co,umhsa-creston Clarke.

Creston Clarke has seen fit to revive an
old drama, ''The Marble Heart" in which
one or two members of his family won
laurels a generation ago. and his produc-
ton was the attraction last night at the
Columbia. The audience was a good one
and appreciated every point made on the
stage.
Opinions may differ as to the possibili-
ties which this play offers to Mr.. Clarke's
peculiar genius. In the tragic scenes he
made two or three decided hits, but there
is considerably less chance than in some
other of his offerings for the delicate and
sparkling humor and the excellent char
acter work which distinguish his act
ing. The prologue seems to have been
arranged mainly for the purpose of fur
nishing a contrast to the rest of the
piece. for the dialogue is anything but
brilliant, and the business is decidedly
melodramatic. In addition to this the
costuming of two or three of the minor
characters in this scene showed lack of
care. A Greek mantle worn over gar
ment but one remove from a modern
sweater is hardly edifying in its effects.
The furnishing of the studio in this scene
was also rather nondescript.
In the second act, however, there was
plenty of good acting and plenty of fine
comedy while Adelaide Prince as Marco
and Alice Gale as Clementine were a de-
light to the audience. In the third scene
some really magnificent emotional playing
was done in contest between the young
sculptor and the coquette who is his ruin
while George d. Parker as Ferdinand
Voltage also made decided success. In
the last act, too, Mr.. Clarke carried the

Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
which has since become one Of the most

enormous benefits to the sick and suffering
all over the United States. Thousands
have come there for treatment and tens of
thousands have received professional ad-
vice by mail with suggestions for inexpen-
sive home treatment, whereby they have
been cured of severe, and in many in
stances, apparently hopeless diseases.

THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
fom kippur Observed by the Wash

inSton Hebrew Congregation.
To pray for eight hours without ceasing
Is an undertaking which few would care
to attempt. and yet this is what the
Washington Hebrew Congregations did
yesterday and that, too. on empty stom-
achs, for on the Day OF Atonement moth
ing must be eaten or drank by the faith
full until sundown.
The services at the temple Beth
Elohim were commenced in the morn
ing by Rabbi Stern at 10 o'clock, as
sisted by the choir. which rendered some
magnificent vocal selections, assisted by
some volunteers from the congregation
The regular services as prescribed by
the ritual terminated for the time being
at little after noon, when the Hon
Simon Wolf occupied the pulpit and made
an address which, though brief from the
lack of time at his disposal. was much
appreciated by his hearers. In his pref
atory remarks. Mr.. Wolf paid a touching
tribute TO the memory OF the late EN-
press of Austria, and spoke in terms of
glowing eulogy of her sympathy for the
sufferings of the Jewish race in Austria
The speaker especially enjoined upon his
hearers the propriety of Offering up a
prayer for the repose of the soul of this
noble woman at the memorial service for
the dead in the afternoon.
Continuing, Mr. Wolf praised very high
iy the work of the various jewish benev-
olent associations, referring especially to
the work of the Jewish Handmaidens and
the Jewish Publication Society, which has
done so much for the cause of Jewish
literature. and also paid a high compI-
ment to the Council of Jewish Women
which has done so much for the youth
of the congregation, and highly COM
mended the work of the Temple Society.
under whose fostering auspices the mag
nificent ediice in which the congregation
worshiped had been erected. In closing
his address. Mr.. Wolf urged upon his
hearers the necessity of attending the
services at the synagogue on Fridays
and Saturdays. This formed the con-
clusion of the first part of the services.
At O'Clock a large congregation
sembled to assist at the conclusion of the
lengthy proceedings of the day. The
torah or scroll was removed from the ark
with much ceremony, and the minister
read from 1t with much solemnity the
lesson of the day. The scroll itself is
beautiful work of art as a specimen of
Hebrew calligraphy. 1t is inclosed in
magnificently embroidered white silk case
and took the whole time of the scribe
who performed the work for a period OF
three months, the cost being $50.
The services terminated with the pray
ers for the dead, peculiarly impressive
part of the ceremonial, and an address
from the pastor followed by the benedic-
ton, after which the congregation dis
persed.
The Day of Atonement was also OBJ
served with fitting ceremonies at the
A1as Israel House, at the corner of Sixth
and C Streets. The sermon was deliv-
cred by the assistant rabbi, DR.. Mandel,
and was listened to with much interest
by his hearers. The rest of the services
were in Hebrew and were terminated
by an impressive benediction.

further apologies With this in mind 1t
is necessary only TO add that the piece
is done at the Lafayette Square this
week and is about as much out of place
there as a lima bean in a diamond neck
lace.
Most of the space on the program is
given up to Johnstone Bennett George

ing power the play may have The first
named is good-of course-and the others,
Will tIlt rest Ol Il ldlIly large company,
do their best with the material at hand
But not even Richards and Garfield can
accomplish a great deal with dialogue
aboundipg in jokes as old as those resur-
rected by Mr.. Blaney. This ought TO
serve the double purpose of indicating
the character OF the comedy and sug-
gesting a reason why so many capable
farceurs fail to make it laughable.
There is very little plot-only enough to
warrant Miss Bennett in carrying a sam
pie case and the stage carpenter in con-
structing three settings. 1t exists prin-

brand of cigarettes. AS a whole "A Fe-
male Drummer is cross between a
minstrel show and a musical comedy like
The Gaiety Girl" Unfortunately, Mr..
Blaney has retained very few of the good
points of either.
Miss Bennett is given fair opportunity
for the display of capability, for which
indulgence the audience of last night GER
tanly thanked the author feryently. She

very well done indeed. Richards and
Garfield divide the other honors with Willis
Sweatnam, the former assuming the part
of Wood B. Smooth, senior member of
the firm of Smooth, Silk & Company, and
the others appearing as the Buttons"

also of Payson Grahmme, Lizzie Melrose,
and OscarlL. Figman.

Fashionable Audience Witness the
Production of ssrhe Christian

A conspicuous feature at the National
Theater last evening at the production of
''The Christian" was the brilliant social
atmosphere that pervaded the house, con-
sidering the season of the year. Not only
were the boxes occupied by prominent
representatives of Washington's official
and fashionable world, but at every turn
were distinguished men and stylish wom-
en- just home from seacoasts and mount
ain tops, and who were plainly enjoying
the combined attraction OF the new play
and the presence in their midst of its
distinguished author.
The President and Mrs Mckinley were
prevented from attending at almost the
last minute. but the army was there in
the presence of Gen. Miles, who, with his
party occupied lower box TO the right
of the stage.
The unusual interest attached to the
play, the star and the author, brought
the audience together with a commenda-
BILE promptness that the managers doubt

year. Scarcely were the glass doors
thrown open when the audience began to
surge in. II is custom of National The
ater goers at all times to stop and chat
bit in the foyer before the overture
begins and last night the practice was
observed so generally that at times the
crowd had 10 file it's way into the thea
ter through a living aisle, formed of
beautifully gowned women and their gall
liant escorts, uniforms being so prevalent
that the air was literally tinted with
army and navy blue.
Just as the orchestra struck up and the
loiterers hurried TO their seats a slender
gentleman in rather Wintry bit of pic
turesque cloak ran uD the steps. He
looked more like an artist than a literary
man, but one needed only a glance to
recognize him as the hero OF the evening
