NntIonaI-"seeret Service.

The audience which Secret Service" at
tracted to the National last night was of
somewhat unusual character Not only
was every seat in the house filed. but it
was perfectly evident that all of those pres
ent were able to understand fine acting
and IN the case OF drama which has en-
joyed the popularity of William Gillette's
play this is not always true. Every artis-
tic point in the piece was instantly and
thoroughly appreciated, and the author
actor received an ovation at his appear
ance which stopped proceedings on the
stage for several seconds.
The production as whole is a good one.
many of the original members of the cast
having been retained. There are three sep
arate and emphatic elements of success in
the presentation. The first of these is. OF
course, the work of Mr.. Gillette himself as
Lewis Dumont. 1t is so rarely that one
finds a man who can assume the part of
hero without being either sensational or
lifeless that blase theatregoegs are some
times tempted to give up the search. Mr.
Gillette avoids both extremes. His method
is so absolutely natural that 1t almost be-
longs in a class by itself. He never seems
TO be laboring for the benefit of the audi
ence: his attention is directed wholly it
would appear, to the people on the stage
and yet every strong situation is brought
out with a touch as accurate as that of an
artist who is finishing painting. Mr.. Gil
lette be perfectly unaffected and in
tensely forceful at the same time. and this
is q craft which few have mastered.
Hope Ross as Caroline Milford does
charming and original bit of work and the
delight of the audience was abundant
when ever she was on the stage. Her act
ing is free from conventonality-br
spontaneous, and full of color. The third
particularly good character sketch of the
piece is given by Walter Thomas in the
part OF Wilford Varney. He and Miss Ross
are as attractive a pair of comic lovers as
Washington has seen in some years
Charles Crosby is extremely good as Lieu
tenant Forey. and Campbell Gollan is
consistent and powerful villain. OF Miss
Sara Perry's portrayal of the heroine ii
may be said that, at any rate. the per
former is not stilted, but she lacks versa
tility, and her enurciation might be i'm
proved. The numerous minor roles are all
fairly we'll played.

who before her departure for the obscure
recesses OF her country home wondered
aloud and before a dozen women-what
Washington would be like when she was
gone. She was so honestly set up with her
own Importance and so dead sure that she
had been the social Kohinoor in the gay
glitter of the Capitals official life that her
conceit would have been pathetic if it had
not been ridiculous-but it was ridiculous.
The little woman's speech set another
woman, bright, polished society veteran
who knows her Washington as a scholar
knows his book, to thinking of a certain
other rustic Congressman wife, who
spent a couple of winters here during
President Cleveland's first Administration.
She had been invited TO a large reception
10 be held by Mrs. Whitney, wife OF the
Secretary of the Navy, and wanting to be
nice and punctual, arrived with her Con-
gressman at the Secretary's residence
promptly at O'Clock. The great drawing
room was empty. but after a little Mrs.
Whitney came down, and with the sweet
ness OF manner that was one OF her dis,in-
guished characteristics said 10 the dis
mayed wife that, though ii was bit early
it would be all the pleasanter. as they
could enjoy a quiet chat and it would be a
good chance for their husbands to get bet
Ter acquainted. Before excusing herself
TO dress the hostess directed her Two guests
10 side parlor and told them TO remain
there until the reception commenced and
that then they would pass in and all shake
hands as If they had just arrived. 1t is
not likely that Mrs. Whitney reveled in
that hour and a half visit, but such was
her infinite tact that the woman felt that
she had done the correct thing. and for the
rest of the winter proudly boasted of the
little incident without ever once knowing.
poor dear, what she was doing TO herself.
1t gave every woman who heard her.
however, a tremendous faith in Mrs Whit
ney's goodness. and perhaps il was that
same goodness rather than her lavish en-
tertainments and splendid gowns that made
her the most popular woman OF her day.
