And those who go to the National
beginning Monday night will see
perfect running. flawless per-
Torrance. The rough edges which
invariably surround a show dur.
ing the opening week and detract
from the total enjoyment have. in
this case, long ago been ironed
out. THE Three-Musketeers" as
now played and sung is a treat for
both eye and ear.
Dennis King as the dashing
D'Artagnan, quick to fight and
quick to love, both acts and sings
superbly. He is a prime Washing
ton favorite who certainly will be
accorded a warm welcome back.
The two favorite prima donnas-
Yvonne D'Arle and Vivienne Sc
gal will again vie for top notes.
The comedy honors, and plenty
of them. belong almost solely to
Lester Allen, the diminutive
comedian who scores heavily as
the pathetic little Planchet, valet
Another Washington favorite is
Joseph Macaulay. the Aramis, who
so beautifully sings the touching

have not forgotten include Regi.
maid Owen. who brilliantly acts
the Cardinal Richelieu, Douglass
r. Dumbrille. the Athos, Detmar
Poppen the Porthos, John Clarke,
the Duke of Buckingham, Harriet
Hector, the charming ballerina,
and Louis Hector. Then there
will be Ruth Lyons and William
Kershaw.
Played with gusto and high
spirit by cast that can really
act, this swashbuckling tale Of
Dumas unfolds an intensely inter-
esting plot-something rare in
musical comedy. Sung by golden
voiced artistes in the principal
roles and trained choruses aug
mented by a really fine orchestra,
the embracing music Of Friml is
delightfully."- rendered.
The advance sale indicates
another tremendous week for the
National. Matinees will be played
on Wednesday and Saturday.
