CHAMBER Music SOCIETY.-Mr. AL
fred rthmaier. the well-known 'celliSt of
Baltimore. is TO assist at the second recital
by the Chamber Music Society, and from

need be entertained as to his ability to do

his second work, is in the hands of Mr..

couraging, and only goes to prove that

tions 10 the contrary.

MAUDE ADAMS.-The dramatic sensa-
ton of the local season will be the engage
ment of Charles Frohman's wonderfully
clever and dainty star, Miss Maude Adams,
In j, NJ. Barrie's fascinating comedy, The
Little Minister This engagement begins
at the New National Theater Monday even
ing, February e. and will be for one week
only, with matinees Wednesday and Sat
III day. Miss Maude Adams brilliant sue
cess as a star in New York in this play
is we'll known, and it is an old story how
she entranced q succession of crowded
audiences both at the Empire and Garrick
Theaters for a continuous period of three
hundred nights. More recent and even
greater trlumphs have been made in Bos-
ton and Philadelphia. Miss Adams has
given to the stage a charming creation in
her performance of Lady Babbie so deli
cate IN treatment, so refreshingiy natural
and so cleverly contrasted in its moods of
buoyant comedy and sentimental pathos.
1t is performance that wins the sym
pathy of the audience at the start and
hGldS the attention entranced throughout
the play. Miss Adams is surrounded by
number Of players carefully selected from
the best the English speaking stage af-
lords, and the whole production quite an
ideal one both in its acting requirements
and the picturesque and appropriate scenic
environments and quaint costumng re-
hectlng high credit on the managerial skill
and enterprise of Mr.. Charles Frohman.
The cast and entire production even to
the smallest details are the same which
received such unStintcd praise throughout
the long run in New York. Sale of seats
and boxes will open at the box Office Thurs
day morning.
THE TURTLE. The phenomenal sue
cess of a phcnOmenally successful season
aptly describes that very funny French
farce The Turtle which will be seen
har he of IT.14,.
lumbia Thcater. II ran for 200 perform
ances at the Manhattan Theater in New
York when originally given in this coun-
try, and comes direct to Washington from
TINS prusperO - metropolitan career. No
play produced in recent years was so wide
ly discussed as this selfsame Turtle Trans
lated from the French of Leon GandiI OF
and adapted for the American stage by
Joseph Herbert, it was presented in New
York under the manage ment of Florenz
Zle@ftld, Jr., who is now directing the
present tour. TO the excellence Of the cast
as much as 20 the merits of the play is
due Its phenomenal success. The prevail
ing opinion seems to be that the farce is
the funniest adaptation from the French
that has been seen in this country in many
years, and the company is especially adapt-
cd for the frivolous and light characters
which they are called upon to assume The
members include Sadie Martinot, w. J. Fer
suson, NJ. a. Kennedy, Henry Bergman,
Mrs. Mckee Rankin, Harry Allen, Z. w.
Sallie Berg.
OF all the books that have made success
ful plays none seem more lastingly pOpu-
lar than "A Lady of Quality" and it will
be a pleasure to theatergoers to learn that
Julia Arthur. who is now completing a ten
weeks season in New York a Waliack's
is soon to he here and will again
be seen in her famous characterization of
the dashing Clorinda Wildairs in her mag
nificent production of Mrs. Burnett and
Mr.. Townsend's play. This season Miss
Arthurs success in the play has been even
greater than it was last year, and as she
has made such a notable impression in
this city in it, it is likely that she will
again present "A Lady of Quality" and
also double bill which has met with de-
cided success in New York-"Pygmalon
and Galatea, followed by Thomas Bailey
Aldrich's picturesque little drama "Mer-
cedes.' in which Miss Arthur appears as a
Spanish peasant girl. Miss Arthurs other
successes are 'As You Like It. and lingo
mar"
Crowded houses are said to have been
