Tho Natioual-JuIia Marlowe.

Tho Natloual-JuIia Marlowe.
A distinguished audience at the National
Theatre last night saw new star shining in
the dramatic Permanent, 1t was Miss Julia
Marlowo as Partheuia in the poetic romance
of "Ingomar, the Barbarian It was her first
appearance in Washington and the first of her
experience on n starring tour. 1t was q sue
cess, too, and the young woman stepped from
the threshold of uuacquaintance as the cur
tain went up, into the inner sanctuary ot
friendship, as II went down. Not lowered
with the 'fatal gift of beauty Miss Marlowe
possesses the greater charm OF a sweet aud
suble fascination, the gift Of Nature, the per
fecton of art. She ideallzes the natural, AID
the faults which obtrude themselves but make
the picture human and brings us closer to It,
She is lacking In art, yet full Of art. The ac-
tress and the girl so subtly combined that even
'the master mind caunot draw the line OF
demarcation.
The play is poem, and Miss Marlowe isthe
irreslstibly fascinating stanza in it to which
the heart ever reverts, and the melody OF
whose lines weaves its strains about us In
net Of siken chords The Ignomar OF Mr..
Barron, while lacking in the strong points Of
an ideal barbarian, both IN action aud make
up still had many good features which did
not fail of appreciation. The other characters
In the cast were equal to what they had to do.
Miss Marlowe was repeatedly recalled and she
has, without the adventitious aid of even
limited notoriety, made such hit as our most
notorious actresses would be proud OF.
Again tonight. Election returns will be an
nounced from the stage during the evening.
