THE THEATE R.
"The Maneuvers Of Jane"

Beginning next Monday evening. June II,
the Columbia Theater Company will present
THE Maneuvers of Jane" by Henry Arthur
Jones. author of THE Liars" THE Mas
queraders," The Middleman' and other
successful plays, with Miss Hilda Spong
and Miss Charlotte Walker in the principal
feminine roles. Few comedies have won
more instantaneous approval than 1.-The
Maneuvers Of Jane" when originally pro-
duced by Daniel Frohman's comedians at
Days Theater, New York, in 1899, and the
play needs little comment. as it made de-
cidedly favorable impression when the
Frohman company presented it here first
in May. 1900. and again in the following
December with Miss Spong, then a member
of the DAILY Theater Company, in the latter
production.
1t is a comedy of bright dialogue and
quaint characters. James "maneuvers" are
caused by her fathers desire to marry her
to a rich little fool nobleman. whom she
despises. The laughter excited by the
humorous incidents arising from her
schemes to foil her fathers wishes Is merry
and incessant. while there is no moment Of
relief to it's comedy from the first going up
of the curtain. The box office sale opens
tomorrow, with no departure from the usual
prices.

"H. M 8 Pinafore -

The selection for next weeks presenta-

New National Theater is made in Difference
to the pleasure of ladies and children. III.
M. S. Pinafore," regarded as one of the
most successful comic operas ever written,
is strictly the idol of a former generation,
and has not been presented by many COM
panies of standing during the past decade.
Therefore, to the little men and women"
of today it is a brand-new comic opera,
and the enjoyment that was their fathers
and mothers years ago in this delightful
composition is still in store for them. Its
simplicity and clean, wholesome humor
are additional qualities that make it appeal
to the little ones. Indeed, it has been SO
thoroughly identified as a children's opera
that it has been revived, time and again,
by various juvenile opera companies, with
signal success.
The other half of next weeks bill is
taken up with Mascagni's masterpiece,
"Cavalleria Rusticana," one of the short
popular, of the grand operas. The COM
bnation of these two operas next week
will form an admirable matinee bill for
ladies and children, with just enough of
and plenty of popular, catchy melodies and
enjoyable comedy for those who like their
entertainment in a lighter vein.
The usual list of favoriteS in the Aborn
coterie will be cast for appreciative roles.
including Robert Lett as Sir Joseph Por-
ter, whimsical character, in which this
clever comedian will be in his element;
Karl Stall as the captain, Huntington May
as Dick Deadeye, and others. A number
of comic opera notables will also be added
to fill out the big double cast including
Harold Blake. formerly of the Bostonians:
Emile Gardner, late prima donna with
"Piff, Paff, Pouff;" Joseph Fredericks. the
famous grand opera tenor. and Marie Hor-
gan, the well-known character Coincidence.

TELLS PATHETIC STORY.
Fifteen Lad Puts Up a Fake
Tale of Woe

Relating a most pathetic tale, a boy who
said he was Joseph Henderson, fifteen
years old, of Baltimore, Nd, appealed to
the proprietor Of local department store
today for work. The boy was well-dressed
and appeared to be a bright, intelligent
youth, but, according to his own story, his
life was one of misfortunes. He stated
that his mother had died very suddenly a
few weeks ago, and that his father died
because Of grief for his mother two weeks
later. That left him an orphan, he said,
and he came to Washington to see. work.
The lad was sent to Miss Estelle Foster,
agent of the board of children's guardians,
to whom he related the same story. He
was escorted to the Working Boys Home
until something for him to do could be
found.
Meanwhile the Baltimore police were
communicated with, and Inspector Board
man was informed that the boy had run
away from home and that his parents are
very much alive and are worrying over his
disappearance. The mother promised to
come here to take charge of him, but when
the manager of the home to which the boy
had been sent was communicated with, it
was found that the boy had cut" the hos
pitality and escaped. He is being looked
for by the police.
