The NezV ReUOH

A theatrical production which
enlists not only the best technical
skill Of fifteen of Americas leading
producers, but has, as well, the
support of large group of college
presidents, actors and authors, will
be shown to Washington for first
time the week of April Is. when
AS You Like IT. is. presented at
Polls. Quite fittingly the men
back of this new organization
have chosen Washington as the
logical place to inaugurate their
movement. Augustus Thomas,
executive chairman of the Produc-
ing Managers Association, IS the
prime leader in this new venture.
What it will accomplish he does
not wish to predict, but he has
every hope that it will lead the
way to a"better adjustment of the
present theatrical conditions, that
is. take out of one or two centers
the grip they have on the best
in the theater and disseminate
this to the country at" large. M.
Thomas below outlines his views
on the new American National
Theater.
This National .Theater idea is
the. outgrowth of wish and a
plan by the American Academy
of Arts and Letters to do some
thing toward standardizing the
diction of America. 1t was
thought by the committee appoint
ed to consider the question that
the most direct method of affect.
ing the national diction would be
through local theater COMPANIES
in the various sections if these
companies could be induced to
agree and to coordinate their Of
forts at certain times.
To this date it is planned to
have these representative local
companies produce some play each
season which is current in New
York and which will be selected
for the opportunity it will give,
in the exercise of good English.

full Play Crowds Out the
"Demi- Virgin

Next Sunday night at the Shu-
bert Belasco Theater George Mar
shall will present the long-awaited
new play, East Of Suez," by
w. Somerset Vaughan, with
Hazel Dawn in the stellar role.
The appearance of a new play
by this famous dramatist is al
ways one of the events of the
theatrical season. AS the author
of 1.-THE Circle" TOO, Many Hus-
bands" Our Betters," Rain"
which is now a hit in New York,
and such novels as THE Moon
and Sixpence, and Human Bond
age" Mr.. Vaughan holds a posi-
ton in English letters compar-
able to that of Shaw or Pinero.
Mr.. Vaughan went to China
to write East of Snez'' for
AL H. Woods. The latter wanted
a popular melodrama and Mr..
Vaughan decided to write it
against the glamorous and fas.
cinating background of the Orient.
In EAST Of Suez" he has written
a stirring, poignant, absorbingly
interesting melodramatic pageant
of the East.
The play takes an added in
terest from the appearance of
Hazel Dawn in the leading role.
She will be supported by Fred
Raymond, jr.; Henry Daniel,
Jennie Eustace, Clarke Silvernail.
Gerald Oliver Smith, Helen Flint
and Mildred LIE Cue.

Decided Winner With
Playgoers.

On the strength of the popu.
larity exhibited by "Six.Cylinder
Love-" the comedy at the Presi-
dent, during the early. part of
it's second consecutive week, the
President Players announce that
this hilarious bit of American life
and manners, that fascinated
Broadway for 81 solid weeks at
the Sam H. Harris Theater, New
York, will be offered for a third
week beginning Sunday night.
"Six-Cylinder Love" has en-
deared itself to the President
clientele in a manner that no
play has done since "Abie's Irish
Rose" shattered all theatrical rec
ords during the past winter by
rolling up an engagement of
twelve consecutive weeks at. that
theater. Wanda Lyon and George
Barnes have been entrusted with
the leading roles.
The play is a rollicking and
romantic satiric comedy, based
upon that most popular OF Ameri-
can domestic sports-attempting
to own a motor-car on a street
car income.

GARRICK-

Getting Gertie's Garter" which
ran three weeks last summer to
absolute capacity and which was
revived Monday night at the
Shubert Garrick Theater, has been
so warmly welcomed by theater-
goers this week the management
finds it necessary to add a second
week to the engagement. 1t is
a coincidence that MIR. Hopwood's
"The Demi-Virgin, is ending Sat
urday night at the Shubert
Belasco, solid five weeks run
and that Getting Gertie's Garter"
at the Garrick,' taking into con-
sideration the three weeks run
last spring, is beginning Sunday
night what amounts to the,
fifth week in the National
Capitol. Notwithstanding the fact
the play is being given at popular
prices, the producer has provided
costly settings, an expensive cast
and a Jazz Orchestra.

The Washington times., 1923-04-12

The stage managers of the loc.l
companies will be expected to visit
New York, where the chosen play
is running, and then go back to
their little companies and en-
deavor to reproduce the speech
that they have heard. It is
thought, and very logically, that
successive annual attempts of this
kind would ultimately make. an
impression upon these remote
localities. These local companies
are to be chosen by some nearby
university enthusiastically interested
in the plan.
"Concurrently with this attempt
at diction, the directors of the
American National Theater. pro-
pose to assemble as good a COM
pany as possible and present
classical drama. Unlike the com
mercial efforts in that direction
this company would not be ex-
pected to locate. in some Eastern
city and stay there as long as il
was welcome, but would. on the
contrary, after it received recog-
milton, be sent on tour, playing
in the larger centers throughout
the United States, and thus give
people in the various sections
chance to. see what was thought
to be good acting.
