The NntionaI-E. H. sothern.

E. H. Sothern's big success comes 20 the
National on Monday evening. The play is
entitled ''If l Were King and, as its title
ten specially for Mr.. Sothern by Justin
Huntly Mccarthy, and is unquestionably
so far one Of the big successes of the sea-
son. The theatre is primarily place OF
diversion, but that trivial end can be
achieved in conjunction with an educa-
tional object with 20 detraction from the
pleasure of the ignorant and a great en-
hancement of the joy of the intelligent.
In choosing his stage subjects, and in
exhibiting them. Mr.. Sotheru has of late
years unobtrusively exerted the power of
public enlightment. He has introduced
historical literary figures-Richard Love-
lace, Sheridan, and. in this latest produc-
tion, Francois Villon-whose reverential
presentation will cause a general desire
for biographical learning, resulting in re-
search, often in the most superficial way.
yet attentive enough to add to the knowl-
edge of the casual playgoer
In Mr.. McCarthys story Villon unwit-
tingly recites his verses antagonlstic TO
the King of France to that monarch, who
gives him a seemingly impossible task to
perform TO save himself from death. Vii
lon is created Constable OF France for one
week, in which time to vindicate his crit
icisms of the Government set forth in
his poem, If Villon Were the King of
france" Before this Governmental ad-
vancement the Docr has rescued a court
lady from a ruffian. and meeting him as
the Constable, she does not recognize him,
and imDortunes his aid in behalf of the
Villon she Knows. learning to love the
real Villon the while. When he reveals
himself 10 her she recJils from one Of
low birth, vicious life, ard a deceitful
wooing. But her hear soon softens. and
she pleads with the king and shares her
lovers exile the diminished punishment
that battle bravery wins fer him.
In telling this simple story Mr.. McCar-
Thy, it is sIid, reveals an unexpected lit
erary valua. Indeed. in passages he rises
to imaginl.i:a heights Of great poetic
beauty, and one feels at times than an An
glo-Saxon Pcstand has been discovered.
Mr. Sothern's role, that of Francois
Villon was written by MIR Mccarthy with
due regard TO every quality that would
afford this star the fullest exercise OF

successful new comedy drama, written by

The reaction that was expected by the
local amusement caterers after the some
what phenomenal business enjoyed by the
washington theatres during the past
three weeks evidenced itself during the
past week. when, with but one or two ex-
ceptions, the business was only fair. Ber-

Chase's return to straight vaudeville was
rewarded by a series of crowded houses.
and the reception of the old policy of this
playhouse left no doubt as to what the
Chase clientele relish. The Academy OF
Music. with Lost River as the attrae-
tion, enjoyed a prosperous week, while
a revival of "Pudd nhead Wilson" at the
Lafayette drew to that theatre number
of big audiences. The Bijou, with good
burlesque and an excellent bill of vau-
deville. was visited by many large and
appreciative audiences, while the Lyceum
did we'll with The Bowery Burlesquers.
The COLUMBIA this week will be ooou-

in light comedy offerings. but this

Academy-aThe Heart of MaryIand.~

With every recurrent dramatic season,
in the succession of attractions offered,
there are always one or two. or perhaps
three or four, which, by their story, their
characters, abiding heart interest and
scenic attractions have attained a perma-
nent hold upon popular favo: and the
stage.
Foremost among these is David Bel
asco's "The Heart of Maryland. which
will be presented at the Academy Of Mu-
sic next week. The cast will include
capable company specially engaged to in
terpret the many strongly individual
characters that have as their mission the
narration and development OF the story

in this city. "The Village Parson" is the
name OF the new Offering, and it is claim
ed for it that it is one of the most nat

New Orleans some years later and are
recognized ny the lawyer. The parson is
pointed out 20 the officers OF the law as
fugitive from justice. Further identifica-

before. The next act shows husband and
wife living in adjoining quarters in a
squalid quarter of New Orleans, where
their little blind child in wandering
through the halls, accidentally enters the
parsons room just as he is about to com
nit suicide. The voice of the child recalls
him to the world just at the moment the
wife enters searching for her. The couple
