DROLL COMEDY
REVIVED AT
NATIONAL
Ry ANDREW r. KELLEY


'"The Beaux stratagem,' a.
venerable comedy of hiliarity, has
been revived under the aegis of
the Players Club and graced by
names of some renown in the
theater is touring under the
management of George C. Tyler.
The National Theater was
packed last night for the annual
benefit performance of the
Georgetown Hospital fund.
This ultra polite and generous
audience gave pause for appre.
citation to a Frances Starr, who
stirred memories of "The Easiest
Way" and Rose of the Rancho;
to Henry F.. Dixey of "Adonis"
and "The Man on the Box; to
the FRITZ Scheff, of Mile. Mo-
distes and other Herbert oper-
ettas: to the Wallace Eddinger
of Captain Applejack" and sue
cesses that reach back to Little
Lord Fauntleroy' to the Taylor
Holmes of Nothing But the
Truth" and other glorious farces:
to Raymond Hitchcock of THE
Yankee Consul" and ''Hitchy
Koo''; to Minnie Dupree, S. Miller
Kent. Percy Ames, Howard Kyle,
Valerie Valaire, Wilfrid Seagram,
Charles Allen, Marie Carroll, John
Westley and William Lorenz.
These are names to conjure
with. Seasoned players for the
most part, with a sprinkling of
youthful talent content to stand
in the shadow of greatness. 1t
requires more than the polished
art of accomplished actors to
revitalize a play of such antique
technique and faltering, uncer-
tain pace. "The Beaux' Strata
gem" is hopelessly old-fashioned.
unashamed of it's creaking Venera-
bility and relying altogether too
much on the modern touches its
cast can provide for the power to
entertain. A rusty classic that 1t
seemed to me impossible to rub
into even brightness.
Back in the seventeenth CEN
tury our forefathers undoubtedly
smiled guiltily at some of George
Farduhar's racy lines--daring, l
found much to amuse in this
riotous tale of two erstwhile
roustabou in quest of fortune,
confronting two charming gentle
women practicing the subtle
wiIes of coquettry. In rebirth
1.-The Beaux Stratagem" is an in
teresting Exhibit A of the drama
of another day, but only toll
erantly diverting when contrasted
with later models. Played with
a fine spirit of humorous aban.
don it nevertheless suffers from
the mechanics of innumerable
changes of scenery for its con-
tinuous action.
In the interest Of truth it can
be stated that Frances Starr, be-
wigged and>in period frocks made
a lovely Mrs. SHllen. And Marie
Carroll a cute and alluring
Dorinda. Taylor Holmes, (pinch
hitting for the convalescent James
r. Powers) made his Scubb the
hroadest and mcst droll of buff
fOons and this exaggerated touch
heightened the performance of
Raymond Hitchcock as the schem-
ing inn keeper. Wallace Eddinger
raced and delivered expIosiVelv
some of the more important lines
until their meaning was lost and
Wilfrid Seagram in his lace-trim-
med silks made a fascinating
Romeo Of the day.
Mr.. Tyler has given the pro-
duction his customary careful at
teution to scenic, establishment
and the costuming is one of the
comedy's attractive features.

PAULINE LORD
IS ST OF
INTERLUDE

The Theater Guild Is billing Eu-
gene O'Neill's drama, Strange In.
terlude," as "the most extraordi-
nary play ever written. That is as
it may be, but its presentation at
the National Theater the week be-
ginning Sunday, December %, is
undoubtedly one of the most inn
portant theatrical events in the
history of Washington. So much
discussion has been aroused by
this play of Americas greatest
dramatist, on account of its great
length, on account of its new teen.
nique of having the actors express
their inner thoughts In q sort OF
aside" to the audience. and be-
cause of the revolutionar. con-
tents of the play. that it has been
awaited more eagerly by Washing
ton playgoerS than any otner
drama of recent years.
AS an indication Of this. the pun
lished version of strange inter
lude" has sold more copies than
any play in book form since ben
Hur." IN New York the play -
still running, as much OF tr1um-
phant success as 1t was during It's
first week last February.
At first people came to see the
plav as something of freak. at
tending its performances In the
spirit of a lark, of gong on an
excursion, and witnessing a play
from $50 in the afternoon until
IL at night, with a dinner inter-
mission of an hour anc quarter,
is something on the order OF an
excursion trip. But tnis interest
in the play as a freak can no
longer be admitted as the reason
for the great interest in 1t. The
dramatic intensity of the story
of Nina Leeds struggle for hap
piness and her enfolding OF the
lives of three men to find 1t,
must be ascribed as the real rea.
son for the interest in the play.
This role of Nina Leeds, is one
of the longest in dramatic itera-
fture, and one of the finest MS
trionic opportunities. so that
countless actresses have declared
their desire to play it. But the
Theater Guild has chosen Pauline
Lord, who was called by SYM
postum of New Yolx critics Amer
ica's greatest actress to play this
exacting role. In her appearance
at the National in Strange In
terlude," Miss Lord will be sup
ported by Harry c. Bannister,
Ralph Morgan. Donald Macdonald,
Helen Ann Hughes and others OF
a typicaIly fine theater guild cast.

NCOpyTlRQC, 1873, OnlLeQ FEeSSJ
The "Bolt-Smith" movement in
the South is noisy and fiery, but
scattered. Small groups have Or
ganized. but are not being drawn
together under one leader.
Given a vivid, iorceful leader who
had the attraction of a William
Jennings Bryan, the movement
might become cohesive and effec-
tive. No such leader has appeared.
Southern Democrats who are Or
ganizing for Governor Smith say
that none will appear, and predict
the movement will diminish toward
election and do little.
Others are not so sure when they
scan the fires from the small camps
pitched about the horizon. The bolt
forces are directed largely by Prot
estant ministers and there is a reli-
gious fervor about their activity.
There is nc denying the ministers
have considerable influence among
their groups.
Chiefs Not Worried
Merchants along the principal
streets in Montgomery, Ala, have
hung signs on their department
store fronts:
Never yet voted wet"
Such symbols of feeling have
caused some alarm in Alabama
among Democrats, but organization
leaders there are working vigor-
ously to combat such a detection,
and say that the State will be all
right before the election, though
Republicans will poll many votes.
one newspaper editor who has
lived in South Carolina and Florida
and has been in touch with the sit
uation in the South for many years,
presented an interesting view of the
present Anti-Smith activity.
MANY of them" he said, "are
grumbling among themselves in an
effort to find themselves. I think
most of them will get it out of their
systems before election and swing
back to the Democratic fold"
He does not see how Herbert Hoo
yer can carry any of the States in
the old South.
Leaders Lack Experience
Largely directed in an active way
by ministers and church people, the
movement lacks leaders of political
experience. This will handicap it.
Political leaders, with their machine
organizations cooperating, possess

an effectiveness that is missing
from an unorganized effort, however
vociferous it may be.
Only one outstanding southern
leader has given any signs of re-
naming out of line, Senator Furni-
fold M. Simmons of North Carolina.
And he made only feSture.
Other prominent southern leaders
have not come forward with strong
Endorsements of Smith, but many
will stay in line and quietly direct
the campaign for the New York
Governor. In some cases, local
political situations are debating
their decision against open pro-
nouncementS at this time.
Bishop Fights Smith
Most active in the campaign
against Smith is Bishop James Cal
non, Jr., of Richmond, of IT,
Southern Methodist Church. He is
the prime mover to date. He started
by organizing the Asheville confer
ence of dry church leaders, and is
extending his activities now to
other parts of the South, most re-
Gently in Florida. He makes
speeches and issues statements, and
already has come into open con-
troversy with national leaders.
Contrasting with the activities Of
Cannon and other Methodists is the
general statement issued by Bishop
Warren A. Gambler Of Georgia,
Methodist leader in the South, warn
ing Methodists that it is the policy
