BELASCO.
"She stoops to Conquer"

A typically brilliant Washington audi
ence gathered at the Belasco last night
to be charmed by the most entirely en-
joyable revival of old English comedy
that has graced a local stage for many
seasons. Picture one of the best bal
anced casts. and a cast Of exceptional
attainments, individually, and this in
stance, collectively. that has been seen
here this season; a production in every
way worthy, and a furtherance of the
artistic aims of its sponsor, and you
have some conception of She Stoops to
Conquer as presented by Annie Rus
sells Old English Comedy Company.
Miss Russell has realized fully a long
cherished ambition in She Stoops to
Conquer" that of giving the present
generation Of playgoers an opportunity
to see the famous old comedy played as
it should be played, mounted as it should
be mounted, and in so doing has neglect
ed nothing that would go to make the
performance a vocal and a visual de-
light.
And a more charming and altogether
delightful bit Of femininity than Kate
Hardcastle as depicted by Miss Russell
would be hard to conjure. There is a
certain extraordinary appealing quality
about her work that there is no resist
with such pleasing effect that her audi
tors prove willing captives Immediately
they hear the dulcet tones Of that ear
soothing voice.
And there is another performance that
stands out clear cut as a cameo, the
most finished comedy creation brought
to Washington in many weeks. that OF
George Giddens as Tony Lumpkin. Last
season local playgoers had the oppor
tunity Of enjoying Mr.. Giddens' splen-
did performance as Sir Peter AntrObus,
the admiral in "Pomander Walk re-
marking at the time that il would be
n privilege to see him again. This re-
mark was amply justified last night. for
his Tony proved source OF unalloyed
enjoyment from curtain to curtain.
There is that fineness about Mr.. Giddens'
Tony that marks the presentation of an
artistic achievement.
Oswald Yorke contributes an excellent
performance as young NARROW. proving
especially effective in his second and third
act scenes with Kate. and offering an
amusing contrast in his progress with
the latter when laborinG under a delu-
sion as to her identity. A capital char
aCtcrization is to be credited to Fred W.
Permain. whose Hardcastle is a care
fully drawn character study. well eNecut-
ed Murray Kinncll is the Hastings, and
playing opposite him as Constance Neville
is Henrietta Goodwin. whose splendid Per-
formance last evening must have been
source of Gratification to her many
friends in the front Cf the house. Ffol-
lott Page is the Mrs. Hardcastle. and, az
is her custom. offers a finished portrayal.
On Wednesday and Thursday nights The
Rivals will he presented.
