AT THE THEATRES.
CoIumbia-"East Lynne.u


H That even the present moderation in the
weather has not brought the Thermometer
to point at which sitting in an enclosed
space is comfortable is a circumstance un-
fortunate alike to Eugene Blair and to
those who were not included in the small
audience which witnessed her presentation
of East Lynne" last night at the Column
bia. Probably never before in the history
of her experience as a star has Miss Blair
played Mrs Henry Woods old drama in
Washington to house that did not utilize
most of the theatres available standing
room, and it is. therefore. a matter for re-
gret that what was undoubtedly one of the
best renderings the piece has been given
in recent years should have been unpro-
dnctive of reward for those whose con-
scientious efforts made the performance
enjoyable.
1t is also regretable that the superior
work of Miss Blair's company should have
been done in an Offering so antiquated and
faulty as East Lynne For, strong and
moving as the vehicle still Is occasionally,
it is undeniably filled with trite sentences.
illogical situation. and glaring incongrui-
ties. Many Of these might have been easily
eliminated, but since this was not attempt-
ed the next alternative was in speaking the
lines naturally and in following them with
equally natural acting-which was done.
In the dual role of Lady Isabel and
Madame Vine-a role full of womanliness
and womanishness-Miss Blair was what
she has been before in that part admirable
Her lighter bits were done with degree of
girlish enthusiasm that would have seemed
impossible had she not looked so charming.
and her emotional scenes were brought out
distinctly and humanity. The Archibald
Carlyle of William BramweIl proved i'm
measurably above anything else he has
shown here. and though one might quarrel
with him on the score of some of his read
ings, the portrayal was really creditable.
Enrol Dunbar's Sir Francis promises to be
exceedingly good when Mr.. Dunbar is sure
of his speeches. John Sutherland's Lord
Mount Severn was stiff and awkward. John
Robertson's Dill was surprisingly ener-
getic. and Godfrey STEMS Richard Hare
showed how fully he merited the applause
which greeted his entrance.
Certainly best of the women in the
cast-perhaps best of all the support-was
Mrs. Ella Wren. whose amusing imper-
sonation of Cornelia is too well known
here to require further comment The
Barbara Hare of Nora O'Brien might have
been stronger, but was excellent. while
three other women and a child completed
the roster. The entire presentation was
commendable-in view of those that had
gone before and in consideration of the
time for rehearsal, wonderfully so.

GENERAL sHAFTER EXPLAINS.

He Tells Why Soldiers Were Not
Comfortably Clothed.
General Shafter has explained to the War
Department why the soldiers in the Oregon
regiment were without overcoats. Reply
ing to telegram sent him by the War De-
partment, he says:
Commanding officer of Oregon regiment was
told by me the day he arrived that he could
get at once upon making requisition all the
clothing needed lie declined to make requisi-
ton for clothing and wanted blankets and great
coats loaned TO them. The Quartermaster's De
partment has u storehouse in camp, and all they
have to do to get clothing is to ask for it, but
cannot issue clothing gratuiOusly as the colo
mel wishes do not suppose il is the wish of
the Government to force clothing on men under
their circumstances who do not wish it.
In later telegram he explains further:
Colonel Summers was told by me two days
ago that he could draw underclothing so as To
make his men comfortable, and today he has been
ordered to make requisition at once for clothing
necessary to preserve the health OF his men.
Another telegram received at the same
time says:
Colonel Grccneaf has made careful inspection
OF Oregon camp this afternoon; reports physical
condition OF men excellent Many OF them have
overcoats and blankets. and those who have not
do not wish at this time purchase any. Colo
mel Summers will submit estimate OF quantity
required Camp quartCrmaster has ample supply
on hgrd ---
The advantage to the troops in not draw
ing the overcoats is that they not only
save money, but are enabled TO make an
extra amount. The Government allows
each enlisted man certain sum for cloth
ing. II he does not draw clothing to the
full amount of his allowance he is per-
mittal draw fhe haIanca in caSh Each
enlisted man is allowed about $40 for an
oyereoat. By not drawing the overcoat
they are enabled to draw on their muster
