THE Girl From Paris has everything to
delight the theatergoer who seeks for
lively entertainment in merry jest and
song, fine scenery and pretty dances.
1T is to laugh is phrase which is
frequently in evidence throughout the
piece. and certainly the aim of the COM
edy to create incessant laughter has
been very successful. The story, which
concerns the charms of a gay Parish
enne, who fascinates and ensnares every
man she meets, produces most surpris-
ing and laughable complications. The
merriment of the play is well kept up by
the exceeding brightness of the dialouge.
The music is of the tuneful character
that becomes popular at a single hear

for someone to ask, gently but firmly,

took the depot here for that of Hacken-
sack or Squashville and so drifted into
the wrong town. Such errors have been
made before and the most charitable
thing to say for Mr.. F'rohman is that
the performance at the Lafayette Square
rather than design.
When, ten days ago, the innocent and
child-like press agent of Under the Red
Robe" came to town and announced
his attraction with seraphic smile no

NationaI-Benefit concert

The program which will be presented
by Haley's Military Concert Band at the
benefit TO be rendered the Morton Cadets
at the National Theater this evening. will
be attractive in the extreme. 1t will in
clude both the light and the classic in
music. Mr.. Haley, the popular and eff
cient leader of the band, is as well versed
in the art of knowing what the public
wants and expects as is John Philip
Sousa himself Therefore, there is no
doubt that the program will be attrac-
tive and that it will be enjoyed to the ut
most by everyone who attends the per-
formance. The soloists of the evening
will be Miss Pearl Lynch, a soprano of
much more than the ordinary amount of
merit, even for a concert singer; Mr.
Joseph Hama, cornetist, and Mr.. William
Haley, who will play a solo on the flute
Aside from the fact that the concert is
to be enjoyable and the program varied
1t should attract attention. since it is for
the purpose of helping the boys who con-
stitute the representative military com
pany of the Capital City in the field of
competition. The Cadets are a credit to
Washington, and every Washingtonian

lease them from the debt incurred while
defending their position as representa-

watching closely. the consistency and
clearness of the acting: the character

ly simply because so much in keeping
that one could hardly help accepting all
the details as Il matter Of course. But
Mr.. Farnum himself is so much the op-
posite OF the role, in nature as well as
looks, that one knowing him could hard
ly see how his round. boyish face could
be transformed into the long, stern one
of the experienced officer. or how his
rather short self could be made as saunt
as that of the lieutenant. After seeing
the trick done it seems even more sim
pie than the hours of patient study on
every detail would warrant.
The face is first covered with what Is
technically known as a "clean makeup.
and really lends a glow of youth TO the
features. This is covered with a coat of
brown both over cold cream. the COM
bination working a great deal in making
the visage look weatherbeaten. a bit of
dark paint on each side of the nose gives

cheek, of sharpness under the eyes and
of firmness from the lips. These same
colors. with a little blue. make the neck
gaunt and bony, while a touch of the
last hue to the cheeks makes them pre-
sent an unshaven appearance.
The eyes are most difficult to change,
but heavy lines of black under and
around them, with judicious blending
of color sets them far back in the head.
Then the brows are pushed back and
blacked the same way, giving them
ferocious look that is nothing if not

to make it perfect.
