GALLAND
SCORES A HIT
Her kitty Bellairs' a
Revelation to Theatergoers.

Bertha GaIland has come into her
own
So says the management. and the
statement is substantiated by the YER
dict of the audience at the Belasco. The
ater last night that welcomed her to
/ Washington as Sweet Kitty BelIairs. the
belle OF Bath and the darling of the
InniskiIlings Dragons.
Neither the Pride of Jennico" nor
Forest Lovers afforded her the oppor-
tunity she has so cleverly grasped in
Agnes Egerton Castles Bath comedy. As
the witty and dashing young Irish wild
ow' she exhibits artistic ability and
a thorough sympathy for the role that
would rouse the interest of the most
! blase first-nighter.
The story of the play is too well
known to bear repetition. Washington
mas seen the comedy before. 1t has
/ seen II well acted and with stage set
I ungs quite as elaborate as those in the
present production. But Washington
saw this week fer the first tirae very
talented young actress in a part she
should have had sooner. It is claimed
that the role was originally intended
Tor her and her portrayal Of ii more
than warrants the claim.
Her support is not brilliant, but fairly
satisfactory. Charles Hammond as Lord
Nerney, the timid lover who later be-
comes the fearless champion of a
wrongly suspected woman. is at his best
when after throwing up his commissic-.
~ the defense of honor and forced to
submit to the taunt of cowardice, is
persuaded his sacrifice has been useless.
Carlisle Moore. as Capt Denis O'Hara
won favor by his creditable portrayal Of
gallant young Irish officer and high
minded gentleman. Edward Emery. as
the designing Captain Spic-r. and
manding the kings Own, deserve com
mendation for cream, straight acting
Fanchon Campbell, as Lady Standlsn
Wept her part very eOnVincingly and
came in for generous share OF ap-
plause.
The scenery and costumes are faithful
representations of the period and add
rich color 10 an interesting picture of
old English society.
Sweet Kitty Bellairs," with Miss Cal
land IN the title role, should enjoy
long and prosperous run. After the many
dreary productions that have been in

Burton Holmes Interests a Large Audi
ence With His Travelogue.

1t is rare that a theatrical perform
ance brings as big house as gathered
yesterday afternoon at the Columbia for
the Burton Holmes ''rraveiogue'' on the
Tyrol Mr. Holmes, by the way. ap-
peared perfectly at home in his bor-
rowed plumes, and IL any of the audi
ence had anticipated a malicious pleas
ure In seeing him less point device than
usual they were disappointed
At each Of his lectures Il seems to the
audience that the pictures are a little
better than ever before, and certainly
it would be hard 10 imagine anything
lovelier than some Of his colored- views
Of the Austrian Tyro4
Many of the audience. however. wished
that Mr.. Holmes had not "freak ked'@
some of his motion pictures as he did
For instance he tried to show the clouds
moving around the mountain tops and
the slow, stately sweep tnat would have
taken nve hours. in fact, he reproduced
In about thirty seconds. The effect was
ridiculous. the great ffeecy masses of
vapor lost all dignity, and became ex-
cept Tor their color, like leaves eddvine
In a wind. Then again he showed the
Worshipers coming out OF the little
church at Innsbruck into a rain And
they came out peli NELL at top speed
ike lot Of school boys turned out for
recess. The suggestion that they SIM
ply could not get away from church
quick enough was so obvious as to raise
in the wicked a smile.
These are mere triffes, but they rather
marred a most ENJOYABLE afternoon and
they were not quite in keeping with the
admirable discretion and perfect taste
Mr.. Holmes has taught the public TO
expect Of him. This criticism. OF course.
does not apply TO all his motion DIc-
tures-indeed, 10 very few-and his color
views and his telephotograpilic views
were quite up to his own high standard

AT THE LOCAL PLAYHOUSES
COLUMBIA.
KyrIe Bellew as Rafles Repeats Last
Years Success.

a large and appreciative audience at
the Columbia Theater last evening
showed that Washington has not lost
its liking for 'Raffles. the Amateur
Craclsman, the play taken from the
stories of E. w. Hornung. Kyrle Bel
lew. in the title role. repeated the sue
eesses ne has had here before in the
part. as did z. n. Holland, the detec-
tive in pursuit of Ran1es. The support
ing company is uniformly good
Mr.. Bellows attractive appearance,
athletic figure, and pleasing address
serve to complete the idealizaion of the
character OF Raf1les in the play as COM
pared with the portrayal made of him
in the HOrnung stories. Through the
four acts Of tho play Mr.. Bellew shows
70 the audience a man who is ideal in
every respect save one. There Is In his
blood the one taint of the desire for
stealing as a sport, not for mere gain.
BY means of the love story running
through the action he is afforded every
opportunity for acting the part as that
Of man possessed of soul. high
ideals, and worthy aspirations This,
With the stirring scenes and situations
in the play. makes the performance as
whole one OF high and we'll sustained
interest. Mr.. Bellows work is finished
and clever throughout.
He Is ably seconded by r. NJ. Holland
as Captain Bedford. whose acting is a
piece. Mr. Holland succeeds in making
every scene in which he appears fraught
with meaning and interest
n the supporting company the work
Of Frank Mccormack as Crawshay the
professional thief, stands out for par
ucuiar mention. Olive Wyndham, Clara
Blandick, LOrena Atwood, and Frank
Connor also did creditable work.

Relief Felt Over Franco
German Affair.
THE OUTLOOK BRIGHT
France Has Secured Some Safeguards
About The Negotiations Which Rou-
vier Considered Indispensable.
Both Countries in Agreement
on Several Matters.
(Rv the Associated Press. }


Paris, July 10.-Premier Rouvier's
announcement in the Chamber of
Deputies today of the terms of agree
ment between France and Germany
concerning Morocco brings deep
sense of relief. The text of the three
notes fully confirms the general i'm
preston relative to the lines OF the
negotiations Germany's contention
for a conference receives the final adj
herence of France but Premier Rou-
yier has secured the safeguards which
he insisted at the preliminary confer
ence with Prince Won Radolin We're
Indispensable The most important OF
these safeguards is that the conference
shall not convey any prejudice To the
Anglo French or Franco-Spanish en-
tentes. While Germany does not Spe-
cifically assent to these agreements
she formally withholds dissent. This
is considered an important gain Tor
France over the ambiguous position
Germany heret~re occupied.
Both countries agree as to the SOW
ereignty of the Sultan, the dependence
of Morocco and the open door without
inequality. This has always been the
policy of both governments so neither
can claim victory i'm this respect. on
the other hand the agreement recog-
nizes Frances special interest i'm the
country due to the geographical proX-
unity of AIgiers and its right thereby
to police the frontier and maintain
peace and order.

ed for through the Schuylkill Arsenal
here has been stopped by peremo-
tory order Of Quartermaster General
Humphreys in Washington and that
thorough investigation Of the af-
fairs at the arsenal has been begun.
Continuing the Ledger will say:
Because of conditions under when
contracts are given out at the arsenal
nearly half of the dress coats in ques-
ton have been manufactured and paid
for They lie idle in the store house
at the depot, and i'm the opinion of
experts of the government who have
examined them, are absolutely worth
less for the purpose they were made.
A contract for about 200,00 pairs
of dress trousers is In the hands OF
manufacturers Stoppage on this
work also is expected, within a few
days. Ii is believed that the investi
cation which has been started win
show that the government has lost To
the extent of millions of dollars by
the methods in vogue here.
THE contracts I'm question are held
by three firms which have factories I'm
