first appearance at the New National

company and the production are subs an
TALLY the same as seen here few months
ago. Hubert Wilke has been succeeded
by Walter Percival as Franz, the music
student, who is the hero of the story.
Louis Harrison is also missing from the
cast The part of lima Walden. created
by Miss Van Studdiford. was filled last
evening by Miss Mary Quive, who seemed
to fully meet the exacting requirements
of the role, both as to voice and looks.
Even after a successful season on the
road. the offering has all the charm and
freshness OF an initial presentation, with
the advantage of many weeks of expert
ence and discipline. both for principals
and chorus. The production is now fin
ished in every way. with no rough edges
and for that reason. perhaps, is more
enjoyable than when here last fall. The
stage pictures are particularly pleasing
to the eve, especially the Butterfly and
the Clover" song and dance. given on a
darkened stage, with novel thrown-light
effects.
The music by Mr.. de Koven is of the
substantial type. while Mr.. Smiths libret-
to is connected story, affording abun-
dant cause for mirth and laughter.

for the first time in Washington Bui-

From the days of Forrest and Booth the
great French cardinal has furnished
tempting role for the display of the talent
of the worlds greatest artists. Masterful
in every detail Of his memorab bic life: pos

that overtopped his own time; frail in

nifty and wonderful in the workings of his
master mind, Richelieu--the Richelieu of
Bulwer Lytton-is indeed a rock upon
which an inferior player must inevitably
go to pieces. Such is the character. and
surrounding its development is woven
some of the most interesting and most
exciting incidents in the life of the
French nation.
Mr.. Sothern's talented mind and artistic
taste have presented many strong and
magnificent cameo OF dramatic art for
the admiration of his friends and lovers
Of real drama. But in the role of the
great Frenchman he has excel'ed his
other portraitures. His Richelieu is not

actors of the good old times but a
finished and studious impersonation of

the more subdued situations When with
the solemn circle of the church he sur

though it wore CROWN who dares set
foot within. he rises to exceptional dra-
matte power.
The Baradas of Eric Blind is fine piece
of work. as was the De Mauprat of Fred

was acceptable in the minor part of
Marion.
Albert Howison as Orleans. William
Harris as Joseph: John Taylor as Huguet,

CHASED TWENTY BLOCKS.
Chauffeur Arrested Charged With
Speeding Forfeits Collateral.

Clarence +. Hackett, a chauffeur of a
big touring car owned in the northwest
section of the city, and which played an
important part in a long police chase
last night for alleged speed violation,
failed to appear in the Police Court this
morning for trial and forfeited $40 col

thirty miles an hour. They signaled to

merry, wind-consuming chase on the part
of the bicyclists began, which did not
end until the automobile reached eth

A N U S E N E N T S
Columbia.

. The first production of 1.-The Whirlpool
at the Columbia Theater last night was
attended by a large audience that lis
tened with attention to arguments on
sociological subjects conducted by the va
rious characters with force which
amounted at times TO vehemence. 1t is
one of the plays which in the anxiety TO
'call spade a spade are in constant
danger of picking up the mnckrake by
mistake. 1t is the province of the stage
to hold the mirror up to nature. We have
had pictures of the gay life and the sad
life, and this season has brought FOR
ward studies in the tawdry life. Cold.
hard analysis has been applied 10 condi-
tions and chara cters which a few sea
sons ago were considered beneath notice
for stage purposes. The success of one
or two of these plays led to apprehensive
expectancy of the deluge. of which The
Whrlpoor' is the latest drop.
The characters are wholly ordinary IN
taste. sentiment and mentality. and the
language employed is studiously unlite-
rary. The heroine. with whose tempta-
ton and moral triumph the play concerns
itself. summarized her experiences In TINS
speech: "The floorwalker made crack
at me- | wouldn't stand for it and | got
the sack"
An author who clothes the sad story of
his heroine thus ruggedly bids such de-
fiance to the usual standards of crlti-
him. He is apart from and possibly supe-
rior to the consideration commonly deemed
important. The characters are his TO do
with as he may choose: his writing table
is an Olympus from which he guides the
destinies of the beings who owe him thelr
existence. If he desires he can marry
this self-relant slansy, ungrammaticai
young woman to the refined and rather
sensitive young man who has made her
acquaintance in his settlement work. Ana
if any one may doubt that they lived
happily ever after. he can write another
play and prove it TO his own compete
satisfaction.
Charles Waldron played the principal
male role with excellent judgment. and
Miss Katherine Grey met the difficulties
of the leading feminine character with
the skill of the experienced actress. She
did not let the part sink for a moment
into the commonplace; neither did she at
any time lift il into absolute greatness.
Dorothy Dorr had the task of portray
ing one of those extremely imp easant
people whose manners morals and meth
od of speech seem engaged in competition
as to which can be worst. She gave
carefully emphasized delineaticn of the
good-natured lobster-d -devouring deniZen OF
New York's white way. Joseph aytor's
brief scenes gave him chance enough for
a capital character study of the horse
race person with nothing but money. II
was a role that might have been allowed
to break further into the plot with
benefit to the performance.
The play is of the generality now ex-
pected when the program announces:
