SUCH A LITTLE QUEEN" IS A SUCCESS
DOCKSTADER RECALLS OLD MINISTRIES
Local Hits Figure in Black
face Show at the
BelaSco.

AIinstrelsy has by no means lost It's
flavor for a Washington audience. Ask
any one Of the several hundred play
goers who sat in the Belasco Theater
last night and saw the performance Of
Lew DOckstader and his burnt cork
gentry. and he probably viii admit that
his sides ache a bit today from excess
laughter. True, some of the jokes OF
the DOckstader repertoire have a sus-
picion of mustiness, but told by these
men they enter the unremembering ear
with a freshness that makes them &C
ceptable.
In this instance it is noteworthy that
Mr.. Dockstader is not the only star.
There are other starlets in his cOnstella-
ton that twinkle as brightly as he.
Take. for example, such old minstrel
friends as Neil O'Brien, Al Jolson,
George McKenna, and Eddie Mazier;
they could carry the burden of a far
less entertaining show than that pre-
seuted last night, and give pleasure to
less CompreheudnS minds than filled
The BelaSco at this opening performance
Mr.. Dockstader's opening scene pre-
sents a rather striking background in
the % 'POssum Aero Club" and he fol-
lows this later by startling his audience,
after the theater is plunged into dark
ness. by soaring overhead in a stage
"aerOplaue." Seated in this he hurts
down a banter Of jokes, not forgetting
to suggest a few names that might be
acceptable for the vacant District COM
missionerships. Another Of his hits
concerns the discovery OF the North
Pole, the settlement of the dispute over
which he suggests that we leave to his
absent friend, Colonel Roosevelt.
The song hits offered by the Dock
stader troupe are by no means the
least enjoyable on the program. And

in this series. one need not attribute to him an
Imaginative purpose, which, indeed it Is pretty
certain he has never even mOmentarily enter
tained while engaged upon his task, but surely
one must believe that he painted with his whole
being open to the appeal of that indescribable
I"yeliness which broods upon his water garden, a
Ioveliness that is not only seen but felt. Never
has his work possessed finer, subtler quality,
and never. It may be added, has he exercised
ulster control over his method and his style.

CLAUDE MONET.
Some Beautiful Examples Of HIS
Recent WOrH.

Sitting i'm his studio in Giverny, amid be-
widerng number of the paintings that he had
not long before executed on the Thames, NJ
Monet once explained To the present writer how
he was fix the limits OF some such series
of pictures he had based on Waterloo Bridge.
Rouen Cathedral or his famous haystacks He
went on Painting ne said. until he had exhausted
his subject. Then. going critically through the
mass of canvases accumulated. he picked out
those which dissatisfied him and forthwith de-
stroyed them IL was fine illustration of his
artistic inte gritty. and the finer because it was
offered quite matter of course. His con-
science would not permit him to send anything
forth from his studio that did not reach certain
standard and he cheerfully recognized the fact
that no artist can perpetuaIly strike twelve. 1t
must have been the operation of this high prn-
ciple of his that delayed the exhibition in Paris
of Les Nympheas," the latest series to which
he has devoted himself. There was promise of
il two three years ago, but not until last sum-
mer did the paintings appear in the Paris gal
Iery of NJ Durand- Ruel. Now a few of them
being shown by the same dealer in this city.
They beautifully confirm the significance of the
episode just related. NJ Monet is still his own
severest judge only giving to the world things
that are worthy Of him.
The series of Les Nymph6as'' was painted
under peculiarly felicitous conditions. nj.
Monet's home is set within garden, but just
across the road he unlocks the gate upon what
