tunate in having an opportunity
to see the ever-popular Gilbert
and Sullivan operas performed in
the traditional manner set down
by these creators, by these gifted
and versatile visitors from abroad.
The New York engagement,
which ended recently, was much
too short to accommodate the
vast crowds that wished to see
them. They impoverished the
.vocabularieS of ecstatic reviewers
and blistered the hands of ap.
plauding admirers.
The opera selected for the open
ing Monday night, February 18,
is "The Gondoliers," with which
the company was introduced to
New York. This was the last op-
era written by these important

Huston Due In
"DodsWorth"

At last a play of proven worth,
not a "tryout" of problematical
value. is coming to Washington.
"Dodsworth," starring Walter
Huston, and with Fay BANTER
and Nan Sunderland in their i'm
portant leading roles, is the attrac-
ton, and it is due at the National
Theater Monday evening, Febru-
ary 4, for a weeks engagement.
Thus, Capital City theatergoers
will have the thrill of seeing a
play with a triumphant record
behind it of AZ weeks in New York
and four in Philadelphia; a play
which according to Government
admission tax figures, drew one
tenth of all the money paid in
entire United States to see non
musical stage plays during the
year 1884. So, it would seem that
here is one time when the amuse-
ment seeker may pass his money
through the box-office window
with confidence that he is to re-
ceiVe it's full worth in return.
All who are interested in the
theater know by now that this
play is Sidney Howard's dramati-
zation of Sinclair Lewis epic of
the American business man,
"DodsWorth"; that it was produced
by Max Gordon, the most con-
sistently successful of current
Broadway impresarios; that in it
Walter Huston has clinched his
right to sit in the small and
select circle of First Actors; that
Fay BANTER has achieved in it
the crowning success of her bril-
liant career, and that Nan Sun
derland takes in it her first steps
toward stellar heights.
Max Gordon is literally making
good his announcement: Metro
politan cast and production in
tact"

Society page reporters, column
lists and other scribes are in a
way responsible for bestowing the
honor. If the writer's suddenly
agree that a certain actress is
"the best dressed" then the
fashion crown is placed on her
head.
Hollywood fashions are due to
take q fatal tumble unless the
stars cease competing so Strenu-
Ously for top style hOnOrs!
This is the opinion-and a
good one-of Rosalind, a comely
featured player on the M.-G.-M
lot. Miss Russell, since her ar
rival in Hollywood several months
ago, has gained reputation for
being one of the best dressed
women on as well as off the
screen.
If women would stop trying
to outdo each other in the
matter of clothes there would be
more Smartly dressed women, ,"
Miss Russell said. THE obses.
sion to be classed as "the best

never commit otherwise! If one
woman appears wearing a single

Mansion on the Hudson" which was pre-
sented for the first time in Washington at the
National Theater last night, offers six chapter
periods in the career of the Rowland family,
gand more particularly the skeletons that
.lurked in the imposing old ancestral estate at
Schuylerton.
With her remarkable facility for conjuring
illusion and character creation through we'll
written dialogue, Miss Skinner contrives to
give both the substance and form of real
|play in her arresting monologue.
AS solo performance, it is brilliant, piece
of writing that sparkles, acting that fires and
both in mood and emotion.

Beautifully Acted

It is an artful blend of irony,
tender pathos and frivolous com
edy that Cornelia Otis Skinner
managed to portray in enveloping
six characters of contrasting types.
They call for not only flexibility Of
voice but ingenuity in costume and
makeup, the range of the actress
in diversified field. All of her eff.
fects are achieved with a mini
mum Of stage setting, another
masterful tribute to the Skinner
power of imaginative suggestion.
Some enthusiasts call Mansion
on the Hudson" the American
"Cavalcade." Instead, see it as
the Northern House of Connolly -
fully as complete and satisfying a
theater evening as that full-length
and tragic play which launched
the Group theater.
For the first part of her busy
evening Miss Skinner presented
three we'll drawn char racte1
sketches. Nurses Day Out" must
be for young mothers. "On the
Beach at Barbados" a miniature
of tragic romance, and Being
Presented" a cartoon for Ne
