THE CAST

Il is quite impossible to tell the
story OF Three Faces East" without
spelling the entertainment Of the
theatergoer yet to witness il. Suf-
fce Il then to say that no stage eX-
hibition has ever offered more mys-
tery, more mental Upsets for an au-
dience, than this play Of the German
secret service opposing the British
secret service.
At least three performers stand out
in this presentation. Maurice Free
man, as Valdar, the butler, carries
upon his capable shoulders a heavy
task, but he never even tOtters. AS
an alleged Belgian refugee, he gains
the sympathy Of the audience in the
beginning. Then in turn he becomes
Captain Schiller, OF the German secret
service, and later a British secret SER
vice operative working under Yeats.
How he ends must be seen to the ap-
preciated. II is speaking mildly to
call his end startling.
Violet HeminE, greatly honored in
WiIhelmstFasse for her spying abili-
ties, is convincing. She is sweetness
and loveliness personified, yet she can
face a loaded revolver and defy its
possessor. She can hold a night light
without q shiver as London is being
raided by a German air squadron.
That air raid scene is most realistic

"ParlOr, Bedroom. and Bath" the
more or less naughty farce, by c.
". Bell and Mark Swan, proves just
as laugh-compelling on its second
visit TO Washington as IL did last sea-
son, to judge from the unbridled
cachinnations OF a large house last
night With a cast quite different
from that which presented the bou-
doir comedy here last season. the
play nevertheless proves as great, if
not a greater success than before.
Some there be who deem undreased
comedy, set in bedrooms, and revolV-
ing around circumstances that are
considered naughty, at the end OF lts
string. And these some decant at
length and opine that the day Of this
type OF farce Is at an end. But the
producers go merFily on, staging
paiama-and-ne -negligee plays one after
another, and behold, there come Nast
audiences and laugh themselves nigh
into Mysteries. And the box ONCE
giOats yet and anon.
But why sOliloquize when we start
ed out to tell you about "Parlor,
Bedroom and Bath2" The story Of
this piece IS along the conventional
lines OF unconventional situations.
There Is a very good young man
who Is in wedlOck bound TO q dam
sci who considers him q gay heart
breaker. She revels in the belief
that his past was one lurid success
sion of indecencies, etcetera ad in
finitum- And hubby is quite the op-
posite, yet there arises q time when
to retain his wife's love, he deems
Il necessary to try to do what she
thinks he would.
So there Is secured a femme who
Is to be caught in a parlor-bedroom-
bath hotel suite with hubby, thereby
pleasing friend wife. It's rather
hard to conceive that such q discov-
cry would make a wife love her
husband more, but, Of course, one
must remember that this IS farce.
/ But "the best laid plans oft gang
astray," and when hubble finds HIM
self mixed up with a whole battalion
/ OF unclad females in his hotel suite
| he finds he has bargained for more
/ than he can well handle. And when
wife Is piloted into the scene by an
! ever-solicitous friend, there are var
/ led kinds OF the deuce to pay.
| But the deuce Is duly paid, and, Of
/ course, this being a very properly I'm
/ proper farce, all ends happily with
/ everything explained, forgiven, but
hardly forgotten.
! On, there's no doubt but what you'll
like it-and laugh yourself thoroughly
/ sore about It. The cast is one that
/ measures up to the requirements OF
a rapid-fire comedy in brilliant style
| with hardly any one actor deserving
| a greater need Of praise than another
! They even rose last night above tho
| handicaps occasiOned by the non
arrival OF some scenery and costumes
in time for the opening production
| and yet gave such a splendid presen.
/ tation OF the farce under unusual diff
/ hculties that but few sophisticated
] ones in the audience were aware that
| anything was amiss.

Rachel Crothers has seen the funny
side OF a trip in q Pullman car. 50
she wrote a play around It And es
a result II you've never let yourseh
be amused by your fellow traNeleIS
on a railroad journey, you can 90 20
the Belasco this week and see what
you've missed. The first. and second
acts present the interior Of q Pull
man sleeper Frisco-bOund, the COM
partments occupied by types as IN
teresting as they are skillfully drawn
There's the Ruburn-topped lady
from New York, excruciatingly funny
in her ultra-sOphisticatiOn and yet
suddenly human in the face Of events
that terminate the journey before
time. There are two young college
lads, awkward, yet lovable. There's
the sweet young girl thing, travelling
with her deaf grandma; there Is the
self-centered plutOcrat who travels in
the drawing room; there is a mother
An unmarried mother; and there are
Jim West, the big-hearted Westerner,
and Julie Rutherford, the girl who
finds real life after having been
hedged about and bound by conVen-
tion and traditions.
The story-oh, there's little enuogh
OF it. It tells Of the girls realiza-
tion OF love and life, under the tute-
lage Of the Westerner, and the shock
Of the wreck which piles up the train
in the Wilds OF Montana. It Is not
the story which gives the play its
charm-it is rather the manner Of
its telling.
Much Of the three acts are given
over not to the principal theme, but
to the conversations and the actions
OF the group Of travellers IN the Pull
man. The laughter occaeioned by the
I selfish demands Of the drawing-roOm
occupant and the unconsciously funny
behavior Of the important madam
from New York gives way now and
then 20 q tear for the sad little
mother, and q smile for the little
old grandmother's CHEEKY optimism
Oh. there's plenty to entertain, and
the certainty IS that those who see
"a Little Journey" viii Inot regret Il.
During the hrst two acts there Is
the verbal battle between Jim West
and Julie Rutherford-the man falls
in love with the girl and tries to
convert her to his ideals. But II
takes the final shock OF. the wreck
TO bring about the change in the
girls ideals-and, OF course, all ends
happily.
The cast is led by Philip Wood in
the role Of Jim West, and by Bea-
trice Warren, as the girl Mr.. Wood
takes the place OF Cyril Keightley
| originally billed to play the part, and
does IL in a way that leaves no re-
/ gret that Mr.. Keightley was not
I there. Mr.. Woods intelligent pre-
Bentation Of a role that might easlly
have been oVerplayed was one Of the
delights Of the evening.
/ But chief honors must go to Ethe
Martin. as Mrs. WeIch, the lady from
New York. A role that is exactinE
/ in it's demands is played with cOnsum
mate skill by Miss Martin, and heI
! change from the imperiOUs selfish
ness Of the first two acts 70 tn,
! tenderness Of her attitude toward th'
misjUdged girl after the wreck is 1
I bit OF stage work that deserves par
/ ticular Commendation.
The remainder OF the roles requirt
! character acting OF a higher type
/ and to the great credit OF the cas-
\ IL must be said that few faults cOulC
/ be found with the presentation.

GARDEN.

without doubt David Wark Grif-
nth, master OF picture making, has
surpassed his former efforts in the
gorgeous spectacle he has brought
forth in The Fau OF Babylon" the
first OF q series OF his wonder works,
due for showing at Moore's Garden
Theater, which opened yesterday for
q weeks engagement.
As just one instance OF the brilliant
array OF thrilling scenes there Is the
army Of Cyrus, the Persian, advanc-
ing TO destroy the city OF Babylon,
whose walls reach three hundred feet
high, the horsemen who thrilled the
spectator in The Birth OF a Nation"
could be swallowed up and lost TO
sight in this cavalry OF Cyrus. This
march alone, which is but one OF the
tremendous scenes OF the play, re-
minds one OF the never ending waves
Of the sea. Then one sees the attack
on the walls. where it ig stated no
less. than forty thousand warriors
push their mighty siege towers
against the massive barbados. Men
Erapple and fan, swords and spears
fash, batteFiug rams hammer the
gates, hugh catapults hurl great
rocks through the air, giant cross
bows discharge arrows. The realism
Of the conflict IS truly astounding.
Startling and prodiEiOus as the
battle scenes are, they constitute but
a small part Of the colossal theme
and massive grandeur Of the spec
tacIe. The stage settings have never
been eQualled in size and magnifi-
cence. The Palace Of BelshasBar and
the temple Of Del are ancient world
splendors brought TO our twentieth
century eyes, accurately and artis-
tically reproduced
The Garden Orchestra under the d.
