wv ITH Mrs. Harrison Grey
w Fiske and Nine. Gilda
Varesi appearing at the
same time. Washington's dramatic
season may well said TO have ar
rived. That Is the program for
next week, Mrs. Fiske coming to
the National in "Wake Up, Jona-
than" and Nine. Varesi showing
at the Shubert- -Gsrrick in Enter,
Madamc.". Furthermore. over at
Polls will be offered that laugh
producer, Ladies' Night" Thus,
with excellent programs promised
for both B. F. Keith's and the
Shubert- -Belasco. Washingtonians
should not suffer for relaxation.
Mrs. Fishe's play is called .
sbroadly imaginative satire on the
American home. woven OF serious
almost tragic-threads, but handled
In a spirit of high comedy" 1t Is
said to give Mrs. Fiske every oppor-
tunity OF showing her consummate
art.
Enter. Madame" made Gilda Va
resi- overnight. She will probably
continue In Il for the remainder Of
the season. 1t is light comedy CEN
tering about a prima donna.
Ladies' Night In a Turkish
Bath" is the complete title Of tho
foolish success headed for Polls.
We greatly enjoyed 1t at the Eltinge
Theater In New York last spring.
You probably will at Polls.
|ToNIGHT FRANCES WHITE
will be seen at Polls in "Phi
|Phi," a big laugh in Paris. Merely
to look at the list of announced en-
|tertainers is to coax the wise thea
|tergoer into the house. for every
body knows Frances White, Frank
Lalor, Helen Broderick. Robert
woolsey and Maud Odell. phi
Phi" is said to be a thoroughly up
offering and not to be
missed.
sOTHE NIGHT BOAT" was a biz
hit last season and Charles
5Dillingham hopes that Good Morn
ing, Dearie," will be another for him
fhis season. Louise Groody made
many friends on that trip to AL
bany and they will be out to see her
N Good Morning, Dearie," which
pens tomorrow evening at the Ma
fonal. There are 1926 performers In
e cast, almost a record in these
Us of high hotel and railroad
|es.
THE RIGHT TO STRIKE" =
dramatic success in London
st season, Is coming to the Shu-
4 ert -Garrick tomorrow evening.
Practically nothing has been Of
fered in advance as to the subject
OF this play. but the brilliant cast
|provokes one. 1t includes Edmund
Lowe, Harry Mestayer, Gypsy
|o'Brien, Ronald Adair, David Tor
renee, Cynthia Latham. John II.
brewer and Nevin Clark. Inasmuch
as Richard Walton Tully is produc-
ling "The Right to Strike" it may
be taken for granted that its sur
|roundings will be perfect.
UCHICKENS" has become Lilly
Dale" for its presentation in
Baltimore this week. There were
some rather wild queries last week
why Chickens" was ever selected
for it's title.
THE vaudeville situation in Wash
ington is resulting in bigger
and better bills than ever before.
For the real vaudeville fan the pro-
grams for the past three weeks at
Keith's and the Shubert-Belasco
have been most satisfying. With
Harry Carroll and John Steel head
lining Keith's program this week
and Marie Dressler sharing top
honors with Lieut.. Gitz Rice and
Hal Ford at the Shubert-Belasco, 1t
looks like another big week.
| IF you missed Miss Lulu Bett"
last week at the Shubert-Gar-
rick. you have only yourself to
blame. You were warned in time.
Miss Lulu Bett" is about as per-
feet a production as one may see
in several seasons.
HELEN HAYES, the Washington
girl who starred In "Bab,"
opened In New York at the Gaiety
theater last week with great per-
sonal success. THE Wren," accord
ing to the critics, is fragile and thin.
IRENE CASTLE, absent from the
footlights since 1915. has signed
n Keith vaudeville contract and will
