there is such constant evolution and i'm

that the District boys on each recurring

In the matter of their adaptability to the
unusual conditions of life aboard a big
fighting craft. the members of the District
of Columbia naval militia have great
advantage over the amateur tars Of those
other cities where the training ships are
that are not altogether satisfactory sub
stitutes for real warships. In the Purf-
tan. however, the District boys have a
practice ship that enables them to work
mating those of an up-to-date sea war
rior. Then, too, the fact that the Puri-
tan is a monitor with the cramped living
quarters characteristic OF that type Of
craft has better prepared the boys for
what they must expect on the annual
cruises. Nevertheless, for all these
factors Of preparedness, the present in
terval with the battleship fleet is vastly
different from any other experience that
comes to the tackles from the Potomac.
To become unit in a warship community
of 100 or 800 souls and to be subjected to
the discipline of a battleship cruising
under what are in effect the conditions OF
actual warfare is a long step from drills
aboard an old-time monitor anchored on
the Washington water front.
The best appreciation Of what very
busy life the District Naval Reserves are
leading Is to be had from perusal of the
daily program of one of the battleships
now lowering around Cape Cod. For the

ARCADE BILL INTRODUCES
NEW VAUDEVILLE FACES,

A feature of the program at the Ar
cade Theatre for ,he first half of this
week is that not one vaudeville num-
Der on the entire bill has ever appeared
at the Arcade before and that each en-
tertainer is an adept In his particular
style of diversion. Laughter is caused
by the humorous Incidents presented
by The Kirbros, George and Nellie, in
an ingenious v~entroloquial sketch, Fun

Mabel, who comprise the team billed as
The Blessings" offer a novelty In their
burlesque magic. Charlie Halls con
tribution consists of comedy, singing
and eccentric dancing, the whole being
garnished with clever trick banjo
playing. Frank Hudson is the principal
song illustrator for this week. Miss
Bessie Powers's bit of entertaining pos
sesses merit that does not permit 1t to
be overlooked. The vitagraph's series
of animated pictorial portrayals has a
good variety of subjects, with new
ones added daily.
Hudson-Fulton celebration scenes will
be exhibited in conjunction with the
complete change of program going into
effect Thursday and continuing the re-
mainder of the week..

KATE Gilmore HEADS GOOD
ENTERTAINMENT AT LYRIC,

There are three very good acts, one
fairly good act and a filing in of in
teresting acts that altogether make an
exceptionally fine show at the Lyric
Tor this week. OF course, our old friend
Kate Gilmore leads with one the best
presentations of her side-splitting self
that has been seen recently. Miss Eli
more Is evidently just In from her va.
cation, for the brown Is still on her
arms. Her personality Is there, though,
and for a good solid fifteen minutes of
old-fashioned fun. see Katie.
The other two headliners are William
Morrow, Verda Schellberg and COM
pany in a musical satire of frontier
hfe,' entitled "Happy's Millions and

cellent one-act comedy, IA Lesson at

typical cowboy, springs some new and
some old jokes, but with that laugh of
his 1t doesn't matter just exactly what
he says. Miss S~chellberg made a de-
mure Quakeress.
In "a Lesson at Eleven P. M" the
troubles of a jealous husband and wife
are happily settled by Fred Hallen, who
as Bill Jones, pseudo-burglar, amuses
the audience in an expert names by
his, efforts to mollify Harold Huddle-
sion, the JEALOUS husband. Miss Full

"RIALTO FOUNDERS" MAKE
WALDMANN'S CROWD HAPPY.

"Rialto FOUNDERS is the show APP
pearing at Waldmann's Theatre this
week, and Manager Ottelengui Is for
tunate in presenting at this early date
such good performances as the COM
pany gave yesterday. The girls, the
songs, the stage settings, the costumes
and the originality of plot make the
show one we'll worth seeing. The
amount of ginger displayed leaves no
doubt in the mind of the audience but
that every member of the cast Is doing
his utmost to please.
The company is headed by Sam
Howe, a clever Hebrew im~personator
and the author of the two burlettas
presented, and includes a galaxy of
pretty and shapely chorus girls. "A
Day at Niagara Falls gives the COM
pany a chance to show what 1t can
do. A good second to Sam Howe was
played by Charles Raymond. who por-
trays a broken-down actor.

Charles Raymond and James Smith
are excellent singers. Sam Howe, as
sisted by We're Desmond and Matt
Taylor, present a one-act comedy play
let, "A Broken Heart" The theme is
an old one, but the rendering Is good.
The Brlnkle girls, headed by Miss Julia
Heitzman, show to advantage, and sew
eral excellent life pictures are eXhib-
tied. Ward and Taylor give a bunch
of foolishness which was well received
last night.
Il The show closes with "A Day at the
Races" Two 'thoroughbred' horses
are here disclosed, and the race be-
tween them brings a laugh from every
one.

rT was a highly critical audience that

sYT was a highly critical audience that
watched Mr.. Mantell In the New
ark Theatre last night, when he
opened a weeks engagement with the
ensanguined Macbeth. Rumors of his
friumphs in Manhattan had long since
waited their way Newarkward, n
we wanted to judge for ourselves as
to his progress since his last appear
ance in this city.
Needless to say. we were not disap-
pointed. Mr.. Mantell's exquisite
citation was only equalled by the depth
and variety of his facial expression.
From the ome of Macheth's first
meeting with the witches until his
death at the hand of Maeduff there
WAS not a note or gesture to mar the
Sperfect whole of his performance. The
wavering of the coward, not bad
enough to do wrong without knowing
remorse and not good enough to resist
1t. was depicted with a convincing
realism that made men look inward
to see IL they, too, possessed such
weakness. The scenes just before and
after the murder of Duncan, in which
MIR. Mantell was splendidly supported
by Marie Booth Russell. were triumphs
OIL HlSlIlOiiite eli IL WYNN
SO easy to descend into melodrama, yet
not once did the principals lose their
fine hold on the characters of the ter
ror-stricken yet relentless plotters. Mr..
Mantell believes in depicting emotional
depths through the medium of the face
rather than the body. AT no time
were his gestures e~xtravagant. but al
ways was 1t easy to follow the trend
- II 41...~t.t. - tho guilty Uuaypr-
dng, remorseful Macbeth by merely
watching his countenance. After those
first few moments in the first act Mr..
Mantell did not act Macbeth. He was
Macbeth.
Marie Booth Russell's conception OF
Lady Macbeth was wholly adequate.
Her enunciation is far better than In
former years. She has lost much OF
that draw that used to make audiences
rather impatient. so invisible were the
spaces between her words. She was at
her best In the scenes with Macbeth,
wherein she beguiles him into tacitly
consenting to Duncan's murder, and
then taunts his ,wavering will into
definite purpose. Her sleep-walking
scene was artistically done.
Mr.. Mantell is surrounded by a COM
petent company. There is a comfort
ing absence of the tendency to sing the
lines which many actors find hard to
avoid in Shakespearian plays. Fritz
Leiber won hearty applause for his ex-
cellent portrayal of Macduff. and a dig
nihed Duncan was played by Alfred
Hastings.

BERT LESLIE'S FUNNY SLANG
KEEPS PROCTORITES AMUSED

An excellent program Is presented to
the patrons of Proctor's Theatre this
week, and Judging from the applause
every number on the unusually long
bill met the approval of a large audi
ence last night. There is SO mucn good
to say about all those taking part that
1t is hard to partieularize.
To heal all of the latest slang anus
tngly dished up one should listen to
Bert Leslie, who Is presenting a sketch
of Hogan in Society," in which lie Is
the whole show and which is a barrel
of laughter. Sid Horner's Minstrels,
with Subers, Coakley and Mcbride
sing and dance in a way to please
everyone.
One of the odd features of tine pro-
gram is Captain Jack Crawford. the
Poet Scout" He dresses in true West
ern style, but talks and acts like a born
actor. He reclteS a number OF highly
interesting poems. Alfred Kappeler
n Maple Audrey present a sketch, en-
titled IN q Grecian Garden" in which
they sing q number of love songs In
fine style. They also introduce a pleas
Ing amount of comedy In the act.
Geiger and Walters, who are always
