The Lnfayette-..His ExcelIency the
Governor

Through a combination of unusual cir
cumstances the Bellows stock company
will be the medium of presenting for the
first tint in Washington at the Lafayette
Monday night one of the most-talked-of
comedies done in New York in recent
years For this reason unusual interest
attaches to the production by the stock
company tomorrow night of Capt. r.
MarshaIrs fantastic play entitled His
Excellency the Governor. The play,
which is described by the author as a
farcical romance. was originally produced
al prominent Broadway theatre. where
its success extended over two seasons.
Although it was afterward taken on tour
OF the principal cities, where its metro
politan success was duplicated. for some
reason Washington was not included In
the bookings. Its presentation by the
Bellows company tomorrow evening will
thus be one CT the novelties of the week.
Captain Marshall is said TO be at his
best in His EXcellency the Governor.
The scenes are supposed to take place
on an imaginary island where an Eng
lish army officer is acting as governor
general and his staff are living in lux
urious splendor. Accckiing to "A native le-
gend the aloe trees, peculiar to the island.
bloom but once in a hundred years, and
when in blossom shed a strange, yellow
ish dust which has tendency to make
suffer from lovesickness in its most vio-
lent form. Just when the trees are about
to blossom the monotony of the island life
is broken by a visit Of member Of the
English Parliament, accompanied by his
daughter, on a tour Of inspection. and
also a famous operate singer who is
on a professional tour of the world.
Around this somewhat fantastic idea
Captain Marshall is said TO have con-
structed a most amusing play in which
romance and delicate farce are deftly in
termingled.

Washingtonians had a first-class oppor-
tunity to note the advance the native
drama has made in the past generation
last week, when "MaZeppa,' a piece that
was at one time calculated to stir the
blood of the spectator, was given at
Chase's, and proved to be a roaring COM
edy. instead of the serious drama its pro-
moters intended.
The revised version of the play, founded
upon Byrons famous poem, was faulty
in construction to an uncommon degree,
the speeches given to the players were
stilted and of a kind in vogue many
years ago, while the comedy was actually
pathetic.
1t was providential that Manager
Chase insisted on the introduction of a
number of specialties, for without the aid
of the Roosevelt trio and the Streator
Zouaves, the fate of ''Mazeppa" would in
deed have been sad.
But poor old Dobbin, billed as Light
ming, by which name he was known back
in the seventies, when ne appeared in
Mazeppa,' showed he still remembered
his business" even il his limbs had lost
their ability to Chamber up the runway
with their oldtime speed. Dobbin sue
ceeded in carrying Miss Jarbeau up ths
incline at a pace that could not be termed
other than a hobble by even the kindest
critic.
The combat scene and this wonderful
flight up the mountain side provided more
comedy for the Chase patrons during the
week than has been furnished by any
band of strolling vaudeville players for
some time.

Daley is inclined to the opinion that
champagne Charlie like most things
| of its kind, requires an immense amount
of pruning before il is brought to a point
of perfection, and says this degree of ex-
cellence was almost reached by the
Thomas play when the managers found
themselves possessed of what are COM
monty known as cold feet and brought
the company to New York and told the
several members that they might look
elsewhere for their weekly pay envelopes.
Jane Oaker. James X Hackett's leading
lady, is singularly fortunate in that she
is the granddaughter of Christian Pepper,
the millionaire tobacco manufacturer, of
st. Louis.
When Miss Oaker first evidenced a fond
ness for the life behind the footlights,
her grandfather opposed the idea, but
finally consented and promised the young
woman 100000 if at the end of five years
she should rise to pre-emiueuce
Now, after three years work. Mrs. Oak er
