ington, but of all operettas of re-
cent years it is undoubtedly one
of the few that are destined to
survive, and it is pleasure to
welcome it once more for its brief
engagement at the National The
ater, where it will be offered to-
night and tomorrow matinee and
evening.
It will be succeeded on Thurs
day by an equally ineritoriouS
work, the ever-popular Blossom
Time" whose score is based on
music by Franz Schubert, adapted
by Romberg.
The story of "The Student
Prince" is one that never grows
old. 1t has been told in almost
every artistic medium, but never
in a manner better adapted to it's
romantic mood than in the present
operetta. The love of Prince Carl
Franz for little Kathie. whom he
is forced to renounce for reasons
of state, has a well-nigh universal
appeal and the delightful Rom
berg melodies provide a worthy
setting for the romance.
Best known, perhaps, of all the
members in the large cast now
presenting the operetta at the Ma.
tional is the ever-reliable George
HaSsell, seen here in more pro-
ductions than he could perhaps
total without considerable reflec-
ton. He has, of course, the role
of Lutz, to which the talents of
so many comedians have lent lus-
ter.
Allan Jones is personable
prince, and Gertrude Lang a pc
tite and attractive Kathie. DR..
Engel is played capably by John
Charles Gilbert, aud the many
subsidiary roles arc adequately

chorus, and the production com.

High Paid Star

The highest paid Broadway
actress at the present moment
is Grace Moore in The Du-
barry" She gets $4,000 a week
(not press agent figures), which
is why she is singing in high
class operetta at the George M
Cohan Theater instead of dag,
onally across the street at the
Metropolitan Opera House, The
Met" can't pay such salaries, at
least not every week.
Pretty good for a girl who
took singing lessons from Mrs.
Katie Wilson Greene not so many
seasons ago.
Gorgeous is the word to de.
scribe "The Dubarry." It has
oceans of those hoop skirted cos,
tunes of the Louis XIV period and
is dressed with a richness that
reminds of Ziefeld. Miss Moore
has at least four numbers cal
culated to stir the average pew
holder into sitting up and mar
yelling at a fine voice. over a
singer who cuts loose high notes
without any apparent effort.
The Cohan Theater was two
thirds filled on the floor Friday
night. Good business on the
eve of Christmas eve. But ''Du
Barry" is asking $4.40 fc top
seats and it is probably too high
class to get it for long. I look
to see it at the National in

/ said nothing more. Not a
word.
The entire thing reminds me
of the story of AL Woods. the
theatrical producer, when he
made one of his periodic visits
to London some years back.
AL has always been known for
the fact that he will catch a
boat to Cherbourg or Southamp-
ton at an hours notice. For
no rhyme or reason, he would
get up from the dinner table,
say Il think I'll go to London"
and in two hours he would
be sailing.
Well. on one o. these occa-
SionS, Woods arrived at Plym-
outh without having slanced
at his passport. When it came
time for AL to present his Gre
dentials, the English custom
officer looked up in smazement.
What is this, Mr.. Woods?"
he asked. mot only have you
no visa, but this passport ex-
pired eight months ago!"
That's the kind Of office
force I have" muttered AL.
Il told them to watch those
things. What do you want me
to do about it?"
The officer was very decent.
Take a seat over there" he
said, motioning to a chair in
the corner of the boats largest
reading room. I'll take care
of your case later"

AL sat and sat and sat. The
customs officer finished his
work, left that boat, visited an
other, and then returned some
three hours later.
AS the officer walked by, AL
stood up.

as he lit a cigar. What about
me? My name is Woods and

Il don't want you to &C. to too

I'm sorry about the whole thing.
I know that, if positions were
reversed, you'd probably be put
on Ellis Island for a few days
and then sent back to England.
80 it's okay with me. When
I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Just
you say the word, tell me what
to do and I'll catch the next
boat to New York"
The officer shook his head.
That won't be necessary, Mr..
Woods" he smiled. I'VE don't
do things that way over here.
How much time did you want
to spend in London?"
mo more than three or four
days." replied the producer. "All
I want to do is to see a couple
of shows that may want to

right back"
The officer nodded and turned
to his assistant.

he asserted, land give him per
