Allan Kearns, who was fcen here in “Little Jessie James,” returns to Washington in a new role, affording him wide scope for his comedy ents. Featured with the show is a well known jazz orchestra, The Ambassadors, an or- ganization well known to phonograph audiences because of Its records. The new musical comedy wa duced by William B.

While assuming greatest mu- tual regard and admiration, they can- not refrain from “knocking” one an- other. Johnny Dooley telle Murray kE; and Bert Wheeler create laughter in portraying two | performers addicted to a freakish | tendency that has no real malice back of it. They meet casually and de- plore this ~unprofessional practice. | Each wants to talk about himself.| Bert insists upon singing a sentimen- tal ballad that he has composed. Johnny cannot conceal impatience He doesn’t want to hear it. Finally they work up to high pitch | of exasperation. They lay violent hands on each other.

The highest act that man can do is to overcome his desire to run away from the horrors of the battlefield, to mas- ter his fear of death and Jjoin his comrades in facing the bullets of the enemies of his country. “In my experiences In France I have never seen illustrated the spirit that is being depicted by writers and playwrights. I know there was an extreme condition of this sort exist- ing, but it was among a very small minority of the men overseas. The great majority of men were no more tainted than they would be in their home citles. The other extreme I have also noted “I know a divinity student who had every opportunity to become a chap- lain, Who volunteered and enlisted as a private, grim in the belief that he could exert a great influence over the men if he were one of them. Before every engagement he held religious services, sometimes in a barn and sometimes in a half-destroyed house, and every one of the men in his com- pany, regardless of creed, took part in these services, “This was another extreme, but it is just as fair a plcture as to harp continually upon the bestial side of another group.” EFREM ZIMBALIST Great Vielinist Polis Thastor, Wednandsy, April 1, 4:30 Mrs. Greens's’ Bureau, 13th and G, Main 6493.

Alexander Sanin, & household word among the theatergoers of Russia, Is introduced as the regisseur of Ba- lieff’s new bill. Precision, thorough- ness and intensification of the taste for striking contrasts are the qual- ities which Sanin brings to the new Chauve-Souris. Sanin was one of the founders of the Moscow Art Theater, belonging both to Stanislavsky's group, the Soclety of Arts and Letters, and to that of Nemirovitch-Dant- chenko, the Philharmonic Socicty— the two groups which, merged, brought the Moscow Art Theater to life. Sanin helped materially in staging the first play, “Tsar Fyodor Ivanovitch.” He not only played the role of Loup-Kleschnin, but was espe- clally intrusted with the direction of the mobs. After a few years he broke away and entered the field of opera and musical drama. In that field, as well as in motion pictures, he became known as one of the most versatile of Russla's theater artists. Three years ago he left Russia for Madrid” where he directed the Royal Opera. From there he went to Parls to stage Mussorgsky's “Hovansh- china.” " Later he produced ‘“Boris Godunoft” in Rome. He had returned to Paris last Summer when Balieft engaged him. Boris Romanoff, another total stranger whom Balieff brings, is the maitre de choreography of the new Chauve-Sourls. Romanoff is of the “younger generation.” He was grad- e uated at the Imperial Ballet School Russia’s exiled nobility in the role{in 1909.

Still other and very different sides of his genius are shown in Balieff's new program, for not only Benois, the -father, but Nikolai, his | son, were engaged to collaborate nn\ scenic settings last Summer in Paris. | The life story of Benols s an illum- | inating proof of why these Russian | artists are such masters of thelr| crafts. Born in Petrograd in 1870, on his father's side he comes of | family of artists who migrated from | France in the eighteenth centur His father, Nikolai, was court archi- tect and professor of architecture in the University of Fine Arts in Petro- | grad. In his mother’s line (Kavos), Italian in origin, he counts many | artists and composers. His brothers, | Albert and Leont}, are brother artists. | Benols' talent emerged at the age of 10. Stimulus to that talent was through Slavini at the age of 11 and the Meiningen Company four years later. In 1894 he married an :.nm,‘ Mile. Kind. They toured western Eu- | rope and settled down to live in Paris. | Later Benois returnmed to Petrograd | where he founded the group known as | Miriskusstva, together with Leon Bakst, Vasnetsoff, Seroff, the two Korovins, Sergei Diaghlleff and others. | He also served as an editor of the| magazine published by Diaghileft Benols' connection with ' the Diag- hileft Ballet, dating from 1508-1909, | is too well known to be repeated. In recent years he executed a com- mission for scenic setting for “The Mistress of the Inn” for the Moscow Art Theater and collaborated with/ Sanin on two plays of Moliere. His| son, Nicholas, is said to have inher- | ited his father's talent, and con- tributes an original note of his own, especially in the luminous landsca background for “Love in the Rank BelAscO Memt. and J.

It is the play for which the novelist W. Somerset Maugham fur- nished the inspiration with his story of Sadle Thompson “Rain,” unintentionally, of course, has been running for some time as a | sensation somewhat under false pre- | tenses. Many have thought it another contribution to the salacious drama of the day, and yet, in the view of a prominent minister of Washington, who naturally desires that his name be withheld, It ix really not so. The great lesson of “Rain,” in the | | judgment of this reverend gentleman |and” critic, is its rebuke to the fanatic. There are many, even in our pes time, says this critic, who are one not only to judge the motives 2ndmgrals of others; whisk 19 striot 1y in conflict with scriptural teach- ing, but also to insist upon provid- ing their own remedy for the evil which is in the world, and to lose sight entirely of the Christian method of tempering justice with mercy: This play, he thigks, meets this issue squarely and settles it convincingly well as artistically rhaps he is right MUTUAL THEATER PA.
