Whether it was the veather or lack of faith in the New York judgment, the National Theater last evening was but half filled to sce the play and one of the finest characterizations that has ever been presented on the local _stage. And it was Chrystal Herne, a name that has seldom ap peared on the local play bills, who gave the latter. Indeed, Miss Herne's performance, the outstanding feature of the play, is as rare a masterpiee as Washington has ever seen. Mr. Kelly’s play, without plot to speak of, finds its sole merit in the one character, that of a_supremely selfish woman, devoid' of romance, even of heart, save for her own nar- row, mean self, who has married an adoring husband solely for the home he has provided her, and who, still unsatisfied, after having driven away friends, seeks further conquest by making a mere puppet of him. With rare personal charm and with exquisite art, backed by an unforget- able voice, Miss Herne portrays the role. To attempt to explain how she does it would be to attempt to match her art. It is a performance to be seen rather to be analyzed, a theatri- cal creation that will linger long in the memory of those who are fortu- nate enough to see it. Mr. Kelly has drawn the character with consummate <kill. Miss Herne impersonates it perfectly. The character itself is common erough in ordinary life, and, as may be supposed, it is not at all attractive. but vet, as Miss Herne presents it, it has a rare fa ation and, unless all signs fall, it is going to furnish the topic for much conversation—pro- of course, the ladies permit. utely free of the quently relied upon n playwright to create drama.

KEITH'S—The Lockfords. This is “International week” at Keith's, celebrating the 100th anni- versary of vaudeville, and the lobby and boxes were decorated with flags of all nations. The Lockfords, brother and sister, occupy the headline posi- tlon, with Frank Fay holding over another week as master of ceremonies, or, as he put it. “a sort of exalted Janitor.” The ockfords are the leaders of acrobatic or posture danc- ing and present a wonderful cycle of intricate evolutions. They were fea- s of the “Passing Show” for two and recently returned from seasons Paris to enter vaudeville. They bring with them the Peul Tisen Orchestra, a remarkable group, and they call the ensemble, “Dances and Music.”” The act is a strong one and was rewarded with many curtain calls. The holdover _gentleman, ‘ay, carried his difficult job with the cleverness of an artist, very little of offering of last week being dis- rned. Offering new material is a difficult problem for a monologist. but Fay does the trick and has his sup- porting trio of youngsters following in his steps with many laugh-provok- ing stunts. Toward the close of the program, Frank warms up to his work and has the audience applauding to the echo. After Fred Clark's orchestra has played the patriotic “March of All Nations,” for which the leader is re- Frank warded with hearty applause, Her- berta Beeson opens with a tight wire dancing act. . Charles Derickson, a voung dramatic_tenor, scores a hit with popular selections, with Burton Brown at the piano. A gymnastic act by the Sarattos followed. Bobby Adams returns, after a two years’ rest, and demonstrates conclusviely that she belongs in vaudeville. A sketch entitled, “Chinese Compen- ation,” played by Valerie Bergere and | company, is well received, the scenery | being elaborate and the costumes rich- accurate. Miss Bergere has a big following in vaudeville and is enter- prising enough to present a new play- let every season. The regular house attractions fill out the long program. “What Price Glory?” v, the thrilling vorld War, W i d the charm that surrounds the entire Make it a Write Christmasvse and approved by a large audience, in- cluding 75 soldiers from Walter Reed Hospital, who were the guests of Man- ager Ira' La Motte at the Gayety last night. The story that “What Price Glory™ tells is already too well known to Te- peat. The cast is excellent. Jack Carlyle and James K, Kelly are the undisputed stars, playing the now fa- mous roles of Sergt. Quirt and Capt. Flagg, respectively. Dolores Sardou is the only woman in the cast. As Char- meine she makes love to a whole regi. ment. Around her, of course, a greater portion of the plot is woven. The mountings for the production are realistic, especially the cellar near the battle front. ARLE—“The Spotlight Revue.” Good dancing and singing and some fine comedy help to make the current bill at the Earle well worth seeing. George Choos’ “Spotlight Revue” is the headliner. This mina- ture revue is all that can be expected with such a boiled-down affalr, and it makes a decided hit with the au- dience. Ray and Rose Lyte are dancers of exceptional skill and their | | bit in the act is all too short. Eddie Prinz brings something new in the way of soft-shoe dancing. There is a chorus of eight pretty girls. “Sailor Boy” is a musical love tale, with Jimmy Sargent taking the hon- ors. Blanche Boome, Bobbie Mac- Dowell, Roy Martin and Claude Koontz are well voiced and go through their parts The comedy of the bill former musical c latest “Kevu lodities.” a collection of little comedy skits that are well presented.

Main 9136 Parties Drives Office of gymnastic feats entitled, “A Gym- nastic Novelty.” The photoplay feature is “Risky Busipess,” starring Vera Reynolds, with Ethel Clayton, Zazu Pitts, Alan Hale and Ward Crane giving good support. The story hinges around the age-old plot of a rich girl in love with a poor country doctor. She is invited to the doctor's home for a week end and there sees all the cares and worries of living in the count She decides to break her engagement, but while witnessing an operation by the doctor on a little boy that her car hit wakes up to the responsi- bilities and love of life. The balance of the bill is composed of a news reel, an organ recital by Alexander Arons and music by Floyd Wheeler's Orchestra. STRAND—“Whirl of Variety.” “Whirl of Varfety” is the synco- pated, satirical musical comedy presentation at the Strand this week, produced by Victor Hyde. Irvin B. Hamp, comedian, is the “sap” in “The Hold Up,” which is only one of his many comedy _sketches. Justine Gray, Beatrice Jamieson, Earl Root and Lew Lewis aid Mr. Hamp in furnishing the Strand patrons with laughs. Miss Alice Tupman, local girl, sings two solos, “Say Nothing at All” and “Preclous,” with the Follles Bergere Girls in the choruses. Mr. Root sings of “His fdeal of a Girl” Victor Hyde's Follies Bergere Girls intro- duce more of their clever dances, drills and acrobatic numbers. “The Whirl of Varlety” ends with Rush and Butler singing “T'll Follow You,” with the company adding a comedy chorus. “Fools of Fashion” is the screen presentation, starring Marceline Day, Mae Busch, Theodore Von Eltz and 2 2-plex Gloves, $1.35 Smart styles and shades of mode, natural and chamois.

True, he's only on the screen and his drawl and chuckle are missed, but the picture portrayal is far superior to most films adapted from stage successes and cer- tain {lluminating incidents are shown which could only be hinted at on the stage. Jean Hersholt is the old soak him- self, true to type. So finely drawn is his characterization that he carries his audience from humor to pathos and back again as he responds to the wel- come call, “Al's here,” and at other times aids “Mother,” well played by Lucy Beaumont.
