The Washington times., 1921-10-30

pleteness, but all lovers OF Eisie
Janis know that there will be mu-
sic and dancing and jokes-well, a
lot of Elsie Janis.
Anyway. Elsie is producer, mana
ger, playwright, comedian, dancer
singer and impersonator OF the show.
She will have with her Charlie Law
renee, the Suffering souse" OF the
first gang; the beautiful singer,
Jurien Thayer; Bill Reardon, some
dancer; Bradley Knoche and Frank
Miller. 1t promises TO be a pleasant
week for all concerned.
Spanish Love-" which saw Its
birth on the American stage at the
Belasco right in this city, comes
back to Polls and our word OF
advice Is to see 1t, IL you missed
your first opportunity. No play
Just like this one is on the American
stage today, nor is there any pro-
duced just as this one is produced.
1t is well worth seeing.
Whenever Rachel Crothers offers
a new play, wise ones hasten to pur-
chase tickets for 1t. They recall "39
East" Mice People" and a few
other successes. Everyday" COM
ing to the Shubert. .Garrick next
week, is the latest Rachel Crothers
play. This is your warning.
SCREEN lovers should be in their
glory here this week. At the
National will be Billie Burke. who
has left the motion picture world to
return to the spoken stage. over
at the Shubert- -Belasco Will Rogers
will twirl his rope and tell funny
stories. Conway Tearle, hero Of
many a silent drama, will appear in
person at the Shubert- -Garrick. What
a merry time folks will have this
week.
Billie Burke is coming back with
a comedy especially written for her
by Booth Harrington. No, not much
is known about it, but the mere fact
that Booth Harrington is the author
means more than a little.
Will Rogers will come back with
his old Folles act, a little rope
singing, some jokes, a little more
roping and some more jokes. He
should pack 'em in at the Belasco
all week.
Conway Tearle appears in a
drama, "The Mad Dog" 1t is a
new play from the pen of George
Scarborough.
FOLLOWING Elsie Janis at the
National comes the revival OF
1.-THE Merry Widow" This old-time
favorite, replete with wonderful mu-
sic, brilliant costumes and equally
wonderful and brilliant femininity,
has scored a success in the me-
tropolis and is headed for many tri-
umphs on tour.
SCOTTISH ballads will become
more popular than ever this
week. Sir Harry Lauder will be
singing them in his own inimitable
manner all week at Polls. BY the
way, Harry Lauder made his debut
singing an Irish song, "Calligan,"
the point of the song being a play
on the name which sounded like
''call again"
Appearing in London for the first
time in four years, spent largely in
his tour of the world, Lauder was
summoned before the King and
knighted for his work in collecting
fund for wounded soldiers and
sailors in Scotland. So now he's Sir
Harry Lauder and a Draw Scots LAD
he is.
TT is estimated that a million dol
lars has already been lost since
July on shows, and efforts are being
made to lower admission prices all
along the lines.
A LICE Lloyd, the English &C.
"A tress, has been corraled by the
cult. She will open in New York
in December, collecting s1,25O a

has signed with the Loew vaude-
willie circuit at $1,000 a week. He
will appear for thirty weeks, open.
ing in Chicago.
NINE. TETRAzzINI, the 'prima
donna, is considering an offer
to appear In Keith vaudeville.
WHEN George Whites Scandals
of 1920 reached Detroit the
censor climbed all over 1t, which
probably means larger houses where
ever II goes.
