THE SHOW-OFF''
WEEK AFTER

The week of February will
begin the engagement of The
Show orr" at the National. We
do not hesitate to say that if
you have not seen this tran
script of life" during its New
York or Philadelphia runs do 50
before it leaves town. This adj
vice has been given theatergoers
by practically every dramatic
commentators in New York, Chi
cago and Boston. In which cities
the play has been presented.
Perhaps one of the principal
reasons for the success OF THE
Show OFF, is the infectious laugh
of its principal character. 1t Is
not mirthful laugh, but rather
the result OF empty headedness,
and yet it arouses mirth in those
who hear it. Audiences have
laughed until they cried, and for
the most part it had it's origin in
the guffaW or the addie-pated
show.off.
Louis John Bartels, in the title
role, plays Aubrey Piper TO the
minute. He parades himself in
the bosom of typical American
family, sponging when necessary
on his well-to-do brother-in-law,
grasping the ideas of others, and
almost persuading those who
know him best that he is man
of importance. Helen Lowell, as
Mrs. Fisher, his mother-in-law,
makes an, able foil for the
blatant husband of her daughter,
and the brilliant repartee between
these two characters is carried
on to the final curtain.
