his shoulders.
The Newsky troupe of Russian dancers,
eight in number displayed a number of
strange and novel dances that were very

The MISUNDERSTANDING

Last night the Lafayette stock COM
pany gave its one hundredth and fiftieth
performance in Washington and the oc-
casion served to bring out the company's
admirers in force. The house was pack
ed and the auditors permitted no oppor-
tunty to slip by that might allow them
to manifest their appreciation of the
players work. and of the splendid revival
of Camille" with which the company
will fill out the week. Satin souvenir
programmes We're distributed and every
thing was done to make the occasion A
gala one.
Camille" is the work of Alexander
Dumas, fills. While built around the life
Of woman who knows not the meaning
of virtue and whose creed is the World
the flesh, and the devil" though 1t may
deal with such woman, it unfolds in its
telling one of the strongest and most
vital love stories ever converted into
dramatic form.
Dumas heroine has been essayed by al
most every emotional actress living. It is
unlikely that two women ever played Ca
mile alike. so that Percy Haswell in
giving her own conception OF the part
had no fear OF scattering tradition to the
winds. She proved q surprise last even
ing, and although Washington has accus-
toned itself to seeing the Lafayettes
leading woman in a succession of parts
indicative of sweet, innocent girlhood. her
local friends Immediately recognized and
appreciated her careful Interpretation and
applauded accordingly. Miss Louise Mack
intosh played Nine. Prudence the mil
liner, and gave clever and amusing por-
trayal of Camille's hypocritica. neighbor.
Miss Grayce Scott proved a charming
Nichette. Miss Katherine Field was an
effective Nanine and Miss Violet Kimball
an acceptable Olympic. In Armand Du-
val, Eugene OrmOnde finds part well
suited to him and gave highly commend
able Interpretation. John T. Sullivan gave
an admirable portrayal of the Count de
Varville, and Charles Wyngate won favor
in the role of CASTOR. John Daily Murphy
got all there was out of the small part of
Gustav. and Walter Craven played Mons.
Duval, ST.
Camille" is given on the same plane of
excellence which has marked all of the
Lafayette company's previous Efforts APP

furnished and the production is in every
way a commendable one. Matinees Thurs

the stage with correct idea of quaint
humor.
Last evenings immense audience at tn
Academy Of Music clinChed this opinion
and granted Miss Melville and her compe-
tent company a hearing, and an enthus-
iastfc reception. There is something
unique in the play Sis Hopkins in
that il is the only idyl ever built about
a character The old story has been taken
and elaborated by T. f. Rose, md today
appears as an excellent vehicle for the
comedienne. The development of tho
shy PCsey County girl into the ac-
complished woman of fashion is well told
in dialogue and situations, humorous and
natural. The rendition Of the many odd
savings of sis" was well received for
not since the notes of Puddin Head VIII
sons" calendar have more unique ideas
been expressed in such quaint words.
There is much in the play to appeal II
all portions OF house and this was dem
onstrated last evening. Miss Melville may
be well pleased with her local reception,
getting several curtain calls and numer-
