Troupers
Glimpses of Stage Folk
in Washington.

THE blond girl sat on a small cot
in her dressing room after the last
performance. She leaned back against
the wall, smoked little and talked a
great deal. unaffectedly, in an en-
chantingly husky voice.
She told the story of Shirley Ross
almost as If it were a pleasant but
somewhat incredible dream, or the
tale Of friend whose career she had
followed as spectator. Even the sing
ing. finished a few moments before
downstairs on the Fox stage was not
discussed with the usual patter Of
Il, I, I, l." for which actors and &C
tresses are, more or less justly, in
famous.
Only when there was talk of the
future did ego stand forth, eagerly
with a contagious enthusiasm. 1t was
clothed in the most attractive garb of
self-intelligent ambition to succeed,
to achieve superiority in an art, that
it may in turn give pleasure to those
who behold. the onlookers and the tai
entless. The girl spoke of films, where
in she is just %lining her first foot
hold. Her vaudeville tour, the first in
a life originally sequestered from
show business, is intended to give her
stage balance and the feel Of large au-
dences-which do not exist in reality
for picture actors. Nevertheless poiSe,
the calculation of line value, ema-
nate from a sense of an imaginary
audience. One can imagine an au-
dience better after actually working
before a few. Or, at least, we be-
lieve, that's the way it is.
Will she make the grade, become a
really fine actress in Hollywood, or
Broadway, or anywhere at all, the
girl is asked. She seems honestly
doubtful, an uncertainty tinged with
hopefulness and vigorous desire to
attain. Her hands, which are slender
and already have learned something
of expressiveness. go taut when she
mentions this ambition. 1t is as If
she held in her palm the fruit Of
success, firm and to be squeezed
nightly for its juices.
What is all this vaporous analysis
being handed to you anent young
lady from California whose career has
consisted of blues singing with orches-

MUSICAL MOMENTS.

A lecture -pantomime with musical
moments, or a class in psychic gym
nastics would describe John Boving-
don's performance at the Masonic Tenn
pie Sunday evening more aptly than
the advertised "poem-dance" recital,
a form which he credits himself with
having invented. AS a matter Of fact,
both form ara originality may be
doubted, inasmuch as there is no form
and the basic idea is an unconscious
derivation from the pagan bachanalia.
Indeed, the meeting might have ended
in quite a full-blown specimen of
the ancient rite if the temperament
of the audience had been less stonily
Anglo-Saxon.
Mr.. Bovingdon's purely bachanalian
aim was to stretch" the souls of the
audience until they should unselfcon-
sciously join in his singing and, COM
munistically, enjoy with him the spon-
taneous creation of his "dance-por-
traits" He would have attained a
greater degree of success if he had
sung such familiar ditties as MY Old
Kentucky Home" but in spite of the
melancholy Russian tunes which the
audience had to learn, humming each
phrase after him by rote, he achieved
a surprising degree of success. A GER
tain educational stiffness in Mr. Bov-
lngdon himself precluded the posi-
bility of any riotous gayety in the pro-
ceedin2s. N. S.

tras? Why so serious about one who
makes business of carrying the torch,
bemoaning in melody the bitter vaga-
ries Of romance?
Well. we thought it rather impress
sive that Miss Ross was an honor
scholar of her class in high school;
that she studied piano for years, as
similating a bountiful musical educa-
ton before she ever began to sing;
that when she had the opportunity to
play "Punchinello" in a school play,
she did not hesitate a moment to con-
ceal her extreme pulchritude behind
a gray beard. 1t is also perhaps sig
nificant that her first venture on the
boards SO excited her that she strug-
gled manfully to land a part in the
next production. full length comedy.
The ingenue dropped out and she
stepped in. Thereafter she thought
much of becoming an actress
Her singing had been merely Incl
dental to piano-playing until, one
night at party, Sid Graumann heard
her perform. He was enraptured,
rushed her of to Phil Harris at the
Cocoanut Grove, where she engaged in
the dispensing of ditties quite for
eign to Gilbert & Sullivan and the
airy operattas of high school days.
She worked with another orchestra,
appeared in Manhattan Melodrama"
as night club singer.
There is a short film skit carried
along with Miss Ross act. To us it
suggests the young lady will soar out
of the blues warbling business very
rapidly. winding up on the long end of
straight career No matter what
your reactions to that idea, or even if
you don't care, drop by the Fox this
week to hear her. She can really sell
a song. r. B. p, Jr.

Bad One.

IA Below" dramatic gem of ap-
proximately sixty-six and two thirds
perfection, was presented last night
under sponsorship of Bess Davis
Schreiner and Mabel Van Dyke on
the Pierce Hall stage at Fifteenth and
Harvard streets. A brisk and brittle
product fashioned by Edward de
Selding Melcher, dramatic critic of
The Star. the comedy was attended
by a sizeable audience composed Of
local society folk. theater managers,
friends of the large and competent
acting company and those who came
merely to see a play and were we'll
rewarded for their effort in two out
of three acts

brighter quips Of the current dramatic
season, exemplary of the authors sure
feeling for comic dialogue and char
acterization. In the final innings Of
the merry game. however. Mr..
Melcher Is guilty OF few wild
pitches, palpably the result of slight
neuritits in the emotional and crea-
tive right arm.
While it gets under way with rather
slowly increasing momentum during
the first scene, "A Below" attains and
holds high peak of hilarity through
out the two sectors of the second act.
In the third, both speed and brilliance
gently fade into the resolution of a
complex set of situations.
In the box score We kept last night
on the performers of this new drama
it appeared that they also could be ac-
credited with about .666 In the aggre-
gate, although some of them batted a
clean 1000 throughout the evening" At
the head of the latter brave clan was
Maud Howell Smith, frolicking through
gay and fulsome role which she
dealt magnificent justice at every turn.
John Sikken as the native seafarin'
swain, Helen Shields as the poor little
rich girl who admired him profoundly
even unto matrimony and Anne Ives
and Ida Garrett Mattingly in the guise
of two village grand danes, were next
in our list Of stars. We also credited
Jesse Veitch. Paul Murphy and Patricia
Dimitriu with the excellent handling
OF small but interesting duties.
The play will be presented again to-
night at $50 O'Clock. Frank Baer is
the director, the settings were designed
by Allen Stephens, the interior deco
ration is by Mary Foley Benson and
stage management by Howard Whit
