ADJUSTMENTS
N.ATIONAI-"Three Live Ghosts"

A rollicking comedy is presented by
the National Theater players this their
second week in the Capital 1t is
Three Live Ghosts" and it gives a
new member of the company an out
standing opportunity to register with
the following that the players already
have won.
Mrs. TIibbard is the new satellite.
Cast as Old Sweetheart, the proprie-
tress of rooming house on the out
skirts of Lunnon and dropping and
picking up his as if to the manner
born, Mrs. Hibbard is just about the
biggest event of the performance. She
makes something powerful out of the
old Cockney doWd who likes her gin
and has q passion for collection re-
wards even when it means that her
friends must 50 to Jail. Her per-
formance IS nothing short of a
knockout.
Three Live Ghosts" as probably
every one knows, concerns three
World War veterans who are rated
dead by the Government. One is a
shell-shock victim, another a cockney
youth and the third their American
buddy. Romaine Calender, William
Phelps and John Warner play the
roles. Calender gives one of his finest
performances as a kleptOmanlac called
"Spoofy." The sames goes for Phelps,
who is called upon to look wise and
deal extensively in the difficult dialect
of the London ''lyborer." Warner
plays "a straight bit and does it well.
Leneta Lane is the American sweet
heart of the American ghost who be-
comes involved with all the others in
a big robbery and kidnapping staged by
Spoofy, who brings home loot that in
cludes the crown jewels and real
live baby in baby carriage. The baby,
incidentally. runs Mrs. Hibbard close
race for the honors of the play. She
was introduced to the audience, her
first, by Clifford Brooke as Miss Ag-
mes. He promised to star her in
other pieces and a previous announce
ment can almost be guaranteed to
pack the house. Miss Agnes took
her triumph with marked calm.
Three Live Ghosts" like every
other play presented by this excellent
company. is very much worth ones
while. Its Cockney locale makes it
rather a difficult bit, but the National
Players handled it with finesse.
True to precedent established last
week, the first curtain rose on the dot,
and there were no stock company
waits between acts. In fact every
body seemed happy
