merry court of Charles II, and displays a
series of elaborate stage pictures full of
court splendor and richness of costume

ton that Mr.. Skinner has ever made. In
the earliest scene De Grammont is seen
as the airy court gallant. pursuing idle
ffirtations with the coquetteS at the pal
ace of Whitehall. He Is the lght-hearted
But when he gazes upon Elizabeth Hamil-
ton, 'the beautiful Hamilton, his heart
is lost and he becomes the genuinely fer
vent wooer whose love romance ennobes
all the succeeding scenes of the play. But
while Cupid hovers over all, the efforts of
the prof1igate King Charles to win De
Grammont's sweetheart give rise to roman
tic situations galore. Intrigue crosses
swords with intrigue, and De Grammont
shows his heroic valor in what is said to be
stirring scenes Of defiance of the dfssoute
monarch The whole court, with its schem-
ing cavaliers and frail beauties, is declared
to be depicted in piquant character COM

ventures of a commercial traveller in

feated the plots of her enemies. Many

The Washington Retail Grocers' Protec-

rangements for its first food show and in

held in Convention Hall from the 4th to the
10th of December inclusive. Each and
every one of the associations 400 members
is thoroughly interested in the undertaking
and the complete success of the affair Is a
matter of personal pride with the associa-
tion's members. The time of holding the
big show is most opportune. During the
opening days of Congress 1t is believed that
strenuous efforts will be made to pass
uniform food law. The big show thus as
sumes national Importance, for here will be

F. c. Whitney. The music is by Lucius
Hosmer and the libretto by Charles Elmer
son Cook, whose lyrics stood out with such
conspicuous merit in THE Red Feather"
Mr.. Cook in that work showed faculty
for substantial and consistent rhyme which
Is almost unique. There are but few libret-
lists competent to give the touch of lite
rary grace that lifts stage versifcation out
of the ordinary rut, and Mr.. Cook has given
every promise of q welcome novelty In this
respect The story has for Its heroine an
Andalusiau girl who dwet In an ancient
palace of the Moorish kings at the time
when the erratic monarch, Philip V, sat on
the throne OF Spain. The comedy is provided
largely by the king, whose favorite fad was
to pretend to die every few days and enjoy
rehearsal of his own funeral. he also had
the habit so common to monarchs In bis
tory as well as fiction, Of concealing his
Identity and going out among his subjects.
The complications revealed by the plot are
original and interesting. Miss Lillian Blau-
welt assumes the title role. Edwin Stevens
and Eugene Cowles are In the cast.

WRIGHT LORIMER.-The career OF
Wright Lorimer illustrates what play can
accomplish even in these days when the
competition among actors has reached a
point never touched before.
Mr. Lorimer comes of Massachusetts
stock. and was born in that state some ten
miles from Barre. He entered the district
school, and from there went to the Worces-
ter Academy. where he fitted for Colgate
University. From childhood he had an In
tense desire to become an actor, but his
people seriously objected and as he showed
great interest in literary work IT was de-
cided TO give him liberal education. From
Colgate he went to Oxford University, in
England. pursuing special studies there for
a year. and then he travelled for year or
so on the continent, seeing the best players
on the French. German and Italian stages.
Returning 10 this country, the young man
was offered a chair in English literature at
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-11-19

and with this end in view he worked unre-
mtttingly. AS seen by the young actor and
an associate, the story of the rise of the
shepherd boy David to fame and power, his
relation with King Saul and Jonathan, and
interpolated love interest with Michal; in
fact. the biblical narrative of the books of
Samuel could be dramatized and they were.
OTIS SKINNER.-Otis Skinner long ago
won solid recognition for himself as one of
the best opponents OF romantic acting on
the stage of today. Nor was this rank
awarded to him by any sudden verdict of
popular applause. He has served a long
and distinguished career in devotion to the
highest ideals of the drama and the actors
art. Lawrence Barrett was the first great
tragedian with whom he played leading
roles, and with Barrett he was the favorite
support for many seasons. 1t was Barrett.
indeed, who recommended him to Edwin
Booth to play the same part with Booth
that Barrett had been playing during their
memorable association as co-stars. From
Booth Mr.. Skinner passed to the support OF
Nine. Modjeska, with whom he also be-
came identified as co-star during the last
year in which they played together. with
these great artists he laid the foundation
for that mastery of tragic force and inten-
sity which he has revealed during his own
stellar career in such roles as the love-tor-
tured Lanciotto in his elaborate revival OF
His Petruchio and Charles Surface have
proven his efficiency in the classic comedy.
In lighter comedy of the modern school ne
won his spurs a member of the late
Augustin Days famous stock company
when IT was at the zenith of it's brilliancy
and prestige. At Days he alternated with
John Drew in all the leading Juvenile roles,
and went abroad with that notable organi-
cation on its memorable tour Of England
