John Drinkwater's clean and delightful comedy of English rural life at a wayside inn, which so pleased Washington only re- cently, is announced to return to th;’ Shubert-Belasco Theater for one week, beginning next Monday evening.

It presents the same company of talent- ed players that Washington first saw, the announcement states { Daphne Warren Wilson and Ronald | Dare will be seen as the two young people who precipitate the dilemma around which Mr. Drinkwater has woven his merry tale; Walter Edwin is the stern old inkeeper, Olga Slade, his wife, a_lovable role. John Warbur- ton plays the young blood from Londcn town: the austere, dignified “K. C.” will be played by Frank Petley; Mr. Blan- quet, the gentleman who “travels in gardines,” by Eliot Makeham, and | Arthur Ridley is Sir Robert. Mr. Drinkwater has produced a gem of theatrical entertainment in “Bird in Hand.” It has atmosphere, sincerity and realism; it tugs at the heart strings one minute and sends one off into gales of laughter the next. 3 Thomas Recital This Saturday Evening.

The company takes popular op:ras on tour throughout the Eastern cities and presents them at popular prices, even lower than those of the aver- age musical comedy companies. The ex- periment has proved a great success. It also has had an appeal to musi lovers who demand technique and cor- rect Metropolitan compal “Girls A La Carte Gayety Feature Next Week. *(GIRLS A LA CARTE," next week's attraction at the Gayety Theatw, it is announced, will give an idea as to how modernized notions have influenced burlesque.
