Belasco Theater.

"Fantana," the New York musical COM
edy success, was presented at the Belasco
Theater last night for the first time in
Washington, and, judging from its recep-
ton by the large audience, It bids fair to
be one of the most popular plays of its
kind that has been seen in Washington for
many a day. "Fantana' Is clean bright
and pleasing, the cast capable, the plays
stage dress thing of beauty, the music tune
full and catchy" OF plot there is the usual
slender thread, to be snapped and tied and
snapped again, but there is laughter and
song to spare, the music ripples and tin
kles in the ear. and good-lookng chorus
frolics over the stage, whether the scene be
laid in sunny California, in the land of the
mikado or in the middle of the Pacific ocean
Jefferson de Angels Is the chief Of the
department of folly, and he gets away
from the rather conventional opportunities
AFFORDED him to such an extent that his
own particular brand of nonsence and stage
business are, so to speak, the whole show
De Angels gives the impression that he
plays every night and an occasional matt
nee just for the fun Of it. Last night was
the first chance the Washington public has
had to see Julia Sanderson who appea red
as F'antana, since she became prominent in
the musical comedy world Miss Sandersop
is both youthful and charmingly dainty,
Her voice Is not remarkable In quality but
she uses 1t to good advantage. Toby Claude
VINO mas her own niche in the amusement
world, furnishes no small part of the com.
edy of 'Fantana" Her methods are as
original as those of De Angels. and last
night, as an English slavey, her dialect and
facial contortions were highly amusing
Wllliam BlalsdeHs character work was ex-
ceptionally clever, and Hubert WiIke Roh
ert Broderick and Frank Rushworth were
acceptable.
'Fantana" Is the work of the late Sam y
Shubert and Robert B. Smith, with music

scenic accessories and the general staging
of the play are adequate.

''The driver of the coal wagon who steals

ment of Judge Kimball in the Police Court
this morning, in his consideration OF the
case of Edward Kilgore, charged with
stealing two bushels of coal from Andrew
Gleason. 1t was testified by Mr. Gleason
that he had contract with William Riley
for coal to be delivered on the sewer work
In Southwest Washington. At different
times the weights had been short and the
blame was laid on the coal dealer 1t was
developed by this and other arrests, how
ever, that the drivers are largely respon-
siole for the shortage. This brought about
the remark made by his honor
In this case Kilgore was to deliver coal
at LIST and Canal streets southwest On his
way ne stopped in Willow Tree alley south
west and dropped off a couple of bushels
OF coal in front of his home. Policeman
Williams learned of the act and he soon
afterward arrested Kilgore for the larceny.

Is much about the play itself that appeals
to the interest Of a majority of modern the

intrIcacies of plot. but 1t Is carefully con-

wholesome comedy, a generous sprinklinY
of really sparkling dialogue, and the story
Is developed with unusual cleverness. In
addition to the intrinsic qualities OF the play
tine splendid manner Of its performance en-
dances Its enjoyment to the auditors. Sell
dom, IL ever, has Mr.. Drew been seen in
more congenial role than that OF Jim De
Lancey, which affords him ample opportu-
nifty for the exercise of his dry, restrained
style of humor and displays him In tho
type of hero that not alone arOuses feminine
admiration. but is agreeable TO masculine
minds as well. De Lancey ID a grass

prodigal and easy-gofng, but w1thai KIND
and generous and a thorough good fellow.
His close friend, DR.. Horton. Is engaged TO
Jacqueline MARBLE, with whom De Laneey
is secretly in love. Just prior 10 the pro-
posed announcement of JacQueline's engage
ment she calls on De Lancey at his bache-
lor apartments and discloses her love FOR
him. His loyalty to his friend, however,
will not permit him to declare his anection
for Jacqueline, and instead he pretends In
terest in another girl The arrival In the
rext scene of an irate and aggressive father
from the west who intends to see to 1t
that his daughters affections are not tr11ed
with, adds zest to the action and plot. In
the end Dr. Morton discovers an affection
for Irene Willard, Jacqueline's friend, and
the obstacles to the course of true love be-
tween De Lancey and Miss Marble are re-
moved to permit happy ending.
Mr.. Drew's characterization of De LanoSy
was one of the most enjoyable he has given
in a long time and his work was received
with the enthusiasm of a responsive audi
ence. AS Jacqueline, Miss Margaret Dale
was decidedly pleasing and Miss Doris
Keane was clever and pretty as Irene Mil

ances of Walter Hale as DIR. Morton. Kate
Meek as Aunt Ruth and Menffee tombstone
