reached Wednesdays opening prices. Any

cotton bought under such circumstances is

NATIONAL PLAYERS-"Square
Crooks"

When the curtain goes up on Square
Crooks the melodramatic comedy to be
presented by the National Theater Play
ers for the week beginning tomorrow
night, patrons of the e street playhouse
viii see one of the Strangest dramatic
connections of recent years. This is a
new kind Of crook play, yet the thrills
and heart-rending emotions of old-time
melodrarna are there, although it Is es-
sentially q comedy. Written by James
p judge. Square Crooks" ran for a
long period in Days and the Maxine
Elliott Theaters, New York. This is its
first visit to Washington.
Square Crooks" was written with the
idea that the old adage, once a crook,
always a crook" is intrinsically wrong,
at least In some cases. 1t concerns two
Young men who once followed careers
not in accord with the conventions.
They were crooks. but decided later to

and Larry, his pal, is in love with
friend Of Eddie's wife. In their attempt
70 lead decent lives, they are frustrated
by tireless detective who causes Eddie
to lose his position as chauffeur to a
wealthy man when valuable string OF
pearls is stolen. Indeed, suspicion natu-
rally fastens on Eddie and Larry, and
10 make matters worse, the pearls turn
I'D ia their home, although they are in
T1ocent of any crime. The situation is
sim further complicated when they are
forced 70 haybor an escaped murderer,
who threatens to expose them unless
he Is shielded from the police. Thus q
highly melodramatic moment is thrown
into the play and things look mighty

A Main Street Revival

King as famous as she is, the National
PLAYERS have never before had such an
experience as followed the coming OF
the new leading lady to their midst.
And ali because Of what? Simply the
fact that Edith King and Helen wal
lace. whom all Washington knows and
admirers, are both graduates OF the Main
street of the same town and that town,
Whitehaven, Pa.
Edith's first great gesture at her very
first rehearsal here was a dive at and
a long embrace of Helen, who mao
met since the parting OF the ways
back in---well, what does II matter? But
Ii was a long while ago.
And since the reunion the air that
bathes the old National has been flled
with Oh my desrs," "Oh. but it's good
TO see yous" and such terms OF warm
endearment, for all the world knows
that it takes its Main streets 10 en-
gender friendships that last, affections
that never die.
And now between the "Oh, dearies"
and Yes, dearies" and the nunberless
inquiries as to old friends, old ties, old
mansions and all the odd things" that
Whitehaven ever held, Director Pitt. In
a deSpairing voice, with heavy signs,
means and means, God bless you. when

back to the cues of the play" which
after all. are really quite as important
in a way as the amenities OF Main

No oficial declaration has thus 1ar
been heard from Manager Cochran
that the National Players have imported
a new leading woman, Miss Editn
King, q charming young American
actress who made her debut In Marie
OdiIe," that exquisite idyll that David
Helasco attached to the never-to-pe
forgotten repertory Of Frances Starr
But the fact remains that Miss King
will henceforth oficiate in that ca
nacitv for the National Players, due TO
one of those exigencies that constantly
arise in stock work to sadden admirers
and at the same time TO open oppor-
tlInities for others to win admiration.
Miss King is not unknown to WASH
ington theatergoers, for she has APP
reared here in Boomerang" IN BAD,
With Miss Helen Hayes, and In quite
number OF other plays. She had the
distinction Of creating the leads IN New
York of "Thank-U' and Blind YOUTH
She also had leading roles in sucn
Broadway productions as "Daddies,
Pipes of Pan" and My Lady FRIENDS
Her stock experience has been quite
extensive also, and she Is favorably,
almost affectionately, remembered Tor
her talents In Richmond, Atlanta,
Paterson, n j.; Providence, r. l.: Port
land, Me; Columbus, Ohio; Omaha,
Nehr., and In Detroit with the famous
Jessie Bonstslle.

Sir Edwin Arnold has exquisitely
suggested the beauty of the Tai Mahal
In the following quotation from his
poetic treasury:
"As when some face so divinely fair
unveils before our eyes some woman
beautiful, unspeakably, and the blood
quickens and the spirit leaps, and the
will to worship bends the half-yielded

so is the Tai"

with an all-Hindu cast (the same play

Asia" which was shown here not so
very long ago and at the Little Theater)
weaves around the Tai Mahal a love
story that Is said to have its thrills its
moments of exquisite loneliness and.
perhaps, cloud of the tragedy of life.
The construction Of the Tai Mahal is
closely involved with its climax, the

a new kind Of "talkie" that you will

Instead of using the conventional

pageantry and rapid fire action he

This he has accomplished by an
original use of music and sound effects

the story Is pictured in the swift tempo

OF enough ado has been made
about the sudden passing of
Mr.. Jed Harris as one Of the
theater's principal miracle men.

- bLlIdVCi M AtCApaI uth aNiC HILL
With no word of warning to
Broadway's art lovers, Mr.. Harris has
discharged his troupe of assistant ex-
perts. shut the doors OF his atelier and
taken an abrupt departure-from the
scene of his successes. Usually when
showmen retire they issue valedictories
eXcusing their abdication AS they wash
up after their labors they explain through
the newspapers their reasons for doing
So These. as a rule. are sufficient. But
Mr. Harris has tiptoed away from
Times Square, not giving 1t the Gus
tomary two weeks notice. Just when
all of us were depending upon him for
much of our next seasons happiness
he walks out on us without even blow
ing a farewell kiss. No editorials have
celebrated his exit Columns that used
TO sing hallelujahs for Broadway" and
THE Front Page" are mum as their
weary producer packs his tool chest and
calls 1t day.
Mr.. Harris should not be permitted
thus to stink in privacy from the hip
podromes he has glorified so satisfac-
torily. /, for one, propose to toot upon
my bugle some mournfuI taps for his
disappearance. He gave us a bully
show or two. and whenever play was
announced as "a Jed Harris produc-
ton" we were assured that it would be
a vivid and bravado approximation

even Serena Blandish" added consid-

lapses from polite behavior He al

might have been decent melcdrama
