WHITE CARGO" IS
BACK FOR
A SPELL

White Cargo. a study of
moral decay on the west coast OF
Africa, is at the Belasco Theater
for the week. Washington had
the opportunity OF seeing this
piece when it was presented by a
stock company at the President
four weeks last season.
The excellence of the character
delineations in the play rather
than the play itself. provide what
ever Of worth there is in the
work. The figures of the doctor
and WitzeI especially the latter,
would stand out in any dramatic
production. They are finely and
fiercely done and are results of
meritorious work by the author
with cooperation from the pro-
tagenists.
Beyond this, however. there. is
little Of compelling power in the
play. The main action centering
about q few white men and
naulatto courtesan. may be pro-
voking, but strangely enough it
Is not offensive. There is that
much of conviction in the work.
Strong oatlls appear here and
there in the lines, but vulgarity
n not stressed and oaths. when
they appear. always seem to be IN
place.
Conway Wingfield. as the docs

able manner. Alan Davis has the
role OF Langford and Betty Pierce

tunity for plot or action at best,
the director deviates from the
original story to the sufficient
extent OF making it worse. Marie
Provost, as Gloria, the wife, is
pleasing but Matt Moore, as Dick
Gregory, a devoted husband is
impossible. The supporting cast
is average but no opportunity for
acting is afforded. Candidly it is
with difficulty that interest is

TOUR NEXT

Arthur Hopkins announces that
1.-THE Jest will positively make
"a tour Of the principal cities next

Alphonz Either. who IS the
towering Neri Of the current pro
duction.
'.The Jest Is probably the
most famous drama Of the last
generation in Europe, and GER
tainly the most successful play
which ever came out Of Italy.
It was sensation when produced
in Rome April IL. 1909, and is
now the mainstay Of half the
repertoire companies Of the con-
tinent. Sarah BernharIt intro
duced the play to Paris q year
later and scored q great success
with 1t.
The author, Sem Benelli, was
q journalist, but promised his
wife on her deathbed that he
would devote himself to play
writing and try to justify her
faith In his genius. He has since
produced five successful plays.
He served with distinction in
the Italian army In the World
War, was twice wounded and re-
ceived several decorations for
Yal0r.
The American version OF ''The
Jest" was adapted. for pure love
of the task, by the well-known
playwright, Edward Sheldon.
The settings are by Robert Ed
mond Jones and are generally
cited az the finest examples II
his art. The play has been
staged by Arthur Hopkins and
Ii another evidence Of his master
craftsmanship. He has signed
up practically the entire COM
