REAL SHAKESPEARE STAGE ARRANGED “The Tempest” to Be Pre- sented at National Sylvan Theater June 19-20. Washington drama enthusiasts will be given an opportunity to see a Shake- spearean play presented on a stage pop- | ular in England in the fifteenth cen- tury June 19 and 20 at the National| Sylvan Theater in the Monument | Grounds. | The Elizabethan stage will be used in the production of “The Tempest,” un- der the joint auspices of the Commu- nity Center Department of the public school system and the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks. Work al- Teady has started on the rostrum, de- signed by Prof. Will Hutchins of Amer- fcan University. It will be completed | under the personal direction of Harold Snyder, technical expert. The rare structure is composed of & fore-stage, an inner-stage and an up- per-stage. It is on the latter that the more intimate scenes will be enacted, jncluding the meeting between Miranda and her lover, Prince Ferdinand. The stage will be between 15 and 18 feet | wid> and deep in proportion. ! Special plans also have been made to | have an unusual lighting arrangement. Bulbs will dot the surrounding hill- sides. The stage lights will be in keep- ing with the old-type structure. Almost dally rehearsals have been| held recently by the large cast of play- ers, singers and dancers. These per- formances have proved the play is well adapted for outdoor presentation as is “A Midsummer Night's Dream” A| “masque” in the main action adds to the effect Tickets have been placed on sale at nominal prices in the Pranklin Admin- istration Building, T. Arthur Smith's Concert Bureau and the American Au- tomobile Association. VENIZELOS FAVORS BALKAN FEDERATION Papanastasion Advocates Congress, Meeting in Athens, to Or- ganize Union. By the Associated Press. ATHENS, Greece, June 10.—Premier Venizelos, speaking to the Chamber of Deputies today, expressed warm sym- pathy with the idea of a Balkan federa- | tion looking to consolidation of peace | in the Balkan countries. i M. Papanastasiou, leader of the| ‘Democratic Union, advocated a congress which would seek to form a federation. | Such a congress, he argued also, would | facilitate M. Aristide Briand's proposed federation of European states, and he requested the government to permit the body to meet in the Greek Chamber of Deputies. Premier Venizelos heartily congratu- lated M. Papanastasiou on his efforts to | promote the congress, whose aims, he | said, deserved sympathy. One of its| first tasks, he said, should be to create | conditions which would enable the Bal- ! kan peoples to join hands in peace and co-operation.

LONDON, June 10.—Lord Riddell, chairman of the British Newspaper Proprietors’ Assoclation, told delegates THE EVENING From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “The Bachelor Father” Merriest Frolic of the Season. &« HE BACHELOR FATHER" proved to be Walter Gil- bert last night masquerad- ing with the National Players as Sir Basil Win- terton, V. C., K. C. B, K. C. M. C,, in providing withal one of the mer- riest of the players' frolics of the season, regular or extended. This _preco- clous brain child of Edward Childs Carpenter is impudent bit of drollery, having for its thesis the untrite reve- Jation of a father summoning his ers) and, at the ago of 50 or so, seeing _1f they agree with him. As a_matter Walter Gilbert. of fact, Sir Basil did rather well by his wild oats. He had a daugh- ter by & prima donna in Italy, a daughter by an actress in America and almost a son by a charming English lady—almost, because the boy who came to Sir Basil's house in'the capacity of a prospective heir was told by his squeamish mother at the last minute that his real father had been a gallant army officer, who had died on the field of battle. Plucked from the maternal nest by Sir Basil's scouting _solicitor, these three children, all rather bewildered at finding themselves half British, formed a league amongst themselves to see if they approved of their “illegitimate” parent. And in the course of the play, pampered and spoiled by Sir Basil, who was delighted to find that they were far ahead of anybody else’s children, they came to find him & most satis- factory father and one whom they could tease by reminding him of bis Beau Brummel-ish past. ‘Walter Gilbert, advanced in years well beyond his custom by a gray wig and lackadaisical moustachio, was a most engaging Sir Basil, and one who seemed much pleased at having Marion Wells, Marion Sterly and Freddle Sherman for his fledg- ling brood. Miss Wells did the handsomest acting of her season's career, ap- pealingly costumed and mannered as “Tony" Flagg, and Freddle Sherman as her “almost” half-brother con- tributed his now proverbial sterling performance. If Marion Sterly every now and then forgot the twang of her Italian accent, she made up for it by the rendition of such lines as “I have & very good voice, but no passion!” While Romaine Callender appeared now and then in pursuit of Marion Wells, he wasn't around long enough, as was the case with Adelaide Hib- bard and Edith Gresham, who van- ished after two superb minutes as “deceived mothers” in the first act. Bolstered up by a grand idea, this play weakened itself a little toward the end by a note of sentimentality. But it never hung boorishly over its audience, who, in fact, chortled and chortled ‘and guffawed at a subject which they probably had never guf- fawed over in public before.
