Mrs. Hibbard to
Act With Stock

Mrs. Addie Hibbard, one of the
most popular actresses ever to ap-
pear on the boards of Washing
ton theaterdom, has joined
forces with the National Theater
Players and will return to the
scenes of her earlier triumphs
shortly after Easter. The Ma.
tional Theater Players plan to
open their eighth annual spring
and summer season the week of
April II.
In making the announcement
of Mrs. Hibbard's return to Wash
ington, S. e. Cochran, manager
of the National Theater Players,
said: "The company would not
be quite the same without Addie
Hibbard. She has endeared her.
self to Washington theatergoers.
They think of her in terms of
real affection. With the possible
exception of the late Minnie
Maddern FiSke, I know of no
American actress who has the
faculty of winning hearts over
the footlights as Mrs. Hubbard
does. She was with the company
at the very beginning, eight
seasons ago, and I hope she re.
turns here each season for many
years to come"

Gilbert wrote himself and natur-

opportunity to regain some of the

meager boxoffice battalion.
For Monta Bell it will also mark
real attempt to come back into

Arliss Is Superb

To me the most remarkable
actor in pictures is named George
ArlisS. I say this because with
out looks, figure or youth, he
checks in with the most tech
nically perfect and satisfying per-
forrnances offered by the screen
and Man Who Played God" at
the Metropolitan Theater is here
to prove it. Arliss does it with
a marvellous 81 eaking voice. an
abundance of that vague quality
known as personality, complete
knowledge of the art of acting.
Couple these assets with good
stories and it is no mystery why
he is the most productive finan-

promising her everything from
the Brooklyn Bridge to one of
Peggy Joyce's garters. The kid
didn't give him the slightest en-

nod her head and close and
open those tremendous eyes.
He took her home that night to
the furnished room on Second

her family. And he promised to
call for her at the theater in
his car the following night.
