is this said to be true amid modern SO

elements Miss Bates new play, THE
Fighting Hope" is built.
The admiration Of Washington play

regard for Miss Bates appears 10 be no,
only professional. but personal. In
measure she has seemed to belong to us
for it cannot be denied that the Capt"
has played d large and important pa
in her brilliant career. From the DAYS

subsequent unbroken line of artistic tri

Washington has been the first in amos
every instance to whisper cncouragenca-
in her ear and to start her on the high
way to further success.
Remembering the long line of Bela&ao
trumphs The Heart of MARYLAND,
Taxa ''Du Barry" The Darling ot
the Gods, Sweet Kitty Bellairs" and
"Adrea. all OF which first saw the light
of the stage in this city, the premiere Of
''The Fighting Hope" next Monday is
awaited with expectancy.
THE Fighting Hope described as
play of today, enlistS only four players
besides Miss Bates herself. The cast will
include Mr. Charles Richman, Mr.. John
W. Cope. Mr.. Howell Hansel and Miss
Loretta Wells. Only one scene, showing
the library OF Il beautiful house on the
Hudson. near OSsining, runs through the
entire three acts. The story of The

Tomorrow night will find the theatrica
season for 12oS-o9 fairly under way. and
the opening is suspicious perhaps in two
respects. First. it brings the popular
actress Blanche Bates. with whose past
successes Washington audiences have had
much to do. in a new play offered by
David Belasco for it's premiere. Secondly.
it presents in that play, as in the new
production which Nannette Comstock,
also a Washington favorite. brings with
her to the Columbia, the offering of an
American author and playwright.
The time was. and not so long ago.
when it was supposed the dramatisj as
well as the theatrical manager had 10
reach out into foreign cline to find a
fit subject for dramatic presentation. just
as it is the custom to lay fairy tales in a
time and place with which few that read
or listen to them are familiar
Both playwright and manager could See
in other lands charm of subject and q
line of characters that did rot exist in
this dear old America of ours.
The emotions of American men and
women were apparently not the same as
those across the seas; the great Wealt!
and beauty of American scenery did moi
seem to fill the need as to locale and
well. anyway, American costumes were
ply the distraction necessary to tone
down the limelight on the real merits o.
the production.
Happily this condition of affairs seems
to he disappearing, and let Us hope the
genius of higher art may replace The
mediocrity OF other times and find III oul
own land and among orr own people
themes which Will lay claim to deep in
tercst. and thrill Us with Il greater in
tensitv for being drawn from our OWL
tireSdes and our own people. and. be i
emphasized. by our own piayWrightS.
Both productions. therefore. which viii
be presented tomorrow evening at tho
BelaSco and the Columbia, Will be closely
followed in the hope that American play
wrights have at last found their own and
proved themselves competent to interest
and entertain American audiences.
