bracing at least three novelties-von
Flotow's light opera, Martha" the

NationnII 'HenFy WILL
Sir Henri BeerbOhm Tree.

Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, one of
the greatest English actors and pro-
ducers now before the public, will pre-
sent his revival of Shakespeare's
Henry VIII" at the National Theater
this. week. He will bring his entire
production direct from His Majesty's
Theater, London, and the New Amster-
dam Theater, New York. His COM
pany numbers 1b0 people, and includes
Miss Edith wynne Matthison as
Queen Katharine Playgoers are
earnestly requested TO note that the
night performances will begin at s
o'clock sharp, and the Wednesday and
Saturday matinees at 2 o'clock.
1t has been almost twenty-five years
since Henry VIII" was last seen in
Washington Then It was Sir Henry
Irving and Miss Ellen Terry who ap-
peared in the chief roles of the play.
Though Tree and Irving seem to be
the only latter-day actors who have
played the role OF the crafty Cardinal
woIsey, 1t has been, since its first
presentation, one of the favorite plays
Of the famous actors of bygone days.
The scenic side of Beerbohm Trees
revival is noteworthy, and aside from
it's pictorial beauty, its wealth of
coloring, and its dances and music,
there is historical accuracy in every
thing in the production. Years of
study, close research, with sugges-
tions from prominent authorities,
were spent upon the presentation of
this play, and every device known TO
the modern stage has been called In
30 that as nearly as possible the mir
ror might be held up'to nature and to
the customs of Henry's time, which
was noted for magnificence and
spIendor.
During his long career on the stage,
most OF which has been spent in Lon
don, Sir Herbert has made innumer-
able productions, modern and classic.
His revival OF Henry VIII" is, per-
haps, one of his most notable Shakes
pearean achievements. 1t ran for 264
consecutive performances in London,
the longest run of any Shakespeare
play on any stage. Sydney Green.

and his wife, Anna, by hard work and
many priyations have succeeded in
saving considerable money,
With the money they finance the In
vention of q fellow workingman, and
they all become rich.
Wealth, however, has brought no
happiness to the woman, for her hus-
band, now prominent and influen-
tial steel magnate, has become inter
ested in another woman. The. hus-
band employs an unscrupulous law
yer and detectives to trump up
charges against his wife In order to
obtain q divorce. She refuses to speak
In her own defense until the judge
tells her that refusal to testify Is an
admission of guilt. In order to keep
the child she declares that the hus'
band Is not its father.
The Judge, convinced that she is
trying to save her child, accuses the
husband, his lawyer, and his witness
es of conspiracy and perjury and has
them all indicted.
