National Theatre. Manager Rapley
is pleased TO announce as next weeks attrac
ton at the National theatre one of Wash
ington's strongest favorites, Mr.. Willie Col
lier, who will present for the first time there
a new comedy by H. A. Du Souchet, author
of my Friend from India" entitled 1.-THE
Man from Mexico. Mr.. Collier and his
merry associates presented this highly sue
cessful comedy for over two months at Hoyt's
theatre,I New York city, last Spring, and
its run was only interrupted by the extreme
heat which came on in the early part Of
June. 1t was agreed by all of New York's
cultured critics that no bigger laughing sue
cess had ever been seen in the Metropolis,
and Willie Collier was universally credited
with a new, unique and distinctive charac-
ter creation in Benjamin Fitzhugh, the CEN
trail figure IN "The Man from Mexico" He
is said to be surrounded by an exceptionally
competent company, most of the members
Of which have made regulations for them
selves here before. Louise Allen will be
seen in the part of Mrs. Fitzhugh, in which
she is said to have added another to her
long list OF successes. In the last act Miss
Allen and Mr.. Collier introduce a novel
Mexican dance, the music for which was
written by Mr. Rudolph Aronson and dedi-
Gated to Miss Allen. Mr.. Maclyn Arbuckle,
long leading member of the Frohman
forces, is Mr.. Golfers principal male sup
port.

EUr several minutes ne YaZeQ at the
couch in dreadful suspense; then his
heart stopped pulsing as the figure on
the couch began to move. Slowly the
sheet fell from the head and the figure
sat up stiffly. There was faint bum OF
hidden machinery at the couch, and a
flashing blue and green line running
from the couch to the wall betrayed the
presence of an electric wire
Slowly the figure rose and with creak-
ing, rafting joints stood erect. Pale
lights shone in the orbits of the eyes and
the sound of harsh automatic breathing
came from the mouth and nostrils. Slow
~ and haltingly the figure advanced to-
ward Thorndyke. The poor fellow tried
to wrench himself free from the chair,
but ne could not stir an inch. On came
the figure, its long arms swinging me-
chemically, and its feet slurring over the
stone pavement.
When within ten feet Of the English
man, it stopped, nodded its head three or
four times and slowly opened it's mouth.
There was sharp, whirring noise, such
as comes from monograph, and q
voice spoke:
''My voice shall sound on earth for a
million years after my spirit has left
my body, and shall wander about my
dark dungeon as a warning to men not
to Go as I have done"
The voice ceased, but the whirring
sound in the creatures breast went Oh.
The figure shambled nearer to Thorn
dyke, and the voice began again:
81 disobeyed the laws of great ALPHA
and her imperial king and am to die.
Beware Of the temptation to search in
to the royal motives CT attempt to es-

Alpha, the wonderful Land Of the
Changing Sun, is in the hands of its
ruler. Beware! My death torture is to
be lingering and horrible i sink into
deepest detection. Twas eager to return
to my native land and tried to escape
Behold my punishment. Even my bones
and flesh will not be allowed to rest or
decay. Bewarel The king is just and
good, but he will be obeyed.''
Slowly the figure retreated toward
the couch and lay down on it. The
whirring sound ceased, the light along
the wire went out, and the darkness
thickened till the couch and the outlines
of the chamber were obscured. Then
Thorndyke's chair was lifted, as if by
unseen hands, and he was borne back
ward. In a moment he felt the cool,
damp air of the corridor, and some one
raised him to his feet and led him back
to the throneroom.
In the bright light which burst on
him as the door opened the beautiful
wcmen and handsome men moving
about the throne were to him like a
glimpse of paradise. The attendant left
him at the door, and he walked in, so
dazed and weak that he hardly knew
what to do. No one seemed to notice
him, and the king was engaged III an
animated conversation with several la
dies who wera sitting at his feet. Isl
