Lecturer Takes Hearers Through,
Italy with HIS Pictures.

The Rock or Gibraltar without the
advertising was the first scene shown
by Dwight Elmendorf at the New Ma
tional Theater yesterday. Four views
OF the famous British fortress gave a
good understanding Of the beauties of
that remarkable promOntory. The large
audience was next transported TO Italy
and the land Of art and artists was ex-
plOred and It's treasures laid bare
Following a brief stop at Genoa
which city has a handsome statue of
Columbus, the lecturer took his hear

much historical data Of these great
cities OF the renaissance period. Sew

photographed and were greatly ad-
mired

was entered from the waterside. and
the views Of this magnificent city are
among the finest Mr.. Elmendorf has
shown In Washington this season. The
Bridge OF Sighs. the Lions Of St. Mark
the Grand Canal. the Byzantine Church
Of San Marco. and the carnival were
some OF the many views shown. To
those who have seen Venice and to
those who have only heard the praises
Of the city sung, the sight was equally
interesting.
There Will be two more lectures, the
one next Monday on Southern Italy. and
the one December 20. on Palestine.

John u. KeIlerd Does Excellent Work
I'm .'Taps" at the BeIaseO.

The large audience which was attracted
90 the BeIasco Theater last night was
given an artistic treat by Mr.. John L.
Kellerd and an unusually strong company
IN Taps" tragedy Of German mill
jarism. which was written BY Franz
Adam Beyerlein. Taps was reckoned
one Of the successes Of the past season.
The story deals with conditions somewhat
strange to the American mind; yet it is
fundamentally one OF simplicity and d.
rectness. It IS the old. Old tale Of the
non-commissloned against the commits

service, the proud wearer OF the Iron

tion, and falls d victim 10 her fathers

The grim old veteran failing IN his
determination 10 Kill the lieutenant, turns
his weapon against himself. and dies

the daughter viii not give up her lover
4 curious unconvenuOnality OF plot is
in many ways exemplihed. For instance
the lieutenant, who IS not a bad sort
at all. declines TO marry Klara merely
because of some fancied inelegant reia-
tive OF hers-nOt objecting either TO her
or her father on grounds of inferlority;
and again the role OF KlaTa is SO calcU-
lating and In a way UnhliaL
Mr.. Kellerd lived the role Of Sergt.

nothing but praise. Actors Of his expe-
rience and ability are far too scarce. aad
Mr.. Kellerd's delicacy in playing a part

gate it to the background stamp him at
once as ar actor of artistic subtlety and
praisewOrthy intent.
Fulton Russell, as Corporal Queiss. the
woman hater gave an unusually brilliant
piece Of character work. and the Lieut.

manly and straightforward a welcome

and cringing stage villain. Miss Viola

difficult role OF Klara. although hardly
equal 10 the emotional requirements OF
such a part. Other excellent bits were
TIE Won Howen OF Charles James, the
Helbig Of David Murray. and the Michael
of James Ayres. The court-martfaI
scene was capabiy handled by the eff
cient company, but part OF its strongest
situation, as well as the better part of
the last act, WAS marred for many Of
those IN the orchestra seats, owing TO
distinctly audible conversation IN one Of
the boxes.

among the principal features OF the winter
gayeties, and the first one practically
opens the season.
Notwithstanding previous entertain
ments, the first Monday german is the
place al which the debutautes meet the
dancing men, and it Is the one affair at
which they aim 10 look their best and
about which they are always a bit neT-
vous. For many years the gaFmans have
been given at Lehmanns HAL. which,
after experience. has been found 90 be the
most suitable. The interior was complete
~ transformed this evening. and made
most attractive. The handsome hangings
Of gold brocade completely covered the
side walls Of the stage and draped the

Sewing Machines
AS Xmas Gifts.

THE Woodward & Lothrop
Sewing Machines have Justly
gained universal favor. For
excellence of work, lightness in run
ming and durability they have no
superior. The great demand for
these machines causes such quick
sales that they can be sold at a
minimum profit. Their popularity
is proof of their worth.
The Woodward & Lothrop Ma
chimes are fully guaranteed. The
works are constructed of the best
materials, and the frames are of
highly polished quartered oak.
AS a gift to a wife OF daughter
they are practical, useful and &C
ceptable.

At the National Theater last night a
large audience testified to the unwaning

OPENING NIGHT AT THEATERS

SOuSa's .'FFee Lance" Witnessed by
Large Audience at the Columbia.
A musical confusion masquerading un-
der the name of comic opera may not
accurately describe "The Free Lance +"
presented at the Columbia last night, but
then no accurate description or classitica-
ton of the thing is readily feasible when
space Is limited and time presses. John
Philip Sousa provided the music. evident
ly at odd moments when he had the
WITNESSES, and Harry B. Smith perpe-
trated the hbrettO when he wasn't think
ing. Between them they have provided a
means whereby Joseph Cawthorn and
Jeanette LOwTie. aided in various ways
by many other people, can keep a good
natured and not critically-inclined audi
ence laughing intermittently for a couple
Of hours. and send It home feeling that
there are many far less satisfactory
schemes for passing an evening.
The plot Of the work has already been
outlined in these columns. and it wouldn't
do to repeat It. There is a refreshing sug-
gestion OF the nursery about It's simplicity
and it is worked out by the company with
all the abandon Of incurable burlesQueTs.
as no doubt Il ought TO be-
There was no ether way 10 treat It TO
make II go. There are hints Of carlcature
in at least one of the leading characters,
but they are so faint and Intermittent
they don't count for much IN the round
up. There are several march choruses
that have the Sousa swing and resonance
to them. and these were enthusiastically
received by the large audience. Topical
songs OF the good old style are not
wanting, and they were very well render
ed by Joseph Cawthorn and George SchTl-
er. The latter in the character OF the
Emperor Of BraggadOcia was especially
good in the song with chorus. L Do 1t
All by Proxy" The chorus here was very
effective. vocally and otherwise, and the
audience showed its apprecia ton gener-
ousiy.
The female chorus is. In fact. good
throughout. but evidently little attention
was given to the male chorus in organic
ing the company. Focally. the principals
may be divided into two classes. with
Nella Bergen. the Princess Yolande, in
one, and al the rest IN the other. Miss
Bergen can sing with sweetness and skill.
and gave a charming exhibition Of her ara
In the Carrier Pigeon" song In the sec
ond act To this she did full vocal jus
tice. and was warmly apDlauded for her
effort Mr.. George Tallman. who was the
Prince FI0rian. also has a voice Of good
quality, and perhaps ought 70 be included
in Miss Bergen's class. Joseph C0wthorn
and Miss Lowric were very funny at times,
and kept the audience in pretty constant
smiles when they were on the stage. Miss
Lowrie's Goose Girr' song was cleverly
done.
The musical burlesque, for that Is what
''The Free Lance" IS. was well staged.
and tho costuming IS ali that could be
asked Il isn't work that will add any
thing 20 the regulations Of Sousa and
Smith, but there are many more preten-
tioUs pieces on the road that afford FAR
less amusement

''The Child of the Regiment" at the
Academy.

Charles Z. Blaney presented a new play
at the Academy last night. which proved
a great success Although IN some re-
spects The Child OF the Regiment is a
companion play to Across the Pacific -
IN the main II is a departure from Mr..
Blaney's usual theme. AS the title sug-
gests. IL is a war play but IL does not
depend upon military complications for
rs interest, as the quiet love story Of
TWO strong characters carries the plot at
all times. An eccentric Englishman holds
the humorous side Of the story. Mr.. Al
Foster was intrusted with the role and
gave a finished performance. Walter
Wilson, who assumes tho leading part
is a very capable actor, one seldom seen
at this priced house and together with
Miss Vivian Prescott. he makes this
