The Guild’s production made a hit in New York and London, and the same cast which gave it in those two cities swill come to Washington. It includes Alfred Lunt, Lynn Fontanne, Lily Ca- hill, Douglass Montgomery, Leonard Loan, Geneva Harrison, Caroline New- comb and Lawrence Farrell. Philip Moeller _translated, adapted and staged the Guild version, while | Aline Bernstein designed the setting. Mr. Moeller is well known the di- rector of “Strange Interlu “Dyna- mo,” “The Guardsman,” Through the Needle’s Ey Second Man.” The story of “Caprice” concerns the troubles of an amorous lawyer, who is exasperated by the caprices of his wom- yan friend and upset by the untimeiy appearance of an erstwhile sweetheart and their 16-year-old son. Sil-Vara has handled his story in a light, satir- \ ical, sophisticated vein, typical of the Viennese school. Mr, Moeller has adapted it in the same mood. ‘The play marks the only appsarance of Mr. Lunt and Miss Fontanne this season at the National Theater.

The company includes Jack Hunt, fea- tured comedian; Babe Abbott, singing and stepping soubrette; Harry Leff, sec- ond-string comic; Gladys Lockwood, dancer; Frane du France, straight man; Eloise Dwan, a prima donna lead who can sing, and Dolly Ashton, ingenue and 4 number leader, who sings and helps Kitty Madison in some of her synco- ted selections.
