Columbia Theater,

The appetite Of Washington theater-goers
Tor western musical comedies. which has
heen developed during the past few years
was gratifed last night at the Columbia
Theater, when THE Prince of Pilsen'' was
presented in this city for the first time
After the first taste the members of the
large audience sat back in their chairs with
an exclamation of pleased satisfaction. and
throughout the performance, until the drop
of the final curtain, gave enthusiastic ex-
preston to their approval Of the tuneful
comedy. The piece is the latest collabora-
ton of Frank PiXley and Gustav I,uders
whose previous successes the authors Ct
ne Burgomaster" and king Dodo" have
given them an eminent place among the
composers of musical comedy. 1t is com
ELEMENTARY to the authors to saw that ."The
Prince of Pilsen" does not detract in anv
way from their previous good reputation
MI Pixley has provided in the book an
abundance of sprightly and wholesome fun
and Mr.. Luders has contributed some de-
cidedly pleasing and catchy musical num-
pers, the whole being interpreted by cast
of thoroughly capable comedians and yo-
calists.
No surprising novelties are presented in
the plot, but it serves the purpose. AS
usual IN musical comedies, the announce
n ent Is made by the innkeeper that the
prince IS about to arrive, and the first per-
son TO put in appearance is musicaIly
greeted with childlike simplicity by the
merry Villagers the person Of royal
blood OF course. the person SO greeted is
not the prince, but the mistaken identity Is
not revealed until the close of the play.
when all is amicably explained In the
case of the Prince of Pilsen Hans Wagner
a brewer from 'Zinzinnau" is the first to
arrive on the scene after the announcement
OF the coming of the prince. Having been
an alderman in Cincinnati the ponderous
ana good-natured German urbanely accepts
the title of prince in Nice.
The role of the German brewer who has
a fondness for public speaking Is played
by John w. Ransome, who keeps the audi
ence in continual good humor. Victor Nor
ley as Lord Somerset created a large shara
OF amusement by his Interpretation of the
role and Sherman Wade, the innkeeper,
displays nimbleness that meets with the
favor of the audience.
Polly Guzman contributes to the comedy
OF the piece as the widow, and sings her
several numbers with pleasing voice. The
other feminine members of the company
deserving OF praise for their vocal attain
ments We're Lou NJ. Harlow, Jeanette Ba-
geard and Belle Bucklin.

Last night at the Lafayette Theater the
fact was demonstrated that THE Burgo-
master, Notwithstanding the fact that it has
been seen here morethan once before, is still
popular with the Washington public. The
company is one of unusual excellence each
part being played and sung satisfactorily.
The songs that have become so familiar
were all given in sprightly manner as if
they were brand new, and they did not fail
to secure numerous encores The role of

In Chicago, where it quickly jumped into
prominence. Next it went to New York
Long stays in Philadelphia and Boston fol-
lowed, and few places of any size did not
have chance to judge it. Despite the
lack of appreciation in New York. it turned
out to be one of the most popular of it's

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.
Meeting Of Officers Held at Raleigh
Hotel Last Evening.

A meeting of the officers Of the James
town Exposition Company was held last
evening at the Raleigh Hotel, and the mem
bers of the Virginia congressional delega-
ton were present. The features OF the ex-
position, to be held in 1907, were discussed
in general. 1t was decided to ask Congress
for an appropriation of 100000. and bill
for this amount will be introduced at the
proper time by one more of the Vir-
ginia members.
1t has been arranged that at noon tomor-
row the company officers, together with the
United States senators and representatives
from Virginia, will call on the President
and extend to him and his cabinet an invi-
tation to go to Norfolk May Ii next, to
attend the ceremonies incident to the in
auguration of the exposition work. This
date was selected as the one on which to
begin because it is the 297th anniversary of
the first English settlement in America.
1t is hoped by the managers that President
Roosevelt will make address on this
occasion, when several other prominent
men of the country will be heard.
1t is said that Senator Daniel will intro
duce in the Senate tomorrow a bill for the
appropriation of the $1,000 600. The officers
and promoters of the exposition are much
pleased with their recent success in raising
$1,0O0,G0O; the sum of 100000 has been ap-
propriated by the Virginia legislature and
it is said that the tidewater cities of Vir-
ginia will give $500, 900 more. 1t is considered
that the outlook is very encouraging, and
everything points to great success.
The following persons were present at the
meeting last evening:

THE THE AT E R.
New National Theater.

No one who sees Pretty Peggy" as
played by Miss Grace George at the Ne"
National Theater this week, can sympathlze
in the assertion that women are not gen.
erous toward one another. The most
chivalrous dramatist could not have, given
Peggy a gentler disposition or nobler
character than has the lady who wrote this
play. and Miss George interprets it with
simple, una affected grace that carried con-
viction for the hour at least, that these
imp essions of kind-hearted Peg as some
what aggressive and worldly play actress
have been erroneous. Miss George has
found in Pretty Peggy" a part that suits
her personality and temperament charm
ingly. Her individual performance is a
charming picture of feminine character
which blends chic and sincerity; whose
playful wit and pungent repartee do not
prevent her from possessing deep emotion
and constancy in love. If the members of
the company appearing with Miss George
were all as well adapted to the types they
assume to play she is to her own role
the performance would be one of extraor-
binary charm. The biographical drama Is
one of the most difficult fields Of interpre-
tation that the stage presents. Twofold
criticism is invited, for not only is the
popular demand for romantic interest to
be met, but the scholarly appeal for at least
decent degree of historic accuracy must
not be ignored The various characters
have been drawn with a great deal of lit
erary skill, but the players are in some in
stances permitted to indulge in melodra-
matte methods not in keeping with story
of one so fine and almost ethereal as the
Grace George idealization of Peggy.
sensational episode Is introduced In the
last act; one which, though not strictly
novel is certain to surprise the auditor.
The plot Of Peggy's rivals to humiliate her
and have her Missed off the stage is worked
out In a very realistic fashion by making
the auditorium of. the theater itself a part
or the setting for the drama The audj-
ence suddenly finds itself in the midst of
pandemonium. unconsciously playing a
part in the production and pathizing
with the misfortunes of the pretty PLAYER

occasion, and not mere witnesses to a mic

effectively executed. The audience last
night was highly appreciative

melodrama in four acts, through all OF
which there was a good deal of comedy
sprinkled. The scene in the first and last
acts depicting the house and barnyard Of
an old New Hampshire homestead was
made very realistic by the use of calf a
lamb and four chickens, all of which are
very tame and well trained. Miss De-
Coursey as Calamity leads the cast very
ably, and her vocal efforts in the first act
were greeted with applause. The play deals
with the career of Calamity, an orphan,
