A Conspicuous Display Of

the scene with nothing to do con-
corning the story excepting to re-
mind the eye that the place and
people have customs very ancient
and all their own, and yet none
which exempt them from the
cruel heartpangs common to all
mankind. Despite much excellent
acting, the burden of responsible
ity is placed Squarely upon one
woman, who has the gift of
throwing herself completely into
the spirit of Sorrowing woman
hood. There are symbols and
temple gongs aplenty, but the
heart throb sounds over them all.
Another touch of the exotic
much nearer contemporary interest
was contributed by '"Ta Bouche, -
which came on from the Paris
musical stage without taking the
trouble to translate itself. The
custom of presenting foreign
plays in the original tongue has
grown amazingly, and to arrive at
a thorough appreciation of the

sense, but a considerable skill as
a linguiSt. The spirit Of gay

when it might have served slight

the merciless spirit depicted as

From time to time the National
Theater stock company performs
a pleasant service by reaching
into the archives and bringing to
attention some half-forgotten
manuscript. A hint of Pancho

cal revelation of generous extrav-
agances to which an outlaw may
go when he feels sense of per-

saw talking pictures made more ex-
pert in their blending Of movement and

genius and popularity are not at the
moment incredible, should sacrifice her

understanding of one who has hereto

by Mrs. Fishes brilliant and occasionally

Truths Of the Theater.

MANAGERS and critics of the the
alter may differ in their opinions
as to its ultimate destiny, its power for
good or evil, its place in the affairs of
men, but there are some truths con-
corning its most loyal patron-woman-
kind-that no one with even doubtful
vision Of the earth mole will ever deny.
Long before the days when the heart
rending appeal Of East Lynne was
ever dreamed of, it was an established
fact that woman adores a play that
can make her weep; and the more de-
mand 1t puts upon her sympathetic
tear ducts the more she likes it. Now
It isn't common sense to say that women
like to be miserable, but tears are not
always evidence of misery. And the
tears woman sheds oyer a character
or situation in play that makes her
weep are not testimony that she Is I'M
happy. They are, rather, the strongest
evidence that something has touched
In Ger nature that which of all things
lifts her above the rest of creation and
makes her the idol of mankind. And
when a woman is her real self, she is
happy, even though her tears may how
In abundance.
The theater has established also the
fact that woman is unique creature
of curiosity, and when that curiosity Is
once aroused, she Is going to satisfy il
to the limit. This fact accounts for
the large feminine attendance in the
theater, especially when there is the
slightest semblence of mystery as to
the character of the play, even when
the mystery extends into the forbidden
1t does not follow by any means that
she approves the play, its theme, or any
Of its dubious qualities. But she wants
to be as wise as anybody else about the
things of life that she has never en-
countered or of which she knows but
little. If anything. 1t is her desire fol
the knowledge and not by any means
o desire for participation in things that
are tlnwholesonne.
And there Is a third truth that has
been irrevecahJy established BY the

theater, but by the Universal Pictures
Corporation. which sponsors it, to make
the evening a memorable one.
1t will be recalled that a notable
premiere of .Show Beat" was recently
staged in Miami, Fla, before gather
ing of distinguished guests, with Florenz
Ziegfeld himself as the master OF
ceremonies, and with Miss Helen Nor
gan, star of the stage production OF
SHOW Boat" as one of the prominent
perSonages present.
The picture is musical, speaking
adaptation of the famous Ziegfeld stage
production, in which Joseph Schild-
kraut is the Ravenal, Laura La Plante
the Magnolia and Otis Harlan, famous
in his day and generation, is the
Captain Andy of the stage shows rep
lica, ssuperproduction made under
the personal supervision Of Ziegfeld and
Laemmle. It Is said to be striking In
its blending of story, plot, music and
song.
The performance will begin at $50
pm, and the audience is expected to be
one of the utmost distinction in the
social and diplomatic circles Of the
National Capital.
SHOW Boat" had its premiere in New
York and $40 a seat was the price Of
admission on that occasion.

theater, and that Is that woman's
naturally timid nature delights in tast-
ing even terror at times. It is not that
she Graves to be frightened out of her
wits, but when something really does
frighten her almost out Of her wits she
strangely finds q happy contentment
in it.
Manager Steve Cochran, wise in his
day and generation, wise as an old owl
that has haunted the dark and dismal
places inhabited only by the shades Of
the ancients, the halls of ruined castles,
the haunted spots of Wondering grave
yards, In spite of the rosy flush of
youth upon his bullying cheeks, and in
spite of years that must have been
busy ones Of investigation, however
vain they may have been In whitening
his locks. bearing in mind two of these
great truths established by the theater,
Is again putting them to the test with
his production for the current week.
He knows what 1.-THE Bat" did; he
knows what 1.-THE Gorilla" did; he re-
members what Bulldog Drummond"
did, and his memory Is more than
fresh on 1.-The Canary Murder Case"
and others of that dramaturgical ilk.
And so he is now introducing what he
believes to be the peer of them all, If
not greater than them all. And this
week, with all the skill and tinesse Of
his National Theater Players, he filings
at his woman patrons all the gruesome
, horror and terrors of the final resting
place of men and women long forgot
ten, but habited with everything that
can make the feminine soul cringe with
terror and the feminine vocal pipe peal
with shrieks land all to make his
wnnnan natrofiS l1aDDy.

A THEATER season that has
~ been cratic in many re-
a SpectS made a very distinct
4 n departure from the usual
in reserving for a very late dem
onstration perhaps the most pow
erful drama that New York could
present in this city. "Congai"
travels some pathways of human
interest which have become fas-
cinatingly familiar and close in
appeal to sympathy since the day
when Asia and it's people were
such entire strangers that even so
scholarly a wit as w. S. Gilbert
permitted himself to select the
august Mikado "as a source of in
nocent merriment.
~ ~
The production of "Congai" was
made by Sam Harris, who put
Rain" on the stage, and there
are traces of relationship in the
method of stage handling. This play
is o far cry from the times when
the chronological n1agnificences of
strange lands were utilized only
by the librettiSt. We now must
take our wang" and our Cam
bodians" in the spirit of deep and
serious tragedy, and make the &C
quaintance with our fellow men
not in a spirit of masquerading
gayety, but with the pledge of
earnestness which a teardrop eX-
tends.
The theme of the forSaken love
which animateS Madame Butter
fly is present in this drama of
French Indo-China. But, COM
pared to "Congai," Madame But
tefhy" is only a fragile moth.
Grand opera in unprecedented
splendor might be rendered avail
able if the touch of Puccini could
be summoned to the task of add
ing musical expression to so great
a dramatic theme. With Helen
Menken in the leading role, the
drama needs no melodiouS en-
phaSiS to hold close interest.
without Miss Menken the play
would need all the articles of
vocal finesse and orchestration to
make it as convincing to the
imagination as it stands at
present.
"Congai" ventures upon elabor-
ated splendors of physical detail
which threaten at moments to
overwhelm the poetry with sheer
spectacle. Men and women cross
