A MYSTERY PLAY
DECIDES TO

Listen. brethren and sistern, IL
you went to supper, dance, a.
very .soupand.fishy affair, and
upon entering, with your lady fair
draped over your arm, you found
that you had absentmindedly for
gotten to don your trousers, what
would you do? According to the
advertisement for a handbook of
etiquette which came in my morn
ing's mail you would calmly point
out the beauties Of the snake with
the green feathers waltzing across
the floor with the polecat. which
smells like altar OF roses, thus
diverting attention from your
plight.
Shooting Shadows" the play
by the Thomas Herbert Players,
at the aWardman Park Theater
this week, is about as much a
mystery play as I'm a South Sea
dancer. But it's peach Of a
comedy. Unless you expect to
find a fine piece Of playwriting,
you may see It and have most
entertaining evening. Art h lir
{ Rhodes swiped the play this trip;
and speaking of comedy. he's a
betty kick in the stats. Miss Har-
rison's work was good last night.
And il you aren't interested In
the play, she's easy on the eyes.

The saving grace OF the play
is the way the players pull to-

over. Their lines are charged
with buckshot. The play itself
was not intended by it's makers
to be what it has become, but it's
good advertisement at that. You
go expecting to be thrilled and
laugh like donkey with the

Bert Levy, crayon artist and
among the most personable
monologists on the stage, turns
dramatic critic in his depart
ment, around the Circuit" in
the Sunday Telegraph. H e
writes, omitting the name Of the
attraction which ] insert in
parantheses:
Some managers wonder why
their successful New York shows
fIoD ON the road. Listen to this.
Last night Sunday l was pres
emit at the Washington opening Of
the number two company OF one
of New YOrk's daintiest girl re-
views Earl CARROTS Vanities).
Ii was one of the saddest per-
fOrmanceS 1 have ever seen, and
the cast worked herOically against
a series of unfortunate happen
nings that should have been
avoided.
1 saw this same number two
company go through a trial per-
Torrance at the managers own
Broadway theater before it took
to the road, and they gave a
splendid performance: but last
night / had to leave the show
before the finish for fear of be-
coming a nervous wreck, all on
account Of the shocking mislaps
to the curtains and scenery.
1 felt sorry for the manager,
who is a very good friend of
mine; but 1, felt more for the
principals of the show, many of
them dear pals. Frank l.. Baer,
dramatic critic Of The Washing
ton Times, had the following to
say Of the unfortunate premiere.
Here he reproduces Mr.. Baer's
criticism and then continues with
his own comment:
The saddeSt part of it all is
that Frank Baer's notice" was
absolutely just-but, had he seen
the show today Monday he
would not have written such
notice, for the company gave a
fine performance.
On the opening night every gag
and every scene lost out on ac-
count of the bungling by the stage
crew. Curtains absolutely refused
to go up or come down.
Dramatic sketches that depend
ed on light cues to put them
over were utterly ruined because
Of the tardiness-sO it seemed
Of the men at the switchboard.
"My God" I kept saying to my
self as ] sat through part of the
show, chow easily manager can
lose his reputation and his money
through no fault of his OWn!"

ure was no fault of the managers
representatives back and front Of
the curtain line for they sWeated
to put the show over, but had
anyone whispered to me that there
was q conspiracy among the stage
crew to crab the show certainly
would have believed it.
OF course, there was no such
conspiracy; ii was just zone Of
those things" be- 1t lost out for
the producer and artists. The
LEGAL papers numerically panned
the principals Of the cast.

Fish Versus Art

In an argument between active

more people visit the Aquarium
than the metropolitan Museum.
In the time-honorsd old fish-tank

(aquatic) and a display Of curl
Gus. If not beautiful, creatures.
Maybe the Metropolitan Museum
Is looked upon as a sort of splen-
