Charles Hawtrey, the English comedian, in
his new play, The Man from Blankley's,"
which is now rounding up a run of near
ly one hundred consecutive nights at
Charles Frohman's Criterion Theater in
New York. and which comes to Washing
ton direct from that house. The piece in
which Mr.. Hawtrey was seen here last sea-
son was "A Message from Mars" quite an
other composition in respect to comedy-in
fact, 1t boosted but slightly of its comedy
and gloried rather more In it's fantastic ele
ment. THE Man from Blankley's," on the
other hand, is described as being a comedy
at once roaring and infectious, and one in
which Mr.. Hawtrey is delightfully."- at home.
The play was first produced in London by
Mr.. Hawtrey after a long season with "A
Message from Mars and scored a hit in the
British capital that nigh Overshadowed the
record of the other play. 1t was at the
height of this new success that Mr.. Froh-
man secured the star for the present Amer
lean tour, including his English company
the same that is soon to be seen here.

PLANS FOR SPEEDWAY.
Temporary Arrangements to Be Made
bv Drivers and Riders.

OY OT1V6IS anu xk1ucIVs
The Road Drivers and Riders Association
has under consideration plans for a tenn
porary speedway west Of the monument
grounds and along the Potomac river, be-
ginning at the corner of 10th and b streets,
and ending near the old naval observatory,
where the owners Of fast horses may let
their animals out at any time. To get the
proposed new speedway into shape would
require but small expense and little work.
The land, which is owned by the govern
ment, has on 1t a growth OF underbrush.
which would have to be cleared away, after
which the proposed speedway would have
to be graded before 1t could be ready for
use 1t Is not thought that the roadbed
will have to be made Of foreign material
even to permit the speedway to be used
during the winter months.
number Of horse owners, headed by
Col. Symons. superintendent Of public
buildings and grounds. and General Nelson
A. Miles, president Of the Road Drivers
and Riders Association. traversed the pro-
posed course yesterday. The association
had thought Of selecting a course on the
Potomac fats. or near Jackson City, but
the course finally decided on was proposed
by Col. Symons.
It Is proposed to build 1t by popular SUBJ
scrtption until Congress is induced to APP
propriate money for a permanent speed
way. 1t Is not thought that the cost for
the temporary speedway will be great, and
strong effort will be made to secure the
necessary money within the next few weeks
IN order that the work may be started i'm
mediately.
