Miss Katherine BaeIreds work Last
Week Watched with Interest.

week watched with Interest.
Considerable interest was evidenced last
week in the work OF Miss Katherine
Kaelred. who came on to Washington
from New York TO play the leading fem
mime role with James K. Hackett. at the
Columbia, in John Glayde's Honour"
Miss Kaelred is an American girl whose
professional career has been spent en-
tirely abroad. and who. after having won
success in England and Australia, has
come back 70 her native land
Miss Kaelred was born IN Richmond,
Va, but she went 20 England with her
parents at an early age, and was educat-
ed in England. France. and Germany.
She began her professional career at Dun
dee, Scotland, playing shakespearean
roles with the company headed by F. r.
Benson. She then joined the Edward
Compton Comedy Company, OF London.
and played parts In many of the old
fashioned comedies such as BulwerLyt-
tons Money" Caste" and such like.
She left this 10 join the company of Mr..
Cyril Maude In "Everybodys Secret"
after which she secured an engagement
Win the late Sir Henry Irving and after-
ward with Mr.. Forbes-Robertson.
Then she went out TO Australia under
the management of Mr.. ]. c. Williamson.
and she played leading parts in the Lon
don successes, becoming a co-star with
Mr.. Julius knight. She spent two years
in Australia, and has only Just returned
home, so that the part of Mrs. Glayde IN
the Sutro play at the Columbia last week
marked her first appearance on the
American stage. Miss Kaelred Is an
actress Of marked temperamental power
and personal magnetism, and her work
with Mr.. Hackett attracted much atten-
ton and won highly favorable comment.
Her ability as a player has been marked
By more than one prominent New York
manager, and IL Is not at all unlikely
that Miss Kaelred will be starred next
season in New York in a new play that
is being written for her by a well-known
English author.

"Thc Primn nnnnn..


Although Mr. Marion Crawford retains
a firm hold On the affections OF a large
circle Of readers. admirers OF his earlier
works. and especially OF his novels of
Italian life. II must be confessed that the
Marion Crawford OF these days is a much
less fascinating writer than the novelist
or the 'Saracinesca" series. His latest
novel The Prima Donna" while not an
uninteresting story. has few OF those ro-
which placed their author in the very
front rank Of American novelists.
The Prima Donna" Is a sequel 10
previous novel, Fair Margaret" which.
while pleasant enough. was not remark
able either for novelty Of plot or interest.
Indeed, so attenuated was the original
story's interest that it is remarkable that
Mr. Crawford should have thouoat 1t
worth while 10 follow the career Of Mar
garet Cordova through her career as
The Prima Donna
The story opens with a subway explo-
sion IN New York at a time when the
theater where Margaret is singing is
crowded. 1t is a dramatic enough OPEN
ing. for there threatens TO be a panic
until in the darkness-the explosion has
blown out the lights-Margaret' voice
rises calm, beautiful as ever. and stays
the panic fear. The next day the prima
donna sails for England. and thereafter
the story moves slowly along the lines Of
the usual society novel. dealing in a mild
~ interesting way with the affairs OF
MaTgaret's suitors, principal among whom
are Rufus Van Torp. an American. who
Is accused OF having caused the explosion
in his own subway for stock market pur-
poses; Mr.. Feist, barrister, and one
Logotheti, a mysterious Greek.
IL is rather amazing how Mr.. Crawford
has been able TO spread the thinness OF
this courtship through the pages Of a
rather long novel, and II will be doubtful
to many readers whether the end justifes
the labor Of reading f. However. there
is one satisfaction: Margaret marries Van
Ihorp in the end, and so, perhaps. Mr..
Crawford will allow his prima donna TO
have rest and enjoy her new-won happi-
ness without bothering the reading public
any more with her concerns
1t really seems a waste OF time for so
clever literary artist as Mr. Crawford
to waste his time on novels like this.
which dozen men can DO equally as we'll
as he, while as for the class OF work
for which his name is known and loved
there Is no one capable Of doing IL but
himself. and he. II seems. won't. 1t is a
pity. Where is PietrO Ghisleri? And are
