failure means not only a pecuniary

reasonable to k1lieve that many sue

Mabel Mckinley. niece of the late
President OF the United States. has

drama. She Is now appearing in a play
called The Parsons Wife, and IS said
to have proved her dramatic ability.
Miss Mckinley is also known as a COM
poser OF several catchy airs.
Edna May will return TO England
next March to remain there several
seasons under the management OF
Charles Frohman. Miss May is this
year presenting "The Catch OF the Sea
son." and will continue in this play
when she goes to England. Her popu-
larity on the other side is much great

The Season s Losses.

On the other hand, the loss this
season in new productions is enough
TO ruin any but wealthy managers.
Some of this loss would certainly
have been avoided If successful old
plays had been continued or renewed.
Suppose. for instance, Charles Froh-
man had turned down ''Wolfyille"
and chosen for Nat Goodwin a play
fike THE Gilded Fool" or In Miz-
Zoura." Goodwin and the company
that supported him in the dramatiza-
ton of the Lewis stories would, in
the judgment of the writer, have
packed theaters with any one OF
three or four plays that succeeded
and were abandoned several years
age.
1t must be admitted that two OF
the new plays are paying good divid-
ends. Maude Adams in Peter Pan,
and Blanche Bates in THE Girl OF
the Golden West" have both reach
ed New York and settled down to {
good, and, apparently, lasting bust
ness. But, when the season is over

Two Washington Actors.

Miss Odette Tyler and r. D. MacLean,
who will appear at the BeIasco Theater
in Washington on November 20, are
washingtonians. for whom in the hearts
Of Washingtonians there is a particu-
larly warm spot Miss Tyler is a Geor-
gian by birth. and Mr.. MacLean Vir-
ginian; both have achieved most pro-
nornced success on the stage. and both
have appeared in Washington at various
times under auspices more than ordi-
narily interesting. Now. however. that
both appear here together In an all-star
cast OF the tenth anniversary revival of
Mr.. Belasco's THE Heart of Maryland"
much interest attaches to their advent
into this. the city Of their chosen home.
Miss Tyler plays the role OF Maryland
Calvert which was formerly created for
and played by Mrs. Leslie Carter. and
Mr. MacLean essays the role OF General
Kendrick. The vehicle which brings
them back to Washington is an old
story to their multitude of friends in
this city. but they come here as one
among many luminaries OF the first
magnitude. In one Of the first and most
| pronounced Of the Belasco successes.
Miss Tyler. though many I'm washing
ton know her only as Mrs. Shepherd. was
1 Bessie Kirkland. of Georgia. and her
husband. now known TO the stage as
/ r. D. MacLean. was r. d. Shepherd. of
/ ShepherdstOwn, w. Va. When Miss
Tyler took to the stage she discarded
the name by which her friends in Geor-
gia knew her. and became known only
IS Odette Tyler; Mr.. MacLean had. in
the meantime. discarded his Virginia
name and was known as r. D. Mac
Lean; since the twain have become one.
the subject OF individual nomenclature
has become quite a joke among the
friends OF Miss Tyler; to some she is
known as Bessie Kirkland; TO multitudes
OF others she Is known as Odette Tyler;
TO still many others she is known as
Mrs. r. d. MacLean; but 10 the chosen
few in Washington whom she has Sc
lected as her friends. she is known as
Mrs. r. d. Shepherd. and by this name
she prefers 10 be called though OF
10 discard her stage name of Odette
Tyler. hence she maintains that in all
that pertains TO her stage career.
Washingtonians who have followed the
career Of Miss Tyler will be more than
r delighted to learn OF the successes she
has achieved in the part she is now
playing in Mr.. BelaSco's revival of The
Heart OF Maryland" Il was as this
particular character Maryland Calvert
which, by aid OF the belfry scene. Mrs
/. Leslie Carter swung into prominence
and fame. and Miss Tyler. surrounded al
she is. with an all-star cast, ha;

the new plays seen here up to the

Washington's support of "The Vir-

ly every city that has seen the play
this season. And now we are told
the production, with Farnum in the
title role, will be used again next

in THE Heart of Maryland this
week, and his judgment has been

The most interesting feature of the
week is the iavishness of the stage
settings and costumes which form
the background for three dramas at
the leading theaters

at the National. a tale of old Jerusa-
lem. Will be presented with scenic
effects that. judged by criticisms in
out-of-town papers. rival the great
"Ben-Hur'' production. The play is
not new. but it comes to Washington
for the first time this week.
"His Grace de Grammont." Otis
SINNERS new play by Clyde Fitch,
is founded on the reign of Charles
81. and is said to reproduce the reck-
lsssly extravagant mode of life that
obtained in the court of st. James
during the most brilliant. as we'll as
the most profigate, epoch of Eng
lish history.
THE Beart of Maryland" needs
no introduction to Washington. This
IS a festival revival and BeiasCo's
reputation as a master of stagecrafi
guarantees an elaborate production
that will not suffer by comparison
with rival attractions.

David BeIasco has three plays in pros

has particularly caught the fancy OF
the astute manager, and he looks for
great success for Miss Galland in the
principal role. The character is that
