Electric Equipment.
THE END OF A LONG FIGHT
May Use on His Own Road the Sys-
tenn He Has Opposed So Bitterly
on the Rival Iine-A Plan Outlined
TO Help tie Capital Railway
Company.

The complications of the Brown cleo
trio system and the Capital Railway
and their troubles with the District
Commissioners are likely to have some
what startling developments within the
next few days. Mr.. Griswold presi-
dent of the Anacostia road, who has
fought the Brown system from the time
OF its Introduction here, and who has
furnished the District Commissioners
with every affidavit and every piece of
evidence they have had against the
system, has made a formal offer to the
Brown system people to put it on the
Anacostia road. He has asked for a
bid Immediately. and negotiations are
pending on the deal now. This state
ment is made ON the best authority
the officers of the Capital Railway
themselves.
1t is probable. also, though this has
not been decided finally. that the cars
viii be running regularly on the Capt.
tai Railway this week, and that they
VIII continue To run at least for the bet
ter part of February. Before the end
Of that time it is the hope Of the Capt.
tai Railway and Brown system people
that Congress will have granted to
them the right TO continue indefinite
ly.
Following that ii is believed that an
effort will be made to Introduce the
Brown system on the Anacostia road
as well This is the intention of the
parties concerned at the present time.
The Capital Railway officials decided
this morning that under the order Of
the Commissioners last Saturday 10 re-
move the Brown system within thirty
days, they have right 10 operate ii
for as much of the thirty days as they
can, provided ii is removed on time.
The matter was referred to the Com
missioners this morning and although
there has been no formal decision, ii
is probable that the line Will be run.
Commissioner Black told the company
this morning that he saw no reason
why they would not be complying with
the order in this way.

AT THE THEATERS.
Columbia- Paris Model"

tOlu inbla-"A BarlS Mouti.
Jane -Feigl's new farcical
comedy, A Paris Model" was present
ed last night at the Columbia Theater
under the most suspicious circum-
stances. A large audience was present
and gave the play their unqualified ap-
prevail. Miss Maud Haslam, Miss Caro-
line Cooke, Miss Mollie Revel, Miss
Nine Freeth. Mile. Pilar-Morin, Mr..
Leo Dietrichstein, Mr.. William Bonnet
Ii, Mr.. Felix Haney, Mr.. Edward Nor
rison, Mr.. Joseph Harrington, and one
or two others contributed to a presen-
tation as smooth as though the piece
had been running a season instead OF
something less than a week.
With a little planning here and some
! cutting there "A Paris Model has the
Undoubted material for a popular sue
cess. Mrs. Feigl has put into the play
a surprising amount of clever dialogue,
rapid action humorous situation and
just enough of a plot 10 bring things
into a tangle at the close. The situa-
tions depend more on their own build
ing than on the story of the play and
the bright character work in the pro-
duction has as much to do with
the success of the farce as anything
else. These bits, together with judi
cious amount Of sentiment, rather lift
the piece above the level of mere farce
and place it with more disnified come
dy.
The story deals with the efforts of
one Lucille TO secure "A gown in which
to accompany her wealthy escort to
the theater. She finally secures one
from a secondhand dealer in clothing
only to find too late that he has acct
dentally secured ii from a thieving
maid, who had stolen il from a famous
actress. Lucille is arrested, but in the
nick Of time for herself and her sweet
heart the costurner is recognized as the
husband Of the star and all the threads
Of the plot come to a speedy and hap
by ending.

National-"Prince Rudolph"

The audience that turned out to the
National Theater last night to see Otis
Skinner in Prince Rudolph was not
large in size, but il was sufficiently
critical to be first generous and then
enthusiastic. Mr.. Skinner has proba-
bly, never had a play that fitted him
more thoroughly than this, and the air
Of sword and shield. garter and buck
skin, around the story lends to it a ro-
mantle interest that enhances its value
as pleasing production, greatly Mr..
Skinner makes of the title role clear
concise, consistent and coherent bit of
character drawing, replete with all the
finer touches that tone genius into
scholarship. Never melodramatic, he
built his climaXes upon such an en-
during plane that each succeeding step
grew in strength, and the last two acts
Of the play eliminated in hearty bursts
of applause for the clever young ac-
tor. Mr.. skinner was ably seconded by
Miss Durbin. who. as the wife TO whom
he turns only when in desperate straits.

little sympathetic playing. The pro-

Lafayette-"A Marriage of Couveni
ence."

"A Marriage of Convenience" which
made its first appearance in Washing
ton last night at the Lafayette. is a
play which reminds one of all sorts
of dainty. fragile, exquisite things. 1t
is like dollhouse roses; like rare lace;
like Sevres porcelain: like rainbow
tinted Bohemian glass; like the music
of a harp. Ii is, in short, comedy by
players of fine artistic sentiment and
finished art. The part of the Comte de
Candale taken by Mr.. John Drew, is
one which is especially fitted TO bring
out the finer qualities Of his art, and
would. in fact. be almost impossible
for most actors. 1t is essentially a
comedy part, with a light, almost Gym
ical tone. The Comte. n man of the
world, having married for convenience,
finds himself falling in love with his
wife. That is the whole of the plot, and
it's development is indicated by subtle
changes Of expression and modulations
Of voice. rather than by strong dra-
matte situations. Miss Isabel Irving
as the Comtesse, was fully equal to
the requirements Of the part, and her
portrayal of a bride fresh from the
convent was exceedingly charming,
quaint and natural. Miss Elsie De
Wolfe, as Marion, was the incarnation
If a coquettish French maid, while
Mr.. Arthur Byron, as the Chevalier de
Valclos, and Mr.. ID. II. Harkins, as the
old General, We're entirely satisfactory.
The minor parts Were all well taken,
and the costumes were the most elab-
crate and beautiful seen here this sea-
son.
The theater was crowded to the
doors and just before the curtain went
up a slight ripple Of applause greeted
