Barnhardt in WAngelo.N

angelo the play in which Nine. Bern
hardt appeared at the Belasco Theater last
night while one OF the least familiar was
by no means the least interesting of the
plays In her repertory. 1t Is a powerful
and striking example of the intensely ro-
mantle school of which Victor Hugo was
master and In which Sardou was SO capable
and faithful student. Its acting opportu-
mites are more diffused than in most of the
Bernhard dramas, and the excellent COM
pany appearing with the great French act
ress was seen to especial advantage last
night. The performance of M. de Max as
Homodei proved an interesting and unique
Interpretation. He gave 1t a touch of grim
humor, which at times was almost gro
tesque. Yet the serious and sinister aspect
of the role was never disturbed.
Nine. Bernhardt, in the role Of the actress
whose feelings are constantly racked by
conflicting emotions Of love and hatred,
jealousy and gratitude, was the same
superb emotionalist that she has always
been. Tonight the play will be "Sappho."

PERMISSION DENIED
ATTORNEY BELIEVES COMPANY
NOT ENTITLED TO OPERATE.

| 1T Is difficult to perceive in what man
ner any substantial enterprise could be
| conducted with capital of one dollar, or,
what is the important consideration, how
such capital could afford any security to
| creditors either of the mercantile class or
! of the class sure to arise by the maturing
of the policies of the company. think the
| superintendent Of insurance should de-
| cline to issue license to the Congress
sional Life Insurance Company to carry
on general life, health and accident in
surance business in this District
! This is the finding of Corporation Coun-
| sci e. H Thomas submitted to the Com
| missioners today in reference to the Con-
! gressional Life Insurance Company. The
opinion was ordered to be obtained when
the Commissioners took cognizance Of the
request of Supt. Thomas e. Drake of
the District insurance department for in
struction in the premises.
Text of the Opinion.
The corporation counsel, in his letter ac-
companying the opinion, went into an an
alysis of the subject in the course of which
he said:
The Congressional Life Insurance Com
pany of the District of Columbia proposes
to conduct general life, health and acct
dent insurance business in the District OF
Columbia and elsewhere upon a capital
stock of one dollar divided into one hun
dred shares of one cent each. The Ques-
ton seems to be whether this company
can be licensed TO conduct the business
described with a capital stock of 81. The
charter of the company does not state
whether the business is to be carried on
after the custom of old line, level premium
or mutual companies. The language of the
charter is broad enough to cover any one,
or possibly all, of these. Companies OPP
Grating with a capital stock, however, are
usually conducted on the old line, or level
premium plan" 1t Is after this statement
Of fact, and after liberal quotation from
authorities the nature and purposes OF
capital stock that Mr.. Thomas submits his
opinion that the company should not have
license. Commissioners Macfarland and
West have approved the opinion, and the
papers are yet to go to Commissioner Bid
die.
Previous Action.
AS was stated in The Star at the time,
the Congressional Life Insurance Company
applied for and secured a charter December
6.1SO5, and subsequently, the company wrote
to Supt. Drake asking whether 1t was neces-
sary for them to do anything further be-
fore beginning business. 1t was in response
to this official notification that the company
was seeking to begin operations In the Dis
trlct that Supt. of Insurance Drake wrote
to the Commissioners asking that he be ad-
vised whether his department was required
under the law to Issue @ license to the Con-
gressional Life Insurance Company.
