Current Attractions in the TheaterS
BeIasco-"The Bird of Paradise"

BeIasco-"The Bird of Paradise"
1t is difficult to know where to begin
writing of so delightful a play as THE
Bird OF Paradise which returned to
, the Belasco Theater last evening for a
brief visit, and was warmly welcomed
by many old friends and new. This
beautiful story of a woman's life and
love is one of the most wholesome plays
of recent years. Laughter and tears
! give II the bitter-sweet flavor of life.
So much has been written and sain
OF the drama from coast to coast
! that there is little to add to the chorus
of praise, and the tragic love story OF
the beautiful Hawaiian maid Is so well
known that it seems gratuitous to re-
peat even an outline of the pley,-nor
is there call for comparison between the
| present cast and that of the yesteryear
The truth is that this love tale of a
| little Hawaiian princess does not win
our attention because it is different from
| our own experiences, but because it is
i common to them. Change the Hawaiian
setting. costumes, and a few other trim
mings, to that of Japan, and behold!
| you have another Madame Butterfly
This beautiful tragic story is fitted to
any cline: which is merely to say that
/ the enduring vitality of the play lies
in its true and faithful depletion OF
human character and motive.
Luana, the Hawaiian girl, loves and
marries Paul Wilson, an American; but
from the moment of his devotion to the
primitive little creature, Wilson not only
loses caste, but he loses the force and
distinction which are his by right OF
| birth and race. He finally realizes this
| fact, and then comes the tragedy in his
little brown wife's life;
In contradistinction, Richard Wal
ton Tully has drawn the devil-may-
care. drunken beachcomber, Ten
Thousand Dollar" Dean. who. although
sunk to the lowest depths of degrade =
! tton, yet by keeping his soul pure
| from contamination with the brown
race" is finally saved by the teachings
and love of an American girl, who
brings him out of the depths and re-
stores him to manhood.
Carlotta Monterey, the California
| girl, brings to the role OF Luana a
rich personality, and her portrayal
| is entirely satisfying. She FITS the
part with such nicely that the SYM
pathy of the audience goes out to her
| at once.
Richard Gordon is good as Dean. but
not a bit better than H. l.. Atchley as
Paul Wilson. or Robert Morris as Capt.
Hatch. Robert G. Ryles. Laura Adams,
James Nelson and Roberta Arnold are
all eACeI4eIt' anu the hdIlNe pahd OF
Hawaiian singers and dancers lend an
added charm to the play.
The picturesque settings also add
much to the dramas effectiveness. The
first shows the island of Hawaii, with
the beach in the distance: the second
the interior OF a native grass hut; and
then there is the eruption OF Mt. XII
lauea, and the tragic death of Luana.
We seldom have an opportunity pre-
sented to witness anything so worthy
as The Bird of Paradise" which is
now in its fifth season of uninterrupt-
ed success.

stand" Pat Rooney and Marion Bent
who are listed properly on the program
as the connival favorites, demand and
command the usual laughter and sp-
plause. for Pat is a typical George Conan.
Miss Bent is another OF those attractive
creatures who can wear beautiful frocks
with n dash and at the same time dance
and laugh with sheer abandonment and
leave every one in happy disposition.
We all have our idea OF the meanest
man in the world, but Allan Dinehart
and Mary Louise Dyer have a clever
oddity to offer which changes ones view
entirely. This engaging piece is very
true to life, triteIy speaking. Marian
Weeks is a dainty little coloratura so
pranO whom we have all heard and wish
to hear again, and is also girlish and
fascinating in new gowns, but should dis
cover some new compositions.

The entertainment at Keith's this week
is void of any headline feature but at
the same time there is some interest in
almost every number on the bill.
One of the most unique dancing novel
ties OF the season is the distinctly artistic
presentation OF a pantomlme creation OF
a canary and cat by Adelaide and
Hughes, in which their nimble art is
exhibited to marked degree. Another
dance number is that of Mildred Macom-

PoIr.-"RoIIins stones"

Rolling Stones" a comedy by Edgar
Selwyn and one OF the metropolitan sue
cesses of last season received its premier
presentation in Washington last evening
by the Poll Players. The play possesses
more of the elements OF farce than OF
true comedy and sparkles with a series of
complications calculated to enmesh the
audience in a puzzle OF doubts as to the
ultimate development of the plot until
the final scene. 1t was enthusiastically
received and furnished the very COM
petent cast varied opportunity for ex-
cellent work along somewhat unusual
lines for a stock company presentation.
Rolling Stones" relates the story OF
two children of misfortune Dave Fulton"
(played by A. H. Van Buren,, and Buck
Ryder (played by Ben TaggarO, who

holding UP at the point OF a "44' the

neither was fair game for the other
whereupon Dave attempted to fling him

him from doing so and there was more

Running straight in Chicago is sppar-

Jericho W. Bdaren, heir to the great
Hewitt estate. had possibly been killed
in q railway wreck. False personation of
the supposedly deceased Braden was the
business opportunity and the twain seized
upon 1t avidly. II is true that Buck, the
bolder yet also the more respectable
Yeggman of the pair, had dragged poor
hungry Dave into the scheme, but after
much caJolng and under the lash of
starvation as an alternative, Buck sue

gave a convincing presentation of his
somewhat dual code, while the work
of Mary Alden as Anna Anderson was
more than commendable. Harold Kennedy

Warren that OF his militant spouse.

NutIonaI-"The Birth of "A Nation"

There is no change of bill at the Ma

playhouse. Not in the history of Wash
inGton theatricals has a high class at
traction made such a long stay in the
city. Next week will be the fourth of
the engagement
People who never go to the theatcr are
going to see The Birth of a Nation"
This condition does not occur more than
once in seven or ten years; a dramatic
offering does not make a general appeal
more frequently The Birth of a Nation
Is appealing to the theater-goer and the
person who may go to the theater only
once in a life time. The reason in this
special case that everybody is going to
the Griffith production is because there
is something in it which everybody can
understand; it is elemental. But at the
same time it is human. and it presents
some Of the most tremendous situations
which have ever been offered within the
limitations Of the stage.
