Gus The two productions will TO-
gether employ COO people-more than
have ever been employed at the Hippo

The circus features, which have al
ways been identified with the Hippo

IN the new Offering. An entirely new
set OF novel circus features will be in
troduced In the arena, between the two

The Washington times., 1906-11-18

~ HIS has been Washington's busy
week, theatricaly. Each OF the
three leading houses has had an
attraction that was good enough
of it's own sort to have been the feature
OF an average Washington week.
Chase's has had Mrs. Langtry as a
drawing card, and down on Ninth street
both the Academy and the Majestic had
shows even a little better than usual
from the point of view of their own pa
irons.
The Pelasco had, of course, the f,a-
ture Of the week in the annual SothCrn-
Marlowa engagement, and the produc-
tion of three unusually interesting
plays-all of them practically new to
Washington audiences. OF the three, un-
doubtedly the Jeanne dare is likely
TO be the most popular. though either
one Of the others-''The SunlEen Bell or
John the Baptist"-has a higher intel
lecJual appeal
As n matter Of fact they are all rather
spec tacles" than plays. though one does
not Ike TO use In reference 20 such pro-
ductions q word that has become so
identified with "a certain sort of stage
glitter, noise and color. as to suggest
nothing else 10 the average render And
the three Sothern-MarloWe plays are as
far removed as possible from that sort
OF thing.
They have their very vital characters,
and these are yividly portrayed. They
have their splendid stirring dramatic
moments. But the first and the last
at least are rather chronicles than
dramas. a little incohcrent, a little lack
ing In consecutIveness. They are cpl

into firm. close knit. dramatic texture.
The SunkeL Bell" the fairy play, a
bit of pure symbolism, Is Ia a class BY
itself
AS for the stars-they have never been
seen 20 better advantage. Sotherl has
certainly reached his hiE.. water mark
in Heinrich. the bell founder. and IN
John the Baptist. His Due d'Alencon,
though il is Of less importance as a
sure and vivid character study, is
scarcely less artistic. Miss AIarlOwe' s
Jeanne dare is infinitely poetic and
infinitely moving. She has done that
sort nf thing before. and done 1t well,
though never. perhaps, better. But her
SaIome is a revelation. II is the sort
or thing she has never done before.

The support was remarkable. The
company numbers in the nelghboThood

John the Baptist" there Is an unusual
number OF speaking parts. Anyone in
any OF the casts might so easily have
failed to rise 20 the plane of the produc-
don. that one can only. be grateful Ia
Inem all for the keen intelligence and
the remaTkable discretion thas main
