tion From VI. Hutin.

Senators and Representatives crowded
nearly everyone else out of the ante-room
at the White House yesterday morning
before noon. the hour when the Fifty
seventh Congress opened. There were
so many visitors that the President had
no time to do more than shake hands
and converse briefly even with those who
called on important business.
Nevertheless, it was rather a break in
the monOtony for Mr.. Roosevelt. For the
past two months nearly everyone who
has called at the White House has had
on his tongue a request for some recon-
mendation to be Incorporated in the mes
sage to Congress. The knowledge that
this document was already in type and
that it would not be changed served to
take it for the time out of the minds of
visitors

The Lafnyette-'.A Lady of Quality,

'"e h"i"St'te-S ~ Lazy OF QuHiity.''
The management of the Lafayette Thea
tire and the resident stock company are
acceding to the demand for novelty in
the bills which they present, and last
night the first local stock production of
Mrs. Burnett's dramatized novel, "a Lady
of Quality" occurred at the Berger
house. The play served to bring Julia Ar
thur conspicuously before the public sew
eral years ago, since which time it has
served other stars. 1t is essentially a
one-part play, there being little oppor-
tunity for any member Of the company,
except Lillian Lawrence, who plays the
titular role. The other parts, though
small, are capably filled. and any degree
OF prominence accorded them was due
entirely to the interpreting players.
The story follows that of the book
quite closely. reciting in detail the fiery
temper and domineering tendencies of
Ciorinda Wildairs. The most novel scene
in the play is the murder of Sir John
oxon and the subsequent cool. collected
demeanor of Clorinda. 1t is unique sit
uation, deftly treated. "A Lady of Quail
ity'' is not altogether serious There is
excellent comedy to be found in many of
the scenes, and last nights production of
the play was in every detail thoroughly
enjoyable.
Lillian Lawrence plays Clorinda Will
dairs pleasingly, but lacks the fire and
dash which the part demands. The girl
YVES a hoyden, the woman spitfire, and
although Miss Lawrence acts intelligent

The role is a difficult one. however, and
doubly so when 1t must be prepared
within a week. Antoinette Walker plays
the small role of Anne Wildairs accepta-
bly, and Grace Griswold does a character
bit we'll.
White Whittlesey is an easy, graceful
Duke OF Osmonde, reading his lines in
diligently and making the most of the
few opportunities afforded him in the
role. Charles Wyngate was seen to ad-
vantage as Sir Humphrey Ware, and
Frederic Sullivan scored in a good COM
edy scene in the first act.
The scenery of "a Lady of Quality" is
especially noteworthy. Some very elabo-
rate sets have been prepared by the house
artist and several attractive pictures are
the result. Matinees tomorrow and Sat-
urday.

BrookIyn's New Postmaster.

Senator Plaft, whose voice doesn't seem
SO potent at the White House since the
President refused to retain George R.
Bidwel as collector of the port OF New
Yerk, was one of the early callers. and
confirmed the report that J. H. Roberts
was to be made postmaster of Brooklyn,
to succeed Francis Wilson, who resigned
about two weeks ago. Mr.. Roberts is a
prominent merchant OF the City of
Churches.

and yet one hnds himself laughing. even
against ms "ill, at the irresistibly funny
dialect of Louis Mann. 1t seems almost
impossible to accept him seriously But
it must be said tiuthfuily that Mr.. Mann
has effected a sympathetic rendering of
the simple BOer farmer that evidences
dramatic power that was possibly here
tofore unsupported by many Of his admir-
ers. 1t would be Interesting to see tho
actor in straight role wherein he dig
penses with his dialect, add it is pretty
safe to assume that he would be sue
cessful.
Miss Lipman has always shosn trend
toward more serious work. She possesses
the instincts of the comedieHne, hut sh,,
proved in her performance last evening
that she might also be seen to advantage
in strictly legitimate work. She has a
pleasing personality and rarely fails to
win the attention and respect of her aud
ience. In The Red Klcof'' Miss Lipman
is delightfully."- naive at times. and her oc-
casional efforts at emotional acting are
surprisingly well done. As with Mr..
Mann. however, her audiences look for
comedy. and are loath to accept her
otherwise.
Lionel Adams has the part of young
English surgeon who wins the love OF
simple Boer maiden and causes ali the
trouble, which in the end disappears sat-
isfactorily. Daniel Jarrett plays the viii
lain's role, and makes 1t despicable
enough, while Stephen Maley contributes
a good character sketch of Boer farm
hand.
One of the most pleasing features of
''The Red Kloof'' is the scenic investiture.
Each of the four acts is unusually well
staged, and the scenery is not only illus
trative of the country in which the play is
laid, but is admirably executed. Matinees
