o'clock and continued throughout the week.
Though not wholly pleasing and never
startingly good. the bill offered contains at
least three notable features and none that
is irretrievably bad. The most amusing OF
the people booked are the SaVans, whose
acrobatic work is unspoiled by cheap com-
edy; Ray L. Royce. an imitator whose
characterizations go beyond dexterity with
a stick of grease paint, and Eugene Mel
dert, an expert bicyclist. Classed with the
players, who for one reason or another,
reach only mediocrity in their efforts are
Lizzie Evans and Harry Mills, last seen
here with THE Cat and the Cherub,
whose fault is their sketch: Isabelle Urqu-
hart and John T. Burke, whose fault is in
themselves but is not a very serious one.

and the Teuton by Harry Crandall. Sadie

National-.Rupert of Hentzau., :.

Sequels are probably invariably inferior
10 the original stories This Vas the case
with Rupert of Hentzau. as turned out
by Anthony Hope and the fact is most evil
dent in the dramatization when that is
compared With the adapted Prisoner of
Zenda. " now in its fourth year OF a yigor-
Gus dramatic prime. The new play was
first seen in Washington last evening at
the National. with James Hackett in the
double role of the king and Rudolph Ras
sendyll. The result proved a personal tr
umph for the young star, for even the most
cynical OF his former critics are now COM
PEELED to recognize in him undOubted abili
ty So manifest was the approval of the
audience yester- night that an oft-re-
peated demand for a speech finally brought
Mr. Hackett before the curtain and COM
PEELED him 10 speak a few words OF graft
tude in return for the reception given him.
Carefully viewed. the stage version OF
Rupert OF HentZau' is not a great sue
cess. 1t must stand comparison with the
play of ''Zenda" as the thespians row en-
gagged necessarily appear in contrast with
the previous Interpreters OF Mr.. Hope s
characters. Seen in this light, Rupert OF
Hentzau' is crude, dull. dismal and de-
pressing. In romance. one dislikes 10 see
the hero perish. and TO view his corpse,
} Its regal bier, Is ike wearing crepe
from the theatre. The story of the piece
closely follows that of the novel. whole
passages of dialogue being included and the
result is not commendatory.
AS previously ntmated, Mr.. Hackett
| gives splendid Interpretation of
the double part of the King and
/ of Rudolph. He is no longer maudlin or
! over-tra gedyish. He looks every inch
/ the monarch with all his senile imbe-
/ cility: he looks still more the noble Eng

makes the most of the title role, seeming
! despisable while not melodramatic. The

+ Mr.. Hope and previously characterized in

| Howland is amateurish in lighter lines and
impotent in the stronger ones. However,
/ for one of her experience, the young wo-
man promises great things. Mabel Amber
is quite magnetic as Rosa, the gypsy

| The smaller parts are only reasonably fill
