Columbia.

The capacity audience at the Columbia
Theater last evening welcomed the Co
lumbia players in the first play Of their
stock season most cordially. The cast
of the company promises much. judging
from it's initial performance last even
ing of The Three of Us" comedy
of life IN a Nevada mining camp, by
Rachel Crothers. with Julia Dean in
the leading role. Versatile and convnc-
ing, she lent a charm to the part of
Rhy MacChesney that savored but little
of stock work. Thomas Chatterton, as
Stephen Townley played the role to the
entire satisfaction of the audience, his
work, with that of Miss Deans. being
especially appreciated In the scene where
gold is struck in the abandoned mine.
Alexander Calvert interpreted the role of
Louis Beresford, the wealthy, unscrupu-
lous New York schemer, with reserve
and dignity that stamped 1t one OF the
best interpretations Of the evening. Ernst
Butterfleld, as Clem MacChesneys por-
trayed an unpleasant character Sd con-
vincingly that he won sympathy from the
audience, rather than the deserved con-
demnation. Tweed Blk is an Englishman
in the play. and Alexander F. Frank WAS
evidently impressed with that fact-even
to the extent Of an overdrawn. though
amusing. portrayal. Jack Smith Is an
other Of those. rare child actors who are
natural before the footlights, while James
w. Swan, Ruth d. Blake, Clara Sidney
anu LduTeuCc E<yTc were aCCept6UiS
The Three of U.s. is the name of
mine inherited by the three MacChesney
children-Rhy, Glenn and Sonnie-and the
play is built around their efforts to hold
the mine until it can be sold to adj
vantage. Stephen Townley, in love with
Rhy and loved by him. discovers pay
streak in an abandoned claim, and plans
to sell it, with Rhy's property and the
mine owned by Mrs. Blk. to Trenholm,
the representative OF wealthy mining
syndicate. The secret of his discovery is
intrusted to Rhy only. but her disgruntled
brother, Clem, overhears the conversa-
tion and sells his information to Beres-
illustrates the plans of selling the mines,
but. in addition lures Rhy into a COM
promising situation and estranges her
from her lover. The untanglement of the
situation Is accomplished in the end, of
course, and Stephen is admitted to the
household Of three and the heart of the
head of IL.

New National.

1t is here again-the Aborn Opera Com
pany-with new faces and many OF the
more familiar ones. Before a very large
audience last night at the National Thea
ter it presented that never-failing IA
vorite. Robin Hood and added another
laurel to it's already large collection.
There was very large desire on the
part of the audience to applaud their fa-
vorites-both singers and songs-and In
more than one instance the applause
broke forth before the song was over.
Forest Huff in singing Brown October
Ale" was interrupted in the middle of a
splendid note with perfect torrent of
applause. And the same way with George
Tallman. an ideal tenor for the part of
Robert, Earl of Huntington, afterward the
outlaw. His stage presence and the ease
with which he carried his part made him
many friends last night.
Helen Bertram, new to Washington.
sang Marian's part. She has clear high
soprano and uses it WELL She promises
to be a very popular member Of the sum-
mer opera company. FRITZ Won Busing
charmed every one as Alan-a-Dale, and
her singing of 20 Promise Me" earned
her much praise.
The comedy Of robin Hood" as we'll
known and as old as 1t Is. was received
last night much in the same delighted
way as children welcome an old friend.
George rockingham, Sol Solomon. who
pdy0u 1uN VI IibDOTuS, VHlIdNl IhSilHoii
West, as the Sheriff Of Nottingham, and
Hattie Arnold, who always plays the part
of Dame burden, shared the honors with
decided equality with the more serious
roles. Washington audiences look for
George rockingham, and last night he
was applauded before he started any of
his inimitable nonsense. People always
laugh and always have laughed when he
puts the rat in the soup, and they laugh
before he gets started with that "curse
of the church. The Sheriff of Not
tingham. who makes the folks bow low
to him as he sings Il Am the Sheriff of
Nottingham was in good trim last
night and played his part without exag-
geration. Then the old-time favorite,
the Tinkers. Chorus, went off with as
much snap and fun as ever.
Sabery dOrsell had it all her own way
as Anabel last night. She has a rather
captivating manner and will make friends
before she leaves the city. The whole
company worked hard to make success
for the first night, and it is probably an
easy prediction to say that this, the
third. season of the troupe will be one
of the best 1t has had.

FEW OYSTERS COMING.
Arrivals Yesterday Mainly From

The oyster season on the Potomac and

are now being taken from the beds in the
Potomac, vessels are coming here from
bay points with the bivalves aboard. The

often CLANS are also included in the car

recruits shall be put through course Of
hardening with hot and cold baths and

1t was not only a trying predcament
for the young woman. but for the play

brt rarely seen in Washington. Alexander

the requirements of his role and was ex-
