The San" "

At the Shubert-Belasco Theater, be-
ginning tomorrow night, Raymond
Hitchcock will be seen in a new laugh
play, the handiwork- of William A
Grew, called THE Sap" which comes
direct from the Apollo Theater In New
York
Last season Hitchcock forsook the
lighter form of entertainment with
which his name has been associated
for. years past, and made a tour
through the country in Don Marquis
The Old Soak" His success in this
role was such that he determined to
continue his stage efforts in comedies
that needed not the aid of show girls
and music. His managers, George H.
Nicolai and j. M. Welch, cast about
them for a vehicle for this seasons
tour and THE Sap represents the
result of their effort.
The comedy Is declared by New
York reviewers as clean and whole
some and brimming over with laugh
provoking lines and situations. Wash
ington will be interested to know
that Doris Eaton is in the cast I'm a
part that gives her fine opportunities
The three Eaton girls, Doris, Mary
and Pearl, are products of the Capital
City and they are playing side by
side in attractions on Forty
street-Mary, with kid Boots" and
Pearl, in "Annie Dear" with Billie
Burke, that other Washing gtonian.

America Has Ideals.

" 4 FTER all, the stage is but a re-
fiection of the life of a coun-
try" said Charles Ruggles, the come
dian, in MIR. Battling Butler" in a
miniature lecture on drama recently.
It's measure of worth is the meas
ure in which it truly reflects cotem-
poraneous life-the ideals, customs,
manners and characters of the times.
It's appeal, too, rests upon what it
does in this regard.
"A dramatist, to be successful, must
be imbued with the spirit of the ma
ton; he must be soil of the soil, and
able to express the idealism Of the
people. I admit that we have not
many playwrights who can do this,
but we certainly have had some
American plays which have done it.
"1t does not make any difference
how good play may be or how sue
cessful 1t is in London. Rome, Paris
Or Madrid. If 1t does not fit Amer
lean ideals, or the American sense of
propriety, and conform to our dra-
matte standards, it is not going to
last. Some of the best French plays
fail ignominiously here just because
they deal with social conditions
which to us do not exist. Our Puri-
tanism has been sneered at and made
the object of ridicule, but it has not
been shaken in the least. 1t is as
strong today as 1t ever was"

A Radical Departure.

A GREAT many screen directors
n and actors seem to attach much
import to the old saw about the shoe
maker sticking to his last. and, hav-
Ing once achieved success, they feel they
must cling to its specific formula.
There are few outstanding eXcep-
tions to this notion, among them one
of the youngest of the feminine
screen stars, Colleen Moore, who has
determined to vary her portrayals and
still hold the interest of those who
were originally attracted to her by
her vivacious delineation of the flap
per" type.
After the popularity of FLAMING
Youth" and THE Perfect Flapper," the
conviction began to grow upon this
particular star that henceforth she
might be known chiefly as the femi-
nine Juvenile exemplifler of the 'jazz''
era. Immediately she set about to
correct this situation.
Her next picture, version of Edna
Ferbers story, so Blythe life
study of a woman wrapped up in her
disappointing son-offered the chance.
Few thought Colleen Moore mature
enough to do justice to such a role
In fact, everything seemed to be
against it.. But she had determina-
tion and the vision and courage to
depart from her established type and
to try something different but equal
ly creative. The picture will be seen
here this week, and Miss Moore's ad-
mirers can see for themselves how
we'll she has succeeded.

Margaret Wycherly Reading.

Margaret Wycherly, the American
actress, will give a reading of Jane
Clegg' Thursday at Sis pm, in the
auditorium of the Central High
School, under the auspices of the
Washington Society of the Fine Arts.
Miss Wycherly is a sort of Christie
pher Columbus of the theater. She
is always discovering new play
wrights of interest. and giving them
their opportunity to be played. Jane
Clegg," in which she played the title
role with the Theater Guild, was
one of the early successes which
helped to build this group into a
powerful producing organization.
Miss Wycherly's performance in this
play by St John Ervine is one of
the great portraitures of the stage.
John Drew, referring to one of her
performances said, 'T have not seen
anything so completely excellent for
many years"

The Hero" by a War Vet.

"T'HE HERO" regarded by many
critics as one of the best plays
written in recent years, has been the
cause of much discussion as to its
main thesis, that a low moral sense
may not preclude a natural bravery,
especially on the battlefield.
When first presented in New York
city three years ago, the general pub
lie lacked the perspective regarding
the World War necessary to q clear
understanding Of the theme, because
time had not then mellowed the nat
ural sentimentallty of audiences in
America.
AS written by Gilbert Emery, him
self soldier, a vein of satire runs
through the play, which is Emerys
first effort in that line. 1t was writ
ten shortly after his return from
France, with his impressions of war
fare still vivid.
1t is a worthy drama, beautifully
constructed, and has won the inter
est of a remarkable number of critics
whose opinions usually are quite di-
vergent as to play merit S. ]. Kauf-
man applauds it as "a play that is al
most great, and the joviaI Mr.. Bench
ley, in Life, thinks it took courage to
write such a. play. Even George Jean
Nathan admits that 1t ,is worth
while"
