the counter attraction Of the sound bio.
ture. The quality Of his present com.
pany clearly indicates that the sound
picture has not absorbed all the fne
actors and actresses Of the stage, even
though 1t Is not always possible to se-
cure individual players whose local
popularity might make them desirable.
He states also that there has been no
abatement In his patronage; that there
has been no lessening of salaries, no
cheapening Of his productions In any
manner whatsoever. that he has just
as many members In his company as
ever and that the royalties for the
plays he presents run about the same
as in former years. Right now, he
claims. his company Is doing the big
gest business In the matter Of box
once receipts OF any stock company
In the country. But-and his troubles
In nutshell are summed UP In that
but.
Never since the National Players
came into existence, says Mr.. Cochran,
has the box ONCE in the months Of
July and August shown q profit. New.
erthelesS, he says, the profits shown In
the preceding months have always been
satisfactorily sufacient to warrant the
continuation Of performances in July
and August, not at loss, but with an
even break" TO quote him exactly.
During the 10 weeks of operation Of
the company this season, however, the
increased cost of the musicians he was
obliged to employ. although he really
did not need and did not desire any,
and the increased demands of his stage
employees, not including the players, Of
course. have imposed upon him an in
creased cost of operation amounting
approximately to $4,000, an overhead
just that far ahead of any previous
season. This, he states, makes it utter
ly impossible to continue through July
and August, except at q serious loss,
and this really Is why he Is closing his
stock season with the last performance
of Rain" next Saturday evening.
As there is no probability that these
expenses may be curtailed in the slight
est degree in the future, 1t will readily
be seen that the reopening of the COM
pany August IL, while possible, Is very
far from probable. Moreover and look
ing further ahead, 1t raises the sad sug-
gestion that the National Players who
have been so popular In Washington
during their I'VE seasons have reached
the end of their rope and that their
reappeararce even next season II at
least doubtful.

NATIONAL PLAYERs--.Rain. :.

-
John Colton's dramatic adaptation Of
2 short story by Somerset Vaughan in
the play called Rain. will be the at
traction at the National Theater this
week, beginning tomorrow night.
In the last five years Rain has
been widely discussed. 1t was the star
ring vehicle for Jeanne Eagels for two
successive seasons on Broadway and
afterwara on an extensive tour of the
country. In the role Of Sadie Thomp-
son, Miss Eagels won her fame, This
same role will be played by Edith King
OF the National Theater Players, who
has played it in other cities and on the
road. The play Is so well known that 1t
needs no description. A hypocritical
missionary, apparently bent upon per-
scouting the wayward sadie Thompson.
falls victim to her wiles.
In Rain" 1t Is announced, the Ma
tional Theater Players are undertaking
one Of the most difficult productions Of
their careers. The characters in the
play are clear-cut and definitely drawn,
and the locale Of the story is Page
Pago, an island In the Far Pacific. An
1ncessant rain Is an outstanding fea-
ture OF the atmosphere. This steady
downpour Of rain throughout the &C.
ton OF the play has called forth
extraordinary effort to give realism to
the scene. The stage set erected for
this purpose is said to be an exact
duplicate Of the original used by the
Jeanne Eagels company and one Of the
most costly ever to be put on the stage
of the National.
Addison Pitt, the director, has given
special consideration to the assignments
OF the cast. Edward Arnold will be the
innkeeper. the fat, slouchy creature who
sits in front of the inn in Page Page
spending most of his time in tanning
the hies away. Mrs. Hibbard, Charles
Hampden and Helen Wallace also will
be featured.
Matinees will be given Wednesday
and Saturday.
