Burton Holmes Today.

Round About Rome" will be the
theme Of the Burton Holmes trav-
elogue at the National Theater this
afternoon at $3.50 and this evening at
$50.
To know Rome within the Walls
Is only to know half of Rome's i'm
mortal story. Beyond the gates
every point of the compass reflects
the glamour of the heroic past as we'll
as both ancient and modern
beauties.
Mr.. Holmes takes his fellow trav-
elers from the heights of TivoN to
the deserted streets Of the ancient
Roman seaport Ostia; from the gar
dens of Frascati to the buried cata-
combs; from the Alban Mountains and
the Lake of Nemi to the sea-like sweep
of the Campagna, traversed by the
silent Appian way and guarded by
the ancient tombs OF Roman nobility
and the arches of the classic aque-
ducts. In this travelogue Mr.. Holmes
presents the fruits of two months of
intensive observation Round About
Rome"

National Cyril Maude In
Aren't We ALP"

In pleasant contrast to the new
ventures in theatricals with which
Washington has been regaled this
season comes Cyril Maude the dis
tinguished English actor, tomorrow
night to the National Theater for
a weeks engagement in Frederick
Lonsdale's sparkling comedy, Aren't
We AllT'
Aren't We ALP" is described as
brilliant, breezy and thoroughly
amusing comedy, written in the best
vein of the author of Spring Clean
ing" and The Fake" and other plays
which have been seen on the New
York and London stages. AS for
Cyril Maude, he needs no introduc-
tion to local playgoers. for he will
ever be remembered for his remark
able performance of Grumpy"
In Aren't We Alp Mr.. Maude is
seen as Lord Grenham, a humorous,
amiable and altogether lovable old
philanderer. The role has been de-
scribed as Grumpy" with smile,
and the play is a succession of laughs
throughout it's entire three acts.
Prominent in the cast are Hugh
Huntley, Godfrey Millar, Harry Ash
ford, Timothy Huntley, Hope Suther-
land, Isabel Lamon, Marguerite St.
John, Cynthia Brooke, Olive Reeve
Smith and f. Gatenby Bell.

Guiding the superattraction, Mr..
Belasco himself, was by no means
a bad return. 1t should go far to-
ward recouping the financial sacri-
noes he undoubtedly made when he
set his pace by such colossal pro-
ductions as The Darling OF the
Gods and 'Dubarry" and The Good
Little Devil" and-but why indulge
in palmy-day prattle!
1t is not unreasonable to assume
that a community that has recently
absorbed twenty-five thousand dol
lars worth of highly seasoned Hun
garian goulash will not turn at once
with eager appetite to diet of beef
stew.
Another Belasco show is sched-
uled for the near future. 1t will be
at the National Theater. This ex-
plicit announcement is emphasized
for the benefit OF several ladies of
sedate elegance who were thorough
ly disappointed when they went to
matinee at the Belasco Theater
and found they were going to see a
charming and entirely suitable COM
edy instead of THE Harem." They
consoled themselves with the gentle
courtesy BETTING their unmistak-
able social station by rejecting that
they could see the real Belasco play
on Saturday afternoon. 1t is strange
to study the break of the luck in
productions Of especial boldness.
Paul Potter, after career of dis
tinction, was swept into a pathetic
oblivion by the presentation of a
single salacious farce. What is au-
dacity with one person is impudence
with another. 1t all depends on the
one who tells the story and how he
tells it. Mr.. Be1asco has another
play coming in a short time; con-
siderately allowing us few weeks
in which to save up another twenty
FIVE thousand.

Character Creation.
sTT is possible for a playwright

T is possible for a playwright or
= an actor to construct character
of a Characterization entirely from
imagination" says Cyril Maude, the
noted English actor, but it is as
improbable as that a painter can pro-
duce great portraits without models.
The greatest characterizations, of
course, can be made when the writer
or the actor has In his minds eye a
definite appearance which 1t Is de-
sired to bring to life on the stag.
Then we have the composite char
acterization, where writer or author
las taken, in a manner of speaking,
the nose of one character, the mouth
of another, the eyes of a third and
peculiar mannerism of still another
and fits them together into a char
acter which is real when it is brought
to the stage.
"The playwright, of course, really
creates the character, because he has
IN his minds eye his ideal of the
sort of person he is to be. The actor
upon reading the play has his own
image of that person. 1t is improb-
able that the image of author and
actor ever were exactly the same,
even with historical character, but
it is possible for them to come very
closely together upon the idea for
the character"

Lake Placid, N. Y.-After an all

The opposition was led by Mrs.
Edward S. Shumway, of Brooklyn,
who pictured the amendment as the
opening wedge for a system that
would overthrow our institutions. She
read lengthy charge that the effect
of the amendment would mean the
of the child to bolshevic

these statements were made when
equal suffrage was urged land Mrs.
Shumway was forced to acknowledge
that she was reading from Washing

The child labor amendment were
swept aside amid gales Of laughter
