony in later years The action of “Cobra” starts in New Haven. Race, an athlete, stroke of the crew, etc., is rooming with Tony Dorning. Into their college rooms comes first Soghle, with a sordid sto then Elsie, the Cobra, who sily transfers her regard from Race to Tony, when she learns whete the money lles. Four years elapse. Race has be- /| come Toi partner in business. He has made good as a business man, al- though he has continued his affairs | with women. Tony worships his | wife. She, on the other hand, has de- signs upon Race. But the friend- ship of Race for Tony is stronger than his physical desires. Also, | Judith has entered the arena, and | tace wishes to marry her. In a mo- {ment of discouragement, however, | Race accompanies Elsie to a hotel— | but leaves her there discomfited. The |author of the play, Martin Brown, phere -gives the story a clever twist | which leads to an unexpected denoue- ment : Poli's—upassion Play." The man, woman or child who can | sit through the “Passion Play” as resented in the film made by the burg Players of Baden at Poli's week' and fail to realize that | something deeply religious ‘md intensely human about this story | of the persecution of Christ must | indeed be warped in perceptive fun- dament Probably never will there be a more poignant story known to man. Such story needs spirit in its portrayal. The players must live the story if | there to be that approach to the | pinnacle necessary for successful | communication of the ideas which it contains. And with the Passion Players of Freiburg one finds this spiritval quality dominating. Tt should, for since 1264 their fathers and forefathers have been presenting this same holy drama_every decade. From infancy the children a train- | ed for roles which they will not as- | sume until they are bearded men | Long years of studious training can- |not but stamp indelibly those who | portray the characters from the Bible | in this production So, it is not surprising for the | deeply religious who attend a pro- | duction sueh as this to walk from fa theater feeling that they have been at church for a sermon stronger than they have heard before. ne presentation is enhanced by the evening choir of the Church of | the Covenant, directed by Claude Robeson—the same who sang with | the New York Symphony Orchestra | of Walter Damrosch recently.

Jay C. Flippen, in black face, and Jack Lavier dole out subtle humor and wisecracks while seated on a rocking chair suspended above the stage on a trapeze.

Actress,” took the lion's share of the Earle—Ahearn's Jazz Band. An excellent program, almost ex- clusively of dancing numbers, is of- fered at the Earle this Inauguration week. The bill is headed by Charles Ahearn and his “The Millionaire Jazz Band,” a troupe recruitea by hobo mavericks who make their entrance via the *side-door Pullman” route. Their instruments, almost wholly {m- provised, give forth the most blatan and weird sounds known to the worl of music. The act is a pure and simple travesty on jazz, but real mu- sical ability crops out during the few serlous moments of the band. Miss Bessio Brownley appears with the troupe as dancing soloist, glving pleasing illustrations of the Ballet Egyptian and the Hawaiian Frolic. Rivaling the feature act is Arthur Babcock and Mile. Dolly, “In Green- wich Village.” Dolly is fresh from Paris and _ displays the _various lengths of dress as worn on “ze bou- levard.” The physical effects of these displays on the acrobatic Babcock is the greatest mirth-producer the bill boasts.

Claude Robeson directs. President—"Rain."” “Ralin,” the sensational dramatiza- tion of W. Somerset Maugham's story, “Miss Sadle Thompson,” which was recently presented here at the Na- tional, opened a week's engagement at the President Theater last night, with a new New York cast and pro- duction. The story is familiar to most thea- tergoers. Briefly, it concerns a zeal- ot who seeks to reform a fallen woman and then becomes himself a vic- tim of vice. The action takes place in the pert of Pago Pago on an island in the South Seas, where a party of Americans are stranded. The party obtains lodging at the hotel and gen- eral store of Joe Horn, an Ameri- can, who has drifted into the island and married a native wife. Here the missionary encounters Sadie Thomp- son, who has put up at the hostelry, the only shelter on the island. She had fled from San Francisco to escape an unjustly imposed punishment. The zealot sees in her a soul which must be saved. He offers his spiritual counsel and ald. First she scorns and censures him for Interference in a lifé in which she can see no wrong. Then, under threat of belgg sent back to San Francisco, a chandl comes over her; she listens to his prayers and decides that she will return to atone for her sins. On the eve of her de- parture the missionary succumbs to the appeal of sensuality. The action takes place during the rainy season and an incessant downpour serves to make an uncanny atmosphere. A capable cast, headed by Miss Katharine Hayden, has been assem- bled. Miss Hayden cannot fail to compel admiration by her portrayal of the role of Sadie Thompson. Her delineation of this role, though it might be offensive to the too sensi- tive, nevertheless wins the charita- ble sympathy of the audience. Fred- erick Smith interprets in a convinc- ing manner the character of the zeal- ot. His role is not an easy one, as the audience is against him from the be- ginning. He adopts tyrannical and overexacting standards for salvation. Joseph Robison is in every way well fitted for the role of the hotelkeeper. Edward Kene, as Sergt. O'Hara, is a kindly, sympathetic character. He is earnest and unobtrusive in devo- tion to Sadie Thompson. Josephine Morse, as the wife of the ascetic re- former, exemplifies steadfast devotion to her husband, whom she supports categorically in his mission of saving souls. At times she appears almost in- human, but not without fortitude and dignified poise.

Seventh Street Between D and E and Kay La Velle offer a rather non-| applause in this week's bill at the Strand Theater last night. Their program consisted of clever steps and jokes. The piano movers, while “do- ing their stuff” and trying to straighten up a dilapidated plano, stool simultaneously playing the plano, won many outbursts of laugh- ter from the packed house. The act is one of the funniest ever seen at this theater: Al Abbot, monologist ard imitator, gave “At a Home Town Show,” with a ghost story “down in Alabama,” “The Champfon Harmonicist,” ‘“The 0ld Man frem Down Home" and “Wil lle on his Dis-cordian,” and scored a hit. Encores failed to satisty the crowd. Don Romance and Willlam Castle, ‘billed as blackface come- dians, although one happens to be brown, in “Hot from Dixle” bring new songs and jokes. “Brownle,” the light one, accompanied the singing on the ivories. This act also brought more laughter from a still roaring audience. Madeline Berlo and her five famous diving girls, daughters of the sea, in “A Marvelous Aquatic Spectacle,” were well received. They appeared at the Strand last year. Singing their way onto the stage, they give a great varlety of dives in a tank. Their performance has many thrills, Max York's pupils in clever canine capers open the bill, a man and dog act with tumbling and aerial acro- batics by Prof. Max and his six * oodle kompanions.” The photoplay, “Listen Lester” is a rich comedy, featuring Harry My- ers and Louise Fazenda, supported by Alec B.
