TOMMY ATKINS WILL
DON SCARLET AGAIN

London. April 1.-After six years
of khaki. Tommy Atkins is going
back into scarlef-the scarlet uni
form of his fighting ancestors for
$50 years and more.
Winston Churchill. war minister,
has announced in the house OF COM
mons that the army is to be re-
uniformed for peace in a modified
form of its ancient dress, and the
recruiting department has already
placarded London with alluring
posters showing Guards and High
landers in their once-again brilliant
peace uniforms-for the red coat
has always held the heart OF the
boy who goes for a soldier"
To supply the whole army will be
d matter of three or four years.
The postwar outfit will be some
what less elaborate than that worn
before 1914, and the officers will
less than ever deserve the taunt of
-gilded popinjays," which John
Burns once flung at them. The ex-
pense of gold braid will be spared
them as much as possible. But the
scarlet that was worn on every bat
tIefield from Blenheim to Majuba is
to return

Belasco-Leo GARLIC i'm "Lombardi,

More amusing and more interest
ing than ever, Leo GARLIC returned
! to the Belasco Theater last night in
''Lombardi, Ltd" for a brief visit
and was warmly welcomed by many
old friends and new.
So much has already been writ

markable characterization from
coast to coast of our broad land

stage in the summer of 1917 that

ther, and the Hatton's capitally
amusing story of the internal work
ings of a smart Fifth avenue dress
makers establishment is so we'll
known that 1t seems gratuitous to
repeat even an outline OF the play.
This effervescent comedy is one of
the most attractive plays OF recent
years, thanks to Mr.. Carillo's spon-
taneous portrayal of, the part of
Tito Lombardi, the man milliner,"
virtue rather than in gilded exter-
nails. His artistry lifts the comedy
to a high plane of distinction, and
his personality is just as compelling
as in the yesteryear. - '-'-- %. ---'
Mr.. GARLIC has played the part of
lombard so long now that 1t would
be but human IL there was a "let
down" in his performance, but this
Is not the case; he still gives a
performance marked by the most
delicate shading and the deepest
appeal, witty and convincing por-
trayal that Is remarkable from
many viewpoints. His mobility of
countenance, his perfect dialect, his
mastery Of gesture, are features of
one of the notable stage portraits
OF our day.
Space does not permit of the men,

appear to be in close sympathy with
one another and enter completely

why Change Your Wife?" Cecil
3. DeMille's most recent Paramount
Aircraft superproduction presenting
the woman's side of the marriage
and divorce question. opened its sec
ond consecutive week of showing at
Moore's Garden Theater yesterday.
As a straight narrative of human
events it catches and retains the in
terest as few presentations In pho
todramatic form in Washington
have ever done.
The cast, headed by Thomas Meig-
han. beautiful Gloria Swanson, Bebe
Daniels and Theodore Kosloff, is
one Of the best balanced seen here
this season, all being wonderfully
effective. The story. although based
on the age-old eternal triangle. is
handled differently" and with a
modern touch that is gripping and
forceful.
Praise should be extended to the
person responsible for the sub
titles. They are masterpieces Of
wit and satire and add much to the
super-exoellence and keen enjoy
ment of the finished product which
is one of the best if not the best
two-hour entertainments Washing

as solidly as before. Many mem
bers OF ''The Greenwich Village

of failure of the baggage car to ar
rive, were present and, judging
from tho rear rows of the theater.
it appeared almost a professional
performance"
Ada Mae Weeks whose success in
the role of Miss Mary Dodge has
resulted in her being featured in
the billing, lived up to the many
kind words spoken in her behalf BY
the press agents. Miss Weeks is
perfectly cast in her role and she
seemed to have everyone on her
side, especially when it came to ap-
plause. Her number, waiting For
You," in which she was assisted by
Alan Edawrds,' seemed to be the
musical hit of the piece.
Fred Heider, as William Penn, jr.,
a hotel clerk. and Joe T.. Brown, as
Lester, carried off the comedy

their eccentric dancing. Mr.. Heider
proved a very excellent light Conn
edian, while the droll mannerisms
of Mr.. Brown left no doubt with the
audience of his ability.
While no unusual voices are to be
found among the principals, those
who want singing will find the Four
Entertainers the peer OF the quar-
tets in productions. While they
only worked in three numbers the
audience seemed never to tire of
their singing. Miss Grace Yeager
displayed the best voice among the
feminine members of the company.
The cast as a whole is capable and
the chorus numerous. In addition
to waiting For You," Harold Or
lob supplied several other numbers
to the score that registered. The
book is by Harry l. Cort and George
Z. Stoddard, and the plot-well, as
usual in musical comedies, there is
