CLYDE FITcH's LATEST HIT.
"The Climbers" Proving Success
With Local Tyheatregoers

Local theatregoers are this week en-
joying what is without question the best
dramatic offering that has come to Wash
ington this season, or, as a matter of
fact, for q good long time, and as The
Climbers is played by Amelia Bingham
and her admirable stock company capable
histrionism has never been better ex-
plotted on local stage In this Clyde
Fitch piece the humor and tragedy of the
fortunes of the Hunter family are so
splendidly presented and the satire of
the doings of the smart set" of GOtham's
population Is so keen that the play de-
serves to rank as the very best product
that Mr. Fitch has turned out since his
Beau Brummel.'
Miss Bingham's company is noteworthy
for its general excellence. There is not a
role, no matter how small, that is not In
the hands of a capable player, while the
work of the star herself Is decidedly COM
mendable. WashingtOnians rarely have
the chance to witness such an excellent
performance as is this week being given
at the National Theatre by Miss Bing-
ham. Frank Worthington. Robert Edeson
James Carew, Ferdinand GottschaIk
Madge Carr Cook. Marian Gardiner. Bijou
Fernandez, Ethel Winthrop. Minnie Du-
pree, and the other members of the Bing-
ham company.

That the return of stock company is
always a matter of local pride is again
proved by the active demand for seats for
the temperance of Otis Harlan aud the
members of Chase's Musical Comedy
Stock Company at Chases Theatre next
week in a Contented Woman which
was always Mr. Hoyts favorite play of
all the efforts OF his fertile pen He
wrote it especially to introduce his wife,
Caroline Miskel Hoyt, to the American
public as a star. She successfully ap-
peared in IL until her untimely death cut
short the tours. Then Mr.. Hoyt again
put forth the comedy, with Miss Agnes
Rose Lane-who was selected from host
of applicants on account of her beauty
and ability-in the part formerly enacted
by Mrs Hoyt. Miss Lane has, for that
reason. been especially engaged as the
Chase Company's new leading woman.
Mr. Harlan has a part which is said
to be well adapted TO his peculiar and
attractive style. Mr.. Dunno. Miss Marble
Mr.. Andrada, Mr. Hart and Little Chip
are said to be particularly wet suited to
the parts for which they have been cast.
As always. new vaudeville specialties will
be interspersed generously throughout the
action of the piece. and Mr.. Hoffman. the
versatile musical director, has composed
some new musical numbers.

The Lnfnyctte-''His Exceilency the
Governor"

The Bellows stock company appears to
have settled down to prosperous season
AT the Lafayette. The houses during the
present week have been uniformly large.
A distinct novelty has been announced
for the third week, when Capt. r. Mar
shalrs His Excellency the Governor
will be presented for the first time in
Washington. When the piece was pro-
duced in New York three seasons ago 1t
ran for several months at a prominent
Broadway theatre. When taken on tour,
however. the bookings did not include
Washington, so that its presentation by
the Bellows organization on Monday
night next will be something in the hght
of a premier production.
In His Excellency the Governor MISS
Lawrence will have the role of Stella De
Gex, an operatic singer, which should af-
ford her excellent opportunities for com
edy work The play itself Is described as
a farcical romance, and is laid upon an i'm
aginary island where an English army
officer acting as governor general Is NV

The Whitehall Review says it has
good reason for believing that the Duke
and Duchess Of Marlborough will be the
next occupants of Dublin Castle, ireland,
where the duke will act as Viceroy. Lord
and Lady Dudley are also mentioned, but
as Lord Dudley has never shown any
predictions for public life. and as the
countess is very quiet and retiring, there
seems little likelihood of their accepting
the post even if it were offered II has
always been a grief to the Duke of Mari
borough that Marlborough House passed
beyond the reach of Blenheim, and it is
said by some that it is owing to the hope
or the duke and duchess that they may
be In position to buy back Marlborough
House from the State that the operations
at the site of their new house have been
so long discontinued Now that all the
relatives Of the late Queen have been pro-
Vlded with London palaces there are
some who think it is quite feasible for
the King to see his way to crafty the de
sire of their Graces of Marlborough and

long occupied.

One of those remarkable people who
know everything, has proclaimed to the
world that Mr.. i.ehr has branched into
new field of action, and constituted him
self sole purchaser and designer Of his
pretty wife's gowns. Mrs. Lehr, herself,
is noted for her taste in devising gowns,
but compared TO her husband. she ls-weil.
simply nowhere. While abroad on their
wedding trip. the oracle declares. Mr..
Lehr achieved a wardrobe of splendid ef-
feet.
Two gowns in particular are counted on
to be the sensation of the season here.
The design for each is credited TO her de-
voted husband. One is called the mother
of pearl dress. 1t is a superb white
tulle made over with white chiffon and
white satin. cut extremely decollete. on
the tulle and chiffon are embroidered
curious designs of mother OF pearl Sc
quins in irregular shape. The contrast
OF the two whites is strikingly beautiful
The iridescent CLEAN of the pearl is espe-
cially so under electric lights. The shell
is used unsparingly. II twists and turns
over the gown. and is kept from looking
too heavy at the foot by the innumerable
frills and swish that form the balayeuse.
Worth unhesitatingly stated after this
gown was finished that mother of pearl
sequins would take the place of jet and
metal ones. and that mother of pearl
ornaments would become the fashion and
that these bits of iridescent shells wou.d
be in great demand for the regal gowns
this season.
The coral gown is also of white, soft,
exquisite net, with great branches of
coral worked on the foundation In forks
and circular groups. The blaze of red
against the white is splendid. Coral has
to be worked with in certain stiff designs
for II lends itself to nothing sinuous.
And this idea has been carried out with
great effect on the gown Mrs. Lehr will
probably wear crimson satin slippers and
red silk stockings with il. using coral and
diamonds as jewelry.
