Biiou-"A New York GirI.n

The clatter of the bangtails, the crack
of the whip, and the merry abandon of the
turf are featured at the New Biiou this
week in Howard & Emerson's "a New
York Girl" and that the entertainers do
really entertain was made evident by the
attempts of the two overflow houses yes,

coIumbia-creston clarke.

Creston Clarke, in a performance OF
Hamlet" inaugurated the theatrical sea-
son at the Columbia last night. The occa-
star and the playhouse. Mr.. Clarke, who
in this heydey of the farcieal. the evanes-
cent. and the effervescent has dared to
assist in a worthy revival OF the legiti-
mate. met with a reception that, for a
Washington audience, was unusually cor
dial and the Columbia entertained at its
opening production a large and intelligent
audience, auguring a gratifying and profit
able season.
Creston Clarke's Hamlet is in several
respects unique and in other respects car
ries the veteran theatregoer back to the
days when Booth, Mccullough, Barrett,
and others whose names are conspicuous
on the histrionic roster interpreted Shake
speare to multitudes that embraced all
classes. Mr.. Clarke has followed the pre-
'cepts and traditions of his celebrated pre-
decessors to a degree that shows his true
dramatic temperament, but he gives TO his
role of Hamlet frequent touches OF orig
inality in articulation, gesture and eX-
preston that reveal deep study OF the
greatest of dramatists and the apprecia-
ton oil the nner SnaneS OF meaning found
in the lines Of the master poet. Mr.
Clarke's Hamlet Is well developed; it
gains in strength and beauty as il natures
and his portrayal Of the eccentric Dane In
the last three acts is calculated to arouse
considerable enthusiasm even in the staid
and surfeited critic. His rendition of the
scene with the players, the interview with
the Queen. his mother. and the duel with
Laertes and tragic denouement are espe-
eially strong both in reading and in ac-
tion.
Miss Adelaide Prince, who plays ophelia,
received commendatory applause last
night for her delineation of a difficult
character and aroused anticipation regard
ing her Interpretation of the other Shake
spearean roles in which she is to be seen
during the week.
The cast in the Clarke production OF
the Avon bard's splendid tragedy was gen

gave an exposition Of King Claudius' ad
wiser which could scarcely be improved
upon. and the audience was quick to rec

character. Arthur Balfour made a slightly

Barrett a pleasing and earnest Horatio.
