Two Washington stock troupes swap theaters this week
On Monday June the two prominent stars Guy Standing and Miss Charlotte Walker shift venues. Standing and his Black Company move from the Belasco to the Columbia under Fred G. Berger, while Walker opens a supplementary Belasco season with a special stock company under William A. Page. The Washington scene will host rival yet friendly stock programs as Mrs Walker returns here with plans for weekly new roles and Belasco personal oversight. Seats for Walker’s first week go on sale at the Belasco box office. Standing’s “Imprudence” advance sales begin at the Heketom Theatre box.
