woman who has been missing from her
cousins home in Anacostia since yes
terday morning has not as yet been
heard from Last night the woods
around the vicinity of where the wo-
man disappeared were searched by the
police, but no trace OF her could be

ACADEMY OF MUSIC
OPENS ITS DOORS
First Performance of Season a Great
Success and Attended by Record
Breaking Audience.

The Academy of Music opened its
season last night with the strong melo-
drama, THE Lighthouse BY The Sea, -
a play which is characterized by strong
situations, good comedy and sustained
interest. The Academy's popularity as
a playhouse was fully attested by the
large audience il drew on the opening
night, and standing room was at a
premium.
THE Lighthouse By The Sea-" which
has been seen here before. tells the
story OF an attempt to take from Caleb
Gale. the veteran lighthouse keeper his
business of attending TO the light. IN
terwoven with this plot are the compli-
cations caused by the return of Caleb's s
VflainOuS sOn-in-laW and the latter's 8
attempt TO get possession of Flora, his
innocent daughter.
The interest native TO the play is ex-
cellently brought out by the good work
of the actors. Undoubtedly. the honors
in this line went TO WiiheIina Francis,
who took the part OF Flora, the con-
vIct's daughter, and 10 George B. Miller
as Caleb Gale. Both got from their
lines and opportunities the most i'm
pressive effects possible.
John r. Cumpson, as Tom Cod, the
lazy country boy, with the constant
streak OF bad luck. also brought down
the house. He was ably seconded by
Tetty Holmes as Minty Lurch, always
busy"
others who won liberal applause from
the enthusiastic audience were Jack
Dunn. as Paul Clifford; Conrad Cartzen.
as Joe DaggetJ: David Elmer. as Ed
Deck; Thad Shine. as Mike Larity, and
Eliza Mason, as MOya o IIara.
The play was well put on, the scenery
being beautiful and well considered as
