Two Old Plays Win Favor.
Two ume-tried plays did excellent
business IN Washington last week, In
spite Of the fact that neither The Vir-
gilman" nor The Lion and the Mouse"
returned TO the Capital with as strong
a cast as when presented here last year.
w. 5. Hart, as the hero in the owen
Wister story, would in ali probability
nave been highly pleasing had not Dus-
tin Farnum first given Us d Vtrginian
full Of rOmanctic charm and strength.
Mr.. Hart is a conscientious, painstak-
ing actor, but he has not the personal
magnetism OF Mr.. Farnum. After all.
Frank Campeau's 'Trampas' is SUI
ficiently artistic to be worthy the pa
trOnage of any theatergOeT.
In The Lion and the Mouse" Edmund
Breese again delighted his audiences
with a forceful. artistic Interpretation Of
the role OF Ready Money Ryder. TIE
only new face OF note in the cast this
year is Miss Gertrude Coghlan. who has
charming stage presence, which In
way served to counteTact the deCid-
f.a1s e1 in
the first act.
The first part OF Mr. Klein's play is
weak enough as 1t is. and when It is
talked through" after the style Of Miss
Coghlan, It becomes hopeless. Consider
able Improvement IS noted in Miss
Coghlan's work in the second act, but
in the climax Of the third she deserves
censure for a superabundance of ex-
pIoslve dramatic force. This energy
should be more evenly distributed A
little Of It would help nightly IN the
first act
Miss Harmed Unfortunate.
Miss Virginia Harmed has again been
unfortunate in her choice Of a play for
the exploitation of her special talents.
Inc Impulse was " SOY AESLA lGLEu III
ents, but this would hardly be fair, al
though Miss Harmed has given the pub
lie nothing but plays OF unsavory ilk
so long that one begins to think of her
only IN such moribund productions as
Anna Karenina."
ToIstoy dramatized It at best unsaHs-
factory. The admirers Of the wonderful
power OF the Russian novelist must al
ways be more or less disappointed when
they see a play which cannot give all
the shades Of characterization and the
philosophy which make that writer's
work distinctive.
In the particular case Of Anna
karenina" as presented here. the work
Of John Mason, the properties and the
weeping capacity OF the star. were
about the only noteworthy features.
