The next attraction at the Columbia
Theater will be a new farce. called "a
Misfit Marriage" by Mr.. H. A. Du Sou
chet, whose reputation was so completely
and speedily established by the success Of
his first play, My Friend from India. -
and whose subsequent works have shown
conclusively that as a dramatic author he
in no wise resembles Single Speech Ham
Iton," of English parliamentary fame.
Mr. Du Souchet's latest effort is laid in
the city of New Orleans. on Mardi Gras
day. when the spirit of frivoIity is always
given full scope, and when absurdity
takes the place Of reason. Its characters
are selected from the interesting classes
which make up the population of that old
town, and its incidents are said to be ex-
tremely ludicrous. The dialogue is bright
and sparkling and as in his previous
works. there are a number of comic stage
effects, which it is believed will prove
novel and striking, though conforming
strictly 10 the requirements of intelligent
farce. Messrs. Smyth & Rice promise to
give the new piece a careful and ade-
uuate production and will bring to Wash
ington large company. "A Misfit Mar
rfage" is being thoroughly rehearsed in
New York now. and perfect and thor
oughiy satisfactory first night will be the
aim of all concerned. The sale of seats
begins this morning al the box office OF

During a recent interview In New York
Author Geo. II. Broadhurst said, comment
ing on the subject of letting his plays,
that "A writer's royalties are contingent
on and commensurate with the success of
his works. IL they prove failures he sim
ply gets his advance payment, which
amounts practically to nothing. When
they are successful the producer makes
five times as much as the author. If,
therefore, the latter gentleman has faith
in his efforts and can stage them himself
it is good business proposition for him
to do so. That he is just as likely to
make mistake as the manager is will
ingly admitted, but it is much harder to
suffer for the errors of others than for
the mistakes of ones self. The above
are few of the reasons which influence
me in putting on my own plays. and
burn the bridges behind me by confessing
that If they prove failures there IS no one
to blame but myself" Broadhurst's

THINGS THEATRICAL.

No one of the old plays Is done less
often nowadays than The FOOLS Re
venge," which was presented last night
by Creston Clarke and his company at the
Columbia Theater. The piece is one of
the strongest existing as reminders of the
time when are needed no accessorieS-not
even that of probability. Though Booth,
the elder Salvini and many ether noted
tragedians found the drama worthy of
them. 1t has survived less because of the
ability of those with whose personality 1t
is impressed than through its own force
and wit. Accordingly, Mr. Ciarke's inn
personation of the title role yesterday
evening found more "reminiscences and
comparisons than opportunities, though
the actor made the best of these last In
such a way that his efforts were thor
oughly appreciated His conception of the
ill-shaped jester, Bertuccio, at first only
noteworthy for the elocutionary and
theatric tricks with which less able play
ers might have invested it. became really
powerful in the strongly-developed last
act. Here Mr.. Clarke's ar, was almost
SURPRISING, and the vibrations of his force
lasted through the lapses in construction
until the next climaxes were reached, ex-
actly as does the music of a piano key
until it's fellow has been struck.
