The CoIumhIa-.BridEe.y

Since Herbert Kelcey and Efie Shan
non clinched their coparmership in a
joint starring rrangement, with such
admirable plays as "The Moth and the
Flame" and Her Lord and Master" they
have been anxiously on the lookout for
another play This they discovered in
Bridge" a so-called society drama from
the pen of Alicia Ramsey. and which
these CO-stars viii offer at the Columbia
tomorrow night and for the week. While
Bridge" comes TO Washington as a total
stranger, not even having New York
Endorsement, enough has been learned from
the verdict Of one-night stands where it
was presented the past week to expect a
great deal from it as a play, dealing in a
unique and forCible manner with dra-
matte episode in English high school cir
cles. and having for a background bridge
whist, which enters into the development
of the plot very conspicuously.
In preparing the production for this
play, Ernest Shipman, manager for MI
Kelcey and Miss shannon, has not been
unmindful Of the demands for fine stage
settings. and accordingly announces all
that scenic establishment can do toward
picturesque results. Mr.. Shipman has
likewise been thoughtful regarding the
selection Of a cast as will be admitted
from the names included in the large sup
porting company. among them Mrs. Sol
Smith, Edgar L. Davenport Ruth Holt,
Frank Kingdom, Winona shannon, Erie
Blind. Cecilia Radcliffe, Gertrude Wolfe
Ruth Chester. Edward Montgomery.
David Thompson. and others whose act
ing has always found appreciation here.

The NationnI-aPeter Pan"

The NatiOnaI-"Peter Pan"
Two years ago, almost 10 a day. James
Matthew Barrie's Peter Pan or THE
boy who wouldn't grow up" was the
object Of baptisimal rites in this city.
Mr.. Charles Frohman was the sponsor;
q large and very fashionable Washing
ton audience were the witnesses The
ceremony was not without interest but,
10 say the least. the water used was less
than luke warm Critics and auditors
alike felt that they were either being
hocus-pocused. or that Mr. Aristotle was
q little premature in declaring that there
IS nothing new under the sun. Since
that date Peter Pan and Maude
Adams have had q career unprecedented
IN financial and artistic successes with
in the memory and the management of
Charles Frohman. Two years ago, after
its opening in Washington. Peter Pan"
went directly TO the Empire Theater,
New York. and played there the entire
season 10 the largest audiences that have
ever sat within the indednable charm Of
Maude Adams. Last year Miss Adams
and her Peter Pan" company went on
a tour of forty weeks, covering the
large cities from New York to san
Francisco, and ending the tour with a
tTiumphal open-air performance in the
Greek Theater Of the University Of Cal
ifornia.
To be sure, Charles Fra 1an had al
ready staged Peter Pan" ia London. AT
his Duke OF York's Theater, before
Maude Adams undertook her entirely
new and much more American intcTpTe-
tation of the part. But only the merest
gleauings. only detached fragments. of
what the play was like, had come 90
America before the opening nights per
formanCe in Washington, Perhaps it
was only 10 be expected, then, that the
air of the New National Theater on the
opening night should be thick with doubt

MI. Barrie was driving at a myriad
of opinions finally shook themselves
