What's What and W here Attractions Soon to Be Seen in Washington Theaters N"TIONAL PLAYERS—Monday. ‘The National Theater Players, Man- | ager S. E. Cochran's especial pride an Washington's dramatic promise for the | ‘weeks to come, wiii appear in their pre- miere Monday evening, when Philip| Barry’s romantic comedy, “Holiday,” one | of the great successes of the Plymouth | Theater, will be presented at the Na- | tional Theater, with Marion Wells, | Marion Sterly ‘and Walter Gilbert in | the three characterizations upon which the autMor and playwright bases the contention that gold is illusory unless Thooked up with an object in life. After weeks of laborious preparation | and rehearsal, Manager Cochran’s rep- | ertory company is beginning its Spring and Summer endeavor, it is said, with | every assurance of success. Certainly the players will not want for an audi- | ence, for the advance reservations have | been' unusually gratifying; and yet Man- ager Cochran states that always he has | room for more. The story of “Holiday,” the opening play, concerns a young attorney, wise in | the ways of plodders who spend their lives accumulating wealth, but who re- tire at an age too advanced for them to | enjoy their savings. This young at- | torney, however, decides he will retire after making a killing in the . He is encouraged by a sweet youngster with whom he is much_in love, but who, independent of all labor save dancing and having a good time, knows no other way to live her life. A | triangle is supplied by her sister, ac- | customed to the same luxuries, but who has a stancher backbone, a healthier | outlook upon life. What follows is | crisply, sometimes_bitingly, told in a | humorous vein by Playwright Barry. POLP'S—“Journey’s End.” “Journey’s End,” the war play, yet not a war play, by R. C. Sherriff, which | had amazing success in London, and which Gilbert Miller produced with phe- nomenal results in this country, will be resented at Poli’s Theater next week, Joyce head the distinguished support- | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, be & generous revival of the popular old songs, including “I Love a Lassie,” “Roaming in the Gloaming,” “When I Was Twenty-one,” “The Wedding 0" Sandy McNab,” “She’s Ma Daisy” and | other melodies and characterizations which Lauder’s public will not permit the minstrel to put aside. Sir Harry will present his song char- acterizations in costume and with ap- propriate scenic settings, while the first part of the program will be given over | to what is lared to be the cleverest | company of entertainers that has ever | been offered in conjunction with the noted Caledonian comedian. METROPOLITAN—"The Green Goddess.” A notable event in the Spring motion picture season at Warner Bros.' Mev.m-‘ politan Theater will be the presentation of George Arliss in “The Green God- | dess,” a Warner Bros.' and Vitaphone | adaptation of the thrilling stage play by William Archer, starting Friday of this master of ceremonies, will sing a song or two and introduce the performers. Leon Brusiloff with the Fox Orches- tra will present a special overture and the Fox Movietone News will round out the new orogram. R-K-O KEITH'S—“Lovin" the Ladies.” Lauded as one of the most entertain- ing and enjoyable films Richard Dix | has ever made, “Lovin’ the Ladies, | talking comedy romance, comes to R-K-O Keith’s Saturday. o Curlously enough, “Lovin’ the Ladles" | gives Dix the first chance he has hld‘ in pictures to play a role he originally | created on the stage. The film was adapted from Willian Le Baron's Broad- | way comedy, “I Leve You” in which | DIX was starred several years ago on | the New York stage. The play was an | dutstanding hit during its long run on Brondway. Dix is cast as an electrician who at- tempts to break into the smart set. Developments prove to be unusually | amusing, giving him great opportunity at handling light comedy. . notable supporting cast includes Lois Wilson, who will be remembered as | Dix's heroine in several silent pictures; | Allen Kearns, stage comedian; Rita La Roy, Renee Macready and Anthony Bushell. EARLE—“Slightly Scarlet.” | Clive Brook and Evelyn Brent are eek. “The Green Goddess” is not set to which the one and only Arliss made | his talking picture debut. It is an ex-| his characterization of the suave and | sinister rajah and Rukh and the hair- | raising adventures of three English | strangers, two men and a woman, whose plane, flying through the Himalaya | Mountains, is forced down in the tiny | and little known Kingdom of Rukh, | where the green goddess is worshiped. | The visitors are welcomed by the rajah and taken to his castle, but soon | learn they are his prisoners and are destined to be sacrificed on the altar of the green goddess, in retaliation for the Ralph Forbes, H. B. Warner and Alice ing company, which also includes Betty | Boyd, Nigel de Brulier, Ivan Simpson, featured in a thrilling screen story of international romance and jewel thiev- | | the Victorian rhythm of “Disraell,” in | ery, entitled “Slightly Scarlet,” at the Earle Theater during the new week, beginning Friday. With scenes laid in | citing melodrama, depicting Arliss in | the gay continental centers of Paris and Nice, this tale of love among society thieves features a surprise a minute. Brook and Miss Brent are surrounded by a cast which includes Paul Lukas, Helen Ware, Claude Allister, Eugene Pallette. Virginia Bruce, Henry Wads- worth, Christiane Yves and Morgan Farley. Miss Brent is seen as the unwilling | agent of the leader of a band of inter- | nantlal jewel thieves, with headquar- | ters In Paris.

OTTERBEIN—COLLEGE GLEE CLUB MONDAY. The Otterbein College Men's Glee Club and Banjo Orchestra is including Washington on its Spring tour this year. They will appear Monday eve- ning at the Memorial United Brethren Church in a pl‘Wr:m of high-class sical entertainment. " Composed of 32 men, the Otterbein Glee Club sings a_high type of concert music, many of the numbers being in its own arrangement. The club has been touring Ohio and neighboring States for n number of years, singing before enthusiastic audiences at all stops. 'This year's tour will cover 1,400 | miles in 10 days. In addition to the songsters, there is a banjo orchestra of 18 members, play- ing concert music. This orchestra par- ticipates in about one-third of the eve- ning's__entertainment. Instrumental specialties and a short chalk talk make the program varied. BUSINESS HIGH SPRING PLAY.

April 4-5. .. O WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1930. From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “Jonica” at the National Just Misses Being Fine. HE National “T;lelzr pllyeg host 'ast nigbt a ne I comedy _entitled an amusing and ribald production, which—like the initial days of Spring—showed signs of promise and then relapsed into uncertain cloudiness, plainly indicating the need of a resourceful gardener who will take away some of the more irksome weeds. “Jonica,” at present, stands on the brink of success, with consid- erable chances for a gust to come along and carry it into a bright future. There is music in this farce wrung from the nimble fingers of Joseph Meyer that should tickle the fancy of people who like such WoobpwARD & LoTHROP things for months to come. There is dancing that is well above the average and a cast that does what it can with a rather infantile plot. Plots, however, being one of the least essentials to a musical comedy, one doesn't particularly mind losing the thread now and again, since many of the lines that have been injected into the doubtful spots are as rau- cously amusing as one might wish. When the curtain is first lifted the scene is “a room in a convent,” distinctly reminiscent of something similar in “Show Boat,” and after the talented chorus and Jonica have sung and danced one of the best numbers of the show, “The Night it Happened,” the heroine is wafted to a railroad station, a Pullman sleeper, an artist’s studio and finally “Whip- poorwill Lodge.” Through this series of at least unconventional scenes in ostat, snd tha tmodlo too im; it, an mi dancing being splendid, one would prefer to see and hear more of the latter, One of the best-trained choruses seen this year do the.r steps with remarkable precision, also songs such as “Tell Me the Truth” and “A Million Good Reasons” are worthy of repetition. He certainly raised the roof last night when he pointed to a large and swollen suit case and said “I've got some good old Brookhart in there!” It also seems as though Joyce Barbour hasn't been allowed to exploit her considerable talents enough, her appearances being few and far between, and Jonica herself PLAN RETRENCHMENT BERLIN, March 26 (#)—Directors ot the German National Railways yester- day issued a statement declaring that in view of the present financial posi- tion and of the government’s failure to approve requests for higher rates the railways would be forced to undertake a g‘;nw o}om:&naent. y employes dismissed and needed construction postponed until the situation has improved. nning next Sunday evening. The scene is laid in the front-line dugout in France, but the interest of the program by Vitaphone Varieties, |, The Evening Star-Universal and Pathe news reels and music by the Earle O The Girl Reserves of Washington will |clude a Vitaphone variety. entitied e v their fourth annual Spring “Let's Elope,” featuring Betty and Jerry | Browne, and a Vitaphone variety filmed present the drama lies not in war as war—a series of melodramatic and unusual | events—but in war as expressed in the reactions of the small group of soldiers | whom we see. These men are directly in the path of the great German attack of 1918, and they are tensely waiting for | the rush of overwhelming odds. Mr. | Sherrift opens their minds to the audi- ence, and with never a touch of senti- mentality or pathos, it is said, causes the audience to live their lives mentally and physically through three dreadfuls of hope and fear. There is never | a false note nor a bit of overcoloring. The stark reality of conditions and of | the men themselves is presented with simplicity, directness and truth. There is no delving in the common- place, no raking up of mud, gutters or sewers. There is a glory and a ro- mance thrown about these men, but always the glory and romance of actual experience—more ‘than synthetic by- product manufactured by a dramatist who is self-consciously theatrical. Heading the cast are Richard Bird, Henry Stephenson, G. P. Huntley, ir.; Frederick Catling, Norman Pierce, Dan Booker, Charles e, Arthur Sten- ning, Robert Nobel—all in all, a finely effective ensemble in this notable pro- duction. GAYETY—“Best Show in Town.” “Best Show in Town,” a burlesque show, bea the stamp of newness in its laugh invitations, song creations and dance innovations, all fashioned on the 1930 models, will appear at the Gayety ‘Theater next week. Its special features are said to be far removed from the stereotype variety. Reggie White, & shimmy dancer, heads the company. Three pretty girls, Evelyn Dubois, Boots Rush and Marie Miller, are featured in singing and novel dancing evolutions. Among the male performers are Bob Startzman, eccentric comedian; Lou Costello, singing and dancing eccentric comedian; Ed Lalor, song-and-dance man, and Sammy Rice and Jack Staib, fashion-plate juveniles. HARRY LAUDER—SATURDAY. Sir Harry Lauder, unique ity, with the swinging melody of his songs, tempered by the sweet wistfulness that belongs to the land of the plaid and heather, will give a single performance ;!l't}l‘n: ‘Washington Auditorium Saturday Sir Harry is now renewing his popu- larity in_the important centers of the United States and Canada, and his program includes many new songs, written en route during his Antipodean tour, together with others first offered in London last year.

When a child is born, the hus- band secretly places it with a rich fam- ily so that it will not interfere with their work. This causes the wife to leave him. Several years later she finds him dying in a hospital and he tells her where the child is. The people per- suade her to continue her vocal studies and then come back for her child. ‘When she returns they try to pass off another child on her, but by a turn of fate she regains her own child and the happy ending is not far off. stage presentation, coming direct from the Capitol Thu‘r‘.

FOX—“South Sea Rose.” “South Sea Rose,” the second Fox production starring Leonore Ulric, the former Belasco stage star, is coming to the Fox Theater next week, In this talking feature Miss Ulric is cast as a French convent girl in the South Sea esles. She is supported by two male stars, Charles Bickford and Kenneth Mac- Kenna. Others in the cast are Tom bpe.'flwh' Daphne Pollard and Eva Pat- TSon. “South Sea Rose” is a romantic story of & madcap French maiden confined in a convent, who s rescued by the m.g- tain of & trading vessel (Charles Bick- ford), who_tricks her into a sea mar- riage in order to obtain a fortune which awaits her in France, The story devel- ops rapidly and with tense interest and speedy action, A colorful musical score includes several songs by Miss Ulric. ‘The stage will offer Buddy Walker, Rose Valyda, Brandles, Carroll and Mann in “Interruptions,” & Fanchon and Marco idea; Alene and Evans, Pearl Hoff, Caroline and Ruth and a bevy of Sunkist beauties.
