Coming to Their Home.
Hanford, His Wife, and His Manager
All Washingtonians.

The theatrical attractions which have
originated from the Capital City have
been comparatively few OF the many
eminent players that Washington has
contributed 10 the stage, Charles B.
Hanford is the only one who season af-
ter season has organized his produc-
tions in this city
His company for THE Tanning of the
shrew, which he Will produce at the
Columbia Theater, was organized in
this city. Rehearsals were conducted
here; his printing, with the exception
o. elaborate photographic work, was
done here, Even the paper was made
ir Georgetown. Popularity enjoyed by
Mr. Hanford in his annual tours, which
have extended TO the Pacific Slope, is
abundant assurance of the adequacy of
his equipment Mr.. Hanford himself
is a product of that well remembered
institution, the Lawrence-Barrett Ora
matte Club. which has given so many
distinguished players to the stage and
which went out of existence because of
the exodus of its membership into the
professional ranks.
His leading woman is a Washing
tonian. A little study of her stage name,
Miss Drofnah, reveals the fact that II
is Hanford spelled backward. Mrs.
Hanford has enjoyed the rare distinc-
tion OF being her husbands chief rival
for hohors in his own company. F.
Lawrence Walker. who has been asso-
ciated with Mr.. Hanford for more than
fourteen years, as his manager and in
other capacities, is also Washing
tCnian.

Design for Program of
Nj. Hamlet of Denmark

The cover design for the program of
the Mask and Wig Clubs performance
of Mr.. Hamlet Of Denmark was
selected from large number that were
submitted. It is the custom of the Mask
and Wig Club with the approval of
the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
to offer annually three prizes for the
best cover designs for their program, TO
be competed for by the art students of
Philadelphia. Great interest is always
taken in this competition and many de-
signs are made and submitted to the
judges. This year there were so many
excellent designs that the committee
was at a loss which ones to select.
The first prize was finally awarded to
Miss Edna Wybrandt Smith, a young
lady of Philadelphia whose work as an
artist has excited much admiration.
Her design represents the Prince of Den
mark kneeilng and gazing earnestly into
the sockets of Yorick skull which he
holds in his hands. The expression al
Hamlet's face is renar arkable and one
can almost hear the famous words,
Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him, Hor-
alto.

She Stoops TO Conquer.
Eleanor Robson and Kyrle Bellew With
d Great Company.

From Merely Mary Ann 20 Kate
Hardcastle; from Raff1es, The Anna
teur Cracksman to Young NARROW,
are the transitions recently performed
with ease, grace and dramatic integrity
by Eleanor Robson and Kyrle Bellew.
These talented players, who. In the roles
just mentioned have had triumphant
tours of the United States, head the
superb aii-star cast that will present
Oliver Goldsmith's rare old comedy,
She Stoops to Conquer" at the New
National Theater. on Monday and Tues
day nights. May q and g.
Only masters of their art could appear
TO equal advantage In roles so entirely
dissilnilar. Reports from New York,
where She Stoops to Conquer" met
with an unusually enthusiastic recep-
tion at the fashionable New Amster-
dam Theater, say that Miss Robson's
portrayal of bonny, audacious. adora-
bic Kate, is further evidence, If anv
were needed, that this the youngest of
American stars, Is the most talented
The Washington times., 1905-05-07

and, personally, the most attractive
actress our stage has seen since the re-
tirement of Mary Anderson. Hers is de-
clared to be the best Kate Hardcastle
seen by the present generation.
Mr. Bellows Young NARROW is well
known. although it had not been seen
In New York before in about twelve
years. Long ago his conception and
treatment of this alternately shy and
ardent lover became the standard by
which aE other actors were judged when
they essayed the role.
The rest of the extraordinary cast is
fully In keeping with these two leaders,
as will be seen from this list: Louis
James plays Mr.. Hardcastle; Mrs. Cal
vert, the Mrs. Gilbert, OF London" is
Mrs. Hardcastie; ]. E. Dedson Is Dig
CORY, Sidney Drew is Tony Lumpl1iR.
Frank Mills is Hastings, and Isabel

This Season.

Washingtonians have come to look
forward each spring and summer to
the Columbia Theater for their amuse-
ment II has been the custom of this
theater each season to present a strong
dramatic company in q series of re-
vivals of well-known plays. The man
agement has always selected with great
care the organizat to represent
them. This season 1t claims TO have un-
doubtedly the strongest company yet
presented.
The company this season is headed
by Guy Standing and Charlotte Walker.
Mr.. Standing has occupied IL leading
position with Charles Frohmans COM
panies for several years and is consider
ed one of the leading actors on the
American stage. He has just closed his
season with Mrs. Patrick Campbell a
her leading support. Charlotte Walker
has appeared here for the last four
years as the leading support to James
X Hackett and has, indeed, divided
the honors with him. and many are the
predictions that Miss Walker is destined
to become one Of the leading American
actresses
Another valuable member of this or
ganization is Jeffreys Lewis, considered
one OF the pest character actresses and

NEED NEW FIRE ALARMS.
Insurance People Worried O0er In
efficiency of Present System.

Insurance men in the city yesterday expressed
much anxiety on account of the apparent break
down of the fire alarm system on Tuesday hlgnl
when serious fire started at Nos. AS ana 80
Broadway. 1t was ascertained yesterday lhat
It took fourteen minutes to get call trans
mitted to Fire Headquarters after the fire was
discovered, and then the call was sent from the
box at Greene and Mercer SITS, the alarm boxes
nearer the building where the fire was having
failed to work. Strangely enough. the telephones
between Police Headquarters and Fire Head
quarters failed to work in the interval
Deputy Chief Kruger saw the blaze from his
headquarters In Lafayette Place before any
alarm reached him, and he went to the IRE ana
sent out a second alarm. The delay in summon
ing the firemen allowed the fire 10 get such
Roadway that large confiagraton was narrow
ly averted.
Fire Department officials have madc repeated
demands for appropriations to supply the city
with a new fire alarm system. They have as
serted that New-YOrk is behind almost every
other city in the country in respect to the means
Of calling the f1remen. There is no duplicate
system on which to depend if the present sys-
tenn should break down. entirely
The Board Of Estimate and Apportionment
has failed to give the money to provide another
fire alarm system. the cost of which would be
considerable Insurance men say that there ap-
pears to be no hope for new system until the
city is visited with big confagration.
