'CEClY ANN"
CURTSEYS
TONIGHT

The Rams Head Players will
offer tonight the first presenta-
ton Of Cecily Ann, q new play in
four acts by Bertram Bloch, at
their Eighteenth Street Playhouse.
Dress rehearsal of the piece
last night afforded some thirty
complimentary customers an ad-
vance peep upon the latest ef-
forts of the troupers of Wash
ington's thumbnail show house.
Josephine Hutchinson, lady
leader of the Rams Head theory
of drama is admirable in her lat
est role of Cecily Ann herself,
busy at the task of turning a
pie-eating novelist from a crank
into a gentleman1y sweetheart.
cent theory, however, she uses q
fourth act in which to spurn him
for the handy collegiate aspirant
to her affections.
Bloch appears to have taken
four acts in which to tell a story
difficult to properly stretch to
three. The going Is tedious
throughout, surfeited with words
and lacking in action. The work
of the players, nevertheless, shows
a marked improvement over
earlier efforts and criticism for
the most part must be directed
at the script.
In the cast in addition to Miss
Hutchinson appear Walter Beck,
Leona Roberts, Ranold Savery,
Marion Law, Betty harrington
and Robert Belle. L. M.
