'NHERE Is PROFESSIONALISM
about the programs being pre-
sented this Summer at the
Il Sylvan TEeater which Is being
recognized by thr Washington public
II the large attendance at these con-
certs is any indication OF their value.
Last evening the program was given
by Lisa Gardiner and her dance group,
with interspersed numbers by the Ma
rine Band under Capt. Taylor Bran
sons direction.
The novelty of the program, which
was also the novelty of Miss Gardiner's
dancers recent recital, was the in
depreciation in rantomime of works
by members of the Washington Com
posers' Club. Oriental Impressions"
by Henry Gregor, was divided into two
numbers. In the Temple of Shiva,"
danced by Jeanne Densmore, and The
Voice In the Desert" presented by
Leila Gurley. Anne Vucinovich. Lora
Wills. Barbara Worrell, Jeanne
Mule tie and Jeanne Densmore. The
Far Eastern color OF the music gave
splendid opportunity to the dancers
for a display of sinuous grace while
the vivid color OF the costumes helped
to emphasize The Oriental character

"Habanero," ranking in finish with
any presented by Spain's famous La

danced with joyous abandon by 10

The Lotus Eaters" by Edward Pot
ter, interpreted by Marjorie Mcgee,
Georgia Hiden and Jeanne Milette,
with Mr.. Shure at the piano, was a
lovely creation given with poise and
conviction by the three dancers. The
final selection by local composers,
which also closed the evenings per-

BANKSIDE PLAYERS IN
SCENES FROM DRAMAS
Presented in Garden TheateT of
the Arts Club Last
Evening.

Arranged and directed by Charles
E. Russell. a program Of scenes from
familiar dramas was presented last
evening in the garden theater of the
Arts Club of Washington by the
Bankside Players The excerpts were
obviously not chosen from the stand
points of simplicity all being ade
quate tests of the histrionic capacities
of the players.
Shakespeare was represented by
three selections from Romeo and
Juliet" the balcony scene, the potion
scene and the sequence wherein Juliet
seeks to extract from her aggravating
nurse the message from her lover
Dorothy Lawrence played Juliet
throughout, and her performance did
not suffer in the inevitable COM
parison with other Juliets. Miss Law
renee met the varied requirements of
the several scenes without effort,
reading her lines with an understand
ing and meticulous regard for inf1ec-
tions She was ably abetted in the
latter two offerings by Miriam B. Hill
ton as the nurse. Romeo was played
by Edward Stansbury.
The initial presentation was Of the
first act from Percy Mackaye's
Jeanne dare" with Adelaide Borah
in the role of the inspired French
maid. Her work was worthy of con-
graduation. She was given intelli-
gent support by Joseph Haltigan, who
played Gerard. soldier of the feur
de lis.

In short, this director. who is the
admitted genius of cinematic genre, Is
content with the words of Alexander
Pope BE not the first by whom
the new is tried, nor yet the last to
lay the old aside
The most trenchant things Ernst
Iubitsch said were these:
The slightest nuance Of tgesture
still means more in picture than
the best line of dialogue ever written.
Don't think. when say this, that I
am Understanding dialogue. I am
merely evaluating the visual thing
correctly. so far as pictures are con-
cerned. Pictures still remain camera
art, first, last and always"
Lubitsch shifted that half cigar
which seems ever at hand and ever
In the same state of being half
finished. His eyes danced with imp
ish laughter as he conflded:
"It's a great time in pictures-a
great time Everything is changing
and changing is always splendid, opera
will eventually go over in pictures if
We get the right casts for the right
operas and then treat the operas in
the correct way"
And the correct way to treat
opera?" I asked.
Knock it in the head-turn it
upside down-do as mach to it as you
can to moderpize it-cut out the
old singing dialogue-emphasize the
value of the aria--do, in short. what
operatic producers should have done
