Tile Little Gray Lady" had peculiar
interest for the audience at the Column bia
| Theater last night. owing to the fact that
its scenes are laid in Washington. 1t is not
however, the Washington of romance, the
Washington which popular imagination
gilds with official pomp and luxury. 1t IS
drama of the back yard and It's types OF
Humanity If not altogether complimentary
TO some Of this city's local population are
at least amusing ana interesting. The
Characters are a series of thumb nail
sketches moving through plot whtcn is
entirely meodramatic. The struggle TO be
first In sef-sacritce is insistent and at
times touching. The sentiments are of the
| Hottest description. and there is no villain,
the most culpable person in the u < being
2 secret service man wEo keeps the plot
moving by going about among The various
characters ana carefully explaining the de-
tails of his operations. T'its tends to keep
the parties under Investigation IN state
of high nervous tension, sucn as IS requisite
for the display of an acting co n2any
abilities. PathoS of the pureSt ana most
sincere sort elbows bathos in dialogue and
Incidents. but the pathos preaomlnates tri-
umphant and a secure interest in The for
tunes of The Little Gray Lady is estab-
Hshed early in the play and Is maintained
with affectionate sympathy throughout her
humble but troubious career.
Mr.. Claiming Pollock, the author has
shown a capacity for reproducing homely
details that is extraordinary and admirable
The scenes and characters he depicts are
studied out with microscopic faithtulness
and the result is sometimes comic, some
times absurd, sometimes full of sentiment
but always interesting. Miss Julia Dean in
the title role proved actress of EXtraordl-
nary charm She Is quiet ana restrained IN
her methods and reaches her ciInlaXes with
out undue physical demonstration and yet
with strong emotional emphasis. Her per
sonality IS refined and her methods UNI
ostentatious. Her performance of the role
of Anna Gray gave it dignity and womanIi-
%
ness allotted to her drifted dangerously to-
ward travesty. The play is so full of good
character sketches that it is difficult to Sc
lect favorites. Miss Dorothy Dounelly does
d fine bit of work as a heartleSs and silly
girl, dra wing the character so harsnly,
however, that it is hard to account for the
fascination she eXerts over young Mr.. Car
lyle. The role of Carlyle is well played by
John w Albaugh, jr., but it Is thanaless
part Mr. Carlyle proves himself so IN
reliable both in money matters ARA affairs
of the heart, that his affection seems
scant reward to the Little Gray Lady" for
all her gentle heroiSm.
