Without doubt he is one of the cleverest

In a long time. To many in the audience
Powers suffered by the comparison. for
Leslie was original and very funny at
all times. without OVERRIDING his work.
Jessie Bradbury shared the honors with
the two leaders. AS the Cockney Car
menita she was immense, while her
beautiful voice asserted itself time and
again in spite of her role. H. w. Ire
Denick, as Prof Tamarind the school
teacher and afterward ardent adorer of

was not only keenly attentive to his OPP

BelaSco.

Any doubts that Miss Charlotte Walker
may have had as to the measure of her
popularity in Washington were set at
rest last night for keeps for the initial
appearance of this accomplished and pop
uar actress in Arthur Laws up-to-date
comedy of fashionable English life. "A
Country Mouse. was greeted by a nu-
merically large and individually enthusi-
astic audience. Twas in this play that
Ethel Barrymore added greatly TO her
reputation. the role requiring an intelli-
gent. consistent and artistic interpreted
tion in order to convey its proper mean
ing beyond the footlights. Last evening
Miss Walkers work was all this and
more. and the enthusiastic demonstrations
of approval that greeted her at frequent
intervals throughout the evening were
merited and deserved.

Willard Robertson as the Duke of ST.
kits, Ralph kellard as Lord Robert
Wyckham. Miss Earren in a character
