Lola from Berlin.

That the play is the thing" and that
the success does not come in unequivocai
terms 70 mere stellar attractiveness has
been again exemplihed in the career OF
Lola from Berlin" the production
which was received so well at the Ma
tional Theater last week, ending its brief
history on the stage with Saturdays
performance.
The joint popularity and talents Of Miss
Lulu Glaser and her husband. Mr.. Herr.
could not hold the thing together. And
why? Because there was not enough ia
tcrestins quality in the vehicle To form
complete evenings amusement, and
there was nothing for a subordinate COM
pany. however capable to do. and il
became necessary for the principals TO
remain on the stage all the time, which
was manifestly impossible
The rise Of Miss Glaser has been rapid.
and she certainly possesses the power of
appealing to the risibilities to an unusual
degree. With such a talent. even though
its exploration is restricted to the con-
fines OF certain class of character. and
augmented by association with Mr. Herr,
an actor OF remarkably interesting cal
lber. IL seems strange that she does
not, from business motives, irrespective
OF professional aspirations seek TO pro-
vide herself with some play suitable TO
their joint stellar power, with basic in
tereSt enough and material enough TO
provide employment 20 a list Of capable

Few good singers, hide many defects In
the comedy in musical comedy, but Lola
from BeTlin was not musical comedy:
u was almost a plain comedy, and II be-
came necessary to depend on the humor-
Gus qualities OF the play as interpreted by
the players. The play failed to interpret
because there was nothing to interpret.
hence the fault did not accrue to them.
and narrows down 20 the vehicle
Notwithstanding these defects, II was
hardly possible for any one TO miss enjoy
ment in the production as a whole. The
comedy Of Miss Glaser is refreshing. and
her singing is markedly superior 10 the
ordinary run of light effort in these days.

Smart Frocks for Anna Held { rs.

The chorus girl has her real oppor-
tunity in the Anna Held company. In
Miss Held's costumes in The Partisan
Model" this year Paris modistes have
succeeded in exaggeratng every conceit
in fashion and in heralding a season Of
the most daring novelties.
There are colors of fur and lace, satin
shoes and silver heels studded with dia-
monds and rubies, set in the form OF
stars; petite chamber slippers Of black
satin with heels of aluminium. set with
sapphires and diamonds. The climax OF
eccentricity has been reached in coTsets
Of rose pink lace, lined with pale rose
silk Each hook IN the front fastens
under ruby. and the corsage is tipped
with two or three pink roses in a chou

peared in Washington in the play at the
National Theater on February l9. 1872.
when IL was announced as written by
himself and acted by him over $3.50 times
in Europe and America" In the mean
time, of course. Sothern had been at
work on the piece and had made It Pc
culiarly his own. It is curious TO note
the dramatic criticism OF that day as il
appeared in the Washington Chronicle.
II said:

the stage Of the National last evening the IA

Cousin" presented by Air. Sothern. is somewhat
altered from the original arrangement. promoting
into added Importance and notice the participation
Of Lord Dundreary in the several scenes and intro

play the interest Of the audience was absorbed BY
the remarkably sustained Characterization OF Lo.d

their genuine amusement The center and
chief attraction was the nonchalant unqualifedly
stold. unimpressibly good-natured, and altogether
peculiar Lord DundresrS. The drawl. the tripping
step. the extravsgant dress did not make up the
character as formerly. but every movement. every
glance Of the eye the studied expression Of every
thought slowly evolved, contributed 20 a strange
Individuality Nothing ever better sustained
nothing ever more thoroughly assumed and ftly
acted than so,hem's Dundrtary. The scene Of the
night ALARM the solilocuy. admirable. The
public will undoubtedly continue 10 prove their ap
probation Of the American Cousin by fu houses
Mr.. saTille with advantageous results suppressed
the nuisance Of the rude occupants Of the upper
gallery, who SO often Of late created confusion b.
loud talking ami inappropriate laughing.
In 1874 Mr., Sothern returned with the
play TO Ford's Opera House. at which
time a benefit was I'm progress at the
National Theater for the manager, ]. G.
Saville. For this benefit Mr.. Sothern paid
800 for a box. which box was afterward
reSold, this time for the use of the Presi-
dent Of the United States and his party.
II was in January. 1880. that the elder
SOthern was last seen in Washington IN
the play at which time the National
Republican wound up its critique thus:
Mr.. SOthern is an excellent low come
dian and thoroughly au fait in every
thing that makes such a one successful.
He was warmly received by the audi
ence and proved that, like good wine, he
grows better with age. The ladies of the
company are all handsome. stylish. dress
elegantly. and act weH. and the gentle
men, especially Mr.. Blakely. who repre-
sented Binnet. have fair claims TO public
consideration"
