of Scott Marble-which is confession SUM-

well as written. and so 1t is that, despite
the fact that Davis & Keogh have
neither costumed nor staged the piece

thoroughly enjoyable. When a SUFFICIENT

a hearty reception, though not such a one
as the hitherto displayed merits of Miss

when The Little Host is polished suf-
ficiently.
To begin with. there is not a new idea
in the whole play. 1t continuously re-
minds one of recent good scenes from
other operas and extravaganzas Even
the best work of an extremely able sup
porting company does not save the piece
from dragging through dreaded slouga A
of mediocrity. The old story of a rustic
coming to the city in search of n son
supposed to be a saint. and meeting with
a warm reception at the hands of the
youths roistorous friends. is made t. Co
duty for its thousandth time. This and
the countrymans efforts to extlicate
himself make up the sum total of the
plot, unless the idea of Miss Fox mas
querading as boy is included-and even
this is neither startling in it's novelty
nor in its picturesqueness. Never has
Miss Fox been blessed with a powerful
voice. or with the skill with which to
use it, and she demonstrates this inabil-
ity in her present effort to a signal de-
gree.
In the supporting organization are many
persons who might make very excellent
showing did opportunity present. The
most fortunate of the lot Is John c.
Slavin, whose impersonation of Herr Fine

character parts. However, he makes the
best of a very bad job and imparts about
all the levity discernible in the piece.

The most brilliant and Fashionable
event OF New York's Autumn season was
the wedding yesterday afternoon, at 81.
Thomas's Church. OF Miss Marie
Churchill and Harold Herman John Bar
ing, a member of the great English bank
ing family and a cousin of Lord ReveI-
daughter of the Prince OF Wales. The
conspicuous beauty OF the bride added an
additional interest to the occasion, and
she had as her only attendant a sister of
the groom, who crossed the ocean to
serve as maid. Her gown was of white
and pink satin and chiffon, with picture
hat to match The bridal gown was of
white satin and point lace. The tul!e
veil was crowned with a tiara of dia-
monds and natural orange blossoms
served for her wedding bouquet.
Mr. George A H. Churchill. the brides
brother, acted as best man, and there
were six ushers. The ceremony was per-
formed by Dr. John Wesley Brown. and
the reception was held al the residence Of
the brides father, No. a West Fifty

tives and a few intimate friends Of the
brides family.

Acndemy-.rhc Prisoner of zcnda.

Academy-"Thc Prisoner OF zcnda.''
The third and what Is perhaps the best
presentation of THE Prisoner of Zenda"
seen in this city was given last night
at the Academy Of Music. Washington is
one of E. II. Sothern's stronEholds. and
an actor of more than passing excellence
is required to elicit even the faintest en-
thusiasm with part in which the matt
nee girls idol ever appeared. That How
ard Gould and his capable company were
satisfactory to the large audience present
was attested by the frequent applause
with which the performance was punctu-
ated, and that the star has made great
inroads upon the affections of Mr.. Soth-
ern's erstwhile admirers was amply ex-
emplified by the remarks made In the
theater's lobbies after the piece had been
finished. Mr. Gould should be the authors
realization of the part of the two Ru-
dolphs in physique, voice. and manner.
During the third and fourth acts. where
the star has opportunity for exceptionally
strong acting, he proved himself master
of his art and fully merited the evident
appreciation with which the bits were
received.
AS F'lavia, Margaret Fuller was fully
up 10 the standards set by her predeces-
sors. She combines the queenly dignity
of Grace Kimball with the girlish sweet
ness of Isabel Irving. and succeeds In
making a rational. lovable parsonage of
the unfortunate nobewoman. Alber,
Perry was rather a disappointment as
Black Michael although in the prologue
and the first act he proved very accep-
table. Both r. f. McClannin as Sapt
and Mace Greenleaf. in the role of Fritz
Won Tarlenheim, improved every one of
their opportunities for good work. while
Robert Conness gave a remarkable i'm
personation of Rupert of Hentzau.
Though one entirely different from the
Interpretation of that character seen here
before. the Antionette de Mauban. of
Helen Strickland was very well done.
