NATIONAL PLAYERS-"The Last
Warming"

At the National this week the Ma
tional Players will offer the comedy
mystery play, THE Last Warning"
The story has to do with the the
atrical business and practically all of
the characters are actors, managers,
stage hands and such. The action
takes place in the managers office of
a supposedly haunted theater and on
the stage. In the last scene novelty
hits the peak when a play within a
play, The Snare" is given.
Much of the hilarious comedy Is
supplied by one Evelynda Hendon, a
burlesque chorus girl who is employed
by the manager to make the other
actors laugh and forget the ghostly
menace which hovers over their prep
arations to remove the JinX. Eve
lynda does a lovely job of mangling
the we'll known English language.
To those who enjoy good show,
we'll plotted and we'll staged and re-
plete with laughter and suspense,

The action takes place on both sides
of the footlights and in the boxes, and
a decidedly novel twist is given the
last act with the appearance in the
aisles of honest to goodness live police

ONE of the greatest emotional

Nazimova herself, she of stage and
screen fame. returns to the two-a day,

Empress of Emotion" by Basil Mac
Donald Hastings,
Since Nazimova's last appearance
here in WAR Brides" she has starred
in many screen successes, but there
has never been a vehicle, either of
the silver sheet or the stage, that
has brought out the great possibili-
ties Of her talent like the playlet, hav-
ing for it's foundation the horrors
of war behind the lines.
Not long ago a celebrated dramatic
critic was asked who, to him, repre-
sented best the true dramatic spirit
of the dramatic stage. His answer
was Nazimova, because" he said,
"she combines the best qualities of
Duse. Bernhardt and Modjeska. and
still she remains human"

This became known today from her mother, Mrs. Charles w. liirtle, who since January 23 had waited anxiously for news from her daughter.
 Miss Hirtle's battle against the scourge was made doubly difficult by the fact that the villages in her district are scattered over an ice bound area so miles wide and most o' her travelling Is done on sled behind teams Of dogs whose tre- mendous endurance and speed make relief work possible,
 The situation became compI- cated when Dr. Mount, in charge of the base hospital at st.
