MRS. BRYAN OR MRS. ROOSEVELT
One VIII Doubtless Become Presi-
dent of the ID. a. Il.

Considerable publicity has been given OF
late to the coming election OF the Fresi-
dent General and other officers of the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
which will come off al their next annual
known before then, however, who viii sue
coed the present president general OF the
society, Mrs. Daniel Manning.
As was told in The Times several weeks
ago. the choice lies between the wives OF
Theodore Roosevelt. the Republican Vice
Presidential candidate, and William Jen-
nings Bryan. II all depends how the ma
tional election viii result. Mrs. Bryan is
net yet member of the society, but she
is eligible, and it is understood that she
has been invited to sign the application
blanks. Mrs. Stevenson, the wife of the
Democratic Vice Presidential candidate is
already member. having served two
terms as president general of the society,
during President Cieveland's regime. She
is also spoken of as an available candidate.
We always try to have the first lady
Of the land occupy the chair of our presi-
dent general, whenever that is possible .
said Miss Hetzel, the registrar general.
| IF she is not eligible the next in sue
cession is chosen. Mrs. Mckinley is not
a member of the society.
! The sentiment among the local chap
| tiers and at the headquarters of the society
| seems pretty evenly divided in their
! choice between Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Bryan. It is admitted, however, that Mrs.
Bryan would make a very desirable and
| acceptable presiding officer, being an &C
! compiished lawyer and excellent paTlia-
! mentarian. This latter qualification has
| been shown al the last annual convention
to be an Indispensable aeco4np lshment of
the first lady of the society.
The members of the various local chap
ters display considerable interest in the
| present political campaign and are doing
! some very efficient missionary work among
/ their voter friends. The society all ever

/ over 10000 and their influence on the po-

The following officers viii be elected

president general in charge OF organfZa-

eral, chaplain general, recording and cor
responding secretary general, registrar
general, treasurer general, historian gen

Torrance of the Lafayette Square Stock
Company last evening" when Henry Ar
thur Jones' great COMEDY drama 1.-The
Masqueraders' received its production in
the beautiful playhouse The reception
was thoroughly in proportion to the mer-
its of the piece and presentation and if the
criterion set forth is followed, the claim
of the management 10 the best perma-
nent organization OUT of the metropolis
viii be truly verified.
The heavy work of the production of last
evening was done by Blanche Bates, John
7. Sullivan. and Eugene Ormonde Miss
Bates has always been a favorite in Wash
ington and last evening ecIpsed all her
previous efforts by her Interpretation OF
the difficult role of Ducie. Her third act
is simply great and the consistency and
charm OF the entire interpretation gives
1t dominance wherever it appears. Nor
is Miss Bates cast among pigmies who
give her prominence by their own insig-
nificance. Equally consistent and admiTa-
Bile is the role Of Sir Brice, assumed by
John T. Sullivan, the fnesse Of the char
aeterization making it truly notable Eu-
gene Ormonde is good throughout and at
one time magnificent His part is a bad
one and only in the third and fourth acts
is there any opportunity for real action.
The parting in the last is impressiyeIy
done. Washington will watch Mr.. Or
monde's future work with great interest.
The smaller roles in the hands of Hor-
Tense Nielsen, Walter Craven, Charles
