DUMAS MASTERPIECE Is BILL
AT WASHINGTON TONIGHT

The story of "Stolen Sweets NJ.
Pierre Dumas masterpiece which
comes to Washington Theater to-
night, is one of deep heart interest.
and is full Of episodes of powerful
dramatic strength. 1t abounds in
scenes of vivid realism, mixed with
comedy of unconventional and Origi-
nal character. The slang expression
"This is no place for minister's
son." does not apply to the perform
ance of this remarkable play, for it
is a fact that it is not likely to appeal
to people of prudish opinions. The
ones who are hoping to have their al
legged moral ideas shocked may not be
disappointed, but the sane sincere stu
dent of humanity will find nothing
to offend and much to commend.
