impress It's moral purport. But despite the
supernatural Intervention that is invoked
the play is strongest in it's human quality.
1t is intense and energetic in every mo-
ment of its action. Although presenting
magnificent revelation of the modern re-
sources of the stage, it is a wholesome re-
turn to first principles, in that it grapples
pictorial posing to take the place of per-
sonal endeavor in the part of the actor
Mr.. Sothern, both as the wicked prince
and the pitiable creature into which he is
transformed, showed fine poetic sympathy
with his theme as well as dramatic Vigor
in expression. Miss Cecilia Lotus portray
ed the principal feminine role with grace
and gentle dignity. The part of the Arch
angel was played by Mr.. Sydney Mather
with the discretion which 1t so rigidly re-
quires.
The play has shared the common fate of
conspicuous dramatic successes in having
the charge of immortality placed against it.
One of it's scenes presents picture of court
corruption, somewhat similar to that of the
banquet scene In Quo Vadis,' and the plot
hinges conspiracy against the purity
of a girl. 1t is to defeat this plot, which
he himself set in motion, that the proud
prince devotes his efforts-offers to sacrifice
even his life. A resolute purpose to detect
pruriency would be necessary to hold this
phase of the piece above dramatic intensity
and dignity of expression In the auditors
attention. The play is peculiarly happy in
rejecting the splendid idealiSm of it's lofty
inspiration. 1t Is seldom that situations so
moving and climaXeS so intense are devised
without relapse into mere stage trickery.
The greatest enthusiasm was manifested
by the audience last night, who remained
for several minutes after the final descent
of the curtain to testify its approval by
applause.

Academy.

The Two Little Waits" entertained and
pleased the Academy audience last night
in a, melodramatic attraction by that name
and incidental to the plot they found time
to render several specialties which were
cleverly executed and well received. The
story is one concerning life in the great
metropolis, and deals with a loving family
separated by the efforts of the fathers and
husbands supposed best friend. A happy
home is broken up, the father loses his
fortune. and the mother, with her two
children, take to the streets, where thew
live the life of the lowly. me production
is equipped with up-to-date stage mechan-
ism, the moving clouds and moon effect in
the first act being something seldom at
tempted or seen in attraction of that
kind. snow scene, with the white flakes
rolling over and over in their downward
course, was much out of the ordinary. The
second act was brought to an end bv a
thrilling rescue of one Of the little tots nv
her small brother at the head of a souad
Of police Blanche Shirley essayed the dual
roles of the loving mother and that of the
adventures, who We're supposed to be twin
sisters. The Lamb children, Stanley and
Lolita, were in the cast as the waits and
showed evidence of careful training.

SOCIAL CONDITIONS.
Ministers Told Of Methods for Definite,
Practical Charity.

At the central ministers meeting yester-
day Mr.. Charles F. Weller. general secreta-
ry of the Associated Charities, spoke of the
opportunity which the Associated Charities
offers to clergymen who desire to have their
people enlisted in definite, practical
Christian service. He told the story of one
comparatively poor church in which thr-
teen friendly visitors to thirteen neglected
families had been enlisted. and the pastor
said, year later. that - other work in
which the church had ever been interested
had done more to develop the spiritual life
of his congregation.
The speaker exhorted the clergymen to
endeavor to familiarize themselves with
conditions in the alleys and neglected neigh
borhoods Of Washington, to study the move
ments for the improvement Of housing con-
ditions, the prevention of consumption and
the development Of better home life among
the destitute, and to lend the influence of
their churches in developing a public opin-
lon which will bring about the improve
ments needed to lower the excessive death
rate in Washington, and to clear out some
of the uninhabitable shacks where families
are living in conditions unworthy OF brute
beasts.
After the meeting several Of the clergy
men made engagements with Mr. Weller to
speak to their various congregations about
social conditions and social service in the
national capital.

been forced. In her limitations of Marie
Cahill. Lillian Russell, Mrs Carter and
Fougeire she was simply irresistible, and
aroused the greatest enthusiasm and laugh
ter. Her voice is still good, and, possessing
a fine artistic instinct, there is not a point
lost. Another newcomer was Miss May De
Sousa. and, to use d racing phrase, she ran
a close second to Miss Templeton In re-
ceiving praise from the audience. Miss De
Sousa is unusually good-lookng, has a
good voice. and, in addition, is quite an
actress-three attainments most unusual in
musical comedy. Miss Mabel Carrier, the
third member of the trio, sang and danced
brilliantly, her duet with William Gould
calling for unlimited encores. Miss Carrier
belongs to Washington, and her many
friends In this city have watched her prog
ress with the most gratifying satisfaction.
Miss frankie Bailey was put forward to
attract attention, which she undoubtedly
did.
In the masculine roles there was little
that was new, Mr.. Charles Dox being the
only newcomer, and he acquitted himself
admirably. Little Arthur Dunn. Alexander
Clarke and William Gould were as funny
as ever, Mr.. Clarke especially showing inn
rrovement in the part of Gen. Hardtack

Empire Theater

The initial performances of 1.-The Scout.
Revenge" were presented at the Empire yes
terday afternoon and last night before two
large audiences. AS in all melodrama offer
ings there was the usual hero and the finish
ed villain. who stops at nothing to accom-
plish his purpose The play is laid in Texas
and from this fact alone it can be imagined
that it is exciting enough to satisfy those
who have an appetite for thrilling episodes.
The story tells Of Buck Hanshawe, a govern
ment scout who is in love with the daugh-
ter of Col Adliaf Benton, a millionaire
stockman. Wilfred Castro. who is the head
of a gang of robbers. tries to force his af-
fections upon the rich, mans daughter and
is the choice of the girls father who be-
lieves him to be an honest prospector. The
scout In the end produces enough evidence
to convict his rival and win the approval
of the girls hand. Katherine Dooling was
quite clever in the portrayal of Tom ALL
alone, a waif. while Sue Seymour. as the
stockman's daughter. gave a good idea of
typical southern girl Adolph P. Osler
and John Mckee divide honors In the role
of the scout and the villain respectively.

Chase's Theater,

The vaudeville offering at Chase's last
night proved interesting and entertaining
TO very large audience. The Meredith
Sisters were first on the program and sang
several songs with good effect. They rem
dered H1awatha" in a handsome stage
setting. an Indian wigwam in a wild loca-
ton being depicted and the singers were
attired as Indian maidens. Dorothy Ne
Vile, LAS 1t Happened" in a song, found
several places in the audience where there
was Girl Wanted" and evoked mirth
In various other ways. The short sketch
"a Touchdown although lacking a trife
in nationality, was presented by George and
Ada Tomson in such way to provoke
the greatest laughter in the audience.
Fanny Rice was welcomed as an old friend
by the assemblage and after several new
songs proved more entertaining than ever
with her animated dolls. While depicting
to her auditors in cynical way expert
ences in the life of an actress a beautiful
bouquet fell at her feet, thrown from one
of the boxes, bringing from her eX-
clamation of grateful surprise. The incl
dent offset somewhat the impression of
stage life that might have been gained
from her talk. One of the most meritoriouS
numbers on the program was the perform
ance of the Watermelon Girls" who, in
costumes bright and varied, sang and
danced with rhythm that was delightful.
Their depletion of a scene in a watermelon
patch was worthy of particular notice, and
in the movements Of the dance they gave
evidence of much training. AL Lawrence
also well known by those in attendance
gave a sketch in his usual interesting and
straightforward manner. VIII M. Cressy

Lafayette Theater

A large and distinguished audience crowd
ed the Lafayette Theater last night to
witness the first production In this CITY of
Mrs. Fiske's powerful play, Mary of Mag
dala." It was not an occasion for enthu-
siastic demonstration on the part of the
audience, for the drama appealed to the
spiritual senses and inspired sentiments of
reverence for religious tenets In degree
incompatible with the boisterous mani
festation Of approval which usually greets
the production of a successful play How
ever there was no lack of earnest appre-
citation on the part of the auditors, for
throughout the performance there prevailed
an atmosphere In sympathetic agreement

Columbia Theater.

When THE Runaways'' was presented at
the Columbia Theater last spring 1t was
the general opinion that decided revision
was necessary to make the piece a success
for the New York summer season. This
revision has been made. and as put for
ward at the Columbia last night a great
improvement was noted. When first pre-
scented The Runaways'' had about sixty
laughs in it; last night there were about
one hundred and twenty-five laughs and
forty smiles. The principal comedians
of the early production have been re-
tanned. but the women who were seen in
the first presentations have all disappeared.
The Improvement here is easily noticed
Miss Fay Templeton now plays the part Of
Josey May. the opera queen, and upon her
work considerable of the success of the
piece depends. There is no question as to
Miss Templeton's talent and versatility
and from the reception accorded her last
night her New York popularity has mot

THE T H E A T E R.
New National Theater..

Year by year Mr.. E. II. Sothern has given
the American stage productions which re-
fiected a sincere determin alton to do his full
share toward developing the drama as an
art. and to establish himself as represen-
tative of the highest endeavor. 1t is no
secret that Mr.. Sothern was not so very
many years ago. regarded as essentially an
exponent of comedy, and despite his sue
cesses in plays of literary dignity there has
always been the thoughtless undercurrent
of protest that appears when an artist dis
plays a desire TO assert himself in a higher
plane of effort. Mr.. Sothern's production
of THE Proud Prince" as made at the New
National Theater last night, establishes
him beyond question upon a footing of dra-
matte and literary dignity that admits of
no further challenge even from the most
superficial observer of the current progress
of the stage.
Mr.. Sotherns advance toward his present
position as a legitimate star of the first
magnitude has been courageous, but not
foolhardy. His performance of AN Enemy
to the King years ago demonstrated that
he was a romantic actor of excellent quail
ity. The play had scant literary merit,
however, and was direct almost to the de-
gree Of sensationalism in its popular APP
peal. When he appeared In THE Sunken
Bell'' he burned, so to speak, his bridges
behind him. This poetic and fanciful crea-
ton was almost deliberate defiance of
popular preference. After this Mr.. Sothern
must press resolutely onward into the do
main OF the classic drama confess posi-
tive failure. Mr.. Sothern found a most
competent coadjutor In Justin Huntley
Mccarthy. The production OF IF l Were
King" established both playwright and
player in the confidence of the public and
"The Proud Prince" is a eliminating
achievement which more than realizes all
the promise of Mr.. Sotherns earlier ca
reer.
THE Proud Prince is described as a
miracle play" This description is mis-
leading in so far as 1t suggests the somber
simplicity of the earlier dramatic forms.
The magnificence of the production is such
that 1t might easily overwhelm a play of
less substantial merit and cause author
and actor to stand in subordination to the
scenic artisan. But even with the splen-
didly devised effects of lighting and spec
tacular transformation the play maintains
its normal position as first In interest and
Importance Since Spenser wrote the
Faery Queen, allegory has always been one
OF the most appealing of literary FORMS
albeit one OF the most difficult.

WORK ON LONG BRIDGE.
Active Operations to Be Continued Dur
ing the Winter,

Active preparations are being made for
work on the new Long bridge during the
winter months. Two of the large derrick
scows are being prepared for service IN
cold weather. Their boiler and hosting ap-
paratus are being covered by a house, and
shelters are also being built on other
scows to be used in the work. A line Of
piling has been driven from the Potomac
Park wall to the first pier on the Washing
tor end of the bridge. and this will be used
in handling the heavy steel timbers Of the
bridge The iron work of the draw Of the
new bridge is now nearly completed, and
as soon as the work on 1t Is done. it Is
stated. the construction Of the bridge will
be started.
The roadbed for the new tracks on the
east side of the present railway tracks
through the Potomac Park, is now rapidly
approaching completion. A force Of two
or three hundred Hungarian and Italiap
laborers are, employed on the work. and
they swarm over train loaded with earth
taken from the excavations now going on
In the southeast like bees In a hive. The
new roadbed Is being made wide enough
for three or four tracks.
