Fnnire Theater.

ESCAPED From Sing Sing" stirring
melodrama of five acts, opened up week
engagement at the Empire yesterday after
noon before a large audience. The lines of
the drama are strong throughout, and the
attraction may be classed as one of the
best that has appeared at the Empire this
season. The scene of the play in the first
act is set in the village of Tyneford. Eng
land, but is afterward shifted to New York
city. The play deals with a scheming wo-
man, who, by her cunning tricks, aided by
the man she loves, has her husband thrown
into prison on charge of forgery. After
a lapse of time he escapes from prison, and
having a taste of prison life, becomes a
noted criminal. In seeking vengeance upon
his wife he is betrayed and is again put in
prison, but is afterward pardoned because
he produces evidence which convicts his
wife of murder. The fight for liberty in a
saloon and the escape from Sing Sing are
two exciting climaxes. Frederick Mon
tague who portrays the role as Richard
Fernley, is the star of the attraction, while
Edward Wonn, young actor Of this city,
handled his lines as the villain in an ex-
ceptionally clever manner. Effie Burlace
Darling essayed the part of the adventures
in satisfactory way.

New National Theater.

1.-THE Silver Slipper was given its second
presentation in Washington at the Ma
tional Theater last night, large audience
being present. Changes have been made
in some of the important parts since last
season. but the attraction is such strong
one and the substitutes so good that most
enjoyable performance resulted. The COM
pany, scenery and accessories are fully as
elaborate and beautiful as last year, and
an Improvement can easily be noted IN the
matter of unity of action on the part OF
the very large chorus All the dances and
chOruSeS were given with most enJoyaple
precision, and as the music in several IN
stances is of a high class and unusually
looked The Come, Little Girl seXtet
was as attractive and beautiful as ever,
but for real life and dash the champagne
dance was the most enjoyable and secured
enough recalls to weary the participants
therein
AS to the principals Thomas j. keogh
did we'll with Sam Bernards old role, while
Ann Tyrell made a pretty Wrenne, acting
and singing most satisfactorily. Cyril
Scott as ShaIlamar, is the only one left
of the old guard, and his conscientious
work easily gained hearty recognition.
Others of the cast to attract attention
through meritorious work We're the Cor
don sisters Laura Clement, Joseph Welsh
and Ben Lodge.
Unpretentious in plot, yet dainty in music
and bewildering in costuming and scenic
display The Silver Slipper" can not fail
to rank high in the esteem of playgoers
who enjoy the maximum of pictorial effect
with the minimum of mental strain.

THE TIL E A T E R.
Columbia Theater.

At the Columbia Theater last night, Nat.
NJ Wills was welcomed with the enthusi-
asm due to a player who has arrived.
Mr.. Wills has served successful appren-
ticeship in vaudeville and popular-pr1ce
amusement and has finally demonstrated
his entire capability to amuse an evening
clothes audience. 1t is difficult to point the
distinction that separates the occasional
entertaining farce-comedy from the multi
tudinous fiat and Improbable ventures in
that line that have of late been launched
Humor is a subtle thing. and, with no ap-
parent reason. "A Son of Rest asserts IL

Wills well-known tramp made his entrance

ner till the close of the play, when the &C
tor appears in neat conventional attire just
long enough to allay any horrible suspl-
cions that his tran guise may be perma-
nent and natural condition. there was
laughter and applause MI Wills had an
abundance of songs, parodies and Jocose
quips, which allowed no moment to lag
while he was on the stage. Inc speclaltles

into the action of the piece in way that
reflects credit on the librettlst, George Yves

The story of "A Son of Rest is s!ender
appreciation in a modern musical farce. "A
number of clever entertainers are given
abundant opportunity. Miss Susanna ROC
omora, who in days agone was the recog, cog
nized "Rosy-posy' prima donna Of local
burleque, has made rapid strides In her
work, and now takes to the center OF the
stage and the calcium light as naturally as
a bee to honey. Her singing and her dainty
personality won hearty appreciation. Little
Gabriel, who is not much more than three
feet high, but who is a giant in fun-mak-
ing abilities, was one of the hits of the
performance. He is first-rate all-round
comedian. A well-costumed and Vivac1ous
ensemble. which includes good male
chorus, as we'll as graceful and good look
ing galaxy of girls affords an attractive
background for the fun of the principals:
There is little of everything in "A Son OF
Rest" and the audience last night enjoyed
the melange. At the close of the first act
Mr.. Wills was called upon for speech.
He expressed great appreciation OF inc
warm reception accorded him in this, his
home city.

Guilty In recognizing, in The Sign of the
Four" at the Lafayette Opera House this
week, his well-known detective story of the
same name The new Sherlock Holmes, as
portrayed by " er Edwards in The Sign
of the -Four" lich is a dramatization by
Charles p. hIce, is not counterpart of the
famous detective of fiction. Although
Mr. Edwards facial makeup meets the re-
quirements, he is handicapped by lack of
height and a superabundance of weight in
his endeavor to measure up to the tall hui
man ferret of DR.. Doyle's fancy, whom Nh
Gillette has so ably embodied in the flesh.
In making a play of the story MIR. Rice did
not hesitate TO take liberties. However, the
play is calculated to please a popular au-
dience. and there was every evidence last
night of thorough enjoyment. Curtain calls
were the rule, and Mr.. Edwards made q
graceful little speech.

JUST TOOK THEM.
James Munroe's Defense Against the
Charge Of Theft.

II didn't steal them, but just took them, -
was the plea made by James Munroe, alias
John Dade. colored. when he was arraigned
In the Police Court this morning for the
theft of twenty towels and fifty table nap
kins belonging to Miss Mary c. Carter OF
the Marlboro flats.
"Well what did you take them for?'
Prosecutor Mullowny asked the man.
Just for safe keeping, that was ALL" he
replied.
Detective Lacy, who arrested Munroe, told
the court that the man was formerly in the
employ of Miss Carter, and when he left
there several days ago 1t was found that a
NUMBER of towels and a quantity of table
linen had disappeared. The defendant was
suspected. the detective said, and some of
the missing things were found in his room
at 1909 18th street northwest.
Judge Scott failed to see why it was nee
essary for Munroe to take the things to his
home for safe keeping, and levied a fine OF
$40. with one month in Jail as the equiva-
lent.

In order that the sensational features might
not prove monotonous the author has in

The cast is capable one. The work evil
dences careful training. The portrayal of
the character of John Carr, the ambitious
detective. who is the object of his superior's
chicanery, by Fred Eckhart is pleasing.
His work received the hearty applause Of
the large audience present last evening, as

Mildred Boylan, in the juvenile characters
of the play, made friends instanter.
