W.ARDMAN PARK THE Handy

The Thomas Herbert Stock Co, at
Wardman Park Theater this week, has
one of its best opportunities in The
Handy Man" q comedy in three acts
by Fred Wall and Ralph Murphy, and
from the opening performance last

means to take fun advantage of its
chance.
Not since this capable company open
ed at Wardman Park Theater have
they had Il play so well suited TO the
talent of its players. II is a charming

the short time allowed for rehearsal.

best performance with this company.

ing role of the girl crook offers Il fiery
bit OF acting, and Robert J.. Clear

LcOna Roberts and Arthur Rhodes are
satisfactory as the aged and Grabbed
grandfather and the gentle and self
sacrificing maiden aunt. Thomas Her

York detective, and Ruth Russell is
cast in the part Of the innocent daugh-

The Big Parade" comes to Wash

mulate haloS as the years roll on.
For that reason The Big Parade
should be shown until everybody has
seen it. Then il should be wrapped in
asbestos and moth balls and put away
carefully until il has been forgotten,
