THE Metropolitan _Opera Co. will come to the Fox Theater next week, for performances Wednesday, Thurs- day and Friday. Three operas are to o be . by Puccini, on the opening night, with Beni- amino Gigli, Paolo Ananian, Lucrezia Bori, Ezio Pinza, Nanette Guilford and Lawrence Tib- bett in the princi- dano, Thursday night, with Giusep- pe DeLuca, Rosa Ponselle, Giovanni Martinelli, Paolo Ananian and Alfio Tedesco, and at the Friday matinee the 1y Rosa Ponselle. 1osing _perform- ance, “Traviata,” by Verdi, will be sung | with Lucrezia Bori, Lawrence Tibbett and Paclo Ananian. Aside from the artistic and musical phases of the coming of the famed Metropolitan _organization, this visit brings to Washington an unusual social asset. Washington's congressional, dip- lomatic and society leaders will occupy an improvised “diamond horseshoe” of boxes. The engagement of the company is backed by civic leaders of the National Capital through the Washington Opera Association, 1Inc, Mrs. Robert Low Bacon, chairman, and Mrs. Wilson- Greene, manager. undertaking, for any surplus that may be created, will be carried over to next year, to assure a longer and more di- versified season. National Players Offer “The Honor of the Famil TIS SKINNER'S delightful play, “The Honor of the Family,” will be revived by the National Players next week, beginning Monday. It can be whispered that Walter Gilbert has play- ed the Skinner role before, in Boston, and that he numbers it among the finest things in a repertoire that em- braces 500 principal parts. Briefly, this comedy, founded on a Balzac tale, deals with the return from the wars of Col. Philippe Bridau and what eventuates upon his homecoming. Pinding his uncle’s household controlled by a scheming woman and her equally unscrupnlous consort, the colonel takes matters into his own hands and with all the finesse of the blunt army disciplina- rian clenas houes dexterously and up- roariously. George White's “Scandals” . At Poli's Theater Monday. EPLETE with original ideas, the an- | nouncement states, from a scenic, costume and presentation standpoint, | George White will bring the latest edi- tion of his celebrated “Scandals” to Poli’s Theater for a week next Monday evening. While infectious melodies and rip- pling humor always feature the “Scan- dals,” this year's edition, it is claimed, fairly overbubbles with hit songs and rollicking comedy. William K. Wells, Lew Brown and George White have brought a richly sat sketches, and Cliff Priend and George White have kept pace with an original touch in both lyrics and music This year “Bottom Up,” a fast-step- ping dance that is not only colorful, but has a definite idea behind it, is an outs'anding feature. Mr. White is said to have thrown tradition to the proverbial winds and has unearthed new talent for his revue The new cast, therefore, features, in addition to Willie and Eugene Howard the popular Frances Williams, Mitchell and Durant, Evelyn Wilson, Marietta, the Abbott Specialty Dancers, Carolyn Nolte, Florence Robinson, Fred Lyon, James Carty, the Elm City Four, the Scott Sisters, Arthur Cardinal, Harry Morrissey and a company of 50 “Scan- dals” beauties. Scenically, the new “Scandals” is said to excel in gorgeousness anything heretofore sponsored by Mr. White. He has blended this with an original touch in costume background that makes the whole a thing of beauty. Gayety Announces “Hello Paree” Next. SEYELLO PAREE” comes to the Gay- ety Theater next week. Inspiring reports are said to have been received concerning this attraction from all over the Mutual circuit. ‘Fhis is its fourth visit, and ghe pres- b Soon to Be Seen in Washington Theaters ic touch to their | Winn "She ent show is said to top them all. In the company are such well known | performers as Lee Hickman, tramp comedian, and Mildred Franklin, song- stress of note, both featured. Others are Eleanore Abble, Eida Langer, Milt Davis, Alan Bard, Dorothy K. Fuller, Billy Woodall snd Eddie Miles, to- ether with a chorus of singing and cing beautles, who make the most of | smart costumes and dazaling scenery. Columbia’s Next Feature | Will Be “Puttin’ on the Ritz.” "PV’['I'IN' ON THE RITZ” will be the screen attraction at Loew Columbia, starti Saturday. It is & United Artists picture, featuring the Broadway songster, Harry Richmond, and the fast-stepping, dancing, singing, talking production also has a fine cast, which includes Joan Bennett, James Gleason, Alleen Pringle and Lilyan Tashman. Music is by Irving Berlin. The story concerns a light-hearted, likable yet somewhat conceited vaude- | ville star, who succeeds, with the help of a y show girl, in putting over a song number that brings him fame and a part in large show with the girl. Success goes to his head, however, and he begins to forget his little partner for |a society woman, who considers him just a “clown.” Later he learns just ho‘*l) much his little show partner meant to him. “Hot Dog,” a canine comedy, with an | entire cast of dogs, that appear to talk |and act out a complete story, is an | added attraction, and the Hearst Metro- | tone News, short subjects and the Co- | lumbia Orchestra will complete the bill. 1t s a non-profit | | A1 Jolson in “Mammy” At the Metropolitan. AL JOLSON, home again, with new song hits, will be seen and heard at | Warner Bros” Metropolitan Theater the week beginning Friday in his latest Vitaphone success, “Mammy.” Cast as a minstrel trooper, Jolson is said to rise to new dramatic heights in “Mammy,” but he is also prodigal with his infectious comedy. This picture was | written especially for him, words and music by Irving Berlin. In it Jolson sings six new songs by the melody | master, Berlin, and also contributes | three old numbers, to which he im- | parts life and soul with his individual | style of singing. The latter are “Yes, | sir, That's My Baby,” “St. Louis Blues” {and “Southland.” Jolson is supported in “Mammy” by an excellent cast. The romantic story is close knit and fast moving, breaking | only to allow Jolson to sing his songs. | The minstrel scenec in the produc- tion are lavishly mounted, and many of the big musical episodes are filmed in the improved technicolor. - “Alias French Gertie,” R-K-O Keith’s New Film. BEBE DANIELS and Ben Lyon “team” together in Radio Pictures' talking romance, “Alias French Gertie,” which comes to the R-K-O Keith Saturday. | Tt is their first joint appearance on the | screen and Miss Daniels' first straight dramatic role since the advent of the talkies. The story was adapted from “The Chatterbox,” a successful play | by Bayard Veiller, and presents Ben | Lyon as the smooth, light-fingered Jim- mie Hartigan. “Allas Prench Gerte” is described as | a dramatic inside picture of the societ: “racket” as practiced by smoot ing “French” maids and their male ac- complices. It shows the adventures of Gertle, always scheming and planning | successful coups on the rich, with the | aid of her accomplices, who suddenly | realize, after Jimmie is caught and sen- tenced to a year in jail, that the penalty | is too great for the rewards. When he [is released, however, she continues the racket because of his insistence, but_eventually prevails on him to quit. | He attempts one last job in defiance of her entreaties, which almost proves the undoing of both of them. | The talkie was produced under the | direction of George Archainbaud and supporting players in the cast include Robert O'Connor, Betty Pierce, John Ince and Daisy Belmore. “Up the Congo” an unusual trave- | 13‘\1!, will be shown as an added attrac- | tion. | Fox to Offer “Cameo Kirby.” 'HE Fox Theater announces “‘Cameo Kirby” as its screen attraction be- ginning Saturday, to and including ‘Tuesday. This romance of the South. land is' from the play by Booth Tark- ington and Harry Leon Wilson. Its principal players are J. Harold Murray and Norma Terris, formerl Ziegleld management; Dougl Gil- Case of Sergt. Grischa.” oon more, Robert Edeson, Myrna Loy, Charles Morton and the colored come- dian, Stepin Fetchit. It is the rather well known story of the Mississippi River gambler, Cameo Kirby, who had a weakness for cameos. It was screened seversl years ago as a silent picture with John Gilbert in the lead. Now it is & talking Fox Movie- tone production. The stage will offer Fanchon and Marco's “Accordion” Idea, which fea- tures the musical instrument of that classification. A long list of enter- tainers in the cast includes Burt and Lehmann, Theodore and Katya, Nat Spector, Mary Price, Arnold Hartman, the Accordion Beauties and the Sun- kist Girls, with Alexander Callam as ‘master of ceremonies. Leon Brusiloff and the Fox Grand Orchestra will offer a special overture and the Fox Movietone News will com- plete the program. “Show Girl in Hollywood,” Earle's Feature Friday. WARNER BROTHERS' Earle The- ater, starting Priday of this week, will present saucy Alice White as the star in “Show Girl in Hollywood,” the First National and Vitaphone adapta- tion of J P. McEvoy's serial and a se- quel to “Show Girl,” which McEvoy also wrote and Miss White created in a First National production. These new adventures of Dixie Du- gan, Broadway show girl and dancer, in the land of cameras and microphones are said to be unique. The picture presents a fast-moving romance, contin- uous fun, glim of many film stars and talkie stu and many beautiful musical sequences in Technicolor. Jack Mulhall is seen as Jimmy Doyle, Dixie’s friend and cheer leader. Blanche Bweet returns to the films in this pic- ture as a movie star. Ford Sterling. John Miljan, Virginia Sale, Lee Shum- way and Herman Bing also are in the cast. Miss White has three new song hits— “T've Got My Eye on You,” “Hollywood” and “Hang On to a Rainbow.” ‘Additional features will include Vita- phone Varieties, the Earle Orchestra and The Evening Star-Universai and Pathe newsreels, with Graham McNa- mee officiating as ‘“newsreel reporter” for the former. “Montana Moon” At Loew’s Palace, ‘OAN CRAWFORD in the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer outdoor romance of the West, “Montana Moon,” comes to Loew’s Palace Saturday. Brown, Dorothy Sebastian, Cortez, Benny Rubin, Clif Edwards and Karl Dane comprise the supporting cast. ‘There are five song hits In the picture and the cowboy chorus is one which will be long remembered. The Flot centers about the daughter of a wealthy rapch owner who, disgusted with her soclety friends, jumps off their West- bound train when it stops for water. She meets a cowboy whose sincere, rug- ged character wins her admiration, and she becomes involved in a hasty, im- petuous marriage, which opens the way to further trouble and dramatic oppo tunities. On the stage Dave Schooler will IE- pear in a Loew presentation from the ‘apital Theater, New York, called ‘Color Rhythm.” Serge Flash, miracle man, in ball manipulation; June Ca piquant song and dance comedienn the Small Brothers, fast-footed step- and a ballet of Chester Hale girls new process for color effects is used with startling and beautiful results.

Rialto Opens With “Captain of the Guard.” THE Rialto Theater, at Ninth and G streets, will reopen, after having been closed for some weeks, with John Boles, in person, for Saturday and Sunday, and his newest picture, “Cap- tain of the Guard,” in which he and Laura La Plante are cast in two ex- cellent roles, and in which the splendid voice of Boles is heard in many beau- tiful numbers. “Captain of the Guard” was orig- inally made under title of “La Mar- seillaise,” but this title was changed because many found vastly different ways of mispronouncing the title. The picture is a romantic story of the ad- venturous life of Rouget de Lisle, who and his love for the gentle Marie, who afterward became the flaming “torch” of the revolutionary armies in the French revolution. It is the love of these young people for each other and the love of the French people for free- dom that inspires De Lisle to write “La Marseillaise.” The tremendous &)wer of the song sweeps the armies on victory, although the writer loses his place at court and becomes an outcast and a hunted man. Charles Wakefield Cadman wrote the musical background for the piece. Rox Rommell, former Washingtonian and at one time leader of the to Thea- ter Symphony Orchestra, wrote the four popular hits which Mr. Boles sings in the picture. These are “For You,” “You, You Alone,” “Maids on Parade” and “Can It Be?” Besides Laura La Plante there are in the cast some 5,000 persons, including several screen favorites, such as Sam De Grasse, James Marcus, Lionel Bel- more, Stuart Holmes, Evelyn Hall, Claude Fleming, Murdock MacQuarrie, George Hackathorne and Dewitt Jen- nh‘}‘:. is picture, rating as a “spectacle,” was made by Universal on the lavish scale of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” some five years ago. In addition to the feature picture there is The Evening Star-Universal Newspaper News Reel, with Graham McNamee as announcer of events; a comedy and a cartoon. Ray Hart and his Rialto Orchestra offer new musical arrangements. o — ‘AT EASTE| Color Eggs With Beawtiful - Brilliant - Delicate ‘ 3 C“ln‘l’lll“m c* I\ Safe - Harmiess + Simple to Use 6 Modern COLOR SHEETS 4 Novel SURPRISE: ' .
