The Proper Place for Tears.

From the Detroit Free Press
A good story is going the rounds at pres
ent regarding a play that is soon to close
its Broadway run. The play Is an emotion
a. proposition. and the press agent Of the
company presenting IL took advantage of
David Belaseo's presence In box at one
of the matinees to send out a story to the
effect that the piaywright's feelings had
been SO stirred that he wept during two
whole acts. After this story had gone the
rounds 1t reached the ears Of the manager
OF the production In question. On being
told that Belasco had wept IN box at the
play. he replied: "Wept IN box, did he,
Humph. He should have gone into the
box ONCE II he wanted TO weop real tears."

up to arrive via a street excavation in
modern New York. The fun is the re-
suit of their adventures in the hands of
an up-to-date bevy of soubrettes, vaude-
vile folks, Bowery people and many other
typical personages of the gay metropolis.
The production this season Is more pre-
tentious than ever, and it appears in an
entirely new dress throughout, having
been equipped with new scenery and cos
tunes and many novel effects added to it's
attractiveness. Although it contains all
of the old popular melodies, many new
musical numbers are introduced, in addi-
ton to several bright vaudeville features

The fact that Robert Blossoms new play
was written by Augustus Thomas from
suggestions offered by Richard Harding
Davis novel aroused favorable expectations
which were not realized by the performance
at the National Theater this week. Inc
play has many points of merit ana MI. Eoe-
sens work Is excellent in this instance, as
1t always is; but the characters are not
cast In such a manner as to develop all
the qualities of the piece in harmonious
fashion Scenes which. if well acted, would
be very strong are allowed to lapse because
of deficiency on the part of the player. Al
most every member Of the company has
moments of much responsibility, WHICH IL
neglected weaken the general erect almost
beyond hope Mr.. Edeson will be awaited
with interest in new play. Solofers vi
Fortune" is better calculated for cast Oh
a general high average than for vehicle
for single star.
At the Columbia "A Country Girl made
merry to the entire satisfaction of large
audiences. The people who admired VIII
liam Norris for his fine Interpretation of
the rascally jester in Otis SINNERS Fran
cesca da Rimini' were not prepared to see
him blossom out as an irresponsible rolllch-
ing farceur. with nimble antics and voice
that attuned itself to airy ditties with all
the regard for rhythm and disregard for
melody which constitute the trademark OF
musical comedy Mr.. Norris is one of the
most versatile men that the American stage
has developed. 1t is fortunate for him
that he made so strong an impression as
legitimate actor before he achieved this sue
cess as a low comedian. If his present role
had been his first achievement, he would
never have gotten a chance at anything
else.
The regular season is plainly drawing to
a close. 1t will go out brilliantly, no
doubt, but the Forsythia that shines yell
low in the hedges and the magnolia gleam
ing white in the parks is a reminder of
the approach of spring. ADJUSTMENTS peo-
pie must have the year round, but the
character varies, and Washington, after
observing with attentive interest the Of
ferings from abroad, has ever been ready
to turn welcomingly to enterprises of local
interest-productions designed to meet the
exact preference of a clientele. The CO.
lumbia Theater will make notable de-
parture from CUSTOM and will offer brief
starring engagement in lieu of the usual
stock company. Bertha Galland is one of
the most admired young women of the
American stage, and the company sup
porting her includes John Blair, who is
identified with some of the most notable
achievements of the literary drama in
America; Frank Roberts, Robert V. Fer
guson, Godfrey Stein, William Kittredge
and Marshall Farnum Mrs. Kate Denim
Wilson, Miss Margaret Bourne, who APP
peared here in Forest Lovers and Ar
thur Buchanan complete the list of an ex-
cellent company. Each of the players is
we'll known in professional work and all
have been chosen for their adaptation to
the production of classic drama.

they reflect more accurately the taste OF
the bride and her mother.
A very beautiful effect was attained at a
recent house wedding where the decora-
lions were in the inevitable green and
white. A broad staircase in the square
hall, which was in full view of the guests
assembled in the drawing room' was
wreathed in smilax, caught with white
rosebuds. Down this came the procession
headed by six young girls in the simplest
of white frocks OF mousellaine de sole, car
rying lilies of the valley and maiden hail
fern. They sang the bridal chorus from
Lohengrin, and formed an aisle at the FOOT
Of the stairs through which the rest OF the
bridal party passed into the drawing room.
The welI-trained but girlish voices sounded
the keynote for the entire function, which
was marked by an elegant simplicity which
can be attained only in ones own home.
It was at this same wedding that the lit
tie flower girl carried lilies of the valley
in a pale green basket OF exquisite work
manship, and the brides cake was dis
tributed in wee boxes of silver and white
brocade, tied with silver cord.
The matron of honor is still seen at
church weddings, but she is apt to be too
stately a figure for the simpler house func-
ton. In fact, unless a house is truly
palatial in size and appointments the bridal
party should be small. The length Of church
aisles lends itself admirably to a retinue
OF pretty girls and broad shouldered men,
but the same number Of people make the
average drawing room look small and
cramped.
Wedding Dresses.
In the matter OF wedding dresses there
is no happy medium. Either you are much
berufled and befrilled, or you are severely
