Belasco Theater.

Mrs. Leslie Carter will appear at the Be-
lasco Theatsr tomorrow night. For over
200 nights Mrs Carter appeared at the
Belasco Theater in New York, where
'Adrea" exceeded in the length OF it's run
that of any other modern tragedy ever
given in this country. This Play possesses
special interest to Washingtonians, as it
was given its first performance at Conven-
ton Hall here last season No actress who
visits this city has a larger personal fol-
lowing. She has appeared here each year,
giving her first performances of new plays,
until Washington has grown to claim her
as its own. Mrs Carter will play "Adrea"
for the first three nights of her coming
engagement While "Adrea' is not an his
trical tragedy, being purely fictitious in it's
personaEes and its mise-en- scene, it still is
set IN period so picturesque, so Tich in
great events, so varied and intense in the
human passions that mark Ii, that it gives
another of the rare opportunities for dra-
matte and pictorial effects, for which M.
Belasco is celebrated. The time of the
play is about the year 500 A. D. With the
stage facilities of the Belasco Theater, the
production of "Adrea" will be seen to far
better advantage than 1t was at Conven-
ton Hall last year. For the last three
nights and Saturday matinee Mrs Carter
