Alice Lawlor, Betty Burroughs and
Josephine Les Cells, and they sing
and dance their way into high favor.
For those who enjoy a good laugh.
there is another trio composed of
Harry Shannon, Artie Leeming and
Harry Evanson, who might get a
laugh out Of an undertaken.
The show has not a duh moment;
in fact, some of 1t moves too fast,
for there are several numbers that
could and should be given more time.
There are 26 scenic changes and an
intermission crowded into a short
two hours and a half. Alice Lawlor
has number of new songs, the kind
that appeal to a burlesque audience.
and she sings them WELL Betty Bur-
roughs is a poppy blond soubrette
with lots OF personality. These two
have a speciality that is far too short.
Last nights audience clearly mani
tested that 1T would have liked to
have more. While Josephine Les
Cells has not much to do. she GER
tainly adds to the beauty Of the show.
Shannon and Leeming, the long and
short comedians, are good, both as a
team and as individuals. Harry Evan
son, who deserves a large share of the
credit for the success of the produc-
ton, has an original style and is a
sure-fire laugh inciter. Walter Pear
son Is good as straight" and also
in a number of character impersona
tions. Peggy Ray. who Is given a
couple of songs on the bill, Is likely
to be heard from later The Les
Cells brothers have an entertaining
acrobatic performance entitled How
to Handle Little Things" There is
large chorus and some very pretty
scenery in this show.

Hereby than ever. The other not only
lays out his lady with a straight
to the jaw, but Keeps up the
punishment until she cres enough"
and the curtain descends upon the
pair in a regular first-love clinch.
There were moments in the last act
when hope was given that the play
wright, though using the tr1te tri-
angle, would shed some light upon
the perplexing problem of married
ennu1 and consequent wandering of
directions. This was especially the
case when the wife, finally re-won,
frankly confesses she does not want
10 go with the other man and does
not know why she does 1t, realizing
that probably in time she will be as
bored by him as by her present hus-
and. The playwright either lost
courage in following through this
clue or was determined to Justify a.
thesis with which he began; hence the
wallop to the chin.
The cast is limited to six persons,
the setting to one scene and the ac-
ton to one evening. The two mar
ried men. played by Minor Watson
and James Dale, and the two married
women, played by Ann Andrews and
FRANCES carson, frequently had pas
sages of intense literalness to life
well acted. The predatory male, play
ed by George Gaul was not so con-
sistently smooth. An especially awk-
ward entry in the second act made
the audience do the fatal thing of
laughing at, rather than with the
player, but this entry was the play
wrights work. Bruce Scott was eff
fectiVe in an incidental piece of work
as the butler. AS a hystericaI wife.

Mutual-'Smiles and Kisses

The attraction at the Mutual this
week carries no less than six indi-
vidual and collective headliners that
are supplemented by an excellent
chorus. 1t is clean, sparkling and
never drags-and far above the stan
dard established by previous shows
at this house.
Featured in the cast is George
Leon, the principal comedian. assisted
by Ed Lorray. This team never fails
of its purpose, showing best in "A
Sanatarium for the Nerves." in which
everything but a salvo of guns from
the combined navies of the world
greets the patient, for whom absolute
quiet Is prescribed.
Pressing the comedian team for top
honors is Jessie Gay, a demure miss
with foreign accent, who radiates re-
finement in her every move. In addi-
ton she has a really good voice. Then
there are the Four Clifton Sisters, in
acrobatic and rhythmic dancing, and
a'young woman whose name does not
appear In the program, but who gives
dancing. The Henley sisters. Rose
and Tiney, appear in songs and dances,
being especially adept at the latter,
while Hubert Mcdonald. leading man,
does everything we'll in the way of
songs, dances and limitations.
The settings are we'll conceived, the
chorus excellently gowned and drilled
The houses slogan, Bring theLadies,"
can be literally construed this week

ADJUSTMENTS
National-"Th Swan

THE Swan" comedy in three acts
by Ferenc Molnar, produced by
Charles Frohman, opened at the Ma
tional last night after long and
successful run in New York. You
must see it.
Sparkling with wit clean and
wholesome, a plot as sweet as it's ex-
Quisitely and thinly yelled satire, and
a cast admirably chosen to interpret
the hand of a master playwright,
THE Swan" is like a draught of cool
water to a tired and dusty traveller.
The old Potomac has sent millions of
gallons under Highway Bridge since
anything like it has been seen in
Washington, and it will continue to
flow for many years to come, prob
ably. before anything like it will come
to Washington again. They call it
comedy, but through it runs tragedy,
so delicate and yet appealing and a
sentiment SO richly suggestive that
it strikes deep and carves itself a
niche OF it's own in the memory.
1t required the work Of an artist
like Molnar to write the play. but it's
skillful painting on the stage was
left to a cast whose sympathetic CO.
operation is brilliant. There was
nothing last night to mar a smooth,
rich surface, where the slightest i'm
perfection would have shown itself
like spot of rust on a silver shield.
Miss Eva lie Gallienne's portrayal Of
a princess was exquisite and convinc-
ing. Her dignity, her poise, her deli
cate charm, whether she smiled or
merely sat STILL was thing of
beauty. Basil Rathbone puts into the
role OF the silent but adoring tutor
of her brothers passion which is
neither underdone nor exaggerated.
Katherine Emmett. as Princess Be
atrice: Halliwell Hobbies, as Father
Hyacinth; Winifred Fraser, as Sym
phorosa; Reginal owen, as Prince
Albert, and Alison Skipworthr in her
brief appearance as Princess Maria
Dominica, are successful in charac
tiers so finely drawn that their work
requires skill of the highest order.
They are mentioned here "in the or
der of their appearance" for to select
one from that cast is a feat not only
difficult but tedious in its proper per-
Torrance.
Molnar has pictured his tale in the
castle of a princess whose daughter,
to keep the family traditions on the
high level maintained by generations
before her, must marry the prince,
who will succeed to the throne. 1t is
an old theme-this ambition of moth
ers for their daughters, ambition so
often ruined and come to Eaught
when when hearts are at stake. And
Princess Beatrice's ambition came
near failure through the uncontrollab BILE
heartbeats of a young tutor, a pro-
fessor, whose studies of the stars

SLURREDBy |BANEz,
! D'EzA SEEKS DUEL
Former War Minister Comes
to France for Apology
or Fight.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 2S-Viscount
dEza, former Spanish minister of
war, has arrived in Paris for the ex-
pressed purpose of obtaining an
apology or satisfaction from Vim
cente Blasco IbaneZ, the author, for
what the statesman considers an in
sulting reference regarding him in
the writer's manifesto against King
Alfonso and the military directorate.
The manifesto is entitled Alfonso
unmasked." The viscount's present
plans, 1t is said, are to publish an ar
ticle in LIE Figaro calling upon 1ban-
e2 to make a retraction. In the event
the author declines to do so, the Wis
counts friends say he is prepared
to seek out Ibanez in his retreat at
Mantone and publicly challenge him
to a duel The portion of the mani
festo to which the former minister
of war particularly objects, states: "A
letter is alleged to have been writ
ten by King Alfonso to Gen. Silves-
ire, commanding the troops in Mo-
rocco, saying: do as l tell you.
Don't mind the minister of war. He
IL an imbecile."
Says He Avoided King.
The author then explains in his
pamphlet that EiScount Eza, who
was minister of war at the time, did
not see the king for months, as he
did not wish to be forced to salute
him.
Ibanez' attacks on King Alfonso and
other public personages is said to
have stirred up much resentment in
Spain. 1t is expected that the writer
will find himself the recipient of many
challenges to the field of honor. One
Of these has already been sent by
Benigno Narela, editor of the Madrid
Royalist paper. La Monarquia. who
announced his intention of coming TO
France to,"pull Ibanez' ears"
AS the Spanish directorate is under

one creating incidents in France. it is
thought that Editor Narela probably
will be refused passports. as was the

Aizpuru, both former heads of the

visit France for the same reason Both

From Lucils's Diary

A FEW days ago I received a letter A from Leigh Ballertoh, written
 from her country home, inviting me to be bridesmaid at her wedding. which is to take place three weeks from next Saturday. She is one of the Dix Amies girls with whom I have never been intimate, for the req son that I don't wish to be closely as sociated with anybody who looks so much older than I. She said that she desired me to wear a painted chiffon costume, which she was designing.
 1It might be something I shouldn't like at alI,'' I said to mother. .'and am sure it would be frightfully ex- Ipensive. I'll write that l can't pos isibly accept"
 But, Lucile, unless you have a good reason for declining, it will hurt her feeling" said mother. "You and Dix Amies have been such devoted friends for so long that when one asks you to assist at her wedding you should do it, even at sacrifice. think"
 Trust me to find reason, mother darling," returned laughingly, and forthwith wrote to Carol Nodine, pro- posing myself for a visit at her lovely home at the time of the wedding. thought l should ask Dexter Haines. to run up for the weekend. Carol re- piled almost immediately that she and Tom had made plans to be away from home at the time had mentioned.
