Coming Attractionc NATIONAL PLAYERS—"The Thief.” | Next week the National Theater Play- ers will offer a sterling bit of theatricals {in the celebrated piay by Henri Bern- stein, “The Thief,” which will open Monday evening, May 13. ‘Kyrle Bellew, one of the finest actors that ever trod the boards, created the pivotal role in “The Thief.” The play is momentous drama, replete with clever character opportunities. It has been rated by critics as one of the outstand- ing dramas of Bernstein, whose most ted work, perhaps, was “Israel, a play that falls in the class with Zang- will's “The Melting Pot.” " - ' In reviving such a sterling ce O theater as “The Thief” the Ygltlonll Theater Players are climbing to new heights, for this play calls for precise Al y on the part of nearly every ‘member of the cast. To this end Addi- son Pitt, director of the National Play- ers, is putting his cast through a severe training for one of the most important weeks of the current repertory season.
