Miss Moore, it is stated, will soon divest herself of the regal accouter- ments of the Du Barry heroine and as soon as she throws these slippers into the basket will wend her way hither. Washington is sald to be the warmest hearted city in the matter of welcoming opera singers. As long as it is certain that we are not to rejoice under the Metropolitan Opera’s sun, we are being given slices and bits of it here and there ahead of time.

Much interest is being shown in this Bank- head play. Al- ready the “house” has keen sold out in Wilmington, where the com- edy will make its bow two days ahead of Washington. The cast in support of Miss Bank- head is part of the reason of all the rejoicing. In it are thesplans who are almost a> well known on the stage and screen as the sometimes brilliant star. There s, for instance, Ian Keith, who did %0 nicely in the Nero roug house, “The Sign of the Cross Ilka Chase, who did some very amusing acting recently on the stage and in the film version of “The Animal Kingdom”: and Cora Witherspoon, who is equally well known. Johnny Green, author of “Body and Soul” and other song hits, who was meant to be in it will not appear—being mixed up with concert matters at Carnegie Hall. But there is Fred Keating, the disappearing birdcage man, who will play his first straight stage role—and plays it very nicely ac- cording to Jean Dalrymple, the at- tractive herald of Arch Selwyn's news about such things.

IN the midst of all the turmoil and bustle and strife of a New York premiere, Messrs.

Mr. Coward wires: “Thank you very kindly. Trousers a sensation.
