''Brewster's Millions" who leads Chase's
bill this week in his London comedy sue
cess, He Tried to Be Nice" is an Amer
lean. from Missouri, or, rather, st. Louis,
which is considered somewhat superior
to the rest of Missouri. He studied law,
but having plenty of spare time be-
tween the calls OF clients, he dabbled in
amateur theatricals. Finally he went to
New York and secured an engagement
to play small parts in the famous A. NJ.
Palmer stock company, out of which
graduated Georgia Cayvan, Joseph

stage stars. He played in Alabama

Man and Superman," and finally as
Monty Brewster in "Brewster's Millions

THE WEEKS PLAYBILLS.
BeIasco-sSThe Faun."

William FayerSham will be the attrac-
ton at the BeIasco Theater this week in
his new comedy, THE Faun," lately pre-
sented at Daly's Theater, New York
THE Faun'' was especially written for
Mr.. Faversham by Edward Knoblauch-
The theme around which Mr.. Knoblauch
has woven the story of The Faun' is
most unique. The dramatist has intro
duced a faun as the central character
of his comedy. This faun wanders into
London one night and into the garden
of the house of Lord Stonbury, whose
love for the turf has swept away his
fortune. StonbUry is about to commit
suicide. He calls in his valet, arranges
his affairs, and discharges his servants,
and just as he is about to raise the pistol
to his head he is attracted by a peculiar
sound emanating from the garden. On
raising the windows he espies the faun
in the garden. The peculiar being inter
ests and later fascinates him. The faun
learns that Lord Stonbury has lost all
his money at the races. He laughs at
him and tells him how foolish he is; he
tells him that if ne had only consulted
him he could have told him the winner of
each race, as his spirit lives with the
horseS-in fact, all of the animals but
especially with horses. Lord Stonbury
makes an agreement with him whereby
he is to divulge to him the names of all
the winners, and he, in turn, is to dress
the faun as a human being, introduce
him to society as Prince Silvania, and
acquaint him with all the different types
of human beings there are in England.
The compact entered into, Lord Ston-
bury regains his lost fortune and be-
comes rich. The faun mingles with all
classes OF people and endeavors to bring
them back to nature" OF course, he
succeeds in getting himself and his friends
into all sorts of trouble, and his out
spoken and blunt manner of speaking
paralyZes the ladies and gentlemen in
society. He discovers the wrong people
are engaged to be married, and that the
wrong people are already married: he
points out the mistakes that others have
made to those about to make similar
ones, and before he leaves Lord Stoubury
to go back to his own. life he manages
to bring the right people together in their
circle. There is a delightful and charm
ing love story running through the play.
which at the beginning is in hopeless
tangle, but, through the offices of the
faun, is happily Strengthened out.
Mr.. Faversham win, of course, imper-
senate the faun- The important mem
bers OF his supporting company are Julie
Opp, Daisy Belmore, Mabel Crawley,
Elise Oldham, H. Nye Chart, Lionel Bel
NOR, w. S. c. Clark, Harry Redding,

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

In Charles Nirdlinger's American COM
edy, Dolly Madison" which Henry B.
Harris will present at the Columbia
Theater next week, with Elsie Ferguson
in the title role, Washingtonians will
have the opportunity of witnessing a
play that is particularly its own. Hardly
less pleasurable than the starring of
Such a Little Queen in the play will
be the presence in the cast of Orme
Caldara, the popular leading man of the
Columbia Players.
The play presents a fascinating picture
of life in the first days of Washington
as the Capital of the country, when it
was yet little more than swamp and
forest" The troubles of Secretary of
State Madison and his chief, President
Thomas Jefferson, with the foreign am
bassadors thrown into the primitive con-
ditions OF social life that then prevailed
in Washington, after diplomatic service in
the polite courts .of Europe, furnished
the background against which moves the
"quixotc venture" as Jefferson called
it, in Mexico. Mr.. Nirdlinger does not
attempt to do any more with this never
understood affair than was done by the
jury headed by John Randolph of Roa-
noke and directed by Chief Justice Mar
shall in the trial held at Richmond.
In the presentation of the celebrities
who figure in Dolly Madison" Mr.. Nird-
linger has departed from the usual method
of historical dramas and attempts to de-
pict his men and women as they actually
were in real life.
Albert Chevalier is coming to the Belas-
CO Theater next week in a new three
act character Of comedy, entitled Daddy
Dufard," written by Chevalier himself
and LecEmere Worrall, an experienced
English playwright. Mr.. Chevalier is
known as one of the truly great char
acter actors of This generation. In the
title role of his new production. Mr..
Chevalier is an old French nobleman,
who had married an English actress,
who dies at the birth OF their little
daughter, Rose. The child is educated
for the stage, but cannot get her chance
for a professional engagement Finally
her father, Daddy Dufard, as he Is
called, resorts to st-atagem, secures the
lease of a gambling club in Mayfair,
which has been closed by the police, turns
it into a private residence for himself,
giving out that he is rich, and assuming
his French title of nobility. The papers
become full of the romantic story of the
old actor and his handsome daughter, and
Immediately offers for the girls profess
sional services pour in. Rose makes a
big hit on the stage, and an ends salts
factorily. The piece gives Mr.. Chevalier
full opportunity for his appearance in
many guses and the display of his splen-
did talents as a character actor. Liebler

season. have provided an excellent cast
and a sumptuous scenic production.
