One muH go aproad to get the news from

Presidsnt Roosevelt, as we'll as being an
astute politician. brave soldier and keen
sportsman, is an excellent amateur actor,
ana has taken part in numerous perform
ances, mainly produced for charitable pur-
poses. He possesses a good baritone voice
and has figured with conspicuous success
in comic opera, one of his best impersona-
tions being Dick Deadeye in Gilbert and
Sullivan's 'Pinafore'"
The American people are certainly aware
of Mr. Roosevelt's varied accomplishments,

The Lafayette Square.

The Bellows Stock Company will be "at
home" again at the Lafayette Monday
evening, when Bronson Howard's master
piece, Shenandoah" will be presented as
the opening bill. Conceded to be one of the
greatest war plays ever penned by an
American author Shenandoah ought to
prove an excellent vehicle with which to
demonstrate the merits of the stock
company as reorganized by Mr.. Bel
lows for the present season. 1t con-
tains nineteen speaking parts and Will.
therefore, bring out the company in
its entire strength. large number OF
supernumeraries are also required in the
production as well as special scenery and
other stage effects. These have all been
provided for with the same liberality which
has heretofore characterized the Lafayette
productions under this regime The dramatic
story told by Shenandoah Is perhaps suf-
hciently well known to local playgoers to
render superfuous any repetition Of II here.
In writing Shenandoah" Mr. Howard took
for his constructive basis several of the
most interesting periods of the civil war.
The hrst act is la.,. in Charleston on the
eve OF the firing upon Fort Sumter. when
the citizens of the harbor knew almost the
exact hour the attack would begin and
mad gathered in the gray twilight of the
morning to view the bombardment as a
spectacle. The second and third acts are
laid in Shenandoah vailed, when the Union
army, under General Sheridan, and the con-
unuer Generdl Early, were
camped facing each other about twenty
miles south of Winchester. Around these
stirring times the author has built an in
tenseiy dramatic play, full of human in
terest, relieved by an abundance of pretty
comedy Few latter-day plays have made
more lasting impression upon the Ameri-
can public than Shenandoah" After a
prolonged run in New York several compa-

headed by the gifted female baritone, Hell
enc Mora, who has returned from Europe
for this engagement. While abroad Miss
mora appeared professionally in London
and the principal cities of the continent
with such success that she is being urged
to return this season. 1t is likely that she
VIII do so within a few weeks and may not
be seen again in Washington for several
years. Ever since Miss Mora made her
first American appearance she has been
revelation to the theatergoing public. Her
voice, as Is well known, is a rich bari
tone OF great range and purity of tone, and
always under admirable control Her ap-
pearance will be the first of the sea-
son with Hyde's Comedians The other
Yaudeviilians who make up the company
nave been selected by Manager Hyde with
great care, and as he has for many wears
been a recognized leader in vaudeville en-
terprlses, the organization may be relied
upon this season as strong one In fact
Mr.. hyde makes the statement that this
season S aggregation of entertainers is the
pest that mas ever appeared under his
name If this be the case the standing
room only sign should be displayed at
every performance, for in past seasons
Hydes Comedians have always crowded
the theater to overflowing. Last year dur
ing the week corresponding they broke the
record for large receipts at Chase's. Among
the list of performers are Oracle Emmett

ance of Jean FransiolL Troyollo an origf-
nal ventriloauist. will present his manikins
Dooley and Kent, Ethiopian comedians, are
different from the ordinary black-faced
comedians in that they not only have genu-
Inc comic ability, but are also good sing
ers. ORourke and Burnett. the California
dancing duo, will make their first appear
ance in Washington. Hayes and Healy
the long and short of it. are comedians
with good bumps Of comicality. A quaint
ly original entertainer will be found in Tom
Moore, the king OF "coonology." Late az
rivals at the theater may find comfortable
seating accommodations in the second bal
cony, entrance to which is now through

Clyde Fftch's THE Climbers" a new and
original modern play in four acts, which
ran for 200 nights at the Bijou Theater

woman when her husband who was an
aristocrat. married her. The efforts of this
mother and her youngest daughter, backed
by a little coterie of their own, to lead
fashionable life in a frivolous and rather
fast set of peopl. furnish the comedy of
the play. In contrast are the efforts of
Blanche Sterling. the married daughter to
lead noble life in spite of a bitterly dis
appointing marriage. The cast which will
be the same as that employed in the New
York production, includes Robert Edeson,

''The White Slave returns to the local

coming week at the Academy of Music
The story Is woven around the misfortunes
of Lisa who Is made to suffer for n
mothers sin. Every character is care
fully drawn, and all illustrate the man.
ners and customs Of the southern people
The stage settings include the library of
Judge Hardin in the blue grass region of
Kentucky, a plantation rich in tropical
splendor. with distant view of the Missis-
sippi; great old-fashioned southern
house and a picket fence stretching along
road which runs into a cotton field. Then
the saloon of the Belle Creole is shown,
and this is. followed by great conf1agra-
tion which destroys the steamboat, reduc-
ing her to complete wreck during a ter
rif1c rafnstorm of real water. This stroke
of realism is followed by the Red Devil
Island scene and the lifting Of the shadows
of night, the gradual coming of the gray
tints of morning, and finally the rising of
the sun. Everything will be done on
large scale. The cast is made up of play
ers of experience. 1t includes Mis- Alberta
as Liza" Frank Harrington, an actor who
has successfully appeared in a number of
original productions, as the young Ken
tnckian, Clay Britton: J. Hay Cossar as
William Lacy, and others. The costumine
Is effective. being that in vogue In 1857.
BARLEY Campbell knew to what an extent
music enhanced play, and so In writing
THE White Slave he introduced in such
a way as to be indispensable to the ac-
tion. the immortal ballads which have
made the name Of Stephen c. Foster
famous in every land. and in the forthcom-
ing production the songs will be sung nv

Lovers Lane" the new Clyde Fitch
play, which William A. Brady brings to
the Columbia October p, enjoyed tremen-
dous vogue for five months in New York
Immediately followed by a record-breaking
allsummer run in Chicago In both cities
the seating capacities of the theaters were
frequently exhausted, and there were many
occasions when the crowds drove the musi-
clans beneath the stage. 1t Is kaleido-
scopic play, depicting the humor and SEN
timent of small town in Massachusetts,
Clyde Fitch is prolific and very successful
playwright. He has shown that he knows
how to tug at the heartstrings one moment
and send an audience into spasms of mer-
riment the next And he knows, too, how
to speed the sharp-tipped shafts of satire
Heretofore he has given us costume plays,
colonial plays dramas of romance and
comedies rejecting the foibles of fashion,
able life. But Lovers Lane is his first
endeavor in the form of pastoral play. 1t
has been enormously successful.
