the little fellow Brownie" and he knows
his name ust as well as we do The
poor little bird has only one leg Father
says somebody must have hurt him very
badly and he does not know how
brownie" ever lived after losing his
leg But he is just as bright and lively
as if he had both legs to stand on. When
he flies TO the window he balances him
self on one foot and stays there for the
longest time and eats out Of our hands.
The other day when the snow and rain
came all of us children were very much
afraid that Brownie could not find his
way to us, but after a little while he
came flying up to the window and stood
there looking in as much as to say:
"Haven't you anything for me to-
dayT Of course we had and when he
had eaten a whole lot of crumbs he went
flying away again. We are going to take
care of Brownie all winter

! ployed to open the safe. and when this
operation is accomplished and the safe is

| The comedy incidents that thereafter

as ii progresses, the second act being the

School for Scandal" Friday evening. Sat
urday matinee and evening, 1.-The Tanning
Of the Shrew.''
n These plays will reintroduce Miss Rehan
after absence of four years in at least
two of her most famous successes-Kath-
crime and Lady Teazie-and the opening
performances will give Mr.. Skinner an op-
portunity to reveal to Washingtonians for
the first time his most ambitious essay
Shylock-with Miss Rehan in one of her
foveliest, though less familiar impersona-
tions-Portia.
Miss Rehan and Mr.. Skinner come sup
ported by ensemble of players long ex-
perienced in Shakespearean representation
and surrounded in all three plays by du-
plcates of the original lavish productions
prepared by the late AuguStin Daily for
the memorable REVEALS al Days Theater
of a few years ago.
The three plays give Miss Rehan and Mr..
Skinner fine opportunity for the display of
their compass and quality. On Monday
for the first time in Washington, with Miss
Rehan as Portia.
Shylock has been a study of many years
with Mr.. Skinner. and his portrayal is said
to be strongly original well as generally
effective
Mr. Skinner makes Shylock a younger
man than any of the recent important in
own expression, with the idea that
man of seasoned middle age he tShylock)
can feel his wrongs more deeply and stand
a greater menace to Antonio and his
friends. thereby giving added strength to
the entire action.
Miss Rehans Portia is less familiar than
either her Katherine or Lady Teazle, but
this is due to the fact that she has essayed
the heroine of Belmont less frequently than
other of the Shakespearean heroines
