Herbert Receives a Fine
Reception in Washington
Screen Comedian Is Royally Entertained.
Special Attractions at the Film Theaters
for Week Beginning Tomorrow.
BY E. de S. MELCHER.
IT'S pretty late to write about Hugh Herbert. Tomorrow he
will be on his way back to Maxine Doyle-land, where it is
said that Hollywood will keep him so busy that he will be
glad to think upon those rosy hours when he made only four
or five personal appearances a day and wish, perhaps, that he
was back in the thick gloom of a cherry blossom season.
1VLI . Jlt"I UCX b Id UCilt^ «ίΙΚΙΛΙΙ «UUUV,
fven as late as this is. not only be
cause he is Mr. Herbert, but because
last night he was given one of the
most unusual personal ovations ever
recorded in this city. At the behest
of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Lust, he was
tendered an after-theater party at
which not only many a "heil Warner
Bros.-' was heard, but also the fer
vent good wishes of every "opposition"
manager in town and the praise of
ε ' round table" that stretched almost
Irom Connecticut avenue to Κ street.
Something like 43 speeches were
made and every speech had at least
43 words of cheer in it for Herbert.
Mr. Herbert, too, made about 43
speeches, but this was only because
he was asked. One of Loew's Eastern
civision managers. Carter Barron, got
up on his feet and said that Herbert
was a good guy; Hardie Meakin of
R-K-O fame got up and said that
Herbert was a good guy: Harry Hun
ter of Paramount was pleased to boast
about him; the "press" got up and in
four and five different sizes and
shapes said that Herbert made the
press laugh; Vincent Lopez toasted
him; ladies toasted him; Herbert
toasted the ladies; and all in all,
when heads were counted along about
3 in the morning, there were still
43 people present. 43 speeches on tap.
43 toasts being celebrated.
If this isn't what is called "popu
larity" then Warners ought to eat
their hats. As it is we hope that
Hollywood hears what D C. thought
about this popular player.

•THE new week's films starting today
include:
"The Road to Life," at the Belasco

attracted wide attention, due to iti
text, its cast (mostly children) anc

more than a trip to the Belasco

there.)

has been favorably viewed by many
an out-of-town reviewer. There are
other people in the picture, but Gin

be enough to get you there anyway.

Charles Laughton running away with

I Hope that that "Alladin" Easter

SOPRANO IN RECITAL
AT MAYFLOWER HOTEL
Sonia Troyano Entertains Local
Unit of Women's Over
seas Service.
Sonia Troyano, lyric soprano, as
sisted by Malton Boyce, pianist, were
heard in "An Hour of Music" last
evening the ball room of the May
flower under the auspices of the
Washington unit of the Women's
j Overseas Service League. The singer
has a clear, light voice, a gracious and
unafTected manner and she sang her
program of songs of four nations with
j charm and ease. She chose for her
first group three Mexican songs, and
her colorful costume of that country
was most becoming. For the Spanish
group Miss Troyano changed to a
native costume, equally becoming and
graceful. Her singing of the Spanish
and Mexican songs is particularly
effective, and, although the music
has much the same rhythm, she made
a very definite distinction between
the compositions. Miss Troyano, al
though a native of New York, has
studied in France, Italy and Spain,
and she had made a special study of
songs of the peasantry, bringing many
to light that had been long forgotten.
Mr. Boyce played three groups of
solos in addition to the accompani
ments. and showed a warm, clear
tone, playing with delicacy and dex
terity, particularly effective in such
compositions ω Liebich's "Music
Box" and Liszt's "Liebestraum."
