New National Theater.

Whatever else may be said OF Clyde
Fitch's The Woman in the Case" pre-
scented at the National Theater yesterday
for the first time in Washington, with
Blanche Walsh In the leading role, it is TN
deniably a strong play. Interest is created
early In the development of the plot and
is augmented step by step and logically,
reaching telling climax in the famous
supper scene in the third act. If at times
1t seems that the colors are laid on with
too heavy brush, 1t must not be forgot
ten that the playwright aims to paint no
dainty pastoral. The lights of the ten
derloin shine red and do not match with
neutral tints.
The unexpected is always expected from
Mr.. Fitch, but In THE Woman In the
Case" he has builded vastly better than
usual. The development of attractively
domestic condition into situation of the
tenseness of the supper scene is no trifiing
dramatic achievement. And 1t is no less
this supper scene that makes the play.
When a devoted wife, masqueradtng as a
woman OF the half world. lives for two
months in a daily, even hourly, repulsive
contact with woman Of the streets, seek
ing to surprise from the latters evil heart
a guarded secret of life and death, the
situation, theatrically speaking, is probable
and interesting And when, on the last
night of grace the devoted wife, smoking
and drinking and talking the slang of the
SlTttLSt plIeS eNll ana DSdull1ul COM
panion with wine, directs her drunken
babblings into the channel she desires, and
finally, surprising the secret, chokes her
into insenslbility in an outburst of long
pent-up rage, the situation is both intense
and dramatic. In fact, the supper scene
reaches such q height that descent to the
next act possesses the sensations of sud-
den drop.
Miss Walsh as Mrs. Margaret Rolfe, the
devoted, self-sacriflcing wife, had part of
great scope, whose possibilities were every
one accepted. Ably supplementing Miss
Walsh's work was the portrayal of Claire
Foster, the woman in the case by Dorothy
Dorr. She compelled admring even though
disappearing attention to her exceedingly
unsympathetic role of thoroughly evil
woman, and her sustained effort In the
drinking scene when she babbles of her
life, and finally of the great secret, COM
manded applause.
Eleanor Carey, in the part of Mrs
Hughes, mother Of Mrs. Rolfe and second
Mrs. Malaprop, was clever and amusing
and Grace Gibbons and Katherine Bell as
Elsie Brewster and Dora Miller, respec-
lively, were capable. Frank Sheridan as
Mr.. Thompson, lawyer and man of affairs
did clever work. There were two perform
ances yesterday and there will be Wednes-
day and Saturday matinees.

ice at the residence, GAS East Capitol street,

Rev. Dr. John Chester in speaking of the
deceased, said the profession of teachers
stands higher than that of a minister OF the
Gospel. in the molding of character, and
that Christ was the Great Teacher. He re-
ferred to the fact that Miss Grant had
taught school nearly a quarter of century
and for nineteen years was a principal, tina t
her whole heart was in her profession; that
she had been the leading spirit in the Matea
missionary band in his church and two of
the members of the band became mission
aries in foreign lands.
DR.. s. n. Newman, the pastor of the
church, spoke eloquently and feelingly of
Miss Grants connection with his church and
her ideal character. DIR. Bischoff and his
full choir rendered the hymns Jesus Thy
Name I Love- and Nearer My God to
Thee" as well as the anthem, lone Sweet
ly Solemn Thought" Ambrose, arranged for
the whole choir
Many beautiful floral offerings were re-
ceived. The undertaken and the pallbearers
