g e KNIGHTS TEMPLAR JUDGE LIST FILLED Teams Prepare for Drill| Competition and Inspection. ‘The roster of judges for the competi- tive drill of the local Kights Templar, a week from tonight in the Waghing- ton Auditorium, has been compleud with the selection of two offiicals of the Baltimore jurisdiction to assist ‘Walter W. Webber of Denver, Colo., the chief arbiter. The two judges are J. Floyd Arga- bright and Edwin S. Wright, past com- manders of the Baltimore Command- | ery. No. 2, and former captains of prize drill teams. Arrangements for the af- fair, which will combine a grand ball with the competitive drill, inspection and massed military maneuvers by the | black-clad knights, have been almost | completed. | Each team is holding frequent prac- | tice drills and is rapidly mastering the intricacies of the sword manual, which is one of the features of the military movements of the fraternity. James C. Greenlay, grand command- er of the Virginia jurisdiction, will at- tend the meeting. Invitations have gone out to heads of several other dis- tricts, but answers have not yet been received. It is hoped the neighboring | grand commanderies will unite in fu- ture years with the Washington Knights ‘Templar in a single drill and ball. AMUSEMI NTS, NATIONAL—Otis Skinner in “Papa Juan.” Otis Skinner, with 53 years on the stage behind him—and more than that in this world—comes to the National this week as “Papa Juan” in a charm- ing play that is written around the deep and placid philosophy of old age. To say that he is equipped for the part is trite, yet full of meaning in the sense that his years alone and the rich mels lowness that comes with years of living enable him to give the touch of a mas- ter to this fine portrait of a fine old man. An evening with Mr. Skinner is never wasted, and if this latest play of his— taken from the Spanish of Serafin and Joaquin Alvarez Quintero—drags at times, with a tendency to run off on lit- tle expeditions aside that make its prog- ress tardy, such faults do not_exist when Papa Juan is on the stage. Noth- m{ could be more exquisite or done with a nicer perfection than his char- acterization of the patriarch who, hav- inl lived a full century, gathers up the hreads that bind him to his children, l’lll children’s children and the children of his children’s children to untangle them from the knots that time has tied and set them straight again. ‘The story itself is based on the ap- proaching celebration of Papa Juan’s 100th birthday, at which he has de- termined to gather around him his family, now reaching to the fourth gen- eration. But even in one generation the tricks and foibles of life and society can split a family wide; in two there may be barriers stronger than high stone wllls lnd in three these barriers may to petrified traditions, than which thrz is nothing harder to knock down. But Papa Juan levels all these for one evening, and, stepping forth into a new century, presses on to one last goal—to see the birth of a great-great-grand- child. This last provides the theme for a pretty love story that is made the more attractive by the fine work ot Lhz personable Mary Arbenz as great-granddaughter, and by Hardie Al- bright as Trino, a grandson chip off the old block. Others in support of Mr. Skinner, notably Katherine Grey, Gerald Hamer, Octavia Kenmore and Florence McGee, are admirably cast for their parts as the various types of branches that have sprung from the old tree. The action in the play is slow, but this must be true of one that takes old age as its central character, and if old age is slow, it nevertheless runs deep and stretches far under the surface of luhter and more sparkling things. settings for the room in Papa Jms villa, in which the three acts take ‘are attractive and some of the lines in the play are written to last. Mr. Skinner’s return to Washington last once indicated its appreciation in re- peated, if futile, pleas for a word or two from Mr. Skinner. B. M. McK.

It was more than a pleasure to hear the “Brown October Ale” come over the footlights, and the number of times that Greek Evans had to repeat it was proof of its popularity and the manner of its rendition. With a chorus that never held itself back, this rousing song fol- lowed its old triumphant course high up into the rafters. At the rise of the curtain it was like meeting old friends again when Little John, Friar Tuck and Will Scarlet, to- gether with the rest of the band, made their appearance.

Olga Steck, after she had assumed feminine garments, was a charming Maid Marian, Sudworth Frazier as the debonair Robin Hood is a upsbl: lover as well as an outlaw, and Lorna Doon: Jackson, although considérably ham- pered by the traditional Alan-A-Dale hosiery, brings a pleasant contralto voice :} that lovely old song, “Oh, Promise William Danforth in the role of the tipsy sheriff was hilariously funny. It | is a question whether or not his contin- uous interpolations are wise even though amusing to his fellow players. Certainly he failed to reach his high punning peak, when he sald to Maid Marion, “Fie on_you for talking to a strange'man! What would your flance?” ‘The rest of the cast is splendid, even I‘.he four ptlc youths in armor, who were and off the stage by a far fiom lnvulble hand from the wings to the great amusement of the audience.
