NationaI-"Year. Of Di.cretion.r

NRtionaI-"Years of Discretion"
David Belasco will provide a week OF
rare dramatic entertainment at the Ma
tional Theater this week in Years of
Discretion" his most recent and one of
his most notable comedy successes.
Through its very long run at the Be-
lasco Theater, New York, last season,
this play achieved countrywide atten-
tion.
Frederic Hatton and Fanny Locke Hat
ton, the authors, have written a charm
ing comedy Of manners, based upon an
undeniable fact-that middle-aged wom-
en-. and often men, make elaborate strug-
giles to appear and act young in fashion
able society, only frequently to find that
they cannot keep up the pace" and that
the fire and passions of youth will re-
spOnd merely for the moment. With this
basis. the authors have developed a most
unusual stage story in a logical and dra-
matte manner.
Years of Discretion was produced by
Mr.. Belasco with the greatest care as TO
pictorial effects and cast, and has pro-
vided a thoroughly balanced cast, in
Guiding Fife Shannon. Alice Putnam,
Herbert Kelley. John Flood. Louis Mas
sen, Robert McWade, jr., Z. NJ. Holland,
Grant Mitchell. and Camilla DaIberg.
The settings of the three acts of the
play will reveal the same perfection and
1aithfulness TO detail that have distin-
guished all of the productions that Mr.
Belasco has sent TO Washington.

Two Musical Comedy Manners Attractions Leading Theaters
CURRENT WEEK Offerings in REVIEW
Should Be Satisfying to Folk Who Are Sickened by Crook
Plays, and Who Believe 1t Is Not the Mission
of the Stage to Sermonize

I co Theater, both the skill with which il
is written, and the skill with which II is
played, received instant recognition and
applause.
Years of Discretion is a comedy of
manners, having to do with those un-
certain years when men and women begin
to realize that they are growing old and
rebel against the fact.
While hardly satirical, nor again cor
rective of manners, the play yet fiicks
them with grin, to the vast amusement
and entertainment of the onlooker.
To the unusualness of its theme. the
brilliance of the acting of an exception
ally fine cast of players, add the executive
imagination, rare sense of design, proper
ton and fusion, tireless pains and pa
tience, and the highest standards of final
accomplishment, as exemplified by David
Belasco, and we have a complete sum-
mary of what we may expect of his pro-
duction of Years of Discretion" at the

another. which is. with but one exception.

American premiere at the New National

ing Tetrazzini and Bernhard and quite

ceeds her.

Clyde Fitch's comedy, Barbara

Theater next week. This famous love
story of civil war days in Maryland has
never been presented in stock in Wash

our neighboring cities of Frederick and
Hagerstown fifty years ago. and its ap-
pealing story is peculiarly interesting to
Washington theatergoers. Miss Jewel

Marlowe. and Mr.. McAIlister will be seen

of whom Barbara defied an army, and
