POLI7AN OPERA STARS ENTRALN FOR SEASON ON ROAD
'HEROD' NEXT
BYCOLUMBIA
ACTORS

The Columbia Players announce
that they will return to Wardman
Park Theater, where year ago
they stirred mirthful memories OF
the early days of the temperance
movement with Ten Nights in a
Bar Room" for their last produc-
ton for the season. The play will
be "Herod," by Stephen Phillips,
and the date for the production is
May 2.
Robert Chase, winner Of the
prize as the best individual actor
in the Drama Guild tournament,
who plays the name part, has ex-
changed the black and ferociouS
mustachioS of the gambler in 'Ten
Nights" for the more regal but no
less evil whiskers Of the ill-Starred
king who manages to poison most
of his relatives before the curtain
goes down.
The play by Stephen Phillips
was produced by Sir Beerbohm
Tree in England, and in this coun-
try the title role was played by
william FaverSham. It is one Of
the most elaborate undertakings
which the Columbia Players have
made in some time. It includes
special dance numbers, and Mrs.
Robert Patterson, Of Cleveland
Park, has been engaged as a spe-
cial guest artist to arrange these
numbers and to appear in a solo
dance as well.
'Herod" is quite a departure in
the Columbia Players repertoire.
They won the play tournament
last year and this year with melo-
dramatic sketches. They revivei
Ten Nights in a Bar Room" last
year and favored this years sea-
son with Shaw'S Great Catha-
rine," but "Herod" is the first
poetic drama they have attempted
for some years. This play was
chosen because, besides its literary
value, it has plenty of action and
character, in which the Columbia
Players seem to specialize.
Aurora Poston is directing the
play and special costumes are be-
ing made.
