Natfonal-"Nathan Hale"

II every actor were as clever as is Nat
c. Goodwin and every play were as stir
ring as is Clyde Fitch's Nathan Hale"
the bill recently introduced in the New
York Legislature providing for the pres
ence Of physicians at metropolitan theatres
would be deserving of serious considera-
tion. The National was so crowded last
night that during the intermissions the
tired people who sat on the floor gave it
the appearance OF a Chinese tea garden
and these individuals, with those more for
tunate, succeeded before the end of the Of
fering's second act in working themselves
up to a pitch of fervent enthusiasm that
seriously threatened hysteria. A couple of
we'll built melodramatic climaXes with
bit or two of pathos, plenty of humor,
some admirable acting and few patriotic
speeches may generally be counted upon
to move an average gathering TO making
great demands in the way of curtain calls
and when all of these qualities exist in a
superlative degree the result must be like
that OF yester- evening.
Seriously and frankly. Nathan Hale
Is very close approach to greatness for
Mr.. Fitch Extremely smooth and able in
its construction, 1t affords contrasts so
sharp and situations so full of possibli-
ties that its force is only as noticeable as
II Is notable because or the effect pro-
duced. The theme of the piece and its
evolution are boldly and daringly uncon-
ventional, and the story. though hardly
original, inasmuch as a great deal of it
was taken from Revolutionary his tory and
the remainder fashioned from the usual
material, is interesting and we'll told.
Nathan Hale" is probably one OF the
three best plays of the current season.
Though rather staid in appearance and
robust in manner for the mere youth the
patriot was in 1IT5-he had just graduated
from Yale College and the Yale students
OF that day were not given TO the carousals
notable in those of this age-Mr. Goodwin's
work in the title role is virle and care
fui. He achieves much by suggestion and
shows the wide range of ability of which
he is capable in a manner that would be
hardly possible with any other player on
the American stage. Miss Elliott is also
extremely effective in the opposite part
and runs as wide a gamut OF emotions as
does her husband. William Ingersoll shows
his usual scholarliness and polish in his
characterization of a scoundrely British
officer; Thurlow Bergen is excellent in
light comedy role; Neil O'Bren contrib
utes brief but graphic sketch: Frank
Mayne is the usual impossible negro, and
Thomas Oberle, Clarence Handyside. and
Richard Sterling are thoroughly adequate
Gertrude Elliott Estelle Mortimer, and
Hattie Russell also deserve and received
praise. Nathan Hale" is beautifully
staged-a fact which will be appreciated
when the stage hands are taught to set
the mass of canvas in less than twenty
minutes

AT THE THEATRES.
CoIumbia-4Trilby..

In a speech made before the curtain OF
the Columbia Theatre last night T. Daniel
Frawley, whose company opened what
promises to be long local season with
''Trilby,' averred that the enthusiasm OF
the audience frightened him. He implied
that so much applause must come from
charity rather than from appreciation. This
sentiment was expressed because Mr..
Frawley spent the evening behind the
scenes and did not see the performance
given by the organization drilled and book
ed under his direction. Even modest
man could not have had so poor an opin-
ion of the rendering given Paul Potter's
dramatization Of George Du Maurier's nov
el had he witnessed it.
Since the Washington manager has stat
ed that his combination is in no sense
cast which appeared yesterday evening
was the best ever retained for an extended
term in this city. When it is stated that
few of the visiting troupes which the sea-
son brings excel that which presented
"Trilby'' and that only the original Gar
den Theatre production was superior to the
one at present under consideration some
idea of the bands merit has been given.
Mr.. Frawley has secured a number of eX-
trained by him for contemporary exigen-
cies that the ensemble is all but faultless.
There is not a single inferior performer in
the company, and few who might be term
ed mediocre.
Taken individually most praise for last
nights performance must go to John E.
Kellerd, whose Svengalia is. in repose and
motion a remarkable bit of work There
are possibilities in the role which Mr.. Kel-
kAe HI ~nTzrN
throughout is most able. the death scene
in the foyer of the Cirque des Bashi
BaZouks being really marvellous. Burr Nc
Intosh and Alfred Hickman, members of
the original presenting company, are seel
as Taffy and Little Billee. assuming the
parts with distinct credit to themselves.
The last of the Three Musketeers of the
Brush" is portrayed fittingly and robustly
by Myron Calice, while Geoffrey Stein ap-
pears as Gecko and provides 50 powerful a
characterization that he is barred from all
chance of ever supporting Richard Mans
feld-which bideous fate is deserved By
him. The Zou Zou of George Trader, the
Dodor of Frank Mathieu. the theatrical
manager of Harry Gwynette and the DR..
Bagot of George CASTOR are all notable.
Mary Van Buren is Trilby and a some
what disappointing one. Miss Van Buren
always seems conscious that she is acting,
and, as a result, is mechanical and fee
ingless Her portrayal is adequate and
nothing more. Mrs f. NJ. Bates and Ma
thilde Cottrelly, who are among the grand
old women Of the stage, are excellent as
Mrs. Bagot and Madame Wizard, while the
dancers who appear in the studio scene all
have shapely ankles and pleasing faces.
The production is well staged and with due
attention to detail. THE Charity BALI
will be the next offering OF the Frawley
Company.

d-EaudeyiIIe.

Despite the size of the crowd that at
tended the Easter rolling at the White
House yesterday afternoon the matinee
performance given at the Grand was well
attended and the audience gathered ap-
peared TO be most appreciative. The bill
offered was one OF the best as well as of
the longest ever put together by Managers
Burke & Chase. 1t is opened by Hadley
and Hart, who extract music from various
instruments of more or less practical de-
sign. Following this team the Harvey
Sisters sing the conventional serio-comic
ballads and end their act with an ancient
discussion over a note handed them from
the auditorium. Neither woman is above
the average, but the act has the merit OF
possessing vim and helps to eniven the
performance. Edward F. Reynard stimu-
lates the minds OF his auditors TO imagin-
ing that the dummies he holds sneak and
incidentally says many bright things.
while the programme printers have COM
bined with the directors OF the theatre to
underline and headline Georgia Gardner
and Edgar Atchison-Ely. in whose presen-
tation of "A Wife's Stratagem" is intro
duced some admirable travesty work
After an orchestral overture George Fe-
liX and Lydia Barry make their bows in a
nonsensical sketch, entitled The Vaude-
vile Craze" During its enactment Mr.
Barry does some surprising things aero
batically and Miss Barry renders two bal
lads in sweet contralto voice. She also
displays a pair of shapely ankles to good
effect. Jack Morworth's monologue proves
one of the most laughable recently heard
here, and Wormwood's dogs and monkeys
perform no end of new tricks. The Boot
black Quintette,' which was not present
at the matinee, arrived in time for the
evening performance and made something
of hit. Vaudeville will be temporarily
sidetracked next week at the Grand for an
operatic season by the Grau Company of
New York.

waited notes required by the score with per-
feet intonation and notable power Her
gowns are magnificent and her jewels daz-
zling. Mrs. Hopper is perceptibly i'm
proved, especially in her dancing. The far
famed costume worn by her in the last act
emphasizes a critics familiar comment on
the dress-something expressing surprise
that nothing or next to nothing should
arouse such concern. But as beauty un-
adorned is adorned the rmost--
There was great pleasure manifest
among the newcomers and the oldtimers at
the impersonation of King Menelaus, con-
tributed by Ferris Hartman. Absence from
the city for full decade has not caused
some to forget Mr.. Hartman's remarkable
representations of years agone, and SO the
revelation OF last evening was doubly well
come. In comparison, the co-featured Tom
Seabrooke fails to shine, and the aero
batie galafutions of Sol Solomon and
Wensley Thompson are fiat and insipid.
William e. Philip, formerly of the Boston
ians, is rather disappointing as Paris by
reason of more excellent work previously
done In the smaller parts none is es-
pecially commendable except Joseph Miron,
whose rich basso is the best voice in the
company. The chorus is large and the
scenery adequate and we'll painted.

Deafness CANNOT be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumpling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is theresult, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nihe cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness (csused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

One would judge from the mum.
Der of cases Of fever mentioned In
the columns of the News from
week to week that Sequachee is an
unhealthy place. Such ~ not the
case. Few towns in the valley are
more healthy than Sequachee, and
with due precautions many of the
cases OF sickness that have occurred
could have been averted. There
has been only one case of real ty
phoid fever and that unfortunate
ly turned out fatally, The other
cases of fever have been such that
prompt treatment has cured in a
few days and with practically little
or no medical attendance. There
have been several cases of chills
and fever, malaria, but home RENE,
dies have put quietus to the dis
ease. Taken all in all Stquachee is
the healthiest location in the Val.
ley If the other papers of the
valley reported their sick with the
same degree of accuracy that the
News does, a large portion of theil
space would be devoted to the
chronicling of disease.
