by Augustus Thomas. one of the greatest
successes of the New York season three
years ago. Miss Dorothy Hammond. who
will have the role of Mabel .Ainslee. was
also in the original cast. The company
will be reinforced by the addition of sew
eral new members for this week only.
among them being Miss Jane Cowl, a
beautiful brunette and protege of David
Belasco. who will be seen in the role of
Mrs. Lefffngwell. whose boots cause all
the trouble. Miss Nira Stowe will appear
as Mrs. Bonner. while Alice Butler and
George CASTOR will have amusing roles as
two comedy servants. Frank Craven will
have the greatest chance of his Wash
ington season when he appears as Dick
AinSlee. the boy whose temporary aberra-
ton of mind leads him to throw unjust
suspicion upon Mrs. Leffingwelrs char
acter.
The story of Mrs. Leffingwell's Boots"
centers around party who are caught in
a blizzard at the home of Mrs. Bonner at
Larchmont. Mrs. Leff1ngwell is supposed
to have had affair with Walter Corbin
tplayed by Mr.. Standing). and after her
marriage a pair of her boots are found
under compromising circumstances in Mr.
Corbins room. and her jealous husband
raises a terrific disturbance. until later
developments show that the whole affair
was planned by Dick Ainslee. the half
crazy brother of Mabel Ainslee, with
whom Walter Corbin is In love. The COM
edy interest centers around the entry of
butler, who is hired temporarily to
serve at the dinner party and Is COM
PEELED to remain over night because of the
blizzard.
Mrs. Leffingwells Boots is considered
the most amusing of all the farces writ
ten by Augustus Thomas. and its unusual
success when originally presented is well
remembered. 1t will be an attractive
finale to Mr. Standings splendid season
in Washington. There will be matinees
Thursday and Saturday.

"Candida" Bernard Shaw's most bril-.
liant comedy. and the one which first
served TO attract international notice to
him as a playwright. will be the offer
ing at the Belasco tomorrow night with
Miss Charlotte Walker in the title role.
1t is 10 small task Miss Walker has I'M
dertaken. but in staging the play she
has had the invaluable assistance OF
Winchell Smith. who made the original
production with Arnold DAILY five years
ago. Mr.. Smith spent last week in Wash
ington. carefully rehearsing the play and
putting in all the original business which
contributed so much to the great success
of the play. "Candida' ran 500 times in
New York when Arnold DAILY appeared
as the poet. and Dorothy Donnelly was
seen in the role of Candida. In Miss
Walkers production. the role of the poet,
Eugene Marchbanks, will be in the ca
pable hands of Edx ard Ellis. we'll remem-
bered for his work with Miss Walker last
season. This will be his nrst appearance
with her company. The cast will also
include Miss Frances keenan,, as Prossy.

Burgess; Ralph kellard. as Lexy and

ment. overlooking with sheer fun. has not
yet been discovered. and there is little
doubt that "Candida will be a comedy
classic for many years to come.
The figure of the poet. Marchbanks. is
one of the most amusing ever drawn by
dramatist, and the story of the boys
infatuaton for Candida is strikingly
novel. "Candida' not only appeals TO
the public at large. because of it's anus
ing comedy and lauglrable situations. but
thinkers and readers appreciate the fact
that underlying the fun is deep vein
of serious philosophy, in which Bernard
Shaw exploits himself and his remarkable
views of life and humanity in wonder
fully brilliant manner.
Miss Walkers appearance in lambda"
at the Belasco is made possible only
through the fact that David Belasco HIM
self personally selected this play as one
of the offerings of her repertoire. and 1t
is understood that he will come to Wash
ington during the week in order TO see
his future star in this difficult and stir
