New National Theater.

At the initial performance in this country
of Mice and Men," with Miss Annie Rus
sell as the dominating personality, an au-
dence at the National Theater last season
expressed it's hearty approval Of both the
popular actress and Mrs. Ryley's charming
little play. This appreciation of the Wash
ington theatergoers has been Endorsed with
enthusiasm by audiences in many other
cities throughout the country during the
past year, and 1t is no meager compliment
in itself to say that Miss Russell's second
appearance in this city as Peggy" fully
met the high expectations of the audience
at the National Theater last night. The
degree of Miss Russelrs popularity with
local play lovers is suggested by the fact
that so many persons endured the decided
discomforts of the snow storm in order to
witness the performance. Mice and Men"
possesses many admirable qualities that
commend 1t as a play to the regard of the
intelligent auditor. In it Is an abundance
Of bright comedy pleasantly interviewer
with tender sentiment and gentle pathos.
while an air of delicate refinement per-
vades the whole. The emphasis is rightly
placed In the contrast between the noble
and unselfish affection of Mark Embury for
his founding ward and the tickle regard
of Joanna GOodlake for her husband, and
one is conscious of an insnuating regret that
1.-The beSt-laid schemes o mice and men
gang aft a-gley," applies to the philosopher
guardian.
Miss Russell in the role of Peggy is thor
oughly delightful and fascinating, as usual.
She brings to her Interpretation of the role
charming freshness and girlish inno-
cense utterly devoid of any of the articles
of stageland, and her keen appreciation of
the possibilities of the character adds to
the enjoyable qualities of her performance.
Mrs. Gilbert, who has held so large a
place In the affections of theatergoers for
so many years, appears in Miss Russell 8
company in the part of Mrs. Deborah. That
Mrs. Gilbert is still esteemed with warm
and tender regard by Washington audiences
was convincingly evidenced last evening in
the hearty ovation extended her upon her
first appearance in the play. John Mason,
whose splendid portrayal of the character
of Mark Embury, the unselfsh uncle, was
received with such high commentator here
last year. added to his former favorable I'M
preston by his work last night. The part
of Joanna Goodlake was played most ac-
ceptably by Margaret Huddleston. while the
role of her husband was adequately por-
trayed by John Glendnnfng The only new
member of the cast is Oswald Yorke, who
plays the part of Capt. George Lowell En-
bury's nephew, with considerable earnest
ness. Other members of the cast who add
ed to the pleasure of the performance were
Frank Goldsmith, as Sir Harry; Chas w.
Butler at Kit Barringer. and E. A. Eberle
as Peter the servant.

Compliments for Police.

Major Sylvester has received congratu-
latory messages from three residents be-
cause of the good work done for them by
the police. Nicholas Keyser, merchant at
Benning, thanks Sergt. John E. Hartman
and the men under him for saving his home
from total destruction by fire week ago.
Their work was SUCH he says, that he
deems Ii his duty to extend his heartfelt
thanks to each man who rendered assist
ance. A. ]. Sanford of South Washington
sent the police similar letter. The third
letter was received from II. j. McGinness,
living at 2219 III street northwest. He COM
mends Precinct Detective Potter for his
good work in investigating a robbery and
making an arrest in a few hours time.

Chase's Theater.

particularly well-balanced and attrac-
tive bill is offered at Chase's Theater this
week. It not only contains novelties in the
way Of vaudeville turns. but introduces
some old favorites who are never disap-
pointing. Charles Dickson. the head-liner,
presented a one-aot sketch. "a Pressing
Matter" which aAounds in droll situations.
He Is ably assisted by Pauline Billings and
Master Colby. The sketch deals with the
trials of an actor who is SO inefficient that
he Is forced to take to teaching. He has
one pupil and is in love with her-and her
money, and thereon hangs the story. Prelle's
talking dogs are distinct novelty and
made an instantaneous hit last evening.
The righteousness with which they are
made up for the turn i1worthy of ia
vorable comment. Another animal turn that
is novel is furnished by La Belle Selica's
five African lions. La Belle Selica also
dances gracefully, and seems to please her
feline charges as much as the audience.
Gertrude Hoffman and Eta Pierce con-
tribute a singing and dancing turn that Is
full Of dash and spirit. and Ada Arnoldson,
the Swedish nightingale. pleased old friends
and charmed new ones with her soprano
solos. Her medley of patriotic songs Is par
ticularly we'll received. Dan Sherman and
Mabel De Forest. in sketch entitled 'The
Battle of Sandago," indulge In some horse
play that Is ludicrous and Ford and Wilson,
black-face artists, sing and dance them
selves into favor. The American Vitagraph
brings the show to a close with the story
of William Tell in motion pictures.

The Academy.

Lovers of excitement will find no lack Of
action during the four acts and several
scenes which it takes to properly present
Harry Clay Blaneys stirring wartime
melodrama Across the Pacific" which
opened for a weeks engagement at the
Academy last night. Although the produce
ton has been seen here before it still pos
sesses the power to draw large audiences
and the one in attendance last night was
generous with its applause. The action
opens in a Montana milling village, from
which place it is transferred to San Fran
cisco. showing the interior Of a Chinese den
and later the sailing of transport of SOL
diers for the Philippines. The next scene
shows the troops in action in the far east,
fighting against heavy odds. A rapid fire
gun numerous rifles and revOlvers are
brought into play and the din is deafening.
The chief and particular star is Blaney,
whose humor does not have the appearance
of being forced During the action of the
play specialties were given by Blaney, Kitty
Wolf and Johnny Williams.

Lafayette Square.

Despite the Indictment weather of last
evening. there was a fairly good attend
ance at the Lafayette to witness the mys-
tifying arts of the magician Kellar. He has
appeared in Washington regularly for many
years, and yet he brings something new
and perplexing with him on each occasion.
Besides being past master in his art Of
magic, he is an entertaining talker, and
blends with his suave admonitions, Watch
me closely and you will see how it is DONE"
and Its easy enough when you know
how" quaint vein of humor. This sea-
sons program is certainly as interesting
and puZZling as any he has yet presented
to his legion of Washington admirers. He
opens the evening with many of those little
hand tricks where the palming Is so clever
as to deceive the most astute.
One OF the star features is the crystal lad
der wherein coin taken from the air. placed
in a silk hat, borrowed from some one in
the audience, set on top of ladder made
of bright mirrors in Zig-Zag shape, fall
at his command through the hat down the
fitting mirrors to a salyer at the bottom.
Another is the levitation of Princess Car
nae. Kellar apparently hypnotizes the
young woman, places her in an empty box
and by passing his hands over her re-
cumbent body causes her to rise slowly
in the air. hoop is passed around her
the suspension. The Yoge's lamp is an
other clever piece of magic. A lighted
brass lamp is covered with large silk ker-
chief and placed on small stand. He
shoots pistol at it, when 1t instantly dis
appears and the kercfief lies on the stage
floor Then follows the Sinla seance, show
ing some puzzling manifestations in a cab
met set up on the stage and manipulated so
cleverly as TO defy knowledge as to how
the spirit gets into the cabinet and out
without detection. The exhibitions of mind
power, or psychratisnl, by the young wo-
man, were also mystifying because, of the
apparent absence of any possible collision.
The feats with numbers met with a hearty
applause
The delightful entertainment concludes

The Empire.

Lawrence Underwoods play, Wealth and
Poverty" is the attraction at the Empire
this week. The plot tells story of
banker, who has been robbed by his cousin,
the cashier of the bank. To shield himself
from the crime the cashier sends bogus
telegram to the banker for the purpose of
Turing him to Chicago so that he may do
away with him in order to silence him
forever. A newly elected constable, who
loves the bankers daughter, and knowing
of the williams scheme, arrests the rich
man on suspicion so as to detain him and
save his life and money. OF course, the
family becomes indignant at the fathers
arrest, but the clever constable proves in
the end that he did the right thing and
lands the william where he justly belongs
Homer Mullaney, who enacts the role of
Precious Plunkett, the constable, handles
his lines in a natural and easy-running
style. Minnie Stanley as Kate Newcomb,
the belle of the village, was quite clever.
The rest of the cast is capable.
