1.-The Modern Lady Godiva.

No play of recent years has aroused more
animated interest than Tine Modern Lady
Godiva," which will bring Amelia Bingham
and her clever company, headed by w l..
Abingdon and John E. Kellerd to the Co
lumbia Theater next week. Sensational in
subject, daring in treatment and uncom-
promising IN dialogue, this drama contains
elements which awaken public curiosity,
and the latter is fully satisfied by the
actualistic manner in which 1t Is presented
under Miss Bingham's direction. The
handling of the dramatic material by the
authors, Frederick F. Schrader and Lloyd
M Bingham, is ultra modern, they keeping
close pace with the present day tendency
toward realism. AS may be ina .sined from
the title, there are points of resemblance
between the leading parsonage in the play
and the celebrated eleventh century heroine
of Coventry. She poses nude for a painting
of Lady Godiva after her famous ride
Coventry and all England proclaimed the
glory of the city's henefactor, but the action
of Lady Mary Fulton in the play Is mis-
understood even by her husband and it is
this misjudgment of her motive which
furnishes the warp and wool of the drama
Miss Bingham has never been better
suited with role than that of Lady Full
ton. The character has its light moments
and-ltS periods of storm and stress, and
demands throughout charm of manner and
warmth of personality. Miss Bingham thus
Is called upon to be a Coincidence and
to express great emotion, both of which
her wide range helps her to do with
scarcely an effort. No stronger company
has ever supported Miss Bingham than
which she brings with The Modern Lady
Godiva.' Besides Messrs lallerd and
Abingdon It includes Frank Hollins Hugh
Cameron, ]. Gordon Edwards, Oscar Gray
Briggs, Percy Challenger, Joseph Mann
Jane Gordon. Adeede Wesley Caroline
NeWcpmb and many others

"The Silver Girl"

Mr.. William 7. Devan, with Frank Nc
Kee and George Fawcett, representing the
new play by Edward Pep!e, author of The
Prince Chap announces this production at
the New National Theater the week be-
ginning September 30. Rehearsals of The
Silver Girl are now in progress at the
Savoy Theater in New York. The engage
ment here promises to be the event of the
season. The Silver Girl is not an effem-
mate creature with lustrous eyes. but is
the name of mine in the far west. The
plot is not of the gun-drawing western
order. and all the acts save one take place
in New York city. The final act is en-
acted at the Silver Girl mine in Nevada.
The characters are western, but the enVi.
ronments are all eastern.
The cast is very strong, including George
Fawcett who will be remembered here for
many years in stock, and lately as Phelan
in The Man OF the Hour in the long
New York run: Mr.. George Nash, Norman
Tharp. Charles Warren, Edwin Micauder
and Harry Lilford, all weil-known people
The ladies in the cast are headed by Miss
Jane Oaker, Miss Lillian Albertson and
Miss Consuela Bailey.
1t is predicted that Mr.. Peple has writ
ten a greater play in The Silver Girl
than The Prince Chap"

A Meditation Room Needed.

To the Editor Of The Star
The Freedmens Hospital is nearing COM
pletion. There Is much prideful rejoicing as
to its COMPREHENSIVE operating room the
this that and the other are all perfect and
modern, but unless / mistake one impor-
tant room has been cmtted-a room asked
for two years ago when this work of build
ing was beginning. At that time some of
the nurses and many of the patients re-
quested me to ask for some little room,
described by some a meditation room, by
others it was called a chapel. Ny request
seemed to be ignored. Why 1t does not
appeal to all thoughtful persons Is q mys-
terry.
Patients In the public wards" have no
place for quiet meditation and prayer. In
cases of extremity. known to doctors and
nurses, the ceremony Of a small screen Is
placed about the bed. For the rest. there
is the long open room with some talking,
some grooming, others laughing. Sharp
eyed doctors and nurses are coming and
going and disturbing patients at all times.
Those who have control Of this building
should imagine themselves for a moment in
operation. You cannot know what the
result will be. Or you are waiting
through a slow convalescence for the day
when you must go out and face stern life
again. You are weary of people and the
constant Interruptions. You long for a few
moments in quiet place where you can be
undisturbed to pray and think and COM
pose your mind.
There Ia no reason why such "medita-
ton room" cannot be provided In this new
and modern hospital All the people ask
is room containing a few chairs or
benches. a Bible on a gable, and most of
all the right to go 10 tJat room for few
minutes alone to think. to remember. to
pray.
Why cannot this poor, pitiful little re-
quest be needed and granted. Do not the
medical staff remainder and know that
there could be no better preparation for
an operation or for the advancement of
health than a quiet corner for the repose
of the troubled mind? OF course the room
can be embellished to the limit of ones
imagination, If the fairy godmother will
furnish the magic pumpkins, but all that
In really necessary can be easily provided.
