O NY AMUSE BELASCO—"“Candida.” Bernard Shaw's “Candida,” & masterplece by that clear-thinking satirist, charmed, amused and stimu- lated the large audience which greet- #d its opening performance for- the week at the Shubert-Belasco Theater last night. Like all of Shaw's come- dies, “Candida” tempts its auditors to an exercise of the mind as well as the muscle controlling laughter. “Candida” comes to Washington at the tail end of a theatrical season. It would be welcome if it came at the beginning or the middle of & season, or even out of season. ‘The revival of the Shaw comedy has been undertaken by the Actors’ Theater of New York, where it met with a tre- mendous success. Its production has been a triumph of this organization, which is engaged in perpetuating high standards of the American stage. The quarter century the last professional production of “Candida” in this country 1is ap- proaching. But the witticisms of Shaw do not dull with age. It was written before psycho-analysis be- came a popular parlor pastime; when Shaw was shocking in his frank statements of subjects that were taboo in mixed company. He still successfully shocks the mind to ac- tion, although his calm way of calling a spade a spade {s no longer a novelty on the stage. “Candida” treats the triangle—two men and a woman—in an unusual way. On the one hand is the husband, a clergyman, successtul, advanced, a tower of strength, bolstered up by the care and affection of his wife and his assistants. On the other is the poet— a mere boy—who suffers from an in- ferfority complex in the ordinary things of life, but strong in his dlsre- gard of responsibility. To the one Candida symbolizes peace, security, comfort; to the other, love. Candida, as Shaw has drawn her, sees through and understands both. She is entirely and at all times mistress of the situa- tion. = Peggy Wood admiirably fills the role of the woman drawn by Shaw. She is really a dominating personality in the final scene, where she is called upon to make her choice between her husband and her lover. The cloth fits perfectly Pedro de Cordoba, who plays the Rev. Morrell, Candida’s husband, and Richard Bird as Marchbanks, the poet, plays with perhaps an overintensity and elfin fury that serves to emphasize the mark since % & % % R GHEG < < OFOXY; / Associated Members And Recommended Burners 1719 Conn.

O, TUESDAY, MENTS more solid characteristics of the for- mer. Elizabeth Patterson, cast as the sharp-tongued spinster stenographer who cherishes a secret affection for the Rev. Morrell, her employer, and Ernest Cossart as Burgess, father of Candida, with an eye to shilling and pounds and an idea that every one he does not understand is insane, ald materially in the success of the com- edy. Gerald Hamer plays admirably the Rev. Alexander Mill, the curate. Shaw's thrusts at reformers and the weaknesses of human nature are man- ifold. One of the most amusing scenes of the play occurs when, in the moment of explanation involving Can- dida and the two men, the other char- acters burst in from a wine supper, and Prossy, the stenographer, ad. mits that, while she 18 a beer teeto- taler, she is not a champagne teeto- taler. A very human story 18 told in “Can- dida,” which involves rather ordinary human beings, with the exception per- haps of the poet. contrasts and the high lights have been drawn by a master hand, and the actors have done their full share in making the picture a living thing. NATIONAL—‘Just Married.” The National Theater Players start- ed a successful second week last night with the farce comedy, “Just Mar- ried,” the work of Adelalde Matthews and "Ann Nichols. The good ship Lafayette, the back- ground against which “Just Married” has been successfully played for sev- eral seasons, has fallen into the hands of a crew that even on the first night proved its ability to man it through four acts of hilarity. Miss Matthews and Miss Nichols have equipped the ship with a funny mechanism. Minor Watson and Le- nita Lane and their capable aides proved their complete knowledge to the last turnbuckle of this mechanism and kept the audience in an uproar while demonstrating the utter ab- surdity of nautical honeymoons and things like that. “Just Married” is built around a group of people that are extremists. Some talk too much. One drinks too much. Two rant too much. Excesses of the kind have an Inevitable way of provoking laughter. The National Players draw out the excesses to the last “‘ex,” but stop on the safe side of rationality. Minor Watson, the “nervous wreck” of last week, is the inebriate son of a refined Boston family this week. He is just as much at home in his cups as in hypochrondia. No opportunity for comedy escapes his broad talent Mr. Watson, as Robert Adams, in. ebriate cosmopolite, decides to take his brother’s honeymoon when illness keeps the latter and his bride in Paris. He awakens on the ship the first morning out to find he is not taking the honeymoon alone. In his stateroom he discovers a beautiful girl. The discovery is mutually un- satistactory—the more emphatically to the girl because all her relatives, in- cluding her jealous flance, are aboard. The y ung man's refinement, particu. larly with well-reared girls of evident social position, makes the situation obnoxious to him. They determine to keep the whole matter a secret, and their efforts in the face of the exces- sive talkativeness of the one-day bride of the young man's friend, Jack Stan- ley, provide the machinery for the evening’s entertainment. Lenita Lane, as the refined, young, beautiful, naive girl with a difficult problem to explain, handies her role with an easy mastery. Dorothy Tier- ney, the jealous, stupld, talkative bride in the next stateroom; Edward Arnold, as the uncle of the girl; Lillian Dean, as her aunt; Willlam Phelps, as Jack Stanley; Romaine Callender, as the jealous flance, and Katherine Givney, as a French girl who hovers in the background alding in wrecking every marriage on the ship, all do ex- cellent work. “Just Married,” takes up where “The Nervous Wreck” left off and points to a very happy Summer for Capital play lovers with the National Theater Players. MUTUAL—"“Hurry Up.” George Brennan and Harry Pepper, long assoclates in burlesque, appear this week in the main roles of “Hurry Up” at the Mutual, and they are their own merry selves, which alone is a boost. The latter is a first-class come. dlan of the Yiddish type, and his work- ing partner appears in straight roles, meeting every requirement of the “feeder.” Pepper last night repeat- edly convulsed his stagemates, which testifies well to his ability. Ambark Ali, a nondescript tramp, appearing in grotesque costumes, also is a mirth-producing character of fre- quent appearances. Bernle Clark dances very well and sings acceptably, and the feminine roles are well taken care of by Vi Penny, Jackle Addison and Syd Burke. Colored Man Found Dead. ‘William M. Day, colored, roomer at 1533 Columbla #treet, was found dead in his room last night. A certificate of death from natural causes was given. COLLEGE GRADS PLAN FOR SILVER JUBILEE Alumnae of Trinity Gathering for Celebration to Feature Com- mengement Festivities.

The baccalaureate mass will be cele- brated May 31 in the new chapel, an architectural gem, the beuaty of which won for its architects the 1925 gold medal awarded by the Institute of American Architects. May 31, also the Alumnae will give a tea in honor of the seniors, which the members of the faculty and of the advisory board of the college will attend. An interesting feature will be the claiming of trees on the west campus by the various classes. This will take place at the Alumnae picnic, at which the various classes will be dis- tingulshed by attractive costumes. This picnic will be followed by an old English pageant presented by the undergraduates, and embodying the spirit of the development of educa- tion. There will be a serenade at which the traditional college songs will be sung, as a farewell by the seniors, and a renewed greeting by the re- turning Alumnae. - UASRCR R AR SRR O SRR SRR A S R %fi%@ The Greatest Modern Convenience of the Truly Modern Home G. and H.
