NATIONAL PLAYERS-"Cha
Aunt"

The National Players this week will
observe an important anniversary in
the realm of English playwriting-the
bicentenary anniversary of the writ
ing of the famous and enduring farce
comedy "Charley's Aunt" So defiant
Is this rollicking laugh provoker
against the onslaughts Of time and
new ideas that the spectators seeing
was written yesterday and that this
Is its premiere.
Today's plays to very large eX-
tent experience a quick mortality, be-
cause generally they are written
around topical subjects or moods of
the moment. In bygone days the gay
nineties. as we'll as the lavendered
seventies, were less productive Of
evanescent fads and fancies, so the
foresighted playwright utilized situa-
tions that had no relation to a specific
period or place and nodded them into
durable laugh-getters. Such is Char
leys Aunt" a play depending for its
hilarious situations on mixed Identities,
a theme which was old when Shake
speare wrote The Two Dromios'' and
as new and modern as Up in Mabels
Room"
Briefly. the episodes revolve around
the efforts of young Lord Babs to ex-
tricate himself from the annoying con-
sequences of masquefading as his
friends aunt, which annoyances reach
q rib.tickling summit through the per-
sistence of an old fossil in pursuing
and falling in love with a bogus
spinster.

Dorothy, Heavy Ingenue.

DOROTHY TIERNEY, one of the
talented members of the National
Players and art director of the com
pany as well. is becoming an un'
usual person in the ranks of the in
genues.
Her newest classification has been
suggested as heavy ingenue,' and
though theater nomenclature hasn't
thus far recognized this designation,
Miss Tierney's work the present sea-
son seems to justify it.
Two of her outstanding characteri-
cations this year are the funny col
ored maid in THE First Year." where
in she had the awkward shuttle and
the thick accent down pat, and the
12-year-old kid sister in The Family
Upstairs" which many thought her
best characterization of the season.
In addition to character parts Miss
Tierney has played "straights," a
particularly striking one being the
romantic lead in Puppy Love" She
grand lady, as a Snippish sister and
as an adolescent young romanticist.
In addition several roles have levied
on her vocal abilities and her knowl-
edge of the piano.
Miss Tierney, daughter of John
Tierney, a, well known comedian of
his day, was educated at a Baltimore
convent. and seldom does a week go
by that friends from the Monumental
City do not drop over to see their dis
tinguished alumnus. A New York en-.
gagement awaits her at the end Of
the Nationals Summer season. And
those things are not overabundant in
these days.

Quiet Vaudeville Fans.

DESPITE an idea prevalent in
America that there is nothing as
cool and reserved as an Englishman.
Jimmy Nervo, one of the English CO.
medians featured at keith's this week.
says that in comparison to the aver
age American the Englishman is
wildly unreserved and enthusia site"
He was speaking of such Americans
and English as haunt the theaters.
"Theatergoers in the English halls.
which correspond to American vaude-
vile houses. get up and cheer when
they approve of an act, says Nervo.
Nothing has amazed us more than
the quietness of the patrons of the
American vaudeville theaters. 1t is at
the varieties that the Englishman for
once forgets his reserve and cuts loose.
He cheers and applauds and stamps
with all the enthusiasm of a small
American boy. Half the entertainment
on an English vaudeville bill is sup
piled by the audience. 1t is as CONVEX
sational as the audience at an Ameri-
can base ball game"
Nervo and Knox, his partner. have
appeared several times by royal COM
mand for the King and Queen: the
most recent of such command per-
formances took place early this Sum
mer. The Prince of Wales. they as
sert, is a particularly excellent patron.

1t is described as a sparkling ro-
mantle comedy, juvenile in aspect and
frequently satiric in treatment, adapt
ed from the John Kirkpatrick play,
1.-The Book Of Charm" 1t concerns a
small-town flapper badly inoculated
with the New York idea. who believes
that all culture and sweetness and
light begin on the east bank OF the

pink when a visiting young man from
the metropolis takes her up in a
serious way and completely sweeps
her into forgetfulness of her small
town beau, who hates New York and
everything connected with it. Acquir-
ing a volume called THE Book of
Charm" which is supposed to hold
the key to social and romantic sue
cess, the small-town yOungster decides
to inoculate Main street with a little
Park avenue atmosphere, and when
this fails, the young man falls back
on the chapter on masculine sex ap-
peal, and with some interruption wins
fame and the girl.
