BEN GREET PLAY
WELL RECEIVED
Shakespeare Out of Doors At
tracts Large Audience.

An audience as enthusiastic as 1t was
large journeyed out to Bristol School
last evening to witness the first per-
formance of a three-day sojourn OF the
Ben Greet Players who appeared at the
Belasco last summer for several weeks.
Midsummer Nights Dream" the
Shakespearean comedy chosen for pro-
duction last evening. is probably the
best play in the Greets' repertory, and
their rendition of 1T last night was en-
tirely up to the standard Of other years.
1t is, besides, the best suited of all
Shakespeare's plays-with the possible
exception of "As You Like Ito out
door production, and the beauty of the
lines was much enhanced last evening
by the natural charm of the surround
ings:
A large stage has been constructed in
IN front of the main building Of the
school and the portable chairs arranged
about the front of ii in ampitheater
form. The orchestra is concealed behind
n clump Of bushes in the rear as is like
wise the chorus. The effect is strikingly
handsome and attractive.
The performance last evening was
marked principally by the dancing of
"Galetea,'' a Washington girl. and the
first appearance of Miss Phyllis Schuyler,
a graduate Of Cathedral School. in this
city. "Galetea's'' dance was enthusiastic
cally received and generously encored,
and 1t Is safe to say that this young lady
will. with the proper amount Of training,
vie with the acknowledged mistresses of
the are of classic dancing, for she pos
sesses what most Of them lack-beauty of
face and figure. Miss Schuyler's voice
heard in the role Of Oberon, was charm

particularly in the scenes with Puck and
Titania-
George Vivian gave a frolicsome read
ing Of the lines of Robin Goodfellow, in
terpolating a queer. fantastic dance In
one Of the earlier scenes; Elizabeth Pat
terson. Elizabeth Valentine, Dallas An
derson, and Redmond Flood were the
quartet Of Athenian lovers while Perci-
val Seymour received many laughs from
his admirable reading of the lines Of
Flute. Ben Greet delivered his usual
absent-minded rendition of Bottom, and
his mannerisms seemed even more mark
ed and obstrusive than in former sea-
sons.

In a speech last night before the Mount
Vernon Avenue Association. at its annual
meetine in Alexandria, Senator Thomas
8. Martin predicted that the memorial
bridge proposition would be taken up at
the next session of Congress. The
bridge. he declared, would be a great
avenue between the North and the South.
He also predicted the construction Of the
Mount Vernon avenue. Senator Martin
said the late Senator Hoar thought the
memorial bridge should cost &.0o0.0oo.

when, he wanted a bridge to represent the
heroism and patriotism Of the nation"

Dramatic School Paves Way
to Success, Says Miss Johnson
Actress Native of this City, Playing in The Man From
Home" Gives Advice to Stage Aspirants

THE shortest road to success on the
stage has its beginnings in the dramatic
school"
This Is the verdict Of Miss Alice John
son. a Washington woman, whose fin
ished dramatic work as Comtesse de
Champigny. in THE Man from Home"
has won her the highest praise Of Wash
ington and New York critics. Inasmuch
as the critique Of one New York review
er asserted that'"the younger and ambi-
tious stage folk of the day would benefit
by a study of Miss Johnson's work. her
views on the subject must carry some
weight with local aspirants. The Ma
tional Capital has furnished it's full
quota of stage successes and that much
dramatic talent Is yet numbered in the
local population is proven by the success
Of amateur performances here every
year.
Miss johnson does not contend the
only road to success lies through the
dramatic school, but she believes. when
circumstances permit. this Is the best
course for the aspiring Thespian.
Born in Warrington.
In her dressing room in the Belasco
Theater, Miss johnson allowed a brief
interview between acts last night. A
Washingtonian by birth and education
and claiming a host Of friends in this
city. Miss Johnson's time has been much
in demand all week and the interview
was necessarily brief. But Miss john
son, who has watched the stage careers
of many young girls with interest. was
full of her subject and able to say much
in a short space OF time.
II don't see why the dramatic profess
sion hasn't the right to expect as much
preliminary training from those who wish
to enter It as any other line of endeavor,"
said Miss Johnson. I'VE wouldn't think
Of employing as stenographer or a like
capacity one who had no previous train
ing or experience. Why then should the
dramatic profession, numbering In Its
ranks many who have given the BEST part
Of their lives to conscientious study and
effort be expected to bear the odium Of

carrying on its rolls girls and young men
who, without training and often with
out any qualification but ambition, wish
to Jump into the front from the outset.
1t is not fair to the profession and 1t is
not fair to the public.
Moreover. stage-struck young girls
could be saved many unavailing tribula-
tons and heart pangs IF disappointed
ambition II they would make their start
under a good dramatic tutor, frank
enough to say, after a fair trial, whether
the pupil commands sufficient talent to
warrant further dramatic work. For the
overworked and constantly worried stage

Should Convey Meaning.
Before a girl attempts to make a
public appearance on the stage, she
should be taught at least how to carry
herself-dancing best establishes the
grace of motion-and above ALL the use
Of the pause in enunciation-the dramatic
pause. This Is the most important part
OF the proper preliminary training. Then
she should be taught something Of read
ing: not the old-fashioned elocution but
rather Of dramatic reading; learning to
pronounce her words distinctly, separate
her sentences with the proper length of
pcuses, and grasp quickly and intelli-
gently the idea the writer seeks to con-
vey.
Unfortunately. this country has not
the facilities of combining educational
work with practical experience that
European countries command. Take
Paris, for instance, with its Come
die FRANCHISE. The management there
seldom goes beyond its roster for talent
When a new lead is to be placed it is
given to some one who has risen through
all the grades under the watchful eyes
Of the Coincide Franchise directors, and
in consequence, those VINO have talent
are prepared to do finished work at a
comparatively early age"
To those who wish to follow a stage
career and have not the means to spend
first some time at a dramatic school,
Miss Johnson commends the summer
stock company.
