N . THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1930. Attractions in Washington Theaters NATIONAL—“Vagabond King.” ‘The return of “The Vagabond King” to the National for a week’s engage- ment is announced, beginning Sunday. The operetta was seen in Washing- ton two years ago, when it created a lasting impression. Based on Justin Huntley McCarthy's “If I Were King,” and set to a beautiful and inspiring score by Rudolph Friml, “The Vaga- bond King"” has proved one of the real delights of the modern theater. It was inevitable that sooner or later some one would get together a musical version of the vivid career of Francois Villon, the vagabond thief and poet, who has agtated the imagination of so many literary men. It seems to be an unwritten law with fictionists that before they write finis to their work they must try to recover something of the vividness of that vagrant spirit. Stephenson took a shot at it—an excellent one, of course—and many others. POLI'S—"Robin Hood.” ‘That glorious comic opera, “Robin Hood,” with exquisite score and well written story, will be presented at Poli’s ‘Theater Monday evening, January 27, and for two weeks, by a company des- ignated as “‘an all-star cast.” T7hen the famous Bostonians first produced this masterpiece by Reginald de Koven—with the book and lyrics by Harry B. Smith—on June 9, 1890, it virtually became the musical vogue of the world. Every vocalist sang, every band played and every street organ tortured “Oh, Promise Me,” “Brown October Ale,” “The Tinker's Chorus” and other popular airs of “Robin Hood.” For “Robin Hood” is a fascinating com- position prodigal with melodic and euphonic concord, as well ds exquisite rhythms, vigorous, sympathetic and lingering; has songs that will live for- ever and a story that pulsates with romance and adventure. The cast engaged to give vitality and | rhythmic utterance to this romantic gem is Roy Cropper, Olga Steck, Wil- liam Danforth, Lorna Doone Jackson, Greek Evans, Charles E. Galagher, John | Cherry, William H. White, Dorothy Seeger, Sara Shepperd and a mangnifi- cent ensemble and production. The en- gagement is for two weeks only. GAYETY—“Girls From Happyland.” “Girls From Happyland” is scheduled at the Gayety Tehater next week. It is described 'as a wonderfully diverting show. After each fun spasm comes a Jjazzified song, a startling dance or some :;m of novel stunt to hold the atten- ion. Two skits, “Trial on Trials” and “China Breaking,” are promised to be alone worth the price of admission. Be that as it may, the fact remains that| “Girls From Happyland” has an envi- able reputation for its fine entertain- ment qualities. Its popular burlesquers include Charles Marshall, a boob comedian, and Victor Buckley, clever singi and dancing soubrette, to set the lively pace for other favorites, among them Ben Lerner, Dutch comedian; Henri Kellar, straight man; Tim n, juvenile; Tenny Hilson, blonde singing and dancing ingenue. Millie Kennedy, dancing soubrette, and Rae Le Anse, a brunette of singing and dancing fame. }:lo', overlooking a genuine whoopee chorus. PROF. WILL HUTCHINS—This Evening.
