COCHRAN'S National Theater Players will open the new reason of Sum- mer stock, with proper eclat, at the National Theater Mon- M day evening, whiie at the Shubert- | Belasco a new play, “Another Lan- guage,” by Rose Franken, is announced, with an exceptional cast, which will have its first performance Monday evening, prior to its New York premiere. In the film drama field the attractions are all new offerings, save “The Wet Parade.” at Loew’s Columbia, due to an unusually successful Eastern premiere, is announced for another week. National Players Open Season in “A Church Mouse.” NE of William A. Brady's successful offerings of the regular season, “A Church Mouse,” described in the notices #s a charming comedy “of a butiersly who emerges from & caterpillar,” by Fred and Fanny Hatton, and. inci- dentally, one of those pleasant little plays that Washington has not yet seen—at Jeast in a local theater—will serve to introduce Man- ager Steve Coch- ran’'s National Theater Players in thefr eighth con- secutive season at the National The- Ater tomorrow evening. Directed by Clifford Brooke and with one of those unique pro- ductions for which the players have beeh noted throughout their existence, it should serve aamirably to present the 1932 aggregation in their most favor- able light. It seems almost unneces- sary to add that the company this year will be headed by Leona Powers and Donald Woods—and all Washington knows who the others are. Donald Woods. “Another “azzus: Shavert-Belasco, Monday. NEW comedy drama, by Rose Franken, on its way to a New York premiere, titled “Another Language” and presented by an exceptional cast headed by Glenn Anders and Margaret Wycherly, will make its bow at the Shubert-Belasco Theater Monday eve- ning. It is an Arthur J. Bechard pro- duction, which was first tried out in Greenwich, Conn., last Summer, and it concerns everyday people and the mis- understandings which sometimes arise to keep them apart. Mr. Enders and Miss Wycherly come with the royal brand of the New York Theater Guild, and the supporting company may be depended upon to adequately meet all | Tequirements.
