BELASCO.
Eddie Foy, Surrounded by Good Com
pany, Makes a Hit.

Surrounded by ali the glitter OF stage
accessories and large and extremely
busy chorus. Eddie Foy came to Wash
ington last night with THE Earl and
the Girl" The play was presented in
the Belasco TEeater before an audience
which filed the house and gave the
comedian hearty welcome.
a series-of tuneful airs makes up the
score of The Earl and the Girl" They
are generously distributed throughout
the piece. many of them being supple
mented by clever dances that received
many recalls The future popularity
of these musical numbers was evidenced
in the readiness with which the gallery
boys caught the infectious strains and
whistied them through the intermis-
sions.
If The Earl and the Girl had been
furnished with much of a plot it would
have ceased 20 be classed with the form
of entertainment which is manifestly so
much in demand at this time. There
fore. the authors of the piece have in
serted but fiimsy story in order to keep
Foy and his associates going The COM
edy Is of the sort that has made Foy
conspicuous light in the galaxy of
MIN
to get in all his old familiar side play,
and a dance or two, but fortunately
only little bit of his singing voice. He
manifestly pleased the audience In his
delineation of the dog trainer. Jim
Cheese and was without a doubt the
one whom the audience went 70 see.
The company includes several we'll
known players. Conspicuous among
these is Amelia Summerville, who ap-
pears in the role of an eX-strong woman
of circus on the hunt for the man
who has Tilted her daughter. Miss Sum
merVille was so good 10 look at that the
fact that she was provided with a
thankless part had little effect. Elsie
Moore was delightfully."- graceful and
was given several of the prettiest musi-
cal numbers in the play Victor Nor
ley was an excellent foil to Miss Moore
and their speciality in the first act was
extremely clever Local audiences are
familiar with the work Of Templar
SAKE. who has been identified with many
successful musical productions. He has
a fine voice and good presence and If
he were only willing 10 eliminate his
tendency TO vocal heroics there would
be little to criticise in his performance.
Nellie Mccoy is the best dancer in the
company ana distinguished herself In
thi. regard.
The famous Swing" speciality was not
included in the program last night al
though a note announced that IL would
be used. This is the feature which first
brought the comedy to public notice

ACADEMY.
David Higgins, in a Racing Play, Is
Enthusiastically Received.

David Higgins. the Kentucky gentle
man, in His Last Dollar" play
written by himself and Baldwin g.
Cooke. scored a success at the Academy
last night.
Mr. Higgins has been called the Nat
Goodwin os popular prices. and he bore
out that reputation last night. Scarce
" once throughout the performance did
his voice rise above a natural, we'll
modulated tone.
His leading lady. Elenor Montell.
vividly portrays the character of the
Southern girl, dependent upon her wit
and her horse to save an invalid father
from the grave. Wall Street specula-

approval The racing fraternity was out
in force last night to see the play.

jockeys occupied box.

MAJESTIC.
The Sultan of Sulu Meets With q
Royal Reception.

"The Sultan Of Sulu,'' George AIDES
tuneful comic opera, which began a
weeks engagement yesterday at the Ma
jestic Theater, was given a rousing well
come. The audiences which witnessed
the matinee and evening performances
were record-breakers. and did not ex-
perience a dull moment from the rise
10 the fall of the curtain. Albert Mahar,
as XII Ram. the Sultan of Sulu. estab-
lished himself on friendly terms with the
audience early in the performance. and
his every word, act, and grimace was a
signal for hearty laughter
The scene of the play is laid in Sulu of
JolO. one of the Philippine group of
islands, and at tims wnen the Sultan's
territory IS about to be invaded by neigh
boring enemies Greatly TO the relief
OF the Sultan. however. a ship load of
American marines. commercial travellers,
and soldiers land on the island and take
him under their protecting wings.
The play Is well staged and a large
chorus of male and female voices render
many bright and catchy airs.
Among the song hits are topical songs
by Mr.. Mahar. including "R-e-m-o-r-s-e'
and 'Manistee. u. S. A." by Frances
Damerest: I'VE Are Engaged" by
Miss Damerest, and S. ]. Broughton, and
The Old Jay Bird by Sinclair Nash.

NATIONAL.
Rogers Brother in Ireland" Is Replete
With Jest and Music.

Gus Rogers appeared al the National
last night in The Rogers Brothers In
Ireland" The other brother. Max
Rogers, is i'll and his part was taken by
Joseph Kane. Mr.. Kane did fairly well.
but the fun would have been faster If
Max had been in working harness. A.
whole, however. the piece vas well
received by the large audience present.
THE Rogers Brothers in Ireland is
a thin thread of unexplained possibili-
ties On which Is hung innumera5le op-
portunities for jokers 20 crack jokes,
singers TO sing songs and dancers TO
dance. The principal feature of the
story is the unsuccessful attempt of the
Rogers Brothers" TO steal the famous
Blarney Stone.
In each of the three acts. Gus Rogers
and Joseph Kane had ample opportUni-
ty to get off a long line of tunny talk
which each poured down the throat of
the other with evident relish. THIS sort
Of fun has been carried TO its highest
development by the Rogers Brothers, and
lats night IL amused the audience with
all the old-time tholoughness. In the
second act Rogers and Kane brought
down the house with their parodies and
original sayings.
Corinne. as Alice O'Grady. an Irish
lass, made favorable impression. She
put lot OF snap and go into her whole
performance. and in the last act. when
she sang 80 Different" giving her an
opportunity for her unusual powers OF
mimicry, she was repeatedly eneored.
Bessie de Vote, with her pretty, laugh
ing face and good singing and dancing
was pronounced favorite with the
audience.
Others who contributed largely to the
success OF the performance were Maur-
ice Darcy. whose singing redeemed his
awkwardness on the stage; Charles +.
Mccarthy. Josie IntropOdi, and Julia
Eastman
The large chorus was well drilled and
made pleasing impression. especially
in the train scene of the second act

AMHERST MUSICAL CLUBS

The Amherst Glee. Banjo. and Mando-

New Willard last night. They made a
decidedly favorable impression.
The mandolin club. directed by q

CHASE'S.
String Melody of August Van Biene
Feature of the Bill.


Musical Washington will find a rare
treat in store this week at Chase's In
the appearance of August Van Biene. a
cello player of much merit His Sc
lections range from the works Of the
masters to the old-fashioned American
airs that have done service these many
years There is a charm about Van
Biene's playing and a wealth Of express
sion that makes one grow fonder still
of string melody. His Interpretation Of
My Old Kentucky Home" awakens a
tender chord in the heart of each and
every one in the audience.
Van Biene is Ihe headliner OF a bill
that has hardly a weak number. Ida
ODay. with a pretty face and wearing
bewitching gown, sings several songs
and gives a number of banjo accom-
paniments.
Brockman. Mack ami Belmont appear
in a musical comedy. a patchwork Of
song and jest. It's given a name. The
Count on Mothers Account" J. C..
Mack appears as mother in makeup
that is hit. When the cards announce
the Harmony Comedy Four the pub
lie is led TO expect some straight sing
ing. but in return is dosed with a knock
about act in which the singing end OF
IL seems to have been neglected. More
of IL would lend strength to the act
A novel turn is that of Al Lawson and
Frances Namon, the comedy cyclist and
physical culture exponent The former
does some splendid balancing work on
the wheel while the latter introduces a
clever bag punching exhibition.
Tom Hearn lends a European favor
to the bill He does a lot of eccentric
comedy work that's genuine and he
makes an immense hit
Missing from. the program is Henry
Lee. who was to have given his presen-
tation of well-known men, past and
present. No hint was dropped to ex-
plain away the failure to appear Of the
popular vaudeville artist.

Wreckers," a sequel 10 the moving pic

Stands Chance of Getting Life SEN
tence in Illinois Prison.
Davenport, Dec. 1Tf-William Nagel
of Muscatine, discharged from indict-
ment on the charge of murder on a
teachnicality of law and acquitted on
the charge of robbing the body of Carl
Brady in house boat on Island B
in the Mississippi river, was convict
ed Saturday in Cambridge on the
charge Of burglary with intent to COM
NIT murder. The indictments were re-
turned in Rock Island, but the case
was taken to Cambridge on a change
of venue.
The states attorney believes that
under the law the convicted man can
be sentenced to penitentiary for life,
which is probably all that would have
been given him If he had been tried
for murder. The defendants attor-
neys, however, are hopeful of securing
shorter sentence.
