Thomas Dixon's own flmizatIon OF
his novel, "The One Woman" is being
shown at Moore's Strand Theater the
first four days OF this week
'"The One Woman" is high-power
drama, at times frankly melOdramatic,
but never tedious or uninteresting, in
terpreted by a cast OF able actors
whose work individually and In the
ensemble is OF unusual merit. The
strength OF the climacteric scenes is
materially increased by the fact that
the leading figure in the story Is a
young clergyman whose liberal viewJ
and sociaIistic tendencies lead him
a descending course through the di-
vorce courts and almost into oblivion
until his earnest, faithful wife, ignor-
ing his other infatuations, redtems
him from the degradations that
threaten.

WHAT THEATERS
OFFER THIS WEEK

With melodies. any one of which
would serve as the hit" in an. ordi
nary musical show, and lines that
sparkle throughout three hours OF
clever dialogue, "Oh. Boy" the Com
stock-Elliott production of the Boil
on-Wodehouse-K Kern show. began a
regular home week" celebration at
the Shubert-Belasco Theatcr before
a capacity house last night.
Washingtonians-m those who
lived here as regular householderS
before the well-known world conflict
were particularly delighted to well
come Anna Wheaton. who takes the
principal feminine role; Marie Car
roll, the delightful ingenue bride, and
Marguerite MacCambridge and Ralph
OBrien. lesser lights. who served TO
add to the gaiety of the celebration.
Bonton and Wodehouse have raised
the comedy to the Nth power and
Kern has carried out the melodies to
what might be termed the fourth
decimal place OF charm. The usual
Jazzy pep songs with a preponder-
ance of syncopated orchestral brass
are lacking, thanks be, and have
given way to such memory-sticking
tunes as "TiI the Clouds Roll BY"
You Never Knew About Ne" "a
~ AlhS 1Ous anu An OAo y oSA
ioned Wife"
This seasons cast-remembering
the real Washingtonians doing more
than their bits quite up to the
standard which took the vehicle
through SO many months in New
York. The plot, filmy as the blue
pa1amas frequently alluded to dur
ing the two acts and displayed off
and on a most attractive personality,
Is sufficient to hold the attention.
The principal roles fall to Anna
Wheaton. who as Jackie Sampson
playing "Modesty" in Experience"
is one of the cleverest comediennes
OF the current season. Miss Whea-
ton can sing, dance, has a real spon-
taneous personality and carries the
fun along with pleasing grace.
Marie Carroll quite earned the
bursts OF applause which greeted her
efforts. Hal Forde, whose friendly
good-natured efforts as Jim Marvin,
won the audience, possesses an ex-
ceptionally pleasing voice.
Charles Compton, as George Budd,
who finally told the truth without
really explaining how he had two
Quaker iaunts and a bride or two.
carried the plot convincingly.
Stephen Mailey, Jack Raffeal, Au-
gusta Haviland, Edna May Oliver

set on two well-staged acts.
