Attractions in Washington Theaters NATIONAL—Stratford-Upon-Aven Players. ‘The coming of the Stratford-Upon- Avon Festival company to the National ‘Theater next Monday night for a week of -.Shakesperean repertory is likely to awaken wide interest among Washing- ton theatergoers, since the engagement will mark the first visit to this city of the notable organization from the town ©f Shakespeare's birth. Many Washingtonians have contrib- uted to the rebuilding of the Shake- speare Memorial Theater at Stratford, and many more have visited the little ‘Warwickshire town and have there seen these distinguished players in their own environment.

Matt, one of them, falls in love with Anna and she returns his love, but refuses to marry him because of her past, which she is_finally forced to reveal.

METROPOLITAN Gods,” the First National Vitaphone production at the Metropolitan The- ater, will remain for a second week. If crowds are a criterion, “Son of the Gods” may be said to be one of the most popular pictures in which Bar- thelmess has appeared in recent years. It is the story of a boy who believes his father is a wealthy Chinese mer- chant. Snubbed at college and in so- ciety because of his supposed Oriental birth, the Son of the Gods goes to Eu- | rope, where he meets and falls in love | with a wealthy American society girl. | It is based on a novel by Rex Beach.

It is based upon the play of the same title by Alfred Sutro, in which Ethel Barry- more appeared several seasons ago. It concerns a woman divorced by her hus- band on circumstantial evidence.
