a musical comedy, it Is really skit ar
ranged for the comedy roles of Messrs. j.
F. Sullivan, the tramp; Billy Watson, the
well-known German comedian, as band
master, and Arthur Whitelaw, a Hibernian.
Their rollicking portrayal of these charac-
ters kept the audience in almost continu-
Gus laughter, Mr. Watson being unmis-
takably a favorite. There are three acts in
the play, one at railway station in Seat
tie, another on board yacht at sea, and
the last at Dawson City in the Klondike.
During the play there are some incidental
musical numbers. There are many pretty
girls in the choruses and dances, and the

not intended to be taken seriously. It Is
very highly polished farce presented by
a very high-grade company. Arnold DAILY.
Katherine Grey, John Findley and Mary
Hungerford are more conspicuous than the
other members. but there is an ease and
evenness through the entire performance
which prevents 1t from being dominated by
any particular player.
The scene of the play is one of the Eng

all intensely English but greatly over
drawn. The story and the situations are
extravagant throughout. but it is because
of its whimsical impossbility that the play
is so clever and sustainedly entertaining.

around this farcical situation Mr. Shaw
has woven play that carries a laugh in
almost every line and at the same time
gives Mr.. Daily and his associates chance
to do some very effective serio-comic acting
with her rough old father and her fiippant
but philosophical sutton.
But the whole subject Is treated with
too light a touch to be taken seriously
Mr.. Shaws humor, whether conscious or
unconscious, satirizes twentieth century

Arnold Days portrayal of the penniless

NBwsBoYs, AT DINNER.
Over Thousand Guests Of Mr.. sam1
J. Masters,

There was no happier gathering In Wash
inston yesterday than that of the newsboys
as guests of President Samuel J. Masters,
president of the Peoples Savings Bank
The Queen restaurant was the scene and
a score OF walters were kept busy from 8
O'Clock until after g. The urchins who carry
the daily news to many homes were given
permission to eat to their hearts content
and stomach's fiji. The menu was such as
would delight any small boy of the street,
and each of those present gave 1t an ap-
prevail that could not be doubted.
1t had been intended that the company
should form ranks about 8 o'clock and
march upon the restaurant, but early ar
rivals grew impatient and as soon as the
number was well over a hundred they
were escorted upstairs by side door and
set to work. While this contingent was
sweeping the table the crowd on the street
below grew with the darkness. At this
point was Mr.. Masters, who, not content
with providing the feast, was there to see
that his little guests were not sighted.
repletfon and were scattering glowing ac-
counts of their experience through the
hungry crowd it took all the persuasive
efforts OF Mr.. Masters and his friends to
mold the little fellows in check while the
walters prepared for the next party.
Mr. Masters gave dinners to about 1900,
including the colored boys, at the Central
Cafe at 18th and E streets, where about 200
youths were given dinner of chicken
with Trimmings
Although no restrictions were put upon
their enjoyment, not a boy abused Mr..
Masters hospitality by rude conduct nor
was even a single dish broken.

A large dwelling house belonging to Mr..
George Rawlings, in Westmoreland county,
va, near Colonial Beach. is reported TO
have been totally destroyed by fire during
the latter portion OF last week. causing
loss of about $1.5oo. on which there was
but a small insurance. A steam feed cut
ter, the report states, was being operated
not far from the house short time before
the fire started, and IL Is supposed that
sparks from the machine caused the blaze.
When the flames We're discovered they had
gained considerable Roadway, and could not
be checked by the limited appliances for
fire fighting at hand, and the efforts OF
those about the place were directed toward
saving as much of the contents of the
dwelling as possible. II is understood Mr.
Rawlings will rebuild in the coming spring.

BeIasco Theater.

The engagement of Nine. Bernhard in
this city cannot fail to awaken the deepest
and most sincere artistic interest Her ap-
pearance at the Belasco Theater last night,
In one of the least attractive plays in her
repertory, called forth demonstrations OF
enthusiasm which leave no doubt as to the
spell which her magnetism and superbly
polished methods WELD over her audiences.
1t was Sarah Bernhard herself rather than
the heroine of Sardous play who was La
Sorciere of last nights performance.
This recent product of Sardous wonder
ful craftsmanship has already been seen in
this country. with a scenic environment no
less beautiful. and even SURPRISING that
employed for the Bernhardt presentation.
Too much gratitude should be felt toward
the American players, those who are living
and those passed away. for their enterprise
in TRANSPORTING the great successes of the
French capital, TO permit comparisons In
which strong prejudice must naturally
be felt In favor of the actress who first
gave them vitality. and whose genius shines
as reflected light in every effort to repro
duce them.
The appearance of the French actress on
the stage last night was the signal for a
demonstration of sincere welcome. 1t was
an assurance of loyal admiration, and per-
maps a suite mint that the former giOrleS
of her long and respondent career would
be gratefully taken into account to Offset
any slight present lapses from her own high
standard. The absurdity of the proud i'm
perious and mettlesome Sarah asking odds
from anybody, last of all from an audience,
became evident before her first scene was
half over and at the close of the fourth
act there was burst of applause whose
duration measured five curtain calls.
In La Sorciere" Sardou has allowed his
personal opinions in matters of church and
state to assume an Importance which is not
justified by the general character of
his work. His mission is to interest and
thrill and not to preach. The historic sur
rounding he has chosen for his story is,
after all of slight consequence. and atten-
ton Is centered upon the skill with which
he varies his one familiar theme that Is,
the sacrifice of which great love Is caplbie
when its object is In peril. Two figures
stand out in vivid relief in a Sardou play
woman and man. The man is lover,
yirile yet of fine sensiblity picture such
as may be conveyed by many actors. The
woman is always Sarah Bernhard. Her
performance in the inquisition scene was a
triumphant climax. and convincing evil
dence that, regardless of the passing of
time, this actress still represents the loft
lest criterion by which modern histrionio
Interpretation is to be measured.
