We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS

The fact that it is the best

to why it does what it does,

Richard Strauss Coming.
Eminent Composer to Accompany His
Wife in Concert Program.

Poignant and dramatic as IS the tale
Of "Enoch Arden" it is made infinitely
more so by the tone-poem given it as o
frame by Dr. Strauss. The composer
feels deeply it's pathos He is also
strenuous in insisting upon proper con-
nection between words and music IN It's
performance. II is a great compliment
to Sydney Lloyd Wrightson. the singer
and scholar. that he has been invited
by the Strausses TO recite this classic
in a few weeks. here in Washington

dSt and Future

Hubert Henry Davies and Ethel Bar

last week one OF the most genuine
pleasures Of the season. Many pIaVs are
well acted some are well written. and
some few are both. But the number Of
plays which are wei acted well writ

NAL. To this notable class belongs Miss
Barrymore's production OF Cousin
Kate and it was fine TO note how
speedily that estimate spread about the
city and filed the theater.
In the review published in The Times
Of Tuesday il was said that Miss Bar
Tymore's art had expanded. This was
not intended to indicate that her art
had matured. This actress. pleasing and
skillful as she is, has yet a great way
to go before she reaches The plane oc-
