PRESIDENT
4eRain"-Third Week

Aside from being very excellent
drama, / am convinced that
PAIN now current at the Presi-
dent ThAoter, is. nothing else as
much as a study in abnormal
psychology. The playwright -
the play I1Aying been written
from the story OF Somerset
Maughau-has done his work
with meticulous care. He has
woven the hidden impulses and
actions of life into drama that
moves inexorably to tragic
climax.
Much could be written In
more extended review, about the
careful planning that went into
this story. Technically, as Writ
ten, 1t is well nigh perfect.
The road company at the Pres
ident provides an entirely ade-
uuate cast. Katherine Hayden
scored heavily as Sadie Thomp:
son, the not too bright girl about
whom the play surges. Her emo
tional work, which is trying I'D
the second scene, is very finely
done.
For sheer acting, however, L
am inclined to favor Frederick
Smith, who played the part OF
the Reverend Davidson. Here was
a part of difficult proportiHns:
very easy to overdo and sam
easier to underdo. Mr.. Smith
managed to strike the right note.
The play. believe. depends more
on the acting of this role than
any other.
Harry Burkhardt, as Doctor
MacPhail, was capable ana
Joseph Robinson, as the trader,
Joe Horn, did some excellent
work.

and colorless wife, gave good &C

STRAND
Vaudeville and Films

Old Man Jazz" and his cohorts
have sent some fine representa-
tives from their musical kingdom
to Washington theaters this sea-
son but at none has he planted a
finer company OF opponents OF
the art than at the Strand
Theater this week where Cell
Mann's Band BOX Revue" includ-
ing orchestra, dancers and sing
ers tops the bill.
To say that Manager Sparrow
booked q winner in this act, Is
stating an emphatic fact mildly.
AS on the occasion Of its original
appearance at the Strand a year
or more ago. the act scores a
knockout. Yesterdays audience
literally "ate it up" az the boys
back stage would express it. Pep,
speed, syncopation at its best.
and senior Ruiz and Miss Bunnie,
two whirlWind dancers. the
former also possessor OF a fine
tenor voice appearing as an added
feature combine to make the act
one deserving OF the highest
praise.
The rest of the bill, which in
cidentally boasts plenty OF good
comedy, is equally worthwhile.
Sue Creighton and Eddie Lynn
in THE F'ollies of Side Street,
presented as the added attraction
are star pupils Of the school OF
clog. buck and wing. Sue in addi-
ton is a comediene OF exceptional
talent and makes Iaugllts and en-
cores the order Of the day.
Billy and Gladys Zeck offer
Grooming the Groom" as an
other headline offering. Clever
lines and well sung song or two
win deserved applause. Carol
Racine and Dorothy Ray register
with their wise cracks ana
blues singing. Boyd and Wal
lin start the ball rolling with a
spine tickling SLACK Wire and
Iron Jaw novelty.
Three Keys" a rapidly NOV
ing mystery drama with a decided
novel twist in its plot construc-
ton, is the main photoplay Tea
ture for this week.

The story is simple, yet leaves
one with a feeling Of depression,
having seen it, yet also with Q
sense of having been more than
entertained. It centers about
the struggle of a Polish boy and
rirl in Germany after the war.
Il tells in unrestricted, vivid
strokes of their attempt to raise
a patch of potatoes to feed the
family and eventually enable
them to marry. And it shows
their utter failure at the hands
of hunger-mad men. Through
the whole cycle, their love for
each other overcomes all OBJ
stacles. It is sad. It is CONF
pelling. The monotony of strug-
PIE and failure is not pleasing.
And yet, 'Isn't Life Wonder

tiful.

Blossom Time" is at Polls,
it's birthplace. Every year it
makes the pilgrimage, and if it
continues to come for many
years more, it will still find old
pals and new in the audience.
The years of repetition have
dealt kindly with that immortal
score, and the singers Of the
present company treat it well.
But we never could say an
honest word for the archaic
book, and we're not going to do
so at this late date.
Anyone who can hum a tune
or thinks he can-which includes
all conscious humanity and near
humanity-wi1l take his time
about getting tired of the "Blos-
som Time tunes-the "Song of
Love-" the "Serenade," "Tell
Me, Daisy" and the rest.
To those who proudly boast that
they have seen Blossom Time"
three times, and are going to see
it again, it may become a little
wearisome to have several en-
cores on the slightest provocation.
They may even wax Indifferent to
the Kissed "Suss -pishus'' of Herr
Krans. But the lovers of Bios
som Time" be they eer so in
cIined to tug at the leash, VIII
forgive anything.
We have this week a most at
tractive Mitzi in Eliz Gerse1y.
She sings sweetly and with feel
ing. The role of Schubert, all
ways hard, is well done by Knight
MacGregor, who boasts an effective
baritone. Ralph Soules does well
by the tenor part of Schober.
We can say good word, too,
for Rupert Darrell, who wrings
every ounce of comedy from the
part Of KranzA 1t isn't Darren's
fault IL the lines don't always
sound 50 well. Clarence Harvey,
tried and true veteran Of the
stage, plays Count Sl1arnt0ff. And.
oh. Bel1abrunna! Grace A. Yeager
sings the part, nicely and pas
sionately. We thank Messrs. Ray
Greene, SanO Marrow and William
Mckinley for their singing also.
