National Ski Meet

Brattleboro. VT, Feb. 16.-R)-
Sports to early day Americans in the
main meant baseball in the summer
and ski jumping in the winter.
Baseball still Is the principal sum-
ner sport. Yet they have put masks
and pads on the catchers and gloves
on the other players and the batter
swings ct what he gets instead OF
at what he wants.
But skiing still is in its original
form. They can't change it as a con-
test. The experts hook their feet to
q pair Of narrow strips of thin wood
and take off from hill side. That's
ski jumping, or riding. The modern
lists call it riding.
Anyway the ski experts, using the
same simple equipment Of their FORE
fathers. will converge on Brattleboro,
Feb. q and %. for the National Ski
Association championships.
There should be some old fashioned
jumping, for the hill is the best cast
Of Denver. It's a slide made to the
liking Of the lovers Of distance jump
Ing. The spectacular jumps Of ITO
feet and better characteristic OF the
Brattleboro chute are great for most
Of the spectators. but are hard on the
advocates Of form.

KEEN JOY WITH
THIS STAGE
PEPYS

The contrast between modern
comedy, so hopelessly sophisti.
Gated in mood and texture, and
that of other and lustier days
notably that of the Restoration
period in old England-is so strik-
ing that It would be- easy to de-
vote a review to the historical
rather than to the dramatic facts
of such quantity delightful
transcription of Samuel Pepys as
And So to Bed" which entered
upon a return engagement for
Washington at Polls last night
This is neither the time nor the
ce, however, to dilate upon the
vast changes of the human scene
which have come since Britain
fought its way out of its first acute
attack of Puritanism. Perhaps the
younger generation of the jazz age
will view this comedy purely from
the standpoint of the antiquarian.
But their elders. who have a sur.
viving touch or two of Victt riar1-
ism in their blood, and who know
what revolution in manners and
morals has come even within theit
lifetime, will find in this. play the
keenest zest nd joy.
These older Washingtonians,
among whom are many inveterate
readers of the immortal Pepys,
were present In force last night to
welcome back to the city the bril-
liant James Bernard Fagan
comedy. Many of them had seen
it before. They returned not only
to reyel in the quaint conceits
and delights of the play once
more, but to observe a clever
and accomplished actress, Eugene
Leontovich, play the part OF Mrs.
Pepys, shrewish wife of the diar-
ist and philanderer, and give new
accent and piquancy to this de-
lightful role. Miss Leontovich
scored decisively and ner playing
won the audience from the start.
Samuel himself was played by
Walter Kingsford. and played
with full justice to the part. The
restoration flavor of the diary
was maintained with fidelity to
the true Pepys' mood. In fact,
the second engagement of And
So to Bed in Washington prom.
ises to be as distinctive an event
of the season" as the first.

NANCY ANDBUD
In A LIVELY
MUSICALE

There is considerable "Close
Harmony" in the MetropolAtan's
second.weeker otherwise Charles
Rogers and Nancy Carroll would
have no little fun making box
office records via the Broadway
fantasy conceived by Elsie Janis
and Gene Markey. At any rate,
Paramounted, the vehicle Is a
ego" and it may have a chance
for a third week here.
There is nothing new about the
story because a lot of actresses
have been known to fall in love
with actors, and vice versa. But
there is a lot new about the way
the Rogers. Carroll team handles
its part of the script, which is no
little.
AS star featured in the big
lights Miss Carroll discovers an
ambitious and energetic music
master in the person of Rogers,
whose road to fame is paved
when Carroll pays off his board
bill to permit him to carry on
with his musical entertainment.
The girl is very interested from
that moment on; maybe because
the lad knows how to make kisses
'stick"-and maybe not.
The girl inveigleS her admirfug
theater manager to give the boy
and his jazz orchestra chance on
the same bill with her. That al"
most finished the romance but
for the managers discovery that
the girl Is in love with the boy.
Then the manager gives the boy
and his orchestra their last meal
ticket and books a famed singing
and dancing duet (played by the
inimitable Jack Oakie and Dick
Gallagherl to take their place on
the bill. The girl steps between
the twin artists and their tempera.
mental differences separate them
to give the boy and his jazz band
another break at $1,000 per
week. That seals the love pact,
and, like all good screen love
stories, everybody's happy ever
after.

IBSEN DR. A M A
EXPERTLY
PLAYED
By ANpREW R. KELLEY


An evening such as Blanche
Yurka in Ibsen's The Wild
Duck" provides makes regret
the keener that the Belasco
Theater will lower the curtain on
the legitimate season next Satur-
day night.
In the cycle of plays which
have passed since the brown of
October leaves, | can recall none
which gave me such unalloyed
enjoyment as this session with
the Scandinavian playwriting
genius. Beautifully cast and
acted with tremendous vigor and
feeling it sends one away from
the theater stimulated and i'm
pressed by a stage lesson In
philosophy.
Ibsen is stark and tragic in
deed and THE Wild Duck" is
heart rending in its emotions at
his dialogue though character
isticaIly stepped in symbolism is
significant and forceful and the
action of the drama consistently
mounts to powerful climax.
Distinctive interpretations OF tne
William Archer translation accent
undercurrents broadly and the
lighter sides are well buttered
but never to the point where the
purpler moods are not dominating.
Nor is the line of cleavage too
violent for smooth motivation.
This story of a servant girl
whose sin of years gone by re.
turns to torment her is obsorh-
ingly interesting. Gina has for
gotten the past and assumes that
the world has forgotten. Then
comes the idealistic Gregers
Werle with mission that seems
to resolve itself into the belief
no sin shall be unconfessed. Only
in confession. mutual confidence
and forgiveness can happiness be
attained is his theory. So ne
forces Gina to drag the skeleton
from the closet, confess to her
boastful and bombastic husband
of her indiscretion and question

A SURE FIRE
CO 0MEDY AT
NATIONAL

William Anthony Maguire's
comedy drama, Its A Boy" as
produced by the National Play
ers last night, is one Of those
sure.fire successes that is certain
to please every follower of this
most capable organization. 1t
serves to introduce to Washing.
ton the new leading man, Arthur
Pryor, whose work last night
gives promise of his ability to
measure up to the high standards
exacted by Maestro Cochran's
capable artists.
It's A Boy" derives its title
from the prologue during which
the son and heir of young
Chester and Phyllis Blake makes
his first appearance upon the
worldly scene. Blake is the prop
rietor Of a five-and.ten store in
Carbondale, Pa, with ambitions to
in time become a second Wool.
worth with a million dollar busi-
ness to leave to his offspring.
But the ambitions of his wife
cause him to sell out to the
great Tracy company and accept
a salaried position with them in
New York, only to discover a
year later-after Phyllis has de-
veloped numerous extravagant-
tastes-that it has all been a ruse
of the octopus company to remove
him from competition and he is
faced with the problem of beginning
all over again.
The role of Blake seems to have
been made to order for Mr.. Pryor,
it fits him so perfectly. He is
young, has a most agreeable per
sonality and doubtless the stage
door at matinees will soon be be.

made her first appearance last

group of admirers. Both, by the
way, were formally introduced
to the audience from the stage
just before the final curtain along
with Edward Arnold, last sea.
sons favorite, who returns to the
company next week.
It Is a bit difficult to comment
on the work of Robert Brister,
who enacts the role of the repre-.
sentative of the trust. His por-
traitures are always so skillful,
so finished. so smooth. that this
tired reviewer fears that he may
be tempted to resort to superla-
tives with Brister's every appear
ance. That irrepressible youngster,
Freddie Sherman too, continues
with his impressive work. Lois
Benson, the new ingenue of the
company, is charming and will
soon have a legion of admirers to
applaud her work If she continues
to give as satisfying a perform.
ance as she did last night.
This weeks play affords Helen
Wallace a characterization of a
"lady heavy" somewhat of a de-
parture from the usual type she
has enacted and it is extremely
we'll done. Those old reliables,
Charles Hampden and Adelaide
Hibbard, are well cast as usual,
and thoroughly satisfactory ac-
count of more minor roles is given
by James Keane, Claus Bogel and
ArthuS Rhodes.

An Appreciation

Where shall / find an epithet
magnificent enough for The Wild
Duck? To sit there getting deeper
and deeper into your own life all
the time until you forget that you
are in theater at all; to look on
with horror and pity at a profound
tragedy. shaking with laughter all
the time at an Irresistible comedy;
to go out, not from a diversion but
from an experience deeper than
real life ever brings to most
men or often brings to any man;
that is what The Wild Duck was
like last Monday at the Globe.
1t is idle to attempt to describe
it, and as to giving an analysis of
the play, I did that seven years ago
and decline now to give myself an
antiquated air by treating as nov
city a masterpiece that all Europe
delights in. Besides, the play is Is
simple as Little Red Ridinghood'
to anyone who comes to it fresh
from life instead of stale from the
theater.-Georke Bernard Shaw,

daughter, Helvig. 1t is all very
pitiful and yet is more overpower-
ing than a. great sermon in send
ing home the lesson of impracti-
cal and futile ideals.
Blanche Yurka's role of Gina
is superbly played with the fine
understanding and voice inflec-
tions which make it throb with
sincerity. Her emotional climax
can be safely indexed as one of
the great moments with a great
actress. Especially commendable
was the selection of Bette Davis,
a talented ingenue with a native
sweetness and spiritual whole
someness that blend ideally into
a loveable character. 1t Is hard,
yea impossible, to resist the ap-
peal of this adolescent artist. Dal-
las Anderson submerged his iden-
tity in the hard-hearted and ego
tistical husband to the point
where he was both irritating and
depressing. Which is the sin
cerest tribute to fine acting. The
musically favored voice of Frank
Monroe made his matter of fact
common sense a delight in the
role of DR.. Relling. John Daily
Murphy was another whose con-
tribution was effective, and Cecil
Clovelly played Gregers Werle as
one would expect a man with his
head in the clouds to act.
The sum total of THE Wild
Duck" is three hours of solid ar
gument against those who see the
talking pictures completely sub.
merging the spoken stage for the
serious theater-goers.
