T he TIL E A T E r.
New National Theater.

n Il had been the earnest purpose or
Dramatist Clyde Fitch to dispel IN Few
brief minutes the very favorable impress
sions created during the first three acts
of his play, 1.-The Girl With tie Green
Eyes" he could not have accomplished the
end in mind more thoroughly than he does
by the makeshift incidents of the fourth
and final episode. 1t is as though the
play-maker had grown aweary Of his task
and had decided to end the story abruptly
and without regard to consequences, or
else had entered upon the play lightly and
drifted into deeper water than anticipated.
Instead of providing an heroic rescue from
the threatening waves. Clyde Fitch, plot
saver, reaches down with graphing tongs
and brings the struggling playlet inglori-
ously to dry land. If the termination of
THE Girl With the Green Eyes, did not
so nearly approach an affront to the intel
ligence of modern play-going audience,
the evening at the National would have
been one of thoughtless enjoyment. Mrs.
Clara Bloodgood proved to be an enter
tanning and enthusiastic little star with no
pretensions beyond her sphere. Mrs. Blood
good seems so genuinely interested In all
she does that the earnestness of her. en-
beavers soon has an effect upon the aud
fence and causes it to give freely of its
sympathy and attention. 1t was distinctly
a tribute to Mrs. BloOdgOod's personality
that in a role lacking much in quality,
throughout the play. For three acts 1.-THE
Girl With the Green Eyes Is play Of
many laughable lines and incidents, sug-
costing THE Tyranny of Tears" in Its
theme OF mirth-provoking jealousy.
A number of clever people are contained
in the company. Robert Drouet has the
thankless task Of the husband. whose eff
forts to make things straight for every
one else, plunges his own affairs into verit-
able chaos. Such remarkable self-sacrifice,
threatening the happiness and the very life
OF his beloved wife. is seldom witnessed
in real or theatric life. Grace Henderson
Is typical in the role of western girl
breaking into" New York society, a char
acter well worn out by modern play build
ers. Little Edith TaliaferrO. one of the
Famous Taliaferro family of stage young
STEERS. made decided hit during the few
minutes of the first act that account for
her presence in the cast. Aside from the
thrilling fourth act. 1.-The Girl With the
Green Eyes is not bad evenings enter

NAY BE PROSECUTED.
Opinion Of Corporation Counsel Regard
ing franklin T. sanner.

Assistant Corporation Counsel A. Left
wich Sinclair. in a legal opinion submitted
to the Commissioners holds that Franklin
T. Sanner formerly owner of the Valois
apartment house, may be prosecuted in the
Police Court for noncompliance with the
order Of the inspector of buildings that he
erect on the Valois certain fire escapes, ir-
respective of whether he is still the owner
of the apartment house.
The papers In the case show that the Dis
trict building and fire departments July 10,
last. notified Mr.. Sanner. who was at that
time owner of the Valois, to place fire es-
capes on the building. 1t Is stated that the
owner of the building failed to comply with
this order and September 1 and October IA,
lest, respectively, he was again notified to
provide the necessary fire escapes. The pa
pers in the case show that Mr.. Sanner dis
November 30, 1903, without having COM
piled with the notices and the fire escape
has not yet been erected. Mr.. Sinclair in
his opinion states:
1.-THE failure OF Mr. Sanner to erect the
fire escapes, under the circumstances, ap-
pears to have been a clear violation OF the
law, and I am of the opinion that he may
be prosecuted therefor in the Police Court,
Irrespective of whether he is still the owner
of the apartment house."
The penalty prescribed for violating the
law on this subject is fine of not less than
$50 nor more than 500 for each day of fall

Empire Theater.

Marie Corellis love story "Thelma"
dramatized by Charles w. Case, is offered
as the attraction at the Empire this week.
The play is a refreshing variation from
the cheaply constructed sensational melo-
drama. The story tells of Sir Philip Bruce
Errington. wealthy Englishman. who,
while cruising in the north, meets beau
uful Norwegian girl, who leaves the land
of Ice to become the wife of the rich
nobleman. The story is free from heroic
rescues. There is a villain to interrupt
the happiness of the Englishman and his
wife, but 1t Is not the bold sort of VIII
lain who goes to extremes The cast is
In good hands and is headed by Martha
Beaufort, who portrays the part of Thelma
with great sincerity. b. w. Carpenter en-
acted the part of Sigurd, the dwarf. Dur
ing the third act Marie Baroness Won Eel
Der sang several pleasing songs.

severely burned about her face and hands
yesterday afternoon while using coal oil
to kindle fire. She was at the home Of
her parents. 1873 Van street southeast, when
the affair happened. A physician was call
ed to the house and on account Of the
severity of the burns he had the child
removed to the Washington Asylum Hos
pital.
A fire occurred in the woods on the Over
look Inn property last night This was
only one of several such fires that have
occurred in that vicinity during recent days.
Some wood on the property of the Ana
costa Brick Company was burned. The
fire occurred about $50 o'clock and the
chemical engine company from Anacostia
was called out. The origin of the blaze
is not known.
A blaze occurred early last evening on
the Sheriff road near the Benning race
track. No. 10 engine company responded
to local alarm. but the firemen were
unable to save the.homes Of Eugene Broad

from some unknown cause. and about 500
damage resulted. The buildings were part

LAFAYETTE.

The large audience that filled the Lafay-
cite Theater last night at the opening of
the second week of Miss Eugene Blair's
engagement in this city was doubtless
partly attracted by the atmosphere of curl
osity surrounding "Sapho'' but 1t was even
more an indication of the actress popu-
larity here. The version used by Miss Blail
omits several scenes and incidents which
have come to be regarded as distinguishing
features of "Sapho" production. Miss
Blair's supporting company was the same
as last week. and its work as good. Harry
Keenan, appeared as Jean Gaussin and Jo-
seph Eggenton Uncle Cesaire. Mr. Hal
made a careful effort, and the result was
not without merit. Miss Huxford was eff
fective in the role of Aunt Didonne, and
the parts of Alice Dore and Nine. Eetema
as played by Gertrude Stanely and Kath-
crime Du Barry, respectively, were good.

for over an hour yesterday afternoon by
two light freight cars jumping the track in
such a manner as to lie across three
tracks, the main freight and passenger
lines to and from the city. The accident
occurred about 1870 O'Clock at the intersec-
ton of Maryland avenue with nth street.

when the two cars jumped the track at a
frog, and when they were stopped they
were lying almost at right angles across
the tracks A wrecking train Of the Penn
sylvania railway had to be called into serv-
ice to place the cars back on the rails.
The accident blocked travel over the 18th
street line of the Railway and Electric
Company, the cars over that line being
sent from the wharves up AZ street.
