Gayety-''Best Show in

With good company and headed
by Frank Hunter and Walter (Boob)
McManus, THE Best Show in Town"
crowds the maximum into hours
and 20 minutes at the Gayety this
week.
The comedian principals, almost
constantly on the stage, early set a
standard SO pleasing that later ap-
pearances are automatically greeted
with hilarious outbursts. Hunter, in
the first act, plays an Italian strag-
gler with an infallible knack of con-
der, while in the second he gives an
Manus. his imbecile-appearing part
ner, is equally funny, his principal
assets being an expressionless and
decidedly homely countenance and a
speaking voice bearing close resem-
blance to the purr of cat. They are
both clever.
The show has many features. Aside
from the principals, one Prince
Rouscci. an accordionist, gives a re-
cital which is all too brief. Later he
is heard as a saxaphonist and at this
is also a master. Then, too, there
are "Ten Sherriffes," tumblers de luxe,
who challenge the alertness of the
eye These are the leading satellites.
The chorus rates high, is elab-
orately wardrobed with a complete
change for every new scene, and it is
well drilled Stage settings leave
nothing to be desired.
1t is an excellent show, fit for the
whole family to see.

A Modern Instance.

Not long ago weary gent whose
age was 68, without job, without a
cent, inveighed against his fate; and
then he took his rope and went
where Charon tows his freight. For
50 years this man had wrought with
industry and skill; a meager sus-
tenance he sought in factory and
mill and age and weakness only
brought a cheap grave on the hill.
Philosophers took up this case. and
argued con and pro; society is i'll
disgrace, if old men perish so. if
weary beings have no place when
strength is ebbing low. The statutes
and the laws we make, through So
Ions high and wise, are but a mean
and shabby fake if any worker dies
because he cannot buy a steak, or
even custard pies. Our Nation must
to chaos drift, its culture must de-
cay, if it refuses to uplift and save
the jobless jay; and yet there is a
thing called Thrift that seems to an
swer Nay" The man who's toiled
for 50 years at any useful task,
should clip off coupons with his
shears, have kopecks in cask, have
diamond pendants on his ears, and
on silk cushions bask. That sad old
man of 6S who sought the Silent
cline had doubtless burned hun
dred weight of greenbacks in his
time; when he was young and strong
and straight, he would not save
dime.

Belasco-Walker Whiteside
IN "Maverick."

The audience at the Shubert-Belasco
| Theater, last evening, alternately
| laughed and gasped at the perform
ance of Maverick" "a story in four
chapters, by Lutte III. Johnson" in
| which Walker Whiteside appears as
the star.
This story, in four chapters. staged
with a Barbary Coast atmosphere,
staggers through the efforts of a dis
Sruntled Eastern civil engineer to
make the desert blossom as the rose.
There is tense dramatic moment.
early in the story, in which he sue
ceeds in getting the drop on an un-
gentlemanly character called Pete,
who had threatened to kill him If he
lighted a cigar given him by Kate.
an orphan OF the wilds, sophisticated
but Eirtuous, upon whom Pete had
cast longing eyes. Mr.. Whiteside, as
Carter Kent, has been disillusioned
by a progressive woman in the East.
Ultimately he finds in Kate the ap-
Proclamation of his ideal. Until the
desert is made to blossom as the
rose, much after the Wallingford
fashion, misunderstanding on the
part of Kent and Kate and Fancy"
Charlie afford opportunities for
dramatic clashes and displays of emo
ton. But all ende happily.
To those familiar with his more
classical approximations Mr.. White
sides talents seem strangely out of
place in Maverick" He is surrounded
by company Of competent players.
Matura, an Indian woman, is well i'm
personated by Miss ,Genevieve Berto-
lacci, with characteristic voice and
action as well as appearance. Miss
Sydney Shields makes noble effort
to put the part of Kate over the foot
lights and yet remain within bounds,
a difficult task, due to the broad lines
assigned to her. Miss Pauline Jen-
nings is the gem of the play as Liz
zie. with her ukulele, or is it a man.

impressive padre, while H. Paul

CAPACITY CROWD
HEARS CHAL|AP|N
Famous Russian Basso De.
lights With Program at
Polls Theater.

An audience eager to hear n recital
by the great basso, Chaliapin. who
has appeared in Washington only
twice before, filed Polls Theater to
capacity yesterday afternoon. In
stead they heard an instrumental re-
cital. with two short groups of 10
numbers in all, including encores, by
the wonder singer.
Incased in tiny. box-like stage
setting, the grand piano filled the
platform, and the big basso had to
stand below it for his numbers.
Chaliapin appeared to have slight
hoarseness from cold.
After the performance, back-Stage,
he remarked: Il am a northman, and
these warm days and the heat Of the
hotel are not good for me-"
Mr.. Chaliapin's opening song. the
aria of SusSanin, from Glinka'S opera,

tonal opera of Russia, was beauti-
fully sung, with infinite dramatic
shading, control of volume. marvel

enunciation, for which Mr.. Chaliapin
has become famous. Equally lovely.

was the aria of the Tartar chief, from
Borodn'S opera, prince Igor" which
followed. A French song, FleGier's $
The Hunting Horns" Massanet's
"Elegie" and SchubertS "Serenade'
also were new to the Washington au-
dience as interpreted by Chaliapin.
All were given with the artistry that
marks the master singer. Pushkin's s
lovely poem, THE Singer; Griegs ex-
quisite musical setting for Heine' S
'Old Song" comical Pushkin verse,
with music by DargomiZhsky, and the
familiar "Nolga Boat Song" complet-
ed the singers program.
Max Rabinovtch, pianist, who ap-
peared here two years ago as accom-
panist for Mr.. Chaliapin. proved SYM
pathetic in that capacity yesterday,
and also showed skill in Scriabin's
"Etude Pathetique,' Mendelssohn' s
"Spinnerlied" and Balakirev's ar
rangement of Glinka's famous song,
The Lark for the piano. Abraham
Spokin, a young violinist, consumed
considerable of the program time
with two groups, which included the
first movement of TschaikowSky's s
Concerto" Gypsy Serenade,"
kreisler's arrangements of Frederick
Logan's Pale Moon" and Chopin's
"Mazurka in \ Minor" and Wieniaw-
sky's Souvenir of Moscow

Mutual" French Frolics.'

George BroadhurSt's dancing is the
outstanding feature of The French
Frolics' at the Mutual this week. The
show is an old-time burlesque enter
tainment with a modern verve added
and is strictly for men only"
There are several good scenic eff
fects, but the show is spoiled by the
poor voices of a chorus that shows
evidence of plenty of drill and works
hard to keep up the pep.
There is an abundance of "enter-
tainment," some Of it vulgar, even
filthy.
Betty Palmer has an ideal burlesque
personality that is inducive to good
humor, Billy Walker, Garlic LIE Vine,
Arthur Lyons and George Broadhurst
are good comedians-indeed, the last
named has the ability for higher
grade work.

RECALLED
Prince Of Wales. Reception
Contrasted With That
of Baron RenfreW"
BY JEAN ELIOT.

"HE visit. of the Prince Of
Wales to Washington today
recalls not only memories Of
his previous stay in the Capital in
1919 but of the time when his grand
father, then Albert Edward, Prince
Of Wales, afterward Edward VII
came a'visiting way back in 1860.
He travelled then under the trans
parent incognito Of Baron Renfrews
title which his grandson hs s.: iIl-
herited and which he frequently
uses, but he was received with all
the ponp and ceremony due a royal
parsonage and all manner of f3stiv-
tiles were arranged in his honor.
This time, by way OF contrast,
the heir to the British throne is
visiting America in his proper per.
son, this being considered a greater
compliment to great nation and
its Chief Executive by whom he is
being received today: But, at his
own request form and ceremony
are being dispensed with as com
pletely as Is compatible with the
dignity Of his station.
Indeed the four-houF visit Of the
Prince, with luncheon zen farnille at
the White House as it's climax. of.

Then he came to bear his royal
fathers greetings to President VII
son and, although the Presidents
illness prevented his being enter

whole official world united in doing
him honor.
