CONGRATULATIONS
National Theater.

Maxine Elliott in the new Clyde Fitch
comedy, Her Own Way" will be the at
traction at the National Theater next week.
with matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
Miss Elliott this season has won new hon
ors as an actress, and the claim is made
that she will surprise her admirers who
have hitherto been disposed to regard her
simply as a beautiful woman, by her
strength, sincerity and depth of feeling in
several strong emotional scenes. The play
also gives her ample opportunity to por-
tray the Iightest and most delicate shades
of refined comedy. Miss Elliott will appear
as Georgana Carley. an American girl who
insists upon having her own way in her
own love affair. Georgiana is a splendid
type of the modern independent American
girl She is loved by two men, one Lieu
tenant Dick Coleman of the volunteers, and
the other Sam Coast, wealthy and unscru-
pulous mine owner FROM the west. From
the very start, when c 4orgiana is shown
romping in the nursery with the children
and hiding under a table from Coleman,
the audience sees that she favors the vol
unteer But Coleman is misled by DELHI
crate lie told him by Coast, who fatty an
nounces that he is going to marry Geor-
giana. How having her own way leads to
happiness after all is told in convincing
and pleasing manner in the last act.
Incidental to the loye story there are
many amusing character sketches and
types of modern social climbers cleverly
caricatured by Fitch. There is a talkative
tyranncal wife. a lady hair dresser with
new and up-to-date views on life and man.
ners, and four little children of the rich,
who discuss their elders in decidedly in
teresting manner. Manager Charles P. Dill

Chase's Theater.

Chase's promises polite vaudeville patrons
a novelty next week in the Davis Macauley
Company in Pals" The supporting and
contrasting features will comprise Ray
mond and Caverly, the Sander Trio, Lorfs
and Altina, George H. Wood, Herbert
Lloyd, the Misses Carmen and the Ameri-
can Vitagraph motion pictures of Alice in
Wonderland"
The Davis Macauley Company is headed
by Hal Davis and lien Macauley. whose
names, perhaps, are better known in the
legitimate drama than in. polite vaudeville.
Pals" is one-act comedy drama, and Its
thrilling character violates the long cher
ished tradition that polite vaudeville is for
laughing purposes only. Raymond and
Caverly are the well-known German come
dams. who until recently starred in the
former successes of the Rogers Bros. All
the feats of the great Sander trio call for
herculean strength, and their performance
Is said to be impossible of imitation. Loris
and Altina will offer noiseless sharpshoot-
ing exhibition, filed with hairbreadth
craftsmanship and devoid of danger or
nuisance to the audience. The other num-
bers of the program include George III.
Wood, 1.-The somewhat different comedian"
Herbert Lloyd, 1.-THE kings jester" assisted
in his nonsensical novelty by Lillian Lii
yam: the Misses Carmen, two players OF
the banjo, and the motion pictures.

Othello and Desdemona that is being sung
on another part of the stage at the same

cratic situations of the entire score.
WHY THOMAS WROTE THE Play
I.awrance D'Orsay's striking success in the
title role of 1.-THE Earl of Pawtucket' has
made his name very familiar to theater-
goers during the past year; but his coming
into prominence was so sudden that not
many are acquainted with his work previ-
Gus to his triumph as the Piccadilly swell
in this new Augustus Thomas comedy.
During the past ten years he has been
seen in three important roles in Washing
ton. In 1895 he appeared here as Lord
Thamesmead, "a swagger, heavy dragon
sort Of chap, in THE Artists Model, one
of the musical comedies from the London
Gaiety Theater Next he was seen here
with Annie Russell in the role of the king
in r. c. Cartons dainty comedy. "A Royal
Family" His latest appearance here was
season before last with Charles Frohman's
Empire Theater stock company in THE
Wilderness by H. v. Esmond.
In each of these local appearances the
young Englishman made a decidedly pleas
ing impression. and those who con their
play bills have not forgotten his tall I'M
pressive physique, his drawing room man.
well-groomed gentleman of good breeding.
His personality is so emphatically adapted
to this type of man that it was a result
of knowing him that Mr.. Thomas acquired
the notion of writing ''The Earl of Paw
tucket" in which it was his aim to supply
D'Orsay with star part that should give
him full scope for the play of unique man
ner. In his curtain speech on the premier
night of the play in New York Mr.. Thomas
said among other characteristic things: II
wrote this play to prove that Lawrence
D'Orsay is really true"
A MASTER OF MARKsMANSEIIP.-
George Loris of Loris and Altina the fancy
sharpshooters who are now appearing in
vaudeville, long ago lived in Washington,
and was a member of one of the independ-
ent military organizations of that period
He was gunsm;th by trade and conducted
modest gallery near the Capitol which
was then the resort of statesmen and army
and navy officers, seeking greater proficien-
cy in the use of firearms.
Mr.. Loris in those days was a remarkable
rifle shot and for several years he held the
individual championship of the District. and
also won first honors in number of inter-
state contests. Little by little he added
feat to feat with firearms and finally con-
ciuded that he had more than the nucleus Of
an entertaining act Of craftsmanship.

Future of the "Four Hundred
From Harper's Weekly

From Harpers Weekly.
A generation ago the upper ten thousand
were the type and talk of the Missionaries Of
society splendor; 1t was tremendous gain
when the ten thousand were reduced to the
four hundred; the four hundred may as
suddenly fall to four; and when the bottom
drops out of these, as a source of circula-
ton for the yellow, or following journals
we may find ourselves without one ''promi-
nent clubman" or leading society woman"
to feed our passion for social superiority
or our appetite for scandal That will be
fatal day for the picturesque and the dra-
matte, that day of the dead level OF equali-
ty." as it Is called by those who prefer an
inferiority of their own IL they cannot have
the inferiority of others. But It may not be
so very far off, our plutocracy at least pays
for It's supremacy. and many know where
its money comes from, as few or none can
know where the money of an aristoeracy
comes from; and 1t may be the beginning Of
he end.

White Slave" for the public has learned to
regard BARLEY Campbells beautiful south
ern idyl as a friend. For two decades it
has entertained those who admire a sweet
love story heroic sacrifice and lofty sent-
ments. THE White Slave" strictly speak
ing. is a character play. There are many
quaint creatures, men and women who are
types of a past generation. Having lived in
the south for term of years during which
time BARLEY Campbell was editor of the
Southern Monthly Magazine and later off,
cial reporter of the Louisiana house of rep
resentatives he acquainted himself with
the customs and manners of the south and
studied the chief characteristics of the peo-
pie. Like Mark Twain when boy he be-
came fascinated with steamboating on the
Ohio and many times run the river from
Pittsburg to New Orleans, touring fleet
of coal barges. During these trips he used
to write descriptive stories for the illus
trated weeklies, and 1t followed that he
came to know every bar and channel, as
well as every bend in the two rivers
These Impressions he stored away in his
mind, together with all historic data, and
in after years and at a time when he oc-
cupied the first place among American
dramatists. when his plays were being
acted Throughout the civilized world he be-
gan to develop the plot of drama which
was to outlive all his other work The
play was written and produced early in
1882 in New York city and was called ''The

A raw recruit in the cavalry, named
Murphy, was given one of the worst
buckers in the whole troop to ride. He
had never been on horse in his life,
and the drill was anything but a recre-
alton to him, as the sequel will show.
"Now, my men," said the sergeant, ad-
dressing them, "no one is allowed
to dismount without orders from a
superior officer. Remember that"
Tim was no sooner in the saddle
than he was hurled heels over head
through the air, and came down so
hard that the breath was almost
knocked out of him.
"Murphyp shouted the sergeant,
when he discovered the man spread out
on the ground, "you dismounted."
II did,"
"Did you have orders ?"
"I did"
"From headquarters, I suppose"
with sneer.
"No, from hindquarters." American

Energy.

MERCY, in the language of
~ Webster, means an inherent or
- internal power; capacity of act
ing, operating, or producing an
effect. Second, power, efficiency ex-
erted. Third, strength of expression;
force of utterance; spirit. Fourth,
capacity to perform work. In other
words tits force, vigor, spirit, efficiency.
resolution.
My readers, no doubt have observed
wherein my last article l mentioned
energy as an unlimited possession of
the human mind; that yet contend;
but wish to add, only to a sane and
healthy mind is the true energy un-
limited. That is to say, we can so
exert and abuse it's inherent power as
to cause it to rob our mind of sanity
and relative conception. How many
men and women there are, who at one
time launched their craft and hoisted
sail to alone navigate the calm and
tempestuous sea of time, with energy
overfiowing every edge and speeding
Its refulgent rays in every conceivable
direction, in fact, with the energy of
an Alexander the Great, Caesar, a
Napoleon, Washington or
Roosevelt, who have through the un-
thoughtful abuse of its invaluable
quality, ruined themselves as we'll as
all their undertakings
A young man leaves home, college
and respectable society; perhaps his
home is a farm or small country
village where he in the pureness of
nature has been reared, qualified with
intelligence unstained by evil passions.
In short, he shows promising and
prosperous future, because of energy
accumulated by unrestricted virtue.
He enters college with all this in ad-
vance, only to add to it's accumulative
power. From there he goes to fill his
place in the world, prepared and equal
to meet any emergency or occupy any
position regardless of rank. Does he
do it: Hardly one out of three will
continue to advance, exercising
their bountlful energy judiciously
and to its intended effect.
He will either lavish it on physical
overexertion, burn it through the
medium of cigarettes, or dope it with
intoxicants. With the balance he will
endeavor to solve the intricate prob
lens of his age and business. Finding
himself in great measure unequal to
his task and perhaps inferior to his
less educated colleague, he wonders
how it is that some people are so mirac-
ulously equipped with such superior
progressiveness as to advance in spite
of training and drill. Then comes the
ever vigilant imagination that is al
ways on the lookout to arouse nothing
but envy and jealousy. With that con-
viction as cause for the failure of his
anticipated progress he seeks space in
continuous and perhaps increasing
revelry, thus wasting more energy in
one nocturnal jubilee than it actually
would take to accomplish a months
faithful duty. As final result we OBJ
serve the once well-rigged craft adrift,
minus pilot, sails and rudder.
