WARDMAN PARK-"The Circle. "

THE Circle" an English comedy
drama made famous by John Drew
and Mrs. Leslie Carter in the days
when a divorce was a scandal is re-
viVed, or rather brought to light, by
the Thomas Herbert Stock Co. in the
Wardman Park Theater this week
Brought to light is the better term,
for it would take a Drew or a Carter
to revive it and an English sense of
humor to thoroughly appreciate the
revival. 1t is not the happiest vehicle
that could be chosen for the Herbert
players. but despite this fact they
seem to give fair Interpretation
of it.
The stage set, designed by Robert
Byrne, a Washington artist. is one Of
the outstanding features of the pro
duction. Genuine old Sheraton furni-
ture is used effectively in furnishing
the drawing room of the Champion
CheneyS' ancestral home in Dorset.
w. Somerset Vaughan, the author
of the play, has favored his plot with
cynical humor and carefully avoided
touching his characters with enough
idealism to interfere with their very
human and selfish desires.
Parker Fennelly enacts the role of
Give Champion-Chen the injured
husband, who did not go on loving his
departed wife madly after her deser-

doing.

GAYETY-"Rarin' to Co."

Ed Daley, probably the first pro-
ducer of mixed shows in Washington.
has another crackerjack Offering at
the Gayety this week, the Black and
White Company, playing a combina-
ton of burleSque, jazz and real negro
comedy--a regular three-ring circus.
The first part of the program is
devoted to the white performers, fea
turing Billy Foster, Eleanor Marshall
and Midgie Gibbons. Foster is as
funny as ever and has some new
material The prima donna role is
taken by Eleanor Marshall, who sings
well, particularly in a specially with
Joe kilsch. The soubrette, Midgie
Gibbons, is a young lady with feet
that just simply will not keep still.
Others in the white cast are Helen
McCree, Elmer Redmond, Lewis
France and Billy Gray.
The second half is devoted to negro
comedy, dancing. singing and jazz
tunes. The big laugh in this portion
is Tim Moore. ably assisted by Jimmie
Ferguson. This pair introduce some
real negro comedy with sayings that
McClain and Lovey Taylor sing
"blues" and other songs as only
members of their race can. Good
dancing is done by "JaZZ Lips" Rich
ardson, a notable negro performer;
Alex Kent and Jimmie Ferguson. The
jazz band, known as Jordan's "Ten
Sharps and Flats" is a big feature
of the show. They syncopate, interpo-
late and animate in a manner that
keeps. the feet of the audience as
well as the performers moving in
time to the tunes. One of the fun
niest scenes in the show is entitled
"Bearcat Jones Last Fight" which
is rich in negro humor.
This show had the house packed
last night. A special midnight per-
formance will be given Friday.
