JULIA SANDERS0N
At THE NATIONAL
Returns for Weeks Engagement
With Musical "The Sunshine
Girl"

Miss Julia Sanderson opens weeks
engagement at the National Theater
tomorrow evening in the musical
success. "The Sunshine Girl" which
is well remembered here, as Mr..
Frohman gave the first American
presentation of the piece in Washing
ton last season. With but one or two
exceptions, Mr.. Frohman is sending
back the original cast. This will in
clude Joseph Cawthorn, whose ire
sistible fooling as Schlump, the cab
driver. has a lot to do with the popu-
larity of "The Sunshine Girl" The
scenes showing the soap works at
Fort Sunshine, England, and Vernon
Blundelfs private house are elabor-
ate, and with chorus and augmented
orchestra, the entire production more
than comes up to the Frohman stan
dard. Its vogue is already assured
in Washington for the tuneful mel
odies have preceded the play, and are
by this time familiar to cafe and, con-
cert patrons. The story is woven
around dainty little Dora Dale, who
works in the famous Sunshine SOAP
works in England. Needless to say,
Miss Sanderson plays Dora in her own
sweet, dainty fashion. and captivates
not only her stage lover but her en-
tire audience as well. There will be
a special holiday matinee on Thanks
giving Day.
