New National Theater.

A new musical comedy, "Mamselle Sal
he," by Robert B. Smith and Raymond
Hubbell, attracted large audience to the
National Theater last night. The produc-
tons chief claim to the interest of theater-
goers probably lies in the fact that it pre-
sents pair of decidedly clever little fun
makers, Katie Barry and John Slavin
These two principals are supported by a
numerous company including a particular
ly large chorus that sings and dances with
more than customary vigor and spirit.
From a musical standpoint the ensembles
merited the greatest share of praise,
although there was one number in which
selections from several classic composers
were introduced that finally woke up the
contributed no small share to the pleasing
features Of "Mamselle Salie" The elab-
crate costumes and the beautiful scenic eff
fects are worthy of brighter book and
more pretentious music Miss Barry has
the title role, and while she is handica pped
by rather commonplace songs yet she sue
ceeded In maintaining her personal popular
ty with the audience by her dancing and
her comedy work. Most Of the bright lines
and humorous quipS are allotted to Mr..
Slavin, in the role of Jonathan Joy, the
diminutive English lawyer who Is not hon
est enough to permit it to interfere with his
business. His appearance on the stage was
always the signal for laugh. due principal
ly to his characteristic methods of arousing
mirth, and to his eccentric dancing. VIM.

ried off the individual vocal honors of the
performance. Others. prominent in the cast
were George E. Mack, as an eccentric pro-
Niven. Sydney de Grey and Jack Hender-
son.

Columbia Theater.

Raymond Hitchcock Is one Of the agree
able personalities Of the stage. whose man
ner Of handling q role Is likely to be more
Of a consideration than the role itself. This
is the case with 1.-THE Galloper," comedy
in which Mr.. Richard Harding Davis has
managed to weld together, by means of
some exceedingly clever conversation and
several sprightly episodes. elements OF farce
and melodrama which at first glance would
seem wholly Incompatible. Mr.. Davis. with
a perhaps pardonable personal pride, cele-
brates the war correspondent as hero
without fear and irreproachable. But in
spite OF tie heroics, Mr.. Hitchcock man
ages to keep the role close enough to earth
Tor CHEEKY and oompanionable acquaintance
His drolleries are irresistible, yet not in
congruous. In his most obsurd moments
he is strictly in character.
The story starts with the mistaken iden-
tity that Is almost Indispensable in comedy
into terrific battle scene as the conclud-
Ing event Of the varied program. Its suit
ability to the purposes of Mr.. Hitchcock
was demonstrated by the fact that the audi
sentiment or the melodrama. And humor
there is in abundance. The star does not
allow himself to be tempted for a moment
to assume the conventional matinee poses
though free from bunoonery, bids for
laughs with constant and consistent frank
ness and Is abundantly rewarded. His cur
tain speech is gem Of drollery. No audi
ence should fail to give him an opportunity
to make 1t.
The play is well presented. The people
are human. everyday types, with the ex-
ception, perhaps, of a rather ferocious
Turkish general who. although unheard Of
in the first two acts, Is the dominant guam
tity in the little independent drama which
constituted the third. Pauline Anthony. the
Red Cross nurse, is reliable heroine
In the military drama Miss George
Lawrence had another of lnose positive
characters with which she has been so
amusingy identified in the past. Susie For

portraiture of a sentimental heavy weight.

PREACHERS PERSONALITY.
Address by DR.. Thirkield at Meeting
Of Ministers Yesterday.

DIR. w. P. Thirkield. president Of How
ard University, presented paper before
the Methodist Ministers Association OF the
District yesterday in the Young Mems
Christian Association building on the topic,
1.-The Personality and Message Of the
Preacher"
The speaker said, in part:
"A luminous personality with a message
Of life is my ideal for the preacher. What
nobler conception Of the preacher than that
requiring personality luminous with the
life of God, holding the word and minis
try Of God? The preacher Of power must
be preacher Of God; the atmosphere Of
strength must be his native air.
This ideal impresses also the message OF
life in and through his personality. We
have PauIs word for it: Among whom We
the word of life.' The purposes Of mental
discipline and spiritual culture of the
preacher are that he may gain master
full hold of the word that he Is to hold
forth to men.
"One of the perils of the preacher is that
he may get merely the word of personal
culture or mere system Of ethics-a word
of morals. Such one goes merely into the
eth and SO he holds forth in his preach
ing merely a word of ethics. He should
not hold the word merely for the sake
of the church. We are not priests, we are
This message of the preacher is not
simply word Of dogma. Many congre-
cation has been starved to death on dog
matte preaching that holds forth to them
bones when they hunger for bread-the
bread of life.
Nor should a preacher hold the word
for the sake of itself. The Bible is not
an end in itself More than Christ and be-
yond the spirit is the Bible. 1t is the final
end. There is nothing mystic about it.
He forgets Christ's rebuke. 'Ye search the
Scriptures because in them we think we
have eternal life Though you have all
theology, culture and ethics and knowl-
edge of the word. so long as you do not
hold these simply as a means to an end.
and that end the holding forth of the word
of life to dying men, your preaching will
be as sounding brass and a clanking GYM
BAL
THE end of preaching Is life. Life in
God through Jesus ChriSt-life grounded in
truth, in sanction of law, inspired by feel
ing and sent forth in activity-life intelli-
gent. ethical, immortal active personal, life
