Columbia Theater.

.'Under Two Flags" with Jane Kennark
as Cigarette, opened the week last night
at the Columbia The play has been seen
in Washington so frequently with we'll
known favorites in the leading parts that
the present and future productions can
scarcely excite more than passing interest
nor be expected to excel either In dramatic
talent or in scenic effects. o. D. Wood
ward now presents the original New York
Academy Of Music $40,0 600 production entire.
There is little hint of this large expendf-
ture until the fourth act, showing the Che
lalla Gorge, when the scene is so fascinat-
ing and weird that it seems a pity to have
the creepy quiet broken by conversation
among the statue Bedouins. Cigarette pre-
sents her best work in this act. her dare
~deviltry exactly fitting the moment. Her
white horse showed doclity and eagerness
to display careful training while Cigarette
waited for events to happen. The sand
storm, the darkness and the subsequent es-
cape of Cigarette up the mountain side
made an exciting moment, to which the
audience gave as loud applause as its num-
bers warranted. Cigarette and the white
horse again shared the plaudits when she
came down the hill again, followed by the
horse, for whom two Jumps of sugar were
handy and deserved
The scenes are arranged differently from
earlier productions, and Cigarette dies in
Castle Cigarette" wrapped in the tri-
color of her beloved France and held in
the arms of the Hon. BERTHE Cecil alias
Corporal Victor of the Chasseurs d Antique
Most of the cast gave the traditional inter
probation to the various parts.

Chase's Theater.

The vaudeville bill at Chase's Theater
this week is one of variety as well as of
general excellence. 1t is headed by Johnny
and Emma Ray whose sketch would be
remarkable because 1t induced them to give
up "A Hot Old Time" if for no other
reason. But 1t serves to enable Johnny Ray
to get off his stock of inimitable facial con-
tortions and ludicrOus cackles, and the act
went with a rush. The Columbian Trio,
which Is in reality quintet, put up pleas
ing sketch. in which was introduced little
tot named Claire. who is claimed to be
the youngest pianist in the world She
seems to sustain the contention both as to
age and skill with the instrument, and also
adds to the turn by her realistic imperson-
alton Of wax doll. The other turns. which
are all Of merit. were contributed by Ed
die Mack. who presented his original base
ball dance;" Jessie Couthoui, in songs and
character sketches the Montrose Troupe
of acrobats. whose lofty tumblng was of
the best that has been seen at Chase's:
A. D. Robbins, who indulges In some par
ticularly risky bicycle riding, giving turn
that for straight work on the wheel has
hardly been equaled here. and George w.
Day, a black-face monologist. The last
named was one of the bright stars of the
bill, and was recalled time and time again
guage is spoken under some circumstances,
as for instance. by the brakeman on a rail-
road train. The show is brought to close

LAFAYETTE Opera House.

"A Black Sheep whose friskiness was in
troduced to the stage many years ago by the
late Charles Hoyt, retains it's youth wonder
fully well. 1t proved acceptable entertain
ment last night as presented by the Welles-
Dunne-Harlan Musical Comedy Company
Otis Harlan as Hot Stuff Little Chip as
Under Dog" Mary Marble as the Queen
of Burlesque," and several Others had
parts in the portrayal in which they had
appeared many times before. "a Black
Sheep while connected, though nonsensi-

vile features, which are contributed by
Otis Harlan Miss Marble, Dan Marble Lit
tie Chip, Fannie Frankel, John w. Early
Marie Fanchonetti, Marie Hodgson-the lat

chorus of Musical Maidens" Mr. Harlan
made curtain speech, taking the audience
into his confidence to the extent of impart-
ing the information that the fortune of
100000 inherited by himself as Good
rich Mudd' was not real money-only
stage currency.

Mr.. Comstock,s Studio Recital.

Two novelties in song cycles were given
last night at the studio of Mr.. Oscar Frank
lin Comstock, on F street, by Mr.. Comstock
and several Of his pupils The first one was
H. Lane Wilson's cycle, "Flora's Holiday"
This includes an Interesting arrangement of
English folk SONGS for a quartet OF voices
and is one of these light. airy compositions
that appeal strongly to the musical sense.
The quartet last night included Mrs. Her
man w. Smith, Soprano; Mrs. George F.
Lippitt. contralte; Mr.. Achille E. Burklin,
tenor, and Mr.. James P. Schick, basso.
MIR. Comstock played the accompaniments
on the piano. Between the two cycles Mr..
Comstock played a Chopin ballade. Nevins
unique Captive Memories was the second
concert number. The same quartet sang
this, with the execution of Mf. Burklin,
whose solos were taken by Mr.. Comstock.
Mr.. Comstock also did the reading, which
is one of the NEST Interesting and pleasing
parts of the work. AN important feature
of this eYcier4is the baritone solo, which
runs all through he composition. 1t Is
called An She Soft Still Might - and is a
serenade. MIR. ComstoclQ sang all of his
numbers welle Perhaps 1.-THE best part of
the work is that done by the accompanist
and in this instance Miss Marguerite Lee
Rowland presided at the piano.

How Young Men May Be Reached.

The Mems Club of the Vermont Avenue
Christian Church, located on Vermont ave-
nue. between N and o streets northwest,
met last evening with DR.. Norman r. Jen-
ner in the chair, and about one hundred
men present. The special topic for discus
sion was the problems met by young men
in Washington and the methods by which
young men may be reached and benefited.
One speaker told his own experiences as
homeless man in the city, and others spoke
of various branches of Sunday-school and
church work. Mr.. Charles F. Weller, gem
eral secretary of the Associated Charities,
described the conditions and needs of a
large class of young men and growing boys
who have no church connections or Sun
dayschool life, no social clubs except the
saloon and the lounging- corner gang, and
who leave the public school somewhere be-
tween the second and fourth grades
Mr.. Weller said the Associated Charities
was a bridge builder; that its agents served
as social engineers; that one of their most
important functions was to bring men of
culture and resourcefulness, like the MEM
bers of this Mems Club into direct per-
sonal, individual fellowship with undevel-
oped neglected men and young men who
need the encouragement, inspiration and
new ideals which they can only get from
fellowship with other people who personify
these wholesome characteristics

SQUARE 500 as a site for TIE building for

Empire Theater.

"James Boys in Missouri romantic
melodrama, is offered as the attraction at
the Empire this week. and those who love
excitement were well rewarded by witness
ing the performances yesterday afternoon
and evening. From the rise of the curtain
until the end of the performance there is
an abundance of gun display. In the third
act, when the famous Blue Cut train rob-
berry is shown, the real object of the per-
formance is lost sight Of for the time be-
ing, for there seems to be a Fourth of July
celebration or a battle in progress. The
story Is one of love, and is built up from
the adventures of the James boys. 1t gives
an idea of their daring deeds from the time
of the civil war until the career of Jesse
James was ended by bullet fired by Bob
Ford Though there is plenty of excitement
caused by the numerous climaxes and the
discharge of firearms. the play is moral in
tone as compared with the real deeds of the
James boys. The scenes are well staged,
the one showing the Blue Cut "hold-up' be-
ing an ingenious mechanical contrivance.

PREFERS PRESENT NAME.
East Washington Heights Associatio,
Declines to Make Change.

The annual election of officers of the
East Washington Heights Citizens Asso-
citation for the ensuing term should have
taken place at the regular meeting of the
association, held last evening, but there
was slim attendance, and the election
was postponed until next Monday evening,
when special meeting will be called for
that purpose. President Fl. A. Buscher oc-
cupied the chair last night and D. c. Foun-
tain acted as secretary.
The new school house and it's furnishing
occupied good share of the time and 1t
was finally decided to ask the Commits
sioners to improve the grounds about the
building, especially Smiths lane, which is
sadly in need of attention.
President Buscher reported that the
alarm bell at the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road crossing in Twining City was out of
order and had been so for several weeks
The secretary was thereupon directed to
write to the Commissioners, calling their
attention to the matter.
A communication from the Northwest
Suburban Citizens Association in refer
ence to the practice of exempting certain
property from taxation and asking the CO.
operation of the East Washington Heights
Association in an, effort to have all prop
erty in the District taxed alike was read
and tabled until the next meeting
The secretary read q letter from Mr.. A.
F. Sperry, secretary of the East Washing
ton Citizens Association, in which it was
urged that the association on the heights
adopt another name, so to avoid confu-
sion that has frequently resulted in the
past. ME- Sperry stated in his; letter that
the East Washington Citizens Association
has been in existence for more than thirty
years. and thus felt sort of priority of
title. He urged that more distinctively
individual name be selected for the asso-
citation on the hilI The secretary was di-
rected to write Mr.. Sperry that the East
Washington Heights Citizens Association
cannot at this time see Its way clear to
make a change in name.
The resolution calling FOR special meet
ing of the association next Monday even
ing for the election of officers was then
passed and the meeting adjourned.
