The company will come to Washington
on special train next Wednesday and
start in Immediately after arrival on
preparations calculated to effect a per
feet first performance the following
Tuesday night. No organization of re
cent years ohered in Washington has
been stronger in big names than this
combination. Miss De Wolfe herself has
been practically a star for several years.
no production of Charles Frohman, of
the Empire Theatre. of New York, be
ing considered complete, it might be said
without her.
In one respect Miss De Wolfe estab-

of his splendid work in Arizona" Har-

success, Erminie." beside which all his
more recent performances pale into in
significance, will be burlesqued this week
by the stock burlesque company at the
Bijou Theatre. The piece readily lends it
self to burlesqIe, and in the hands of such
clever comedians as Stage Director
Gricves has selected for his company
there is little doubt but that the per-
Torrance of our Minnie" as the work
is called, will be more than ordinarily
funny. There will be ample opportunities
for the Introduction of the large and
handsome Bijou chorus in some of the
late songs OF the day. while such splendid
vccalists as John p. Rodgers. the basso,
and George Gale, the tenor of the COM

The patrons OF the Bijou are evidently
fond of the sort of entertainment pre-
sented by Manager Schlesinger, whose

The Academy-"The Volunteer Or
ganist.D

One OF the most carefully put together
organizations en- tour the present season
is Harry MartelIs THE Volunteer Or
ganist" company, which appears at the
Academy OF Music tomorrow night The
piece was staged by Lawrence Marsten.
That Mr.. Marsten possesses remarka bic
gifts in this line is proven by the fact
that 1t was he who staged the big DrUry
Lane melodrama, The Price of Peace"
for its run at the Broadway Theatre,
New York. He also staged Viola Aliens
In the Palace of the King and I'm
leavened Bread" each OF which was ad-
mitted to be flawless in regard to stage
management and incidental action.
In construction and cohesiveness THE
Volunteer Organist'' easily takes place, it
is claimed, among the best of the numer-
Gus rural plays, for 1t contains we'll
knit story of intensely thrilling Incidents
interesting love affairs. sublime pathetic
episodes, and heroic climaxes. The man
agement says it is "a model of we'll writ

markable emotion, and the best Of com

OF irresistible cheer-ringing strength and
power The drama is in four acts, and
contains that fascinating atmosphere of
romance and manly courage combined
with adventurous exploits performed with
absolute Indifference to personal safety.
and chivolrous bearing that delights
theatregoers who admire heroism in its
most glorious form
The Volunteer Organist'' was drama
tiZed by William b. Gray from hig sue
cessful song of the same title The song
had most phenomenal sale-over 2S5 900
being sold in the United States alone. In
the last act two beautiful full-blooded
ST. Bernard dogs are introduced. 1t is the
business of these animals to rescue from
the storm two little children who have
strayed from home. That the dogs under
stand just what is expected of them is
eVlnced by the earnestness with which
they receive the charge to find the chill
dren and then bound out into the raging
storm. one Of them, Monarch is the
hero of score of rescues. Mardo. the
other dog, is not as large as Monarch
but the two are considered as among the
finest specimens of the st. Bernard ever
brought to America
In the same act there is a church scene

les as being the most absorbing part of
an exceptionally interesting play. In or
der To give this scene a strictly religious
atmosphere Manager MarteH has had
built real pews, altar, collection boxes
and organ. The latter Is a very tuneful
instrument, and is said to cost 81 900. The
windows of the church are fitted with real
stained glass. The cast is described as
an exceptionally strong one. and includes

Last Monday night the mos. important
dramatic event in Baltimore was the de-

Lyceum Theatre held a brilli7 Mt audience
to witness the initial production of the or

Miss Haswell was a strong favolite here
last winter as leading woman of the La
fayette Company and it is unnecessary to
recount her successes. but her legion of
Washington admirers will be glad to
know that the Baltimore public has. even
now, been captivated by her charming
personality and refined methods
The play selected for Miss Haswells s de-
