LAST NIGHT AT LOCAL PLAYHOUSES
THE BELAsC0.
Frances Starr in eThe Easiest Way

Frances Starr In "The Easiest Way"
THE Easiest Way" Eugene Walters
play, produced by David Belasco, with
frances Star in the leading role. began
a second engagement at the BeIascO The
ater last night, with a large audience
present.
From the standpoints Of good acting
and fne production. there is no question
about the interest of this play, but re-
fection upon the character Of the sub
ject treated may leave some doubt
in the mind as to the adyisability of its
exploitation upon the stage. Miss Starr,
as Laura Murdock. justifies completely
every prediction that has been made in
regard to the superiority of her talents
since her first success in The Rose of the
Rancho" Her portrayal distinctly reveals
the power Of complete understanding and
intelligent development, which together
constitute the art Of good acting. and
despite the character of the role, her per-
sOnality enables her TO win the sympathy
| of the onlooker. The support OF the COM
pany is also quite beyond cayll. the per
sonnel being the same as at the first
presentation OF the play, including Ed
ward H. Robins. as John Madison; Joseph
Kilgour, as Brockton; William Sampson.
es Jim Weston; Beatrice Morgan, as Ellie
St. Clair and Violet Rand. as Annie
The high quality Of the acting does
not, however. altogether atone for the
theme. which is simply the story of the
/ life of a dissolute woman. who has not
the nerve TO bear with adversely for the
| sake OF pure love

CHASE'S.
Comedy Vaudeville.

The prevailing spirit OF the bill at
Chases this week is comedy. the most
Of it being Of the uproarious variety.
There is enough music interspersed to
lend diversity. and the bill is calculated
to put and keep an audience in good
humor.
Gus Edwards Night Birds" IS a spe-
cialty Of novel features with Nellie
Brewster as the star performer. The
songs are we'll rendered and accentuated
by the use OF interesting accessories,
scenic and otherwise. The Curzon Sisters
as The Flying Butterflies also pre-
sented an act OF superior entertaining
quality, combining athletic skill with
spectacular effect, the effect being pro-
duced by hanging by the teeth 10 the
ends OF ropes and being reyoIved, the
dlaphanous drapery producing an illusion
OF futtering butterflies. Stuart Barnes
contributed his monologue. with plenty
OF new material. including some clever
topical songs, and eliciting great amuse-
ment by his running Interpolation Of sat
ire on womankind John r. Gordon and
Arthur Pickens. in What Would You
Do?' furnished an interval OF lively COM
edy, while George Jones and Ben Dooley,
in The Hotel st. Reckless" carried the
merriment along. The -Four Konerz
Brothers as THE Boys with the Toys
gave an interesting exhibition Of skill
with the hoops, boomerangs, and diabo-
los. Iuza and Torella furnished more
comedy in connection with jumping feats
and the vitagraph showed series OF
episodes in the life Of "The Crown Prince

THE NEW NATIONAL.
Richard CarIe in aMary,s Lamb

Richard Carrie in ''Mary's Lamb"
Richard earle. In the slightly sugges-
tive musical farce, "Mary's Lamb" re-
turned TO the New National Theater last
night, and found himself greeted by en-
thusiastic friends. earle. partly by de-
fault and partly through merit. Is be-
coming the leading farceur of musical
comedy that We have. His humor is
unctuOus TO use an overworked but mis-
applied term. He has a natural comedy
face and other cOmicaI anatomical requi-
sites And the most delicious feature Of
his work is the obvious little asides and
interpolatiOns-bits which you feel are
spontaneous, whether they are so IN real
ity or not
Carle is the proud adapter OF "Mary's
Lamb" and also composed the music and
staged the play. He is full Of ideas. and
the play ali through shows a dozen and
one touches visible often in the work of
the other players which show his hand
He is pretty much OF a show in himself, in
fact. is Carle, and one can imagine him
through all the stages of producing such
musical comedy as last nights. rehears-

tenor Just how 10 stand to receive the
spotlight, and giving the ingenue her
gestures. A very busy worker is earle.
and when he is on the stage, the moments
do not lag.
'A1ary's Lamb" has to do with a hen
pecked husband who achieves triumph
finally over a very masterful wife; but
that story has been told. Chief concern
is with the fun and the girls, Of whom
there are not many. but they are phys
ically most attractive. earle never uses
any other kind in the business. The
shadowgraph in THE Modest Little
Model song prove this. especially as to
figure. The effect Is Of a Wedgewood
plaque; but it Is not offered under pre-
tense OF art. so perhaps should not be
censured- II might be omitted. however
In the interest of purity. and the show
would still be a rattling good one With
a funny fellow like Carle and a bunch
OF pretty girls and a lot of catchy songs.

is not for the better. Miss Rafter did

GEORGETOWN DENIES STORIES.
Track Team in Good shape, Con-
trary Reports NOtwithstanding.

The notices which have appeared in
two OF the local papers within the last
week to the effect that Georgetown's s
track team was in bad shape because Of
the fact that only four men were out
trying FOR the relay team and no candi-
dates for the sprints or various other
events, Is without foundation.
Due 20 the efforts OF Martin. and the
fact that a competent coach is at hand
in the person Of Bill Foley, a large bunch
OF candidates have been reporting regu-
larly ever since the Christmas recess
closed. True II is that the men are not
all experienced runners, jumpers, and
shot-putters. but they are showing the
proper spirit, and in the end Foley can
be relied upon to get the form into them.
Although Capt Martin is going 20 con-
fine himself to the sprints this year,
good relay team should be developed.
The report that Virginia and George
town might not run this year is like
wise a fallacy. for Manager McNulty has
received word from Manager Cecil that
the Vlrginians would be here in force
and would race Georgetown's relay team.

THE ACADEMY.
.The Counsel for the Defense

"The Counsel for the Defense"
Thomas f. Shea, well known to Wash
ington theatergoers as one of the fore
most exponents OF legitimate acting at
popular prices, was given a rouslng vel
come at the Academy last evening when
he appeared in Al. II. Woods new play,
The Counsel for the Defense" in the
title role.
Mr.. Shea is given plenty of opportunity
to display to advantage hts dramatic
ability In the strong scenes which occur
in the third and fourth acts. and his eff
forts were evidently appreciated. as was
evinced by the applause.
The story opens at the ''Rookery." a
fashionable cafe. where a merry party
are Willing away the hours. Several OF
those present become involved in an al
tercation, and when Richard Matthews,
who has started all the trouble by bring
ing up a past history, leaves. he is fol-
lowed by John Leslie, who threatens to
kill him. on his way home from the
club, in snowstorm, Henry Desmond
is met by Matthews and in a fight
kills him IN self-defense and runs away.
Desmond and Mrs. Leslie are old sweet
hearts, and when her husband is ac-
cused Of the murder she goes to Desmond
and requests that he take her husbands
case. He refuses at first, but later ac-
cepts and by doing so is accused OF dou-
decreasing his political party, and the
whole party machine is allied against
him in an effort to railroad his client
to the electric chair. By perjury the
district attorney is able to weave a cir
cumstantial web Of evidence around Les
lie and things look black for him when
several good moves on the part OF Des-
mond change the tide and he is ac-
quilted.
AS Mason Strong, a political leader,
Spencer Charters gave an excellent ex-
position Of the part The feminine men,
bers Of the cast also deserve mention
for their good work
The play is in four acts and five
scenes.

PARK OF FUN OPENS
"The Arcade" Pleases Crowd
on Opening Day.
MIDWAY IS REAL FEATURE
Newest Amusement
Place Attracts Host of Merry
makers, Who Came I'm Crowds and
Remained Until Lights Went Out.
Proceeds for Fairgrounds.

Washington's newest amusement place

''The Arcade" Fourteenth street and
Park road, admitted in the vicinity OF
1900 persons. including several members
of the Cabinet and many government
officials, between the hour OF opening and
midnight.
"AIl roads lead 10 Park road" was no
idle Jest last night. From O'Clock until
nearly 10 o'clock the Fourteenth street
cars were carrying their capacity and
every one who boarded one wanted to
know II the Arcade was along the route.
Crowds at Doors.
When the big amusement pavilion hove
in sight. every one found crowd wait
ing at the doors that was probably a
record In long distance gate receipts.
Inside the scene was indescribable.
Every amusement feature was crowded
with scores Of pretty girls and Just as
many anxious escorts. not to mention
some more scores OF unattached young
men and women and their elders.
The Midway the Human Roulette
Wheel. the Soup Bowl the Crystal Maze.
the Cyclone Cellar, the Moving Picture
Theater, the Bowling Alleys. and the
Dancing Halls, all had their quota Of
energetic young people.
There was something doing for every
man. woman, and child who entered the
big hall, and there were few who failed
to stay until the lights began TO blink
out. Hardly had the fun waned in the
vicinity Of the roulette wheel, where
dozens Of feminine and masculine per-
sons tried to beat the laws OF nature, 70
the amusement Of hundreds. when the
orchestra began calling them 10 the
dance hall. and the real fun began.
JOY was unconfned until a late hour
With the crowd banked dozen deep
around the walls. the dancers Whirled
merrily 70 the rhythm OF the last
waltzes and two-steps.
While the big crowd was making merry
in the large hall. there was a jolly little
crowd OF newspaper men and guests Of

was served, and the hall was approprl-
ately christened
4 FOFerunner OF Fun.
| Last night was only a forerunner Of the
fun that is coming to the people who
patronize the Arcade. The management
| is going 10 have a surprise every night
IN the shape OF a new amusement. and
in the meantime ell the old ideas will be
running in full blast. Just as they were
| last night.
Yesterday the proceeds went TO the
Washington Fairgrounds Association, but
to-day the gate receipts viii be salted
down by the management, and IL the
opening can be used as a fitting example.
there VIII not be any lack Of profits.

RUTH ST. DENIS
: Gives Dances with Five Elaborate
stage Settings.

stage Settings.
a special orchestra, Miss Ruth St Denis
performed a group OF her famous Hindoo
dances. so-called. at the New National
Theater yesterday afternoon before a
good-sized audience.
The elaboration of these dances into
miniature plays, as it were, greatly aids
the imagination. so far as their Hindoo
origin is concerned. AS a matter of fact.
not dances at all, but series OF graceful
posturing. The first one. the Cobra or
Snake Charmer," is done almost entirely
with the hands, and the effect was ex-
traordinary. II is the most remarkable
of Miss St Denis conceptions.
Her hands in this act are decorated each
with two huge emerald s0litaires. and
the snaky movements of the arms about
her neck. up and down the body. upon
the ground. and in the air are so near 10
the actual movements OF a serpent as TO
be almost repellent in their fascination.
The Purda, or Spirit of Incense" is an
other series OF poses. representing a Hin
doc woman at her task Of filing and car
ing for the incense jars. The purda is

arates the womens apartments from the
rest OF the house. After the woman's task
is completed, she glides back behind the

tive setting, IN which a rajah is sup

was full of animation and coquetry. She
is tall and slender woman. we'll formed
and OF marvellous grace and suppleness.
She postures without suggestiveness, and
Cnquesuonably possesses a true artistic
instinct. At the same time. there Is apt
70 be a question whether the display Of
bare flesh IS a tribute TO art or a magnet
10 attract an audience. The last two
dances upon the programme. with their
Hindoo mise en- scene may be exceed
ingly beautiful from the Oriental point
Of view. but they are certainly sur
rounded by an unwholesome atmosphere
There was once a time when the cOryphee
was novelty. From that era Of scanti-
ness Of attire there has been a steady
progress. until Miss Duncan and Miss
Allan and Loie Fuller's muses. seemed TO
reach the extent of disrobing upon the
stage. If Miss St. Denis goes still further,
1t may be because the Hindoo idea must
be presented In all its truthfulness; but
there still remains a doubt whether any
real good has been attained.
