Ezra Kendall, of monologue fame, Is
again appearing as the star in a FULL
hedged play Of three acts entitled Swell
Elegant Jones'" AS presented at the Co.
lumbia Theater last evening the Offering
proved laugh provoker. Mr.. Kendall
seemed not quite himself at the outset, so
far as appearance Is concerned, but during
the second and third acts he wore the ia
miliar high hat Of monologue days, and in
consequence was forthwith on social terms
with the audience. The production may be
termed monologue expanded into a COM
edy, with dash Of drama for seasoning
The play opens with Mr.. Kendall as Tim
Jones. a millionaire mine owner, who lavish
ly bestoWs tips Of fve-dollar gold pieces
on hotel porters and belIboys He has had
a misunderstanding with his wife, as the
result Of the Vaccinations of a rascally
individual. who desires to secure for Mrs.
Jones divorce and then wed her in order
to obtain control Of a fortune of which she
is the prospective heiress. He has the as
sistance of female detective. BY reason
of the failure of the mine, Swell Elegant
Jones Is rendered practically penniless, and
apparently everything else goes wrong with
him until toward the end Of the final act
when luck changes, the villain is thwarted,
Jones and his wife are reunited and all just
sort of naturally ends happily The con-
clusion of the second act affords Mr.. Ken
dali an opportunity to say things all by
himself, and he does SO in his humorous
manner. The company includes several
to be Indigenous to a village in Indiana
Swell Elegant Jones' is brimful of mirth
has very little that might be construed as
depressing, and affords Mr.. Kendall salts
factory means to indulge in his quaint and
peculiar humor for the amusement Of
others,

THE TIL EAT E R.
New National,

Last nights audience at the New National
Theater bore witness to the fact that
| "Sapho' is still powerful to shock, to as
| tonish, to dazzle. The character is a type
| that is made known to American eyes only
| through fiction. Sapho has the interest Of
| the exotic. The fascination Of artist life
| cannot be transported. Tawdry and insin-
cere as the Bohemian existence may be in
| the Latin quarter, transplanted to this
hemisphere it becomes cheap and insufrera-
Bile; a poor imitation, unvitalized by either
custom or temperament.
fet the American audience Is capable Of
| close sympathetic appreciation Of Sapho,
a Zaza or q Camille. The note of human
nature. II 1t rings true, awakens vibrations
| ries.
The play needs no discussion at this time
| IL mas been applauded: 1t has been worse

and dragged through the sensa tional press

the one hand. and on the other heralded
Win every mark of respect which legitimate
lame can bestOw.
One thing is certain, whatever may be the
harshness with which certain ideas are
presented, there Is in Daudets story a hui
man intensity and a poetic method Of ex-
preston whose luster shines out with I'M
quenchable brilliancy through every act Of
the play.
Miss Nethersole's portrayal, which con-
ance, Is frank and unhesitating express
sion or temperament independent OF social
restraint, ethics or moral reasoning 1t Is
sheer emot1onalfsm: a revelation of the SEN
suous in life, yet not wholly sensual. The
struggle of ideals for survival against
physical restraints and errors constitutes
reminder of the good that exists in hui
less.
FINE stage management to a great degree
makes up for lack of any remarkable in
dlvidual efficiency in the supporting cast.
MISS Nethersoles performance is, it is
scarcely needful to say, one of Irresistible
power. She realizes both the personality
ana the mentality Of the role she assumes.

Plans for New Bathing Beach.

The government fish ponds, In rear of
the White House, with their picturesque
surroundings. will soon be converted into
public bathing beach, as announced in
The Star several weeks ago. The transfer
of the ponds to the District was made by
Secretary Taft, recently, and Col Charles
S. Bromwell. superintendent Of public
buildings and grounds, states that the
necessary papers Of transfer will be exc
cuted at once.
Commissioner West, who is taking an
ing beach, says he hopes to have the beach
ready for use by the beginning of the
bathing season. 1t is believed the thou
sands of fishes that now disport them
selves in the ponds will be released into
the Potomac. Among these are many gold
fishes. Such will probably be transferred
to the exhibition room of the fish commits

Majestic.

Kathryn Purnell and her company in
Goethe's dramatic version Of Faust were
met with enthusiasm and hearty applause
which bids fair to establish the star in an
all-summer engagement. Yesterday began
the third week of the company's season.
The play is an excellent vehicle for Miss
Purnell's ability as portrayer of emotion.
AS the innocent peasant girl and afterward
as the tortured, imprisoned soul, the
wrecked intellect giving vent to incoherent
cries and fancies, she showed remarkable
versatility.
Edwin Abbey as Mephisto played with
energy and understanding and pleased the
audience throughout the performance Faust

full-grown lion. The sun was not strong,
and he was very. very lazily Ticking his
tail from side to side. He had short

red in the weak sunlight.
My first sensation was one Of aston
ishment, profound amazement and delight
at seeing such fine beast. He was a
beauty, and 1t seemed impossible to realize
that he was really wild as he lay on his
side, looking at me with his head raised
as dog does when he hears his masters

coated and glossy.
