THEATRE

Delightful comedy, as only Philip
Barry car write 1t, is now being shown
on the screen Of the Paramount the
atre. The comedy in question Is
Holiday" Pathe's lively and enter
tanning screen adaptation Of the
highly successful play Of the same
name which SO delighted New York
audiences during its long Broadway
engagement two seasons ago. And in
bringing this play to the audible
screen, Pathe has wisely retained the
scintillating and gay dialogue which
Barry originally wrote for this play.
Holiday" tells the story Of two
beautiful sisters, prominent in New
York's society life. One Of them,
Julia, meets and falls In love with
Johnny Case. a carefree young fellow
who has neglected to surround HIM
self with a lot Of money and q family
tree. To top it off, our friend Johnny
believes that the young people should
play and the old people should work.
Johnny has every intention Of
marrying Julia and then with the
$4,000 he has made In the stock
market of setting out on q grand and
glorious holiday while the money
lasts. Such ideas are hardly re-
ceived enthusiastically by Julia's papa.
As q matter Of fact Julia herself
thinks that Johnny should work hard
and make q name for himself. Only
Linda, Julia's sophisticated sister, ap-
plauds Johnny's point Of view. Lindas
for Johnny and makes no effort to
hide It.
Ann Harding as the Linda who
knows q good man when she sees one
is charming and delightful in q role
that seems made to order for her.
And Mary Aston, as Julia, is what the
author asked for. Robert Ames, last
seen with Gloria Swanson in THE
Trespasser," Is carefree and believable
as the Johnny Case who wants to
retire at the ripe old age Of Is.
Holiday" was directed by Edward
Griffith, who recently directed Paris
Bound"

0PERAHERE

NOIlllIlS 10 IllOI dCllSllb1 vi
for afternoon opera than the
colorful Carmen" of Georges
Bizet. In the English tranSla-
ton as given by the American
Opera Company at Polls
Theater yesterday afternoon it
takes on added attraction.
This is the opera in which
Bettina Hall is so perfectly cast
as the captivating girl of the
cigarette factory. Miss Hall
won to herself a great amount
of praise when she appeared in
the role last season. To say
that she duplicated her excel
lenCe in this years perform
anCe adequately compliments
the lady. There are few Car
mems in operatic history, who
have more fire and vivacity
than this bewitching little
American girl.
Charles Hedley proved a
most satisfactory Jose. In this
part he took advantage of the
dramatic moments and oppor-
tunlties to really do some
worthy vocal work.
Nancy McCOrd was intro
duced for the first tins in the
lovable character of Micaela,
the little country elrl whose
love for the Spanish soldier
does not die even after he
deserts her for the Gypsy en-
chantreSs. Miss McCorG and
Mr.. Hedley were splendid part
ners in the several duets
which make the opera particu-
larly popular
The choral work deserves
mention as artistic and har-
monious.
AS a memorable and ap-
propriate finale to the series
last night the artists selected
Faust" the great lyric drama
by Gounod which is adjudged
by all critics to be CEe crown
jewel of the American company.
Natalie Hall resumed the lead
as Marguerite. This role has
made Miss Hall famous. She
is everything in appearance
and voice that one ConCeiVes
of the frail heroine.
John MonCrieff as Mephis-
topheles did a fine piece Of
character delineation. His rich
voice carried to the full all the
enchantment Of 3inistry which
his role suggests.
Frederick Roberts as Faust
the Philosopher and Clifford
Newdall as Faust the Cavalier
create for the audience a char,
acter that will not soon die.
These two singers have done
splendid work throughout the
series and rightly deserved to
share the honors with Miss
Hall and Mr.. MonCrieff after
their effective demonstrators
in the immortal tragedy of
Goethe.
Helen Golden readily adapted
herself to the portrayal of
Martha, a vital contributor to
the general perfection of the
performance.
Mark Daniels as Valentine
and Louis Yaeckel as Slebel
sang in commendaole fashion.
Once again we found the
scenic and costume effects one
of the principle attributes in
the Am erican presentation
This organization has religl-
ouSly carried out its original
intent of dramatizing opera and
we find their efforts to be
wholly worthy of their aSpira-
tions.
The music under the direc-
ton of Isaac Van Grove at
tanned great heights and
brought the endeaVors of the
singers to a glorious climax
Washington enjoyed the series
that concluded in such splendid
manner and will welcome an
other opportunity to attend
opera in American style.
