is player, and all her pieces are pro-
duced under her personal direction and
supervision. Last, but by no means least,
she is not one of those stars who wants
the centre of the stage all the time, and
discharges an actor as soon as, ii is dem
onstrated that he makes a hit. Instead of
this, she is always on the lookout for ma
terial to add to her already strong COM
| pany. Another thing Miss Irwin always
provides for, is to please the eye with
pretty women and handsome gowns. Her
new play is constructed with that swing
! and smoothness which give to the songs
and witticisms the effect of spontaneity.
Chase's-Empire Vaudeville Company
Like Lochnvar, from out the West
comes the organization known as the EN-
pire Fashionable Vaudevillians, to play at

ganized at the Empire Theatre, in Cleve-

petent company. she will be seen In what
is described as the most charming little
comedietta in modern vaudeville. IL is
entitled "A Quiet Evening at Home" and
its possibilities for humor, which are
practically unlimited have been employed
to the best advantages, so the press agent
says. tombstone Bennett Is one of those
stars so well known to all playgOefs rs
to need not the usual advance fare of
trumpets.
AS an extra attraction the Empire COM
pany will present Ivan Tschernoff's troupe
of educated dogs, twentyfour in number,
who perform tricks and feats of canine
intelligence that seem almost Incredible

Edward VII, King OF England and En-
peror of India, in his time has been OF
lively humor, like many of his distin-
guisbed ancestors. but like them he will
probably adopt a changed system OF life
on accession TO the royal robes. His his
tory as Prince of Wales has often been
COMPARED with that of Prince Hal, who, on
being crowned as Henry V, of glorious
and Mansfeldian memory forsook his
familiars Falstah Nym, Pistol. and Bar

station.

There has been a change in the man
agement of the stock company at the La
favette Theatre, and since last Monday
night Mr.. Walter Clarke Bellows. VINO
has formerly occupied the position of
stage director, has been the manager of
the company. Mr.. Berger still retains his
position as manager OF the theatre, out
has relinquished control over the COM
pany, and Mr.. Bellows is in supreme con-
troll behind the footlights
simultaneously with the change were
inaugurated several new plans, none the
least important of which was an effort
to provide plays that are better adapted
to the demands of the Lafayettes audi
ences than some of the offerings that have
thus far occupied the Stage. The reduc-
ton in the charge for seats has resulted
in a series OF much larger houses during
the week and there is every evidence that
this season of prosperity is not to be
shortlived Mr.. Bellows will make every
attempt to warrant patronage at the
hands of Washington theatregoers and
with his experience and knowledge of the
tastes of the average stock audience he
should make u success of his new ven
ture-new only in so far as regards the
Capital as he has had his own organiza-
lions in San Francisco, Denver, Cincin-
natl, and Indianapolis.
The present company will remain at the
Lafayette until about the middle of May,
when most of the players will be taken to
Denver, where Mr.. Bellows is under con-
tract to conduct stock season for fif-
teen weeks.

The news of Henrietta Crosman's big
success in Mistress Nell' evidently
reached Pittsburg in advance of the ar
rival of the actress for her engagement in
that city last week was one of the SEN
sations of the present theatrical year
Miss Crosman appeared in the Avenue
Theatre, a house that had been closed all
season, but this fact did not deter the
people OF the Smoky City from crowding
the place to the very doors and according
TO Mistress Nell' and its interpreters a
rOusing reception.
E. II. Sothern bids fair TO soon become
recognized in the theatrical world as the
most unfortunate player of the country,
for last TUT sday, just as the curtain lad

the Grand Opera House, Cincinnati, the
theatre was discovered to be on FIRE and
the entire production of the drama was
destroyed.
This loss, coming Immediately after Mr..
Sothern's enforced idleness on account Of
an injury to his foot, received in Balti-
more the week before he was to have
opened his engagement in this city will
result in a loss TO the player and his
manager, Daniel Frohman, OF more than
$780, 900.

| man would decide to discontinue the pres
ent Sethern- Harmed tour in Hamlet" and
disband the company, rather than go TO
the expense of having duplicate produce

Another musical organization that will
close its season soon is the Lulu CHASER
company, seen week before last at the
Columbia Theatre, this city, in Sweet
Anne Page Miss Chaser appeared In
Harlem last week to such small-siZed au-
diences that she determined that 1t was
no use to longer expend her money for
the sole purpose of cavorting around the
centre OF the stage and seeing her name
on the billboards.
The experiment has cost a small for
tune, which is all the more to be regretted
as personally Miss Chaser is a clever
soubrette. and with suitable piece would
undoubtedly win artistic and monetary
favor. The CHASER company is scheduled
to stop work next Saturday night.

tested in the coming Of the singer of coon
