"Adrea."

David Beias 20 announces in the most
definite terms that he will present Mrs.
Leslie Carter in "Adrea," in Convention
Hall for the week beginning Christmas
Monday, December 26. This viii be well
come tidings to those in Washington who
recall the triumphs which Mrs. Leslie Car
ter already has achieved here and who
remember with sense of pride that it was
this city which first placed the stamp of
artistic and popular success on "Zaza." "Du
Barry" 1.-THE Darling of the Gods and
Sweet Kitty Bellairs." These plays have
invariably scored runs of extraordinary
length and favor in New York, that city
having empha tieally Endorsed the critical
opinions given here It is small wonder,
therefore, that Mrs. Carter and Mr.. Beiasco
have come to look upon their Washington
verdicts with a hopeful if not superstitious,
interest Consequently, when difficulties
presented themselves this year, Mr.. Belasco
was more than ever determined that the
custom which has brought such success to
himself and Mrs. Carter should not be in
terfered with. For several days past Con-
vention Hall has been undergoing COM
plete change. Only half the auditorium will
be utilized for seating purposes. A COM
plete stage and proscenium have been erect
ed, and other alterations have been made
in ready acquiescence TO the requirements

CoflING ATTRACTIONS
Columbia Theater

The grand opera festival at the Columbia
next week by the Savage English Grand
Opera Company and orchestra offers a pre-
tentious program of eight performances,
beginning with the first production here in
English of Puccinis beautiful La Boheme."
This picturesque tone-picture of life in the
Paris Latin quarter has been selected for
Mime. Melba's first appearance this year at
the Metropolitan, in New York, and the
opportunity TO hear it in Washington will
doubtless attract brilliant audience to
the Columbia Monday night.
La Boheme" is to be repeated on Thurs
day night. Its performances will be under
the musical direction of chevalier Emanuel,
who conducted the opera 100 times before
coming to America. Lovers of Wagner
will have their favorite '"Tannhaeuser'' on
Tuesday night and "Lohengrin' on Satur-
day night. Notwithstanding the German
masters -"Rng, " "ParsffaT' and others.
these two tone-dranas will always be re-
garded by many as Wagner's most salts

worn with afternoon clothes by many
smartly dressed men. Braided waistcoats
were also conspicuous. Though the wing

but a semi-formal collar whereas evening
dress is rigidly formal in its whole plan

are a fresh fad of the younger set which
tends to rob the evening clothes of that
simple severity hallowed by custom and
endeared by tradition.

The Determiner of Fashion.
The popular idea that the very rich young
man fixes the fashions is of a piece with
many other popular ideas. One Of the
wealthest young men in the country whose
name is rolled as a tidbit under the public
tongue dresses like hostler on a holiday
Another young millionaire, whose face is as
familiar in the daily newspapers as the
newest brand OF breakfast food, wears COL
lars and waistcoats that are minstrel enor-
mites To accept such men as patterns of
correct dress merely because they have
pedigree or pelf Is clearly absurd The real
determiner of fashions is the varsity bred
man of social position. who belongs to the
smarteSt clubs, mixes with the best people

quired the taste and broad tolerance which
spring from travel, observation and contact
with cultivated men and women. He .s

that to the young rattlepates, who are ruled
by buttons and braids-but is a stickler for
the proprietieS which underlie the whole
plan and purpose of dress If have adopted
