J. E. Dodson, Mimic.

Few people are aware that J. F. bod
son is capital mimic. The other even
ing he was discussing plays and PLAYERS
after a performance Of The House Next
Door. which will be seen at the Ma
tional Theater q week hence. when the
subject turned to the late Sir Henry Try
ing, who was warm personal friend of
MIR. Dodson He said that the peculiar
enunciation and cultural sounds which
Sir Henry uttered. in the strong passages
or play, were due to oyerexertion.
Irving had naturally a fine. almost femi-
nine voice, and when he was called upon
10 be robust, he forced his voice into
unnaturalness. Mr. Dodson then pro-
ceeded 10 give an illustration, which was
so natural an imitation that had those
present closed their eyes and forgotten
that Sir Henry's ashes were resting in
Westminster Abbey. they would have
thought the late actor was in the room.
The imitation was perfect. not the bur
lesque that so manymsive, but the exact
reproduction Of the voice and enuneiation.
Mr.. Dodson does not boast of the accom-
plishment, saying that It came naturally
10 him.

The Observation-Disclosures"
UOJOO00QOOOVD


In play that gives her an opportunity
TO display her rare skill and intelligence
as an actress, Ethel Barrymore comes TO
the New National Theater for one week.
beginning Monday evening. She is ap-
pearing in ''Mid-Channel." by Sir Arthur
w. Pinero Miss Barrymore viii be seen
supported by a cast the equal Of which
has not been seen in this city for years.
Among the players in the company are
Charles Dalton, II Reeves-Smith. Eugene
O'Brien. Louise Drew. Maud Milton,
Helen Freeman, Marianne Thurber. Ed
ward Arnold /. G. Howard Charles
Wright and others. The play tells an
engrOSsing story of a man and his wife
who have spent the hrst dozen years OF
their life TO pushing their way through
the crowd" They have accomplished
wealth and station. and Yet in their
sumptuous home they come TO the real
iZaJiOn OF the misery. They have neglect
ed their duties that bring happiness later
on, and the opening of the play finds
them laundering in grief and despair.
AS Zoe Blundell. the character portrayed
by Ethel Barrymore puts il, they are
on each others nerves" An old bachelor
friend tries 20 forestall their threatened
marital doom. He tells them a pretty
anegory about a sunken reef in the Eng
fish Channel where there is always a
rough and turbulent sea. He compares
this condition 20 their own experience
and begs them TO pull hard together and
get away from this reef and out where
the water Is smooth and pleasant. The
pair vow to try and start off bravely
for a second honeymoon. Unhappiness
quickly follows them, and on the play
moves, the central characters seemingly
dashed by the whip of an memorable fate.
The ending Is truthful and astounding.
