SHAKESPEARE SOClETY'S
TRIBUTE TO MARL OWE
Ei.etur. on Poets Sri.l Career and
Group OF Five Scenes From
"Tamboulaine.o

The Washington Shakespeare Society,
nesting last evening in the Corcoran
Galley Auditorium, paid tribute to
Christopher Marlowe, the forerunner
of Shakespeare. Gideon A. Lyon, asso-
ciate editor Of The Star, was the prin-
cipal speaker. He outlined the poets
brief and tragic career, and analysed
the mystery OF his death.
"Marlowe," he said, is almost never
played and only rarely read, but 1t was
he who made the path for Shakespeare,
anc he did not live hts little life In
vain"
An innovator and the inventor of a
medium which later writers used, Mr..
Lyon spoke of Marlowe as "the herald
who dropped dead announcing the VIC
tory whose fruits he was not to share, "
but he insisted that 'he was not merely
a herald, but the creator of a new form
Of poetry"
The society's group of players gave
five scenes from "Tamboulaine," with
Kent Dyer, Joseph I1altisan, Wilbur
Belts. William Heinz, w. A. Bryant,
Walter Thorne, Eldridge Monroe, Esther
Waldron, Helen Webb Zeuer Leona

Miss Brice's happy burleSque wit, the

Marshall, Miss Patricia Bowman, Buddy
and Wilma Ebsen and Lord Oliver
Wakefield contribute their best to make
this lively show.

audience at the Natioaal. It did not,
however, prove TO be anything like the
old "Follies." The touch of the mas
ter hand was not there The girls, all
of the same height. and occasionally
tbut far from always well dressed, did
their Bobby Connolly dances with en-
thusiasm; the scenes flashed by in
handsome array; the principals spoke
their speeches painstakingly; Betsi
Beaton, who we are told has the most
beautiful nose in the world, draped her
self generously over the footlightS; Mr..
Marshall and Jane Frohnaan sang ex-
treueIy effectively; Patricia Bowman,
one Of the better balleriras, stuck to
her toes with consummate skill: Willie
and Eugene Howard were as funny as
ever. and. of course, Fanny Brice, even
without her swan dance, raised the roof
But for ali of that-the Ziegfeld
"Foilies' were not the "ziegfeld FolIles
Nevertheless, the show which the
Shuberts have constructed is large and
pleasant ana sometimes very, very
funny. The music is tuneful; The
Last Roundup" is agreeably burlesqued;
that Water Under the Bridge" num-
ber is something that even Ziegfeld
might have envied, and the chorus girls,
believe it or not. open up their young
throats and sing to the high heavens.
All Of this combined may give you
q rough idea that. even if the "Follies"
aren't the 'Follies," they are at least
a pretty good show. Maybe its be-
cause Washington hasn't had such a
girl and song production in a long
time that made it seem as good as it
was. However. row c center aisle was
continually quaking with mirth and. as
far as we could see. the audience en-
joyed the whole business no end.
The trouble with the show at present
is that there are no startling new
talents to keep up the erstwhile gala

made the bulk of the program John
Mccormack disclosed an art of diff
ferent order from what one is accustom
to hear. 1t was the art Of understand
ing the inmost heart of an audience
and awakening responsive sentiments.
1t is not necessary to bother the mind
some great genius at Mccormack con-
cert, it suficeS to relax and let down
the barriers so that the simple, the

What Mr.. Mccormack does in sing
ing cannot be done by every artist.
There is first necessary a voice such
as Mr.. Mccormack possesses and tai
ent that holds in command the art OF
simplification. Overemphasis Of senti-
ment or overuse of tone and the deli
cate fabric of the song would vanish
and nothing remain in its place. There
Is always the danger Of nonotony and
too great sweetness in program
such as yesterday, and it might have
been advisable to include more NUM-
bers like Martinis "Plaisir glamour" or

with which he began the concert. Ex-
cellent pllrasins, positive control and
artistic finish made these the most en-
joyable selections on the program.
Franck's "Panis Anselicus" ended the
second group, but it was sung without
organ accompaniment, as the organ and
piano were not tuned to the same pitch.
After the t1termission Irish folksonss
were given and from the amount OF
applause and recalls could have been
continued indefinitely. A composition,
