HILL'S CASCARA-QUININE In the RED BOX—Al Draggists THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. OPENING ATTRACTIONS IN WASHINGTON THEATERS POLI'S—“The Desert Song.” “The Desert Song,” which, with its romantic story and its haunting melo- dies, has entranced many audiences during the last year or two, has re- turned to Washington for a week's run at Poli's Theater. Its first appearance here was under the title of “The Red Shadow,” and the “Red Shadow” is still the chief figure in the story of this operetta. Notwithstanding the fact that two leading parts were filled by under- studies, the production moved forward last night with verve and enthusiasm. The music is delightful and the pro- ducers have collected a chorus that can really sing. The management 3 nounced that Donald Douglas, wio usually plays the part of Capt. Paul Fortaine, had been drafted to fill the part of Pierre Birabeau, son of the governor of a French Moroccan prov- ‘This Pierre is the “Red Shad- tion among the French by his support of the Riffs. Alexander Grey. who has been cast for this part of Pierre, was summoned to Chicago to attend a fu- neral. Miss Bernice Claire, described as the star of “The Desert Song,” also was absent from the cast, owing to an automobile accident, . not to her- self, but to her brother. Both these principals, the management announced, would return to the company within a day or two. Miss Charlotte Lansing last night took the place of Miss Claire. She was no mere stopgap. Her voice and acting were entirely enjoyable. Mr. Douglas, stepping from his own part into that of Mr. Grey, put it across without a falter. ‘The music of “The Desert Song” was composed by Sigmund Romberg, who has to his credit many a score for musi- cal comedy and light opera. In “The Desert Song” Mr. Romberg has struck a high note. The score calls for much work on the part of the chorus, par- ticularly the male chorus, and the com- pany last night proved equal to the de- mands. ‘A tale of love and romance that ranges from Paris to the Moroccan desert is interwoven in fhe operetta. Margot Bonvalet, engaged to Capt. For- taine, comes from the security of her home to Morocco, seeking romance in a moonlit desert. Between the Riffs and the soldiers of France. the native women and & bevy of Spanish beauties, not to mention the girls of France who have followed their soldlers to Morocco, there is plenty of opportunity for color- ful costuming and settings. Comedy is freely strewn through this romantic operetta, and many of the lines were applauded last night. Nor is the production without “specialties,” one being an Oriental dance by Edna Torrence,. who apparently is noc bothered by the usual limitations placed upon human beings by bones and joints. It would be unfair not to mention Ali Ben Ali, and his song, accompanied by the male chorus, “Eastern and Western Love,” was one of the striking features. BELASCO—"“Sally.” ‘The Savoy Musical Comedy Co.’s ver- sion of Filorenz zlmeld‘: successful production, “Sally,” was played before a hm }:;xdunee in the Belasco Theater last nigl There is undoubtedly the nucleus of a good show as it was presented by the stock company last night and rehearsals will polish off some rough edges to make it a smooth as well as an entertaining production. The play “Sally” is familiar and need not be described in detail. Thelma Parker “Sally” displayed much of her usual abllity and her cuteness at- tracted as usual. There was good sing- ing by the Savoy Male Octet, and Robert Carbaugh, one of the members, did a good solo number, playing his own accompaniment on the “uke.” Robert Capron, playing the part of the awkward waiter and Duke of What- ever You May Call It, gave his usual good performance when cast in a comic role. Amusing and touching scenes are presented when Sally, a dishwasher in a little restaurant, and Connie, a waiter, played by Capron, attend a garden party at the home Farquar’s, well-to~ dos, while Sally poses as a great dancer and Connie is attending as a duke. Lee Daley as Otis Hooper, a theatri- culllgent gets off many clever lines wel! Other main characters also were per- formed in & manner worthy of mention.. They are: Edward Metcalfe as “Pops,” restaurant proprietor; Renee Hamilton as Rosalind Rafferty, manicurist; Rosa Snowden as Mrs. Ten Broeck, settle- ment worker; James McKay as Ad- miral Travers, a “gay one”; Jack Clos- son, as Blair Farquar, the hero lover of the story; Robert Burton as Jimmy Spelvin, an attractive young man, and Vance Leonard as Richard Farquar, the dignified rich man at whose home ;‘h?d(umous garden party in the play is eld. NATIONAL—"Spain.” “Spain”"—Newman's second travel talk in his present series—was described and pictured at the National Theater yes- terday afternoon. Spain is famillar ground to screen travelers, but new angles of old scenes and customs pro- vided the thrill of novelty to even so ancient a country as the land of the dons. The tour had its real beginning at_ Seville, now in the world’s spot- light because of its Spanish-American Exposition, and motion picture glimpses were given of the beauty spots of the grounds and of life in the sierpes, the Broadway of Seville. Crossing the Quadal River, dear to romance, a stop was made at Cordoba, where a pause was made before a mosque that became a cathedral, “the most unusual church in the world"— thence to “Granada, the superb,” with a pilgrimage to the Alhambra; through . and | least everybody in the audiences yes- seemed to gypsies, young and old, The tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, with other royal coffins, were shown with -atmospheric somberness, and in @ visit to Toledo, the home of the sing- ing blade, a view was given of the making of this immortal weapon, to- gether with the Alcazar and anclent synagogues. The second part was given to a sub- stantial realization of Madrid, old and new, that showed its loveliest park and modern streets crowded with people that might represent any large city of this country, with the additional pres- tige of gayly uniformed officers, on bay chargers, parades of infaniry, not un- like ours, and bands that seemed weighted down with what must have been loud-tongued brasses. There was a spectacular “change of guard” wit- nessed while on the way to a bull fight with 1's exciting sport by Portuguese matadors and their superb horses, and a visit to the royal palace showing not only its gorgeous throneroom, but the private rooms of the King and Queen. An opporiunity was given “to mingle with royalty,” with intimate glimpses of Alphonso and his consort at an out- door fete as well as in their home. The Pardo Gallery, the Escorial with its priceless Bibles and tombs of Spanish .monarchs, were visited 'before leavinz for Segovia, the “Home: of Eml in the Summer,” with its ‘cathedral and promenades, and for a final trip, the way led to Barcelona, the great seaport, where speciai attention was ld to the new exposition building al completed for the opening of its vorld fair. Parks homes and gardens and other sights of Barcelona, gave promise of rich returns for those who attend the exposition, and evidenced the prog- ress of “the new Spain.” Mr. Newman will present “Germany, 1928,” next Sunday. STRAND—“Wine, Woman and Song.” ‘The Strand Theater this week is pre- senting a two-ringer, “Wine, Woman and Song,”.and in it a two-colored company, each in its own field: helping to make the welkin ring, for a joint organization of 74 players with a joint penchant for jazz does that very thing. And the jazz syncopation is very much in evidence in the songs, the dances and the splrlz of ‘the merry merries, with comedy to match. The result is that everybody is happy, or at BEWARE THE COUGHS THAT FOLLOW FLU!

FOX—“In Old Arizona.” ‘What must certainly rank as one of the two or three most engrossing talking pictures yet to come of this latest advance in motion picture tech- nique is “In Old Arizona,” which open- ed this week at the Fox Theater. It represents what is, at this point in the development of sound films. one of the most expert combinations of dram- atic action—of the patterned movie style—and audible effects that has been achieved. The film, based on O. Henry's story of - the Southwest, “The Caballero’s Way,” was screened for the most part in Zion National Park and the Mojave h | Desert, and has been heralded as “the first -ll-ulkm: feature production made outdoors.” One isn't inclined to quibble with the plcture as art; it is satisfying enough, as near an approach to sen- sitiveness as the original O. Henry stuff, but as representative of a stage in talk- ing picture evolution, it may be recom- mended unqualifiedly for an_evening’s consideration. The documentary value of such a film is inestimable; in a couple of years, perhaps, it will be as archalc as.a Chaplin pie slinger is Codly. but at the moment—in compar- ison to its fellows—it is far outstand- ing.
