the first time in this city by Laurette
Taylor at the New National Theater
last night Aristotle's name is omitted
on the program but his warning Of the
danger of overgoodness provides the
moral of the play which the author in

him the beautifully foolish fallacy that

plies it to a woman who doesn't at all
fit in with his mothers teachings. and
the play concerns that mothers effort
and final success to save her son from
his ignorance-and her own.
1t is a success, however, which must
be credited almost entirely to the bad
woman. whose frank confession of
wickedness sends the boy back to his
mothers arms.
Miss Taylor's girlishness is dominat-

guished motherhood, but it is difficult

Those in the capacity audience at the

ness the Winter Gardens big success,
Robinson Crusoe, Jr., carried look
of joyful expectancy on their faces,
which remained from the initial rise to
the final fall of the curtain. All the
praise that has come from little old
New York" was verified. There is not
a dull moment in the show. something
happening continuously to please every
body.
AL Jolson is the big eighteen-inch
gun of the aggregation, his efforts to
please standing out so prominently as
TO overShadow all the others. He is a
comedian never at loss for words or
actions. and his frequent injection of
sayings not in the 1ibretto compelled
the company as well as the audience to
laugh. Jolson is a Washingtonian. and
a host of friends was present last even
ing to assure him successful recep
tion. AS result the clever comedian
simply outdid himself, and it is doubt
full If New York ever has seen Jolson
as good as he was during last nights

comedian, Jo1son possesses an excep-
tionally fine voice for his style of
songs, and at the end of each number

out among the supporting principals.
Mabel withee is another who deserves
praise for talents, coupled with good
looks. Among the man principals Frank
Carter and Barry Lupino stood to the
fore, the former as singer and the latter
as an exceptionally clever eccentric
dancer.
What story there is to Robinson Cru

Westbury has become tired of the exact

an island like Robinson Crusoe with no
one to aotter him. After partaking of
welsh rabbit he falls asleep and dreams
Of Crusoe, pirates, cannibals and desert
islands as told in the little picture book
on his lap. the company performing the
dream. This gave the scenic artists a
chance to employ spectacular effects
which ended only when Westbury was
aroused from his nap.
One scene depicting the deck Of a pi-
rate ship was a remarkable effort, the
coioring and costumes being proyerbially
correct and carried out in detail through
the help of the large company. The other
scenes were beautifully put on, riot Of
color and pleasing to the eye, especially
