Mr.. Ford's business career was

ADJUSTMENTS
NATIONAL-"The Last of Mrs.
Cheyney."

Very pleasant recollections of Ina
Claire and her splendid company
that originally brought "The Last of
Mrs. Cheyney" to Washington were
revived in the performance OF the
National Theater Players in the same
play at the National last evening.
And just here let it be remembered
that the Lollsdale play is not one Of
those compositions that almost any
little theater group can get away with.
Il is strong in characterizations and
its demands are exacting in smooth,
unmelodranatic comedy, although the
play is melodramatic in it's very
essence, and 1t is just here that the
deft touch. not by the star alone, but
by her entire supporting group, is
required in fullest detail.
It would be too generous to say
that Manager Cochran's fine company
matches the performance of the Claire
company, but in many instances 1t
serves to pleasantly recall the charm
OF the original performance. and there
il excellent reason for believing that
the resemblance will become closer
still as the acting machinery begins
70 move with the accustomed smooth.
ness OF the National Players.
Leona Powers is eXcellently match
ing her fine performance of last week
in THE Patsy with but a slight
drawback in the matter Of self-con-
seriousness at times, which 1t is be-
lieved will disappear when she has
secured full grip on her characterize
ton. Romano Calender is unusually
good In the role Of Charles, the mys-
terious butler; Dorothy Tierney, excel
lent as the gay and giddy Lady Joan.
J. Glynn McFarlane is also due praise
for his outstanding performance of the
season as Lord Arthur Dilling, and
Lorraine Bernard makes the role of
Maria. not an overprominent part.
stand out in its naturalness. Charles
Hampden, perhaps, has the toughest
proposition Of them all in matching
Lawrence D'Orsay in the role Of Lord
Eldon, a stage lord Of British extrac-
ton, who falls head over heels in love
with the charming Mrs. Cheyney and
then into the depths of idiocy in en-
deavoring to extricate himself from
the consequences.
The play is handsomely staged, the
setting of the first act calling forth
pronounced applause upon the rising
Of the curtain.
Taken all in all, with a fresh draft
upon memory and the inherent
dramatic talent Of the company, 1.-THE
Last Of Mrs Cheyney" promises to be
one Of the gems OF the Summer
season.
