"The Affair. Of AnatoL'

The predictions Of overwhelming
popularity for Cecil Il. DeMhie's
great all-star production. The
Affairs OF Anatol," made by the
management of Loew's Columbia
Theater prior to the premiere of
the production at that playhouse
last Sunday afternoon. appear TO
have been more than borne out by
the fact that the same production.
originally scheduled for weeks
showing yesterday began the sec
ond week Of an engagement which
has been clearly prolonged
through it's brilliant and unusual
appeal to photoplay lovers of
Washington. There was certainly
no diminution in the intense de-
mand for seats when the produc-
tion opened at Loew'E Columbia
yesterday afternoon. where II will
continue as the featured attraction
throughout the current week.
"TheoAffairs Of Anatol- Is based
on a scenario by Jeanie MacPher-
son, whose work. In turn, is based
on the original SchnitZler manu-
script and on the Granville Barker
paraphrase there. The cast that
has been personally selected by Mr..
DeMille TO portray the story is
easily the greatest alI-stsr cart
ever gathered together, including
as IL does, Wallace Reid, Gloria
Swanson, Elliott Dexter, Bebe
Daniels. Monte Blue. Wanda Haw-
ley. Theodore Roberts. Agne.
Ayres. Theodore Koslo1, Polly
Moran. Raymond Hatton, julia
Faye and many others.
Mr.. DeMille has followed the
Schnitzler story with reasonable
fidelity. The picture reveaIs three
episodes in the life Of AnatoI, a
rich young idler who. tired OF toe
much honey on his honeymoon
turns aside into indiscretions with
three other women. all Of whom dc
not scruple to play upon his
credulity to the end that he IA
separated in each case from q

GAYETY.
.sam Howe's New Show

Sam Howe has evidently studied
\ the desires of burlesque patrons
when II comes to staging a produc-
tion. for In his New SHOW" which
| opened a weeks engagement at the
Gayety yesterday, he includes every
thing that follower of the popular
aI.I1senIent wishes TO see-from
| girls, flash costumes and snappy
\ music to comedians extraordinary
! ard practically all new comedy sit
I uatlons.
Mr.. Howe, or whoever is respon-
sible for the show, certainly used
| good judgment when they signed
Cliff Brsgdon as chief comic and
Harry Left as Bragdon's able as
sistant. Bragdon, with his peculiar
makeup, his comical gigele and
ability to take falls--and plenty of
them-without injury to himself,
proved to be the hit of the show.
| Bragdon's work does not become
tiresome and he kept his auditors
in laughter during his entire ap-
pearance on the stage.
Harry Left is a spry little Hebrew
| comedian, full of pep and always
| succeeds in getting the most pos
sibIe out of, his lines. Harold +.
Clark and Frank Maliahan are the
two Remaining male principals and
they. tco, assisted Bragdon in work
ing up the several comedy situa-
tons.
Helen TAR, the stately prima
dona, Is back again. and her work
found favor. Norma Berry aside
from taking part in the dialogue,
sang several song numbers that
brought her back Tor repeated en-
cores. Loretta Ahearn is the dash
mig soubrette and her work brought
favorable comment
The action Of the production IL
fast and not once does the dialogue
become tiresome. The chorus TWEEN
ty in number, nimbly danced their
rumbers and never showed signs of
fatigue at any time.
All-in-all, the Howe show is
worthy Of attention and the two
hours 1t takes to vie wit are well
spent. H. K.
