Elmendorf Lecture.

southern Italy, was the subject Of the
last lecture Of the seasons course given by
Dwight Elmendorf at the National The
alter yesterday afternoon, and it was con-
coded by many who have attended the
fine lectures to be the best of the series.
The lecture opened with scenes in the city
Of Rome, showing number of wonderful
views Of the famous ST. Peters Church.
From Rome the lecturer drifted to Naples,
where artistic treasures were shown. Pos
sibly the most interesting of the pictures
were the views of Mt. Vesusius, which were
taken just after the last eruption. Other
places touched by the lecturer were Sor-
rento, with It's exquisite driveways; SalernQ,
the great temple of Neptune, and the quaint
city of Anacaprf. Mr.. Elmendorf concluded
with a wonderful picture of the famous
"Bue GFOtto."

The National Theater.

2, FRITZ Scheff at the National last even
ing Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, sang to a house of the standing
room-only proportions This is an evidence
of the success of Mile Modiste." Last
nights performance was a social event.
The opera, indeed, offers attractions Of
charming scenes, costumes, the utmost va
riety in the libretto fascinating solos and
choruses and, with the unusual beauty Of
the stars voice and her distinct individu-
atty as an actress, has more than the
requisite allotment of interests of the nor
NAL successes. From the songless part of
the American millionaire, to whom, how
ever. is given the best Of the telling lines
and droll humor of the comedy, to grand
opera arias of the little Fiji, there are
many kinds of music and comedy. Re-
markably clever and tuneful Mile Mo-
diste' is at the same time unique in its
freedom from the banalities Of the usual
opera-farce and attains distinction by the
excellence of the special numbers. The lit
tie modesto whose genius as saleslady
makes her marriage to the artistic spend
thrift-son of the proprietress of the shop
business desideratum, also has that quail
ity in her which attracts not only the
nephew Of the Comte de st. Mar, but the
benevolent attention of the moneyed pro-
moter. That quality of slender piquancy
and saucy sweetness, ambition and SINGER
ity, when the money is repaid that has
given her the chance to become great
artist enables her to triumph over the an
tagonism of the Comte and win her loving
Etienne. The plot is cleverly managed to
give the cantatrice fitting opportunities to
display her voice. FRITZ Scheff improves
every occasion and captures all the musi-
clans with the range. color and quality Of
her vocal pyrotechnics, and all the re-
mainder of her audience with her variety
as coincidence. Last evening at the
close Of her drum solo, she was presented
with an immense Teddy-bear of white i'm
morteles, also carrying a drum.

T. He THEAT E r.
Belasco Theater.

The picture Of college life, with its at
mosphere of youthful animation and ex-
uberance, presented by Henry Woodruff
and company In Brown of Harvard at
the Belasco. Theater last night. doubtless
recalled to many of the auditors host of
delightful experiences in their own univer-
sity careers. 1t is to the credit Of the
woman author of the play, Rida Johnson
Young, that she should be able to depict
SO faithfully the happy, careless existence
that has come to be typical of the Ameri-
can young man in the larger educational
institutions of the country. The piece fairly
teens with clever lines and amusing sit
uations and the spirit of youthful frankness
and manliness makes itself felt throughout
the action, although in the plot there are
suggested some of the darker shades of
life. In it's presentation the comedy has
the advantage of capable cast. Mr..
Woodruff as Tom Brown. has part that
Is particularly suited to his personality.
and his characterization added to his popu-
larity among the large audience. He makes
an ideal college boy, whose warm heart and
generosity involve him in all sorts of COM
plications, from which his loyalty to his
friends and his chivalry will not permit MIN
to extricate himself at the expense OF
others With the confidence OF youth ne
merely declares his innocence Of any
,wrong-doing and requires his friends to be-
Heve in him without explanations, notwtth-
standing circumstances point against him:
Albert Berry gave a splendid portrayal OF
Gerald Thorne, the poor but proud student,
who entertains a lively dislike for the sons
Of wealth; and Theodore Friebus, who was
formerly Washington boy, creditably
handled the role OF Cotton, the crooked
sport. w. Scott Daily, Rex. Stovel. Arthur
Shaw and William Resell contributed to the
success of the performance as chums of
Brown. Katherine Mulkins was a petite
and pleasing heroine, and Lolita Robertson
made the most of her opportunities as the
sister Of Thorne. who becomes involved IN
love affair with Wilfred Kenyon, weak.
dissipated student, capably portrayed by J.
Heron Miller. A bit of amusing character
work was the impersonation of OHara by
Frank Willard. The boat race scene In the
third act, where Brown takes the place OF
Thorne, the stroke oar, and helps win the
race, Is a dramatic and effective climax
and aroused an abundance of enthusiastic
response from the audience. An interest
ing feature of the performance is the sing
ing of college songs by the male chorus
during the second act.
