A rather curious condition of affairs
asserted itself in connection with the
Washington theaters this week. The En-
pire Theater which has been pursuing
an unostentatious policy of melodrama
and popular emotonalism, must be
credited with presenting the only specl-
men of legitimate drama that the local
stage has to offer The dramatization OF
Marie Corelli's novel, "Thelma,' is made
on an ambitious scale. both as to scenic
requirements and demands on acting
ability. The piece did not meet the ex-
tensive patronage vouchsafed "Pecks
Bad Boy" and the weeks experience may
be taken as Il reminder that the patrons
of popular priced amusements are not in
tensely interested in the Valkyrie and
other figures of Morse mythology.
The best thing in The Girl With the
Green Eyes" is the little coon song which
Miss Bloodgood presents in her third act
Miss Bloodgood possesses temperament
to n notable degree, but her methods OF
vocal expression are so entirely unique
that to many her acting must be an ac-
quired taste. The play was another Clyde
Fitch tribe; one of those manuscripts
which seem TO be turned out of an auto
matically adjusted typewriter, which
works while the author sleeps.
The Columbia had a severe attack of
Foxy Grandpa" which exerted a more
