The Acndemy-s.ThrorR the Break



Through the Breakers" which was pre-
sented at the Academy of Music last
evening. fully lived up to the claim made
for 1t in advance-one of the most thrill
ing melodramas that has been produced
in some time, and the audience thorough
ly enjoyed the performance. Owen Davis,
who confesses to being the author. has
supplied a good, logical story, without
the mass OF Inconsistencies that abound
in the average sensational piece, and has
worked out the tale in good shape. His
characters are all strongly defined and
virile. There are the very necessary love
episodes with-the inevitable villain, who
is finally defeated and the curtain de-
scends upon the customary happy finale
of reunited ties. The management has
been prodigal in providing large guam
tity of good scenery, and this portion of
the entertainment is worthy of special
note.
The company has been well selected and
includes a number of players of more than
average merit. j. II. Cossay. in the role
Of Peter Turner. does some excellent
work. while Joseph p. Keefe makes a
great deal out of the part of the revenue
service officer. Capt. Tobias Ramsey, Miss
Nellie EIting, good looking young woman
with a musical voice that she knows how
to use with considerable effect, is a sweet
ingenious Maude Radford, about whom
much of the plot of the play reyolves.
Other members of the cast whose indi-
viduai work Is exceptionally good are
Harry Levian, Arthur Magll, Claude Nc
Coy. Fanny Yantis, Laura Linden, and
Amanda Wellington.
Those who attend the Academy during
the remainder OF the week will find
Through the Breakers" to be a decidedly
good production. There will be a Christ
mas matinee, also performances on Thurs
day and Saturday afternoons.

Kernan,.-.I Reeves, show.

The Herman audiences yesterday hearth
ly appiauded the many good features OF
Al Reeves Show, which proved to be one
of the most acceptable offerings of its
kind that mas been seen in Washington
during the present theatrical year. Be-
sides Mr.. Reeves himself, Inez Meeusker,
a soprano who used to be soloist with
Sousa's band, made large-sized hit, al
though her voice is nothing to what it
was in the days she was featured with the
March King" Still, it is so much better
than the average voice heard in bur-
lesque performance that the audiences
gave her a cordial reception.
Mr.. Reeves still possesses his banjo,
and has few new stories which go with
much zest. An excellent vaudeville per-
formance is contributed by Keely and
Reno. Louise Aubers, Grace Leonard, Mr..
and Mrs. Wiley Hamilton, Swan and
O'Day and Thatcher and Cottrelle. Two

THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
A Delicious Way to Prepare It Boiled
md BnLed

and Baked.
Select plump hen turkey weighing
10 or II pounds. SINCE, draw and
wash it. Prepare the following dress
ing: Put into Il bowl one quart of graf
ed stale bread and n cup of cream or
milk. Add to this teaspoonful of
chopped parsley, half teaspoonful of
pepper. n level tablespoonful of salt,
two teaspoonfuls of finely chopped
onions, four tablespoonfuls of butter
and two we'll beaten eggs. Mix well
together and add a pint of whole oys-
ters. Stuff the crop and body of tur-
key, but not too solidly. Make q paste
of flour and water of consistency to
roll out easily. Roll out into a good
sized sheet. take the turkey that has
been stuffed and we'll tied into shape
and cover it with this paste, and then
sew into cheesecloth.
Put this into kettle, just cover it
with water and smother it for two
hours. not allowing it to come to the
boil. Do this in the early morning.
Then set it off the stove and leave it
in the water until entirely cold. Then
take the turkey out of it's blanket,
gently rub the paste off and rub the
whole surface with butter, pepper and
salt. Place the turkey on its back in a
pan and put in cup of hot water.
Then put into fairly hot oven and
roast for about ~ hours or until 1t is
a rich tender brown. Baste continual
ly. A wineglass Of wine added to the
water in which it is baked gives a de-
licious flavor.

cranberry sauce. pumpkin pie. mince
pie. baked Indian pudding, cider and
coffee. Sometimes oysters would be
added to the list Of dishes. but in the
interior section Of the country these
were not easy to procure. and 1t was
the same with celery. 1t was not an
unusual thing for the boys Of the fam

tiOnal Bird Question.

day by baldheaded eagle why he
cared to let himself be fooled by being
fatted up for Thanksgiving dinner to
make dish for all the greedy mouths
that could afford to get slice OF him.

MES and the Rockies, and l defy the
greedy appetite of your masters. am
all wool and yard wide. I'm the
great American eagle! whoop Lap
"Ah," said the turkey benignly as he
cast plying look upon his proud and
scornful critic, you IRE not civilized
yet, and so you don't know what you
are talking about. You are as wild
and untutored as the savage Indian
and, like him, must delve and fight and
struggle for your miserable existence,
while have more food thrown down
ut my feet than can swallow.
''Then, again, poor devil, you have to
sleep in some cold and dismal Granny
in the rocks, while have always a
warm and comfortable lodging provid-
ed for me. have nothing to do but
strut around and enjoy life, and the
more food eat the better my master
likes it. Out of all your life of free
dom you do not have as many hours of
ease and soiid comfort as l do in my
brief career.

what. 1 don't want to be any emblem

a great nations gratitude?

of farewell thrust. as he swung into
his customary gait and rolled away
over the barn to escape the bullet from
the farmers rifle.-Washington Post.

BLUFF ''CALLED." /"
Russian Diplomat Won Port
Arthur by a Coup After a
Peace Rumor.

Count Muravieffs s most famous coup"
was the grabbing OF Port Arthur. Con-
cerning that bit of active diplomacy on
the part of the late Russian minister. the
following story is being told: Muravieff,
IL is said. heard at the psychological mo-
ment in the negotiations during -Ae Chi
nese crisis of two years ago of Queen
Victorias avowed determination never to
sign another declaration of war
With this knowledge at command he
held the key of the situation in the far
east
He knew that Great Britain would not
risk a war" and, therefore, he read the
brave talk about the open door with a
smile. and received Lord Sallisburys pro-
tests thereby signifying so many pret-
ty phrases and his yelled threats as sim
ply bluff.
In this way. say those who believe the
story, lies the explanation OF that sudden
from Port Arthur after they had gone in
with such brave parade. They were sent
az an ultimatum, but the admiral dis
covered that there was nothing at the
back of the ultimatum.
In short Muravieff's discovery of the
alleged determination of the queen never
to sign another declaration of war en-
abled him 10 accomplish without shot
what Russia had secretly been striving
TO reach for centuries In the language
OF the new diplomacy. IL was the scoop
OF the century
