The deadlock is broken, After a month
of poor shows and worse business several
attractions of merit are promised for this
week. and the prospect for big houses is
decidedly bright. During the period
named above every Monday has meant the
entrance into town of from four to seven
farces, melodramas or vaudeville combines.
and now only do Washington managers
return TO their former admirable plan OF
booking various matter at every
change in bill. With a new comedy at
one theatre, a -talked-about farce at
another, charming little character play
at a third, a good melodrama occupying
the fourth, refined vaudeville continuing
at the fifth and buTlesque merging into
variety at the sixth and seventh, localities
should feel sure of being provided with al!
the diversity they can desire. Two of the
pieces presented tomorrow were given
their initial performances here. One was

Cofumbia-"The Turtle"

The advent of that frolicsome French
farce, The Turtle" on Monday night at
the Columbia Theatre, may be expected TO
create a furry of excitement, for this un-
conventional diversion proved more than
nine days wonder at the Manhattan The
atre, New York THE Turtle" is French
untenfably so. La Tortue" they call it
in Paris, and it brings to the city the pi
auancy of the boulevard, interpreted by
American players. 1t is a spicy French
dish, with American dressing, thus revers
ing the well-established astronomical
rule. Perhaps undressing would be more
strictly accurate, for its disrobing cpl
sode is the pivot upon which turns the
sensational interest.
The earliest critics of THE Turtle have
been silenced by GOtham's emphatic ac
ceptance of the -sprghtly play. work
that can keep blase New York in mirthtul
mood for a sixmonth must needs depart
from the general order of things, and The
Turtle" seems to have accomplished this
without any great violation of the pro-
pTieties.
A hasty divorce which n sprighuy wife
obtains from her middle-aged husband,
who is too turtlepaced to suit her fancy,
and conveniently French law, which re-
verses the decree after he has innocently
married again, form the basis for story
OF steadily cumulative humor, which is
said 10 become furiously funny in the COM
plications of the last act.
With the endorsement OF a half years
run to representative metropolitan audi
ences at a Broadway Theatre. all fears
should be dispelled as TO the coarseness
or vulgarity of The Turtle" The much
discussed disrobing scene in the second
act may be a trife risque but it is claimed
10 be not in the least suggestive and as
artistically handled by Sadie Martinot is
mentioned as becoming absolutely poetic.
in short, THE Turtle is supposedly
very piquant dish, but so delicately served
that it is palatable to the most refined
taste.

THE PASSING SHOW.
Dog in the manger-dcg in the hay;
Hcll neither Ont nor trirn Il n,,.nr


The man who wrote this simple history
of selfish canine and a mild hammered
bovine probably never imagined in his
Widest dreams that in the dim and dis
tant future so distinguished a person as
Charles Hoyt would find in the jingle ma
terial for play. Had he done so and.
going bit further, been able to prophesy
the sort of play his theme would sug-
gest, the infants of today would not have
been likely to have known anything about
the incident until their wisdom enabled
them to read the story in its original form.
No disciple of good old Mother Goose
could have had the heart to leave hu-
manity such heritage of woe.
Now that the Dog is a dead one and
his removal from the stage seems assured
an extended criticism of his faults and
favors appears to be just a trifle unnec-
essary. But even post-mortem examina-
tions often have their uses and so this
commentary may not only interest those
