A series of notably interesting vaude-

at Chases which was played before two
large audiences yesterday. Musical
numbers. dance specialt1es and the ever
popular .one-act play are some Of the
features of the bill.

BLANCHE WALSH
At THE NATIONAL
Her New Play Revels in
Realism.

Whatever else may be said of THE
Woman in the Case il is undoubtedly
one of the plays that will force you to
sit up and take notice The whole in
terest OF the drama centers in the third
act, and the third act deals with a
phase OF life and class of women that
quite number of healthy minded people
think should be kept on the stage. or
course, in the end virtue triumphs, -
but before that consummation is
achleVed the audience is given a living
picture of real life that rings absolutely
true. And the life portrayed is not good
to look upon.
Clyde Fitch has taken the notorious
Nan Patterson case as his theme A
man named Long has been killed. Cir
cunstantial evidence seems to indicate
tnat murder has been committed, and
that MS intimate friend, Julian Rolfe, is
the murderer. The motive alleged is
Jealousy, and the woman in the case Is
SIalre roster. a parasite on society.
margaret Rolfe. the faithful wife sus-
poets that the Foster woman, who has
furnished DANA ging evidence against
Rolfe, could clear him. To discover the
woman's story she rents an adjoining
nat and plunges into the life of the
apartment house-in all but reality In
the powerful third act she encourages
the Foster woman, who has become her
bosom friend. to drink an excessive
amount of champagne and secures from
the Wretched druRkard an admission
that Long shot himself in her presence
Star Is Overshadowed.
The play is exceptionally well acted,
but in the parlance of the turf, the IA
vorite ran third. Blanche Walsh does
her part well. but her work is overshad-
owed by that of Frank Sheridan as Mr..
Thompson. the lawyer, and Dorothy
Dorr as Claire Foster, the woman In the
case. Mr.. Sheridan is easily the best OF
a good company. and his clever acting
received the best part OF the applause
at the National yesterday
Dorothy Dorr is excellent throughout
and In the third act her realism is
enough TO send a shudder down ones
back. The entire cast is more than sat
isfactory.

ACADEMY.
''No Mother to Guide Her" Capably
Presented

A big Christmas crowd. which filed
almost every available space, greeted
Lillian Mortimer last night in her new
play NO Mother to Guide Her" Her
performance of the unique character Of
Bunco is alone worth a visit TO the
Academy this week. In addition TO her
interesting personality and fine acting,
she is supported by a first class COM
pany.
The plot is strong and easy to follow

operations visits country village close

of Farmer Day. Incidentally he falls in
love with his daughter Rose, wh is
secretly married 10 Ralph CaI.

AT THE LOCAL PLAYHOUSES
MRS. F|SKE AS
LEAH KLESCHNA
Receives Excellent Support
i'll Strong Play.

Leah Kleschna' is easily the best
play Washington has seen this season
and it has been many seasons since such
a play has been acted in this city by q
company in the same class with that
supporting Mrs Fiske at the Belasco
Theater. 1t is no lack of genuine appre,
citation for the star of the performance
that causes one to realize that were
she out OF the cast the drama would
siill hold you in its grip. Every inn
portant character is intrusted 10 an
actor who would make success of even
mediocre part.
The theme is one of absorbing inter-
est-the revolt of a really pure soul and
an exceptionally strong mind against
the almost overpowering influence of
crime Leah Kleschna's father is a
burglar with q genuine pride of profess
sion. He is a man of splendid physical
courage domineering tyrant, who can
only oe unnerved by danger that threat
ens-not him, but the daughter he
adores. To him life is a game in which
the men who amass fortunes legally are
contemplate in their hypocrisy. He
classes himself a fancy worker
honest in his dishonesty. Amid such
surroundings and influenced by such a
distorted viewpoint. the motherless girl
approaches womanhood.
The play is carefully worked out and
sustains interest to the very end. Mrs
Fiske gives the character of the girl
burglar a living soul. Her lightest touch
is effective. IL is not a clever actress
one sees beyond the footlights. The
illusion is perfect that absorbing in
terest in the girls mental struggle is
wrung from one unawares.
George Arliss. Raoul Berton. is
hideously convincing. The pale twitch-
ing face is that of a moral degenerate
II needs no stage business TO bring out
the fact that the character represented
is a cigarette smoking absinthe fiend
John Mason as Paul Sylvaine, is in
striking contrast He portrayS a man
with a truly noble mind and his work
is an exhibition of suppressed power
a realization of the best in dramatic
art Every member of the company de-
serves credit for conscientious and in
teliigent work-work that is far above
the average.
But one thing marred last nights per-
formance. The usual holiday audience
was in evidence and was made up in
part of persons who should be legally
barred from entering a theater where
anything but burlesque is given. At
moments when the play had reached
its most dramatic situations. many in
the house found occasion for amusement
in acting that was terribly tragic. The
twitching muscles of Raoul Bertons
crime distorted face had comedy ele-
ment for them that was lost on anyone
with even average intelligence. Wash
ington is not a Jay town. and inteili-
gent theatergoers should be protected
from this unhappy class of amusement
seekers who are totally lacking in ap-
probation of true dramatic art.
Among the large audience principally
MADE up OF young people home for the
holidays were Senator and Mr~ Scott.

OWINGSVILLE. Ky. Dec 26-Re-
ports from Wayne county state that a
policeman arrested a foreman of a
mountain railway camp on a charge of
larceny, and fifty workmen rushed on
him and forced him to surrender his
captive. The policeman telephoned for

the wOrkmen fed into the mountains,
taking the foreman with them. They
are strongly armed and say they will
not give up their comrade. Extra de-
tails of police have gone to the scene
and fight is expected. The fugitives
have been firing scattering shots from
the woods all day, but none have taken
effect.
