BUILDING BRANCH LINE.
New Railway Facilities to BE Provid-
ed for Virginia suburbanites.

The Washington, Arlington and Falls
Church Railway Company is building .
branch road from its main line at Claren-
don to the new Highway bridge. About
one-quarter of q mile of track has already
been la4d. and the work is being pushed
with vigor. The company expects to be op-
Grating cars over the new route before the
beginning Of the fiscal year
Arrangements for transfer of passengers
from the line OF the Washington. Alexan-
drfa and Mount Vernon Railway Company
to the former company's line have been ia
yorably considered. and by these means,
when the branch road is completed. the
public will be offered a new route to Ar
lington and Fort Myer. Passengers will be
able to board car at 18th street and Penn
sylvania avenue northwest, and with one
transfer reach the places named, or any
other point along the line of the Falls
Church road. This addition will also afford
many Virginia suburbanites the advantage
of being brought to the heart of the city
without delay. and avoiding the inconve-
mence of crossing the Aqueduct bridge
afoot to reach the car lines which traverse
the business center of the city.

New National Theater.

Sam Bernard, assisted by Hattie Will
liams and clever company, opened for
weeks stay at the National Theater last
night, presenting Sydney Rosenfeld's mu-
steal play. The Rollicking Girl The
show affords excellent entertainment from
the rise to the final fall of the curtain, and
in addition to Sam Bernards ludicrous
"Germanisms' there are offered a number
of catchy new songs and no end of we'll
executed dances. An exceptionally good
looking chorus in handsome costumes
lends enchantment to the view.
Expressed In a few lines, the plot hinges
upon a lovers quarrel and the flight OF
nona Hattie Williams), the bride-to-be, to
Vierna, where she rises to sudden fame as
the star in the Royal Theater. Through
out her viciSSftudes and triumphS she is
ably championed by Schmaltz, the Viennese
wignaker otherwise Sam Bernard, and by
Lena, wife of Schmaltz tVinie Daly). In
tho last scene the erstwhile stellar lumi-
nary has returned to her home and ap-

Belasco Theater.

One of the breeziest farces that has blown
into Washington in long time is Leo
Ditrichstein's Before and After" which
was presented at the Belasco Theater last
night and was greeted with enthusiastic
approval. The piece abounds in hilariously
amusing situations. which develop so rap
idly that the auditor scarcely has time to
catch his breath between laughs. There
are number of character parts excellently
drawn and effectively impersonated, In fact,
the company throughout is uniformly capa-
bic. The long chain of farcfcal ~complica-
tons is started by the administration of a
new patent medicine to prominent phy-
sician specialist in nervous diseases. This
preparation has wonderful properties caus-
ing persons of usually sedate dispositions
to change almost Immediately into most eX-
uberant beings possessed of decidedly az
fectionate temperaments and inclined to do
foolish things. This enchanted powder Is
much in evidence throughout the action of
the piece.
Fritz Williams gave a highly amusing
performance of the role of DIR. Page, the
nerve specialist, who gets into all sorts of
trouble by kissing the wife of a French
man while under the Influence of the patent
medicine. The part of Colonel Larivette
the Frenchman, is portrayed most credita-
bly, by Mr. Ditrichstein, author of the play.
One of the distinctive character roles is
that essayed by George G. Boniface, jr..
who made hit with his humorous delin-
cation Miss George Lawrence, who was
remembered for ner former clever work
here In female character roles, was seen In
a part that permitted the exercise of her
comedy abilities. In the role of Mrs. Page,
Katherine Florence was charming and
natural John Daily Murphy, John Flood,
Kenyon Bishop and Jean Newcombe gave
interesting performances.
Preceding the performance of Before and
After" Mr.. Ditrchstein was seen in an
entertaining whimsicality. entitled Moe
turno," written by himself and Percival
Pollard Mr.. Ditrichstein had the role of
a gentlemanly burglar who has a fondness
for fine paintings and other works of art.
Jean Newcombe and Minnette Barrett en-
acted interesting characters in this sketch.
