The COIumbia-"The Prince Chap
Cyril Scott. in -The Prince Chap, a
charming little love idyl, began return
engagement In Washington at the Column
bia TheateF last evening. with practically
the same east as when before presented.
The play is dainty little romance,
full of pathos. and With every sentiment
expressed of purest quality. William
Peyton, an American artist. who has gone
10 London in order that he might achieve
fame and fortune, with the ultimate pur-
pose OF returning and marrying Alice
Travers, Is led by his sympathetic DISPOSE
ton TO adopt Claudia, the year-old
daughter of former model. The story
goes on to depict the growth Of his love
for his ward, his estrangement from his
first sweetheart, and finally leads TO the
realization that the feeling which he had
regarded as almost paternai had really
ripened into the love which a man bears
toward the woman he desires for his
wife. The theme is not entirely new IN
the present instance, but is very d8intiy
treated and effectively expressed Il is
The old and ever interesting story re-
peated, and is all the more charming be-
cause in this ease no jarring note is inter-
jected. Charity, good fellowship, and
pure love are all there, and where such
things form the elements surely nothing
but good can be engendered,
Mr. Cyril Scott. as William Peyton. is
the principal character This compar-
atively young actor has every quality
which could possibly contribute toward a
successful future-a handsome and In
tellectual face, good presence, clear, deep
voice. a convincing mode Of expression.
and, above all, sure power Of invoking
pathos- In this simple httle thing he is
certainly interesting. and there is no diff
icult barrier which might prevent him
from attempting something more COM
pick. His stage career has been entirely
progressive since his success In Little

Next IN interest comes Claudia, the
adopted child, as portrayed by three
young ladies, Miss Beryl Pullman. at the
age OF five: Miss Helen Pullman at the
age Of eight, and Miss Emily Ann Well

are dainty and pretty, with, perhaps, the
NEST sympathy going out 10 the young

very poor; but an aunt died, and sud

chatted about old times.
