Attractions in Washington Theaters NATIONAL PLAYERS—“The Bad Man.” Beginning Monday night, the Na- ticnal Theater Players will present the . celebrated Porter Emerson Browne comedy, “The Bad Man,” in which the late Holbrook Blinn was starred several 0. ‘There wall be the usual Saturday matinees. jad Man,” although it was written years ago, is probably more timely today than at any other time in the history of the country since the celebrated Vera Cruz incident in 1914, or when Mexican bandits attacked American border towns. It has to do with a proverbial bad man, Pancho Lopez, a Mexican, who is no ordinary bandit. In New York he gleaned ideas in the approved American manner, and when he got back to Mexico, he dreamed of putting them into execu- tion, so he and his band of desperadoes bore down on the Jones ranch, just over the border from Mexico. There all the action of the play takes place, and in those environs the bad man runs up against another character, an American equally as daring. Essentially a eomedy. “The Bad Man” has a great love story running through it. This will be taken care of by Miss Mary Newton and Wilired Ly- Robert Brister will have the title role in “The Bad Man.” WARDMAN PARK—‘“Marionettes.” The Tatterman “Marionettes™ at the Junior Theater at Wardman Park this Friday - and Saturday are awakening much interest among the youthful pa- trons of this theater for youth.
