NATIONAI-"Trelawny of the Wells.

Owing to the great amount of terri
tory to be covered by the whirlwind
tour of the all-star cast of 'Trelawny
Of the Wells" the Washington engage
ment was originally set at half a week
only, but the tremendous number of
inquiries at the National Theater that
followed the first announcement of a
possible visit led George c. Tyler to
eliminate three other cities in order
to play full week here, beginning
Monday night, March %. This puts
Washington in the same class of long
run cities as Chicago, Boston and
Philadelphia, where ''Trelawny" will
play but one week instead Of one or
two months.
This engagement promises to be one
of the most notable artistically and
socially in the history of the National
Theater, while still another tribute to
it's Importance is the arrangements
being made by the railroad companies
for special trains into Washington
that week that theatergoers from
nearby cities will have an opportunity
to see one of the greatest assemblies
of stars ever gathered In a play that
still brings tears and laughter after
80 years Of amazingly successful re-
Vivals.
There are % characters in Tire

George c. Tyler includes John Drew,

One of the most remarkable con-

vaudeville. II lies in the prcsenta-

One example of self-censorship
among theatrical producers is George
{. Tyler, who has held to faithful
reliance on the public demand for
the best that can be had in acting
or authorship. His "Trelawney of

Office of the National Theater which

discourtesy, as well as impractical
business, to assume that the Ameri-
