"The Desert Song" which. with tt
romantic story and its haunting nielo.
dies, has entranced many audiences
during the last year or two, has re-
turned to Washington for weeks run
at Polls Theater. Its first appearance
here was under the title of "The Red
Shadow" and the Red Shadow" Is
still the chief figure in the story Of this
operetta.
Notwithstanding the fact that two
leading parts were filled by under
| studies, the production moved forward
last night with verve and enthusiasm
The music Is delightful and the pro-
ducers have collected chorus that can
really sing. The management -
usually plays the part of Capt. Paul
Fortaine, had been drafted to fill the
part of Pierre Biraheau, son Of the
governor of a French Moroccan prov
ince. This Pierre is the Red Shad-
ow," who causes so much consterna-
ton among the French by his support
Of the Riffs Alexander Grey, who has
been cast for this part Of Pierre, was
summoned to Chicago to attend fu-
neral. Miss Bernice Claire. described
as the star Of The Desert Song" also
was absent from the cast. owing to an
automobile accident. not to her
self, but to her brother. Both these
principals, the management announced,
would return to the company within a
day or two.
Miss Charlotte Lansing last night
took the place Of Miss Claire. She was
no mere stopgap. Her voice and acting
were entirely enjoyable. Mr.. Douglas,
1aSC iV4fn fI0f af
Mr. Grey, put 1t across without a falter.
The music of THE Desert Song" was
composed by Sigmund Romberg. who
has to his credit many score for musi-
cal comedy and light opera. In 1.-THE
Desert Song" Mr.. Ronberg has struck a
high note. The score calls for much
work on the part Of the chorus, par
ticularly the male chorus, and the COM
pany last night proved equal to the de-
mands.

ranges from Paris to the Moroccan

Oddly enough il seems that the
characteristic which handicapped him
as a big league prospect has stood
him in good stead as a manager.
willed and a fighter. With these at
tributes il was hard for him to knuc-
kle down to the orders Of Miller
Higgins and his henchmen. This
righteousness got him into trouble
when he dropped into the minors.
His first stop, outside of the big
show, was at Harrisburg. After q
season there as n player he moved to
Scranton to become manager of that
club. IL was while in Scranton that
