FRENCH FARCE
IS SMARTLY
RISQUE

An opalescent French farce, de-
licious in its risque raillery-quite
the best example Of Gallo drama
turgy that Washington has seen
in a long, long time-is "A Kiss OF
Importance" which Arch Selwyn
presented at the National Theater
last evening.
It abounds in those sparkling
twists and turns Of the familiar
love triangle in which Partisan
playwrights are so expert. It's basic
material is the stuff in which
Parisians delight-the young wlfe,
the elderly husband, the young
lover-in this case the paid ard
the Cardboard" lover-who np-
pears upon the Sene.
Has New Facets
If you thing 1t is beyond the
power of the mercurial and bril-
liant French writer's for the thea
ter to flash any new facets with
this rather ancient and tried-ano-
true material, you are wrong. "A
Kiss Of Importance" we are again
reminded that 1t is the manner,
the mood, rather than the matter,
which counts in the playhouse;
also, that farcical filigree Of
amour need not be emasculated
in its passage across the Atlantic
to be presented to American audi
enceS.
"A Kiss Of Importance" has a
few spots in which its fun lagS;
but the play as a whole Is so
coyly and deftly risque, so spark
ling in its touch-and-go quality,
that it easily takes rank as one
of the real treats of the season.
The new piece has cast, also,
which can truly be called one Of
distinction, and to which much
of it's success is due. Basil Rath-
bone, heretofore leading man
who has won honorS in both
Hollywood and Broadway. appears
as it's star, and his portrayal Of
the role of Christian, the paid
role, reveals a farcical fluency in
his acting which few of his ad-
mirers suspected that he pos
sessed. He catches the Calls
spirit of the farce without in any
way OVERRIDING it.
Ann Andrews Effective
Ann Andrews, eye-filling and
colorful, proves herself an actress
of genuine comedy finesse in the
role of Isabelle, the young wife
who resorts to whimsical strata
gem to obtain a divorce which, in
the finale, she decided she didn't
want.
The other leading roles are
handled by Frederick Kerr, fresh
from his hard-won honors in
Hollywood; Montagu Love, also
a Hollywoodian. who did excel
lent work as the aging husband,
and by Ivan Simpson, in the
part of Dupin.
If you have a weakness for
French farce of the highest quail
ity do not miss "A Kiss of I'm
portance." It's rapier thrust Of
fun will prove exhilirating.

SHOW BOAT
DRAMA

The water slapped against the
side of the boat. Somewhere down
the Potomac river whistle
sounded into the clear night air.
A small curtain on a small stage
lifted and Gossip" was begun
aboard the original Show Boat,
the James Adams Floating Thea
ter, in Alexandria.
Floating down divers inland
waterways each year, playing to
different audiences each week,
seeing constantly changing shore
lines, the cast of the famous
Show Boat, from which Edna
Ferber gathered her setting for
her play Of that name, has
cleaned a wealth Of experience
which would ordinarily make pro-
fessional players of any group Of
actors.
But, to reIate the truth, among
the cast of nine actors, one mime
earned, by virtue of last nights
performance, the title Of actor.
His name is Tim Lester, cast IN
the play as Deacon Peas, the only
church director, who despite his
10 odd years enjoys his oath and
pretty women.
Have River Experience
The story takes place in a
small town, where, it is revealed,
the men are more prone to gossip
than the women. And the more
they gossip, the more trouble
they conceive.
Beulah Adams, playing the
charming ingenue, a bad alttle
girl, who. sauces her father and
uses slang and smokes cigarettes
is cut out to play the part of a
more sedate lady. not a part re-
quiring a slim miss. Charles M.
Hunter, handsome young pastor,
who proves to his community
that the wicked gossip is all
wrong, fails to carry off many
Thespian honors. although, as
Edna Ferber suggested, he is no
doubt a very charming person.
To add a bit of big-time vaude-
vile to the program, the manage
ment produces for your benefit
a between the act" number with
Jewel and Jack Ray, big-time
comedians who. crack wise and
play the accordion and violin
respectively. Jack, incidently, is
a native of Washington and a
trick violinist who crawls into all
manner of positions to extract a
tune from his instrument.

PIRANDELLO'S DRAMA
GIVEN PREMIERE
Nv ANDREW r. KELLEY

"As You Desire Me-" the first
Of a series of plays by Luigi Pr.
andello, eminent Italian play
wright, which the Messrs. Shu'
bert will offer this season, was
given its American premiere at
the Belasco Theater last night.
The adoption Of this italian
drama is attributed to Dmitri
Ostrov, and I fear 1t has lost
something In the translation.
The boldness in dramatic treat.
ment which we are assured is
characteristic of Pirandello scrips,
Is evident, and a heavy sombre
mood spreads itself over three
long acts. But there is a woe
full lack of action incident, and
after the first flush Of excitement
in the opening melodramatic mo-
ments, the play resolves itself into
q guessing contest with the an.
swer last night unseemingly pro-
longed.
Scarcity Of Action
"As You Desire Me" concerns
the effort Of a cabaret dancer Of
low morals, to pass herself off as
the missing wife Of Bruno Pieri
who disappeared while their home
was being pillaged by invading
troops. An artist friend of the
family, struck by a remarkable
resemblance is sure that the
dancer is Lucia, the missing wo.
man. He prevails upon the girl
to come to Bruno's home where
she is accepted as one of the
family. Bruno convinces himself
for q while that she is indeed his
lost spouse since there are prac,
tical reasons why he should desire
it so.
BY surrounding Lucia's early
history with doubt. the playwright
contriveS to raise an audience ap-
prehenSion as to whether she
might not actually be the woman
she pretends to. be and not q
masquerader. In endeavoring to
sustain this suspense, LAS You De
sire Me" becomes not a little dull.
to flame briefly as Lucia un
tangles the knotty threads in the
plot and explains her deception.
Imposing Settings
The rounded art of Judith Ar.
derson and a uniformly compe,
tent cast fails to make this Piran,
dello dramatic exhibit an absorb,
ing adventure in mixed identity
There are lines of outSpoken
frankness about characters with
bestial tendencies but more
interesting was the facility of
the actress in portraying a lady
of the lower Stratas filled to the
neck with champagne. Jose
Ruben, Charles Trowbridge, Vera
G. Hurst, Phillip Leigh and
Charles Dalton gave their best to
the other important roles.
Lawrence Harston directed the
play, Watson Barrett designed
two imposing settings and the
Messrs. Shubert have provided a
dignified production.

Donahue Clicks

. Joe Donahue tackled an ambi-
tious chore in his first movie as
signment, that of leading man
for Marilyn Miller in Sunny"
The general opinion is that he
gets away with it neatly, in fact,
those who have an opportunity
to- compare what he offers on
the stage of the Earle Theater
this week and what he shows on
the screen are inclined to believe
that his forte is Hollywood.
At any rate First National Is
quite satisfied with his movie
work and this jaunt over the
movie circuits Is scheduled to
end by January /. when he re-
ports at the studio for his second

Tanning Down Acts

What goes on Broadway is
often too strong for Washington
audiences. Some of the. Earl

rect from the R-K-O ace house
to the Earle Theater could stand
for having their humor de
odorized. Ken Murray, Ted Healy
and now Belle Baker, to call
names. The last named Sunday

not differentiate between the

Claiming that any Psychologist is pathology

Philo Vance shaped his course upon this theory
when searching for the murderer of Benjamin

OF her family; the man HAM, and two young
associates of BliSs-theSe make up the group
out of which Vance is to draw the murderer.
A complicated motive for the crime comes
vaguely into view. To bring this into definite
clarity is one of Vances tasks. A vast deal
of Egyptian lore craven upon the objects col
lected in the Bliss museum adds greatly to the
scholarly atmosphere of the entire movement.
There are TRANSACTIONS and footnoteS and other

WHY STAY WE HERE? BY George Goodwin,
author Of 1.-THE Eternal Forest" New York:
D. Appleton g. Co.
THE new order of war story, the kind that,
within the past two years, has been the
rule is calculated to be wars deaSIiest foe and
condemnation These new records are almost
a routine Of dispassion, of painstaking
enumeration of each days habit from dawn to
dark Interludes between battle, between at
tack on the one hand and final giving away
on the other. Yet both combat and respite
receive the same dry recording without shade
of emotion-patriotiSm, personal heroisn, or
any other of the brands of fiction that sup
port wars Wounds and hospitals and amputa-
tons and the rest of the CHASTITY matter-these,
too, stand here in the stodgy sobriety of going
to work in the morning, coming home at
night in world of peace Yet how tremend-
ously effective just this attitude Is, just this
mode of recounting is. why Stay We Here?"
represents these later war books at their best
of impressive tragic recording. The hero Of
the novel is village youth from British

Cean-cut simple essentials stand here. And
from them breatheS the spirit of that partic-

looking off upon the great and beautiful land,
the broken boy feels himself mending, the
indomitable spirit Is reviving. and he takes hold
