Great Artistic Triumph.

of course 1t wasn't Mrs. Campbeli's
fault that Pinero made st. OlDherts
such a strong character; neither is she to
be blamed for bringing over such fin
ished actor as George Arliss to interpret
the role of the old diplomatic roue; but
the fact remain5 that of all the players
in The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith." Mr.
Arliss towers high above all else. 1t is
only once in a very great while that one
witnesses such an absolutely perfect per-
Torrance as was given by this English
actor last night; and. good as he was as
CayIey in the Mrs. Tanqueray play, he
was infinitely better as st. Oipherts-and
to those who saw him only as Cayley this
is undoubtedly hard to imagine. His was
the most distinct artistic triumph that
has been scored by any actor ON Wash
ington stage this season.
Herbert Waring came in for a generous
share Of the praise Of the audience for
his generally good work as Cleeve, and
c. 6 Titheradge was at moments con-
vincing as the Rev. Amos Winterheld.
The other parts were well taken care of.
Mrs. Campbell will present The Sec
ond Mrs. Tanqueray" at the matinee to-
day and tonight The Notorious Mrs. Ebb-
smith" will be repeated.

SONG RECITAL AT
WASHINGTON CLUB
Success Attends Efforts OF
Mrs. Ivy Herriott Shade.
Rendered Charming Little French Songs
Was Assisted by Miss Stevens and
Mr.. Angelo Fronani.

Mrs. Ivy HeTriott Shade. soprano gave a
song recital last night at the Washington
Club, assisted by Miss Florence Stevens
violinist, and Mr.. Angelo Fronani. plan
list. Despite the fact that it is Holy
Week, and time when entertainments OF
ali kinds are poorly patronized, the coy
little rooms OF the club were filled with
the friends and admirers of the three
artists.
Mrs. Shades work is familiar to the
music-loving public of Washington. and
her voice has been heard many times in
the past few seasons at prominent en-
tertainments here and in other cities. 1t
is light soprano. capable of mastering
brilliant arias in artistic style. Mrs.
Shade exercises the most delicate dis
erection in the choice Of her numbers Sc
lecting them from COMPOSITIONS which
come within the range, power. and quail
ity of her voice. In this lies the secret
OF much of her success.
Group of Charming French Songs.
Last night she gave group of charm
ing little French songs, including La
Chason des Baisers," by Remberg; Mas
senet's ''PleureZ, pleureZ, mes yeux,"
from lie Cid; Les Files de Cadiz." by
Delibes, and Pessard's "Bonjour. Suzon."
Mrs. Shade sang all four songs with the
grace and ease which always character
ize her interpretations, and her bril-
liant rendition OF the Shadow Song"
from "Dinorah" was received with much
applause. LISTS Die LoreIei' occupied
a conspicuous place on the programme
and group OF English songs proved very
pleasing.
Miss Florence Stevens, the welI-known
young violinist of this city, was the as
sisting artist of the evening. playing the
Wagner Wilheiing. The Prize Song, -
from Die Mestersinger." Like Mrs
Shade, Miss Stevens has become identi-
fed with local musical affairs. and may
almost be regarded in the light of pro-
fessional so far has she mastered the
violin. Her tone is pure. liquid. and re-
markedly smooth. and she plays the
most difficult score with apparent ease.
Miss Stevens is one of the most prom
inent musicians of Washington, and has
won the distinction by reason of con-
scientious study coupled with natural
talent and undoubted ability. Mr.. Angelo
Fronani oficiated as accompanist, and
rendered valuable aid in that opacity.

PROPOSED POE STATUE.
One of the largest firms in the city, with
many employees, is negotiating for about
twenty offices and several of the stores.
The head of this concern has made a
valuable suggestion to the owners, which
might eventually be carried out. and
that is, as the historic corner has been
SO indelibly linked with the memory of
Edgar Allen Poe. that a statue of Poe
be erected either in the court of the main
building or as a principal ornament to the
exterior. thus perpetuating the memory
of the poet as we'll adding another or
nanlent to the city.
THE STRAJIS BLOCK.
Another has suggested that the name of
Poe be given the block, but Messrs.
Brown & Co. state it will be known S the
Straus Block or Building. in honor Of Mr..
L. L. Straus. the president of the COM
pany, who has given much time and at
tention to the scheme.
The Second Baptist church. which was
acquired at the same time. will be demol-
ished just as soon as the congrega ton
can move in the new structure they pro-
pose to erect at the corner of Adams
and Franklin streets, and the improve
ments will be continued down to the cor
ner of Sixth street, thus building up the
entire block.
