Chase's Theater.

On almost, If not quite the anniversary
of the very hour. day and month in which
she first appeared in Washington as the
star at an opening night In Ford's Old
Opera House. fully two decades ago. Mrs
Langtry made her initial bow for a week
at Chase's yesterday. AS Of yore, Mrs
Langtry's popularity was manifest. The
playlet, Between the Nightfall and the
Light" recites the determination of Arnold
Chalconer to secure IAN eye for an eye. a
tooth for TOOTH or more accurately, to
secure either the wife Of Capt. Beaufoy in
payment for Beaufoys despoiling the Chal-
coner home or else to make Beaufoy pay
the penalty with his life. AS Marjorie
Beaufoy, Mrs. Langtry wildly portrays
the struggle of a loving wife to believe her
husband faithful, the despair when she
finds the accusation true, and then, in the
dim light of morning, the final renuncia-
ton of a proud soul she voluntarily
gives her own life to the avengers bullet.
New songs and new stories was the Of

New National TheatAr

Alice Sikby- the-Fire'' is the quaint and
unusual title of quantity humorous dra-
matte fabric. The critical tape-line and try
square must be discarded as cold-blooded
implements Of trade before the first act is
well under way. To truly enjoy the per-
formance the auditor must allow himself
to be warmed and mellowed into a state
OF absolute quiescence py the disingenuous
charm Of 1t all. Without either hero or
heorine. of the accepted types guiltless of
villain and adventures and bare of stilted
climax or stereotyped comedy, 1t still has
form and substance of distinct quality and
in the hands of Ethel Barrymore and her
capable supporting company is a refreshing
morsel. In theme 1t is characteristic and
Barrie-esque. Its atmosphere is that Of the
roof-tree and the scene of action that
wonderland, the president mind of cary
youth. In the present play Mr.. Barrie gives
further evidence OF his intimate sympathy
with the child intellect, and a delicate and
deft faculty has enabled him to present real
flesh and blood children with many of the
faults of their kind, but withal wholesome
and admirable. There Is also introduced
co3aterally salutary and gently ironical
admonition to parents and a satire on the
conventional society drama. which latter in
hands less skillful might easily run to
burlesque The story is based upon a phase
of Anglo-Indian life, which, fortunately has
no parallel In this country, namely of the
custom of English parents in India Of send
ing their children to England at an early
age to be reared by relatives or servants
The complications and embarrassment at
tendant upon the efforts of such parents
and children to become properly acquainted
and adjusted to each others habits and
modes of thought constitute the basis of
the story.
Miss Barrymore is the young mother Just
returned to her two children. boy and a
girl. whom she has not seen for ten or
twelve years. That she should acqut her
self with credit Is well understood. 1t is a
dramatic triumph. that she can convince
her audience that she is the mother of q
daughter of sixteen years without being
compelled to appear over twenty-three her.
self. Her fine appreciation of the subtle
sarcasm and genial humor of the author is
admirably conveyed in her performance.
The supporting company is capable. Jack
Barrymore. as Stephen Rollo, the innocent
cause of all the trouble. is good second
to the star.
Lillian Reed. as Richardson, a refined type
of Dickens Warehouses, is genuinely HUI
morous, and Bruce McRae In gray hair and

Majestic Theater,

Beulah POINTER in her own dramatization
from the novel of Mary ]. Holmes, pre-
scented Lena Rivers for a weeks en-
gagement at the Majestic last night before
one of the largest and most appreciative
audiences that ever attended this playhouse.
Miss Poynter. who portrays Lena Rivers,
possesses a pleasing stage presence. The
play itself deals with the life Of Lena Riv-
ers. who. at her birth. was left an orphan
by the desertion of her father and the death
of her mother She is raised by Granny
Nichols to childhood. when she is adopted
by her uncle, John Livingstone, and taken
to his home near Frankfort. KY, where
she is finally united to her own father, who
had remarked under assumed name.
Harry Burkhardt. Durwart Belmont;
Ted V. Almond. as Joel Slocum, and Mrs.
Marie Day as Granny Nichols are among
the members of the company.

Columbia Theater.

Mr. r. c. Cartons clever plays have pro-
vided many delightful evenings for Wash
ington playgoers, but probably none has
afforded more genuine entertainment than
Mr.. Hopkinson." his latest piece, which
was performed by Dallas Wexford and a
competent company at the Columbia The
alter last night. Essentially farcical in
theme and treatment the play nevertheless
adroitly satirizes certain elements of Eng
lish fashionable society without resorting
to acrimonious aggressiveness. The prin-
cipal consideration in the story is the cad
dish and penurious Samuel Hopkinsin and
his ludicrouS exploits in attempting to as
cend the social Alps, aided and abetted by
impecunious members of the British aris-
tocracy. Through special act of Provi-
dence, Hopkinson. who has trudged along
close to the earth as clerk in small
store, finds himself suddenly possessed of
immense wealth. He Immediately becomes
ambitious to shine in society, but all his
money and all the tutelage of competent
instructors cannot raise him from his mum
dane plane. Instead Of throwing away the
great riches that have been precipitated
upon him, as do many of the newly rich,
"Hoppy' clings to the parsimonious traits
he acquired as grocer's clerk, and he has
to be pried from every dollar he spends
When about to be married to lady of title
Eliza Dtbbs, young woman of whom
"Hoppy' was enamored before he became
wealthy, appears on the scene and produces
complications most amusing. The lady of
title elopes with another man on the day
set for her wedding with Hopkinson, and
the latter. consistent to the last. consoles
himself by restoring Eliza to her former
place in his affections.
Mr.. Welford's faithful characterization
of "Hoppy" is one of the delights of the
performance. His facial expression aids
him not a little in conveying a full reanza-
ton OF the character impersonated Mr.
Henry Stephenson and Miss Elinor Foster
as the Duke and Duchess Of Braceborough
who believe that every husband and wife
should see each other at least once every
week or two. gave good performances.
