Sometimes the idea that gives the narrative a genuine basis of human nature is a little difficult to find, but in cases where a plot of any sort plays a reliable part in carrying an entertainment to suc- cess, such an idea can almost in- variably be detected. It is usually classified in the vocabulary of show wisdom as “heart interes * k¥ % There is a thread of heart interest in “Sweet Lady” which, in the hands | of a Lonsdale or even of an Otto Harbach (since Mr. Lonsdale has not turned his gifts to rhyming as well as to plots), could have been made to provide a fair share of logical and substantial support for this demon- stration. Its chief object seems to be to afford a peep show, whereby the uninitiated may catch a glimpse of a world which enjoys itself, or assumes to be enjoying itself, with holds a place in affection for his studies in gracefully embellished | sentiment. The names on the Tyler list of players reads like a footlight roll of honor. Walton Lackaye, | Henrietta Crosman (spelling that | name with two “s's” used to be what | made Henrictta cross), John E.| Keller, and more than a dozen others are well calculated to set the scrap | books fluttering in release of flagrant memories. There are players, too, of equal honors more newly won. The question arises as to whether play material has grown so scarce as to leave so many notable people at liberty for such an engagement which necessarily implies subordina- tion in many instances despite in- dividual brilliancy. An all-star cast cannot by any possibility provide all star parts. " Pinero’s “Trelawney of the Wells” with players of so much distinction will justify the old phrase, “An event of the season,”| in its literal sense should the com- pany come this way. Even if some of the players find it impossible to give the miuor roles the same thrills with which they vitalized stellar characterizations, their mere en- trances and exits will form an in- teresting procession.

It offers romance in the form of a matinee idol, never seen during the performance, but al- talked of and about whom the centers. He is Jack Donovan, murdered before tho curtain rises. He is the man who possesses “a ring for which women love and men mur- der.” Every woman in “The Donovan Affalr” is at some time or other under his mystic ring. In developing of the investigation there comes a situation of cross currents which reaches far linto the lives of every one of the 17 characters in the play who, when the curtain first rises, are all on stage and never once during the perform- ance are they permitted, by the po- lice, to leave the stage, excepting, of course, during the intermissions. Each, when questioned about Jack Donovan, bécomes hopelessly involved, in what they thought would remain their life secret, and before the play progresses very far the finger of suspicion points to almost every mem- ber of the cast. “The Donovan Affair” was staged by Albert Lewis, and the cast includes Phoebe Foster, Paul Harvey, Eleanor Woodruff, Dodson Mitchell, Miriam Doyle, Niles Welch, Ray Collins, Joseph Robison, Charles C. Wilson, Renita Randolph, Robert Hudson, George Drury Hart, Georgie Lee Hall, Edwin Maxwell, Merle Stanton, Frank Taylor and Jefferson Hall. KEITH'S—Nan__ Halperin, Charles ‘Withers. At B. F. Keith's this week, starting this afternoon, two headliners will be presented, charming and versatile Nan Halperin in_a new offering called “Satires of Famous Ladies” and the rube comic, Charles Withers, who will offer “Withers' Op'ry,” a travesty on the old-time variety show. George Choos is furnishing a fea- ture act, “Ballet Caprice,” with Brod- erick and Felsen and W. Wania, sup- ported by Billy Stone, Protzenko, Truly Jones, Klsle Wheelton and Fiorenz Simonson. Carl McCullough, musical comedy star, will offer “Bright Bits of Traves- ty,” and others are the Ziegfeld Fol- lies’ “Shadowgraph,” said to be a sensational stage effect; Boyle and Della in “How's That”; the Meyakos, “From Cherryland to_Broadway,” in music and dance, and Eileen and Mar- Jorie in “Tumbles.” The usual screen features will com- plete the bill. EARLE—Harry Conley and Company, Altrock and S’;mm. “Laugh Week” will be observed at the Earle Theater this week, begin- ning this afternoon. The headline at- tractions will be Harry J. Conley and company in Willard Mack’s two-scene sketch, “Slick as Ever,” and Wash- ington’s clowns of the base ball fleld, Al Schacht and Nick Altrock, in a travesty of the prize ring, entitled “The Kid's Last Fight.” Altrock and Schacht are funmakers whose abilities are perfectly familiar to Washingto- nians, and in their present skit they are declared exceptionally funny. Other vaudeville offerings will in- clude the “Five Mounters,” who are sald to ‘elevate equilibrium to the status of an art”; Moore and Freed in “Crooning and Ballooning,” a combi- nation of song, dance and patter, and Harry Steppe and Richard Knowles in “A Debate,” a high-powered comedy number. The added house features will in- clude short screen features, an orches: tral overture and pipe organ accom- paniments of the pictured subjects. The chief photoplay will be “Jim the Conquerer,” featuring Willlam Boyd and Eleanor Fair. Attractions In Washing’ton Playhouses This Week MUSIC AND DRAMA.

NEWMAN—“Venice and the Ttalian Lakes.” “Venice and the Italian Lakes" ix the closing lecture of the series on Sunny Ital ranged by BE. M. New- man, and to be given In Traveltalk form this afternoon and evening at An up-to-date group of live motion pictures and gorgeous color views will reveal the charm of Italy, for “Venice and the Lakes" forms an un- rivaled combination of novelty, beau- ty and scenic grandeur. “The City of the Adriatic,” the unique metrop- olis, its liquid thoroughfares and pic- turesque gondolas; the Plazza San Marco, the Piazetta, the numerous churches with the Doges Palace and the Rialto are to be pictured and de- scribed. For those who appreciate the beautiful in nature, the Italian lakes with thelr background of snow-capped mountains will appear. Nowhere are there more magnificent villas, finer gardens or a greater array of flowers than around the shores of the lake: The Traveltalk is a fitting climax to what, perhaps, is the most compre- hensive series on Italy vet presented on the screen.
