Belasco Theater.

After an absence of three years, since
its original presentation in this city, The
Darling of the Gods returned to Washing
ton and opened last night at the Belasco
Theater for a weeks engagement. In the
interval the play lost none of its charm,
and the audience which greeted the joint
production of David Belasco and John
Luther Long last night was fully as en-
thusiastic as that which witnessed the first
production. "A series of pictures 1t Will
be remembered. was the title originally
given to the scenes in the first and last
acts and a series OF pictures, with none
of the attraction lost, were the reproduc-
tions last night. Ever since the first pres
entation of the Darling of the Gods ROB-
ert T. Haines has taken the heros part
as Kara. the outlaw prince and leader OF
the crossword men. and his delineation OF
the character last night bore witness to the
finish the experience OF three years has
enabled him to give to the part. Blanche
Bates was not there TO play the part or
Yo-San, daughter of the Prince of Tosan,
but II detracts naught from the reputation
Miss Bates earned to say that Miss Percy
Haswell the present fo-San, portrays the
role with complete satisfaction. The story
of the play circles round the idealiZation nf
first honor and then love.The authors have
made IL evident that the ambitions and the
passions of today, moving only In diner
cnt channels animated the Samural IN
their fight to extinction against the Sword
edict' OF the emperor. and inspired the ma
tired and intrigue of the war minister and
his spies The coterie of actors who sup
port Miss Haswell and Mr.. Haines all do
their work very well. AS Zakkuri, minis
ter of war, Frederick A. Thompson puts
strange power into the sustained express
sion of hatred and intrigue. and Florence
Nash, l.. Atkin, Atkins Lawrence ana
James W. Shaw might be singled out as
wing narticularly good performances.
In all the pictures presented Mr.. Beiasco
has risen to his best in the production OF
scenic effects, and again last night, as II
was three years ago, the magniflcence OF
each succeeding picture alone was sum-
Gent to draw long-sustained applause from
the audience.

LABOR UNIONS TO AID JEWS.
Gompers Protests to Witte Against
Russian Outrapes.

Organized labor in the United States.
which claims much Of the credit for bring
ing about the first steps toward free gov
ernment in Russia, has joined forces with
the American Hebrews and others In pro-
testing against the outrages that are being
wantonly committed in that country by
mobs and the soldiery. President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation of
Labor yesterday afternoon sent to Count
Witte. at st. Petersburg, the following ca
blegram:
while all the world applauded the great
achievements of Russia's workmen in the
great work of liberty the hearts of Amer
ica's workmen were aglow. The cause of
liberty and justice should not be smirched
by atrocities and crime. If Russia's work
ers will as sternly use their united power to
repreSs the vicious maSsacreS of human life
they will still further earn and deserve the
warmest gratitude and lasting sympathy
of justice and liberty-loving humanitarans
the world over. The lives of all men of all
creeds and all faiths-Christian and Jew
alike-must be secure If true liberty is not
only achieved, but maintained for all time.
"On behalf not only of the three million
organized workmen. but also of all the
workingmen of America, will you kindly
convey this message to your countrymen
and our brothers of labor?"

GIVEN EXTRA COMPANY.
Central High School Completes First
Battalion Of Cadets.

Enlistments already made at the Central
High School assure the organization of an
extra company for the first battalion of the
High School Cadets The first battalion has
not been able to muster four companies
since the separation of the technical courses
from Central four years ago. Great dis
appointment was expressed by the pupils
at the beginning Of the fall term that the
growth Of Central had not yet guaranteed
the fourth company. but since then the
addition has been secured by the active
efforts Of those already in the battalion.
The new organization will be Company L.

decided upon, First Lieut.. Sherman of Com
pany Is favored for the new captaincy.
At the Business High School enlistments

enlisted to insure two companies. The uni

T h E T Il E A T E R.
New National Theater.

Mr. Nat c. Goodwin's first appearance
here In his new play. "Wolfville." was
greeted at the New National Theater last
evening by fair-sized audience. This new
vehicle for the exploitation of Mr.. Good
wins acting abilities consists of scenes. In
cidents and characters picked out rather
promiscuously from Alfred Henry Lewis
'Wolfville' sketches and combined into
dramatic form by Clyde Fitch and Willis
STEEL. 1t is melodramatic in style and pre-
sents several thrilling incidents, with an
accompaniment of gunplay considerable
amusing dialogue and entertaining delinea-
ton of picturesque types popularity supposed
to inhabit certain sections of the great
southwest. The piece, however, Is loosely
put together and the characters appear to
lack definite and consistent motives. But
Notwithstanding the defects of the play the
personal popularity Of the star was not ef-
faced and the audience permitted itself to
be thrilled and amused in turn, manfesting
It's enjoyment of the players efforts by
hearty applause.
Mr. Goodwin Is seen in the role Of Chero-
kee Hall, a square gambler and operator
of faro bank in Wolfville. with Faro Nell
as his partner. Through the insinuations
OF the bad man" of the piece the citizens
of the town connect Cherokee with series
OF stage hold-ups and, in endeavoring to
shield the honor of old man wilkins, with
whose daughter Cherokee is in love, he
barely escapes lynching at the hands of the
Wolfvile citizens. On several occasions
during the action of the piece Cherokee,
who Is conceded to be square" Is put to
the task of explaining his actions. The real
highwayman is foiled In his attempt to as
sassinate Cherokee, Is captured by him and
Is finally strung up by the citizens and all
ends happily. Mr.. Goodwin makes the most
of his limited opportunities in the part and
received several curtain calls. Mr.. Guy
Standing had the rather uncongenial role of
Bfltlsh Bill, the stage robber. and gave
good performance. katherine GREY won
favor in her portrayal of Faro Nell Jessie
Busley as Benson Annie and Sam Edwards
as Enright added materially to the comedy
elements of the performance w H. Post.
a former member of a local stock comnanv
was seen as old Wilkins. The scenery is
picturesque and preserves the locale Of the
piece.

members of his competent supporting COM
pany, was enthusiastically applaudcd The
role of Mr.. Pipp, the retired PittsburR
IRON master with his hundred millions of
dollars and distaSte for idleness seemed to
mt Mr.. Bell like a glove. He has never
been seen in Washington in any dramatic
vehicle better adapted to display his pecu-
ilar style or humor, and from curtain to
curtain his work was delightful and con-
sstent
Last night Mr.. Bell was the penetrated
Mr.. Pipp to the life. He successfully
simple, sincere. old-fashioned and hen
pecked iron-master and millionaire. 1t
would be difficult to suggest a single I'M
provement in Br. Bells makeup.
The supporting company was entirely
satisfactory. Helen Tracy, as Mrs Pipp,
the domineering, nobility loving, social
striving wife of the iron-master. who with
all her faults has heart "as big as all
outdoors" achieved distinct success. An
other clever bit of character work was done
by VS.. Stellar, as Count Charmarot, crou-
pier, courier, bogus nobleman and arch-con-
spirator. Fred Courteney, as Herbert Fitz-
gerald, the riding master, who turns out to
be Lord Fitzmaurice of Carony Castle, and
Robert Warwick, as John Willing, were
typical Gibson men. Janet Beecher and
Adele Luehrman. as Mr.. Pipp's daughters
gave life TO the well-known artists pen
and ink creations of femininity. Credit for
good work is also due Sam Colt as Due
De La Touraine, G. Jay Williams as Baron
Haussling, Fred Reynolds as Congressman
Firkin, Grace Thorn as Lady Viola Fitz-
maurice of Carony Castle, and Ellenore
Carroll Mrs. F'irkin.
