Mr.. Tellegen first came here as the

stardom last season in The King OF

did, with Nine. Bernhardt, II was a
surprise to even his most ardent ad-
mirers to find him talking English just

teen languages and has played Ham

He wrote Blind Youth" in COLA
boration with Willard Mack, now a

that the New York cast will be held

VAUDEVILLE CIRCUIT
IGNORES WASHINGTON
Ten First-class Theaters Included in
Arrangement.

Theaters controlled by the Shuberts
and Klaw and Erlanger rIay shortly
present vaudeville.
This was learned last week. when
the announcement was made that the
ten-year agreement which the Shu-
berts and Klaw and Erlanger signed
with the Keith interests had expired.
The agreement stated that no vaude-
vile performances were to be given
in the Legitimate" houses
1t is not thought probable. how
ever, should Klaw and Erlanger form
a vaudeville circuit that they will
include Washington in it.
Since the influx OF war workers has
been pouring into the Capital, all local
theaters have been taxed to their ca
pacity, and now that work is being
rushed on Loew's New Palace The
ater. which. on completion will give
Washington its third vaudeville show

the National or Belasco.
