Telephone Company Asks for Permit

Application has been made to the District
Commissioners by the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company for permission
to erect poles on Minnesota avenue and
Nicholson street, Twining City. In for
wardtng the application to Commissioner
Macfarland. and recommending that it be
granted, Walter G. Allen, electrical engi-
neer, points out the advantage his depart
ment will derive in the event of the Com
missfoners acting favorably upon 1t. He
says that the District poles for a portion
Of the route will be included in the new
line, and better service can be expected
from the police and fire alarm wires now
running on the old steam railroad poles.
The Commissioners will defer action until

New National Theater.

4 The 4lrst impression would naturally be
that clay about Washington would have
q particular interest and charm for the res
idents OF the capital city. Amusing as the
embassy ball il In many respects. It's APP
peal to interest Is no stronger here than It
would be anywhere else. The new vehicle
which Mr.. Augustus Thomas has provided
for that unique and many ways remarkable
comedian, Mr.. Lawrence DOrsay, presents
pictures OF this locality which correspond
rather to a strangers impressions than to
residents knowledge. In choosing this
city for his scene Mr. Thomas was prob
ably influenced by the desire to Introduce
novelty in dramatic locale. So far as the
action of the piece Is concerned, it might as
we'll have been laid In Newport. New York
or Peoria. The close, accurate study OF
which Mr. Thomas has shown himself ca
pable In other productions is not manifest
ed TO the degree which might be expected.
His political types are the conventional ex-
aggeratfons OF current pictorial satire, and
the only local illusions are in the nature Of
familiar sarcasms on the quietude of the
Senate.
But these comments have no more to do
with the case than the title of the play has
TO do with the story. They bear on
1t only remotely. There are things which
might have been. but finding that they are
not, the auditor turns to other promises of
interest and finds himself every now and
then generously rewarded. There is none
VI TIE BlaT6 anu &dfely OF a Q1pO1natlC
function such as the name Of the play
brings to mind. 1t Is the usual story OF
complicated love affairs and personal mis-
understandings, with a leavening of mis-
taken identity, which have done service so
often.

ment with enough threads of unusual tint

BelaSco Theater

e. Mexicana,' a comic opera In three acts
was given Its first presentation to a Wash
ington audience at the Belasco Theater la 81
night, and, II the plaudits of the large audi
ence present are to be regarded as an In.
oeA OF approval, the new venture was a
success. Mexicana" Ia the product OF
Clara Driscoll and Robert B. Smith, who
wrote the libretto of "Fantana" and the
music was composed by Raymond Hubbell
For scenic effects and beautiful costumes
the opera Is far ahead Of anything in the
musical line presented here for a LONG
time. In this respect the management has
apparently spared no expense. The stage
settings met instant approval by the audi
ence when the curtain was raised on each
of the three acts.
The music of the opera is pretty, with
animated ensembles. Some of the solos
were very good. but there was an occa-
sional strain that reminded one most forci-
bly, of good things gone before. While the
melodies are spirited and ample opportun.
ity is afforded the singers, there is sin
gular absence of the tempo one most nat
urally expects in anything Mexican or
Spanish. "Mexicana" without the click OF
the castanets and the cadences of a "Ha-
banera" -distinguishing characteristics OF
the Spanish race-is like English plum pud-
ding without the sauce. The style of dane
ing characteristic OF the Spanish life is
but scantily in evidence.
The company is large and most handsome
ly dressed in the costumes of Mexico, and
the groupings of the chorus afford some
strikingly beautiful pictures. The cast is
well-balanced and rendered good service.
The well-known players Thomas Q. Sea-
brooke, Joseph Herbert, Christie MacDon-
aid and Blanche Deyo are in the company.
Mr. Seabrooke has won popularity with
Washington audiences in former produe-
lions. and his humor retains its strong In
dividual stamp.
Miss Macdonald. in the picturesque role
of an Indian girl disguised in the striking
costume of vaquero, appeared most ac-
ceptable as the heroine of the story. She
rendered several songs in good voice. Ed
rnund Stanley and Edward Martindell, two
members of the cast, showed good voices
in their respective roles. Mr. Stanley has
a very fine bass voice. which he uses to ex-
cellent advantage. Caro- Roma, Maggie
Moore and Helene st. John also distinguish
ed themselves In the cast.
