General Post" the new English COM
edy. which William Courtenay and
Thomas A. Wise are bringing to Wash
ington, while a good-natured thrust at
snobbery, nevertheless reflects the
many social and caste changes wrought

Thomas A. Wise has been one of the
most persistent co-stars of the Ameri-
can stage. He has played many stellar
roles since thirty-four years ago when
he began to build his career. but his
name has been associated oftener with
one or more other players on the pro-
gram. With John Barrymore he ap-
peared few years ago in a comedy
called Uncle Sam Next he was with
Douglas Fairbanks in THE Gentleman
From Mississippi and last season his
stellar associations were Constance
Collier and Isabel Irving in the revival
OF The Merry Wives of Windsor"
when his portrayal of Falstaff was
hailed as the greatest of this genera
ton.
