Patrons of the Academy
Pleased With Beverly

The offering at the Academy this
week is Beverly" dramatized from
the novel Beverly, OF Graustark," by
Robert NJ. Baker. The story is written
by George Barr McCutchen, and is one
of the most popular of his novels. In
the play, the scenery representing places
in an imaginary principality in Europe,
is one of the most attractive features.
Beverly Calhoun is young American
girl, who is visiting the Princess Yetive,
of Graustark. She mixes herself UP in
affairs of state and is rewarded by win
ming q man whom she loves, a poor
mountaineer, Baldos, who turns out to
be the exiled Prince Dantam, of DAVIS
bergen. a neighbor1ng principality. The
energetic action and original comedy of
the piece furnishes a pleasing evening 8
entertainment
II would be hard to find one who could
take the role of Beverly Calhoun and
make a more winning heroine than did
Miss Woodruff. Lawrence Evart, as
Baldos, did capable work and played
his part with swing and dash that
won the favor of the audience from the
start. Lillian Devere, as Aunt Fanny.
Beverly's black maid, provoked because
she was not in the land Of Dixie. was
responsible for much of the comedy
All of the more important roles were
in good hands, and the production was
heartily applauded by a capacity house.

CROWD TO BELASCO
Organization Presents One
of Best Offerings of
Its History.

With a cheer for President Taft, who
was included in the distinguished audi

Pennsylvania, last night brought to a
close one of the best shows ever pro-
duced by that famous organization dur
ing the twenty three years of its ex-
istence-
The Innocents" is repIete with bright
songs and clever lines and offers excel
lent opportunities for the chorus work
and good dancing that has done much
to make the Mask and Wig one of the
best known of all the college clubs of
It's sort. There was little plot to the
whole offering, which simply served to
bring out speCialties in which the col
lege men and girls performed in a
manner which would have reflected
credit on professionals
OF all the numbers offered "Cupid's
Problem" probably made the biggest
hit, being sung by a quartet composed
of c. H. Pearsall and E. FL Rogers.
who were two boys who had fallen in
love with Harrison Townsend and r. c.
Schmidt, a pair of society girls As
tutor, J. II. McFadden was a distinct
success, while D. II. Smith, as a SOU
brette. was forced to respond TO several
encores with his song. When You're a
Star"
alias Jimmy Valentine" in the Sec
ond part, was clever burlesque, which
went we'll with the audience that filled
every seat and had standing room at a
premium before the curtain went up.
The book Of THE Innocents" was
written by w. F. Martin, while most of
the songs are. by Charles GiIpin. who
has long been musical director for the
Pennsylvanians.

the three rings at the same time. and
tbeh performers in the different arenas
work together to the minute.
This gives a dash of novelty. as well
as pleasure, to the circus, which was
keenly enjoyed and appreciated by the
large audiences yesterday. which were
made up of all classes of people In
Washington. Senators, Congressman,
diplomats, and society folk mingled
with the ordinary people.
The clowns with the Ringing circus
made much mirth by their incidental
comedy. Their work was really divert
ing, because much Of 1t was new. and
ali Of II was funny character work by
good artists. This year, beside the usual
assortment Of clowns, this circus has
for novelties dwarf clowns and lady
clown.
The performance opens with an intro
ductory pageant, presenting a picture OF
the pomp and splendor of the ancient
Egyptians, and closes with the garland
entry and equine ballet by skillful riders
and some remarkably well-trained and
beautiful horses.
Following this, in quick succession.
come herds of trained elephants, an ar
ray of exciting high-air surprises, an
all-star group Of international equos-
trians, new manege acts. wire ana
aerial acts. The performance closes
WITH bOtIl6 eACltlfB al =
cowgirls, cowboys. three teams, rough
riding. shetland ponies, handicap cours-
ing. and two and four horse chariot
races. The coursing contest between
American and English whippet dogs was
best liked and excited the audience to a
high state of enthusiasm.
All of the Acts Good.
1t is but fair to say that all of tEe
acts are good and all are interesting. 1t
Is therefore unfair to single out indi-
vidual acts for special mention in such
a good bill. The three buttons, a trio
of adroit equestrians, gave picturesque
performance with two horses and an
English cart. making decided hit with
the audience.
Alfred Lyars dog troupe performs
wonderful feats while riding on horse
back, while the Philles troupe gave a
novel manege act. introducing high
school equestrianism.

I RANGES NELSON
!. A PLEASING QUEEN
At THE COLUMBIA
Capable Presentation oi
Charming Pollock's Ro-
nance by Company.

Such a Little Queen" the romantic
play by Charming Pollock, that has
brought at least one actress to star
dom, is the presentation of the Columbia
Players this week, in the Columbia
Theater. There is much Of the romance
Of the old world in the story of the
drama, though it is given a modern, and
metropolitan setting.
AS the exiled queen of Herzegovina,
who, in her coronation robe. cooks din
ner In Harlem fat. and mashes pota-
toes with her scepter. Miss Frances
Nelson Is charming. and gives a ca
pable delineation of her part. Her &C
cent Is reminiscent of FRITZ Schieff, and
at no time. even in the most dramatic
passa ges. does 1t fail her. Personally,
she Is excellertly suited to the role of
the queen, and she is especially satisfy
ing in the love scenes.
As the debonair Stephen ". King
OF Bosnia, betrothed for matters OF
state to the Queen, Henry Mortimer is
excellent. He looked every inch a
king in his gorgeous uniform, and his
emotional work was excellent. Too
small part was assigned to Emelie
Melville. who assumed the role of the
domestic in the Harlem fiat. Her char
acter work cannot be surpassed, and her
dialect was equally good.
Miss Jessie Glendinning is sweet and
winsome in the part of Elizabeth Lau-
man. daughter Of a pork packer, in
search of a title for his daughter. and
Everett Butterfeld. as Trainor. the Am
erican. In love with the queen, but fully
aware that he didn't belong held the
attention Of the audience throughout the
play.
There are several minor parts, all ex-
cellent. including these of Lauman, ably
Interpreted by George W. Barber,
Count Mazovic. by Louis Morrill,. Duke
Rivincia, by Theodore Harvey, and
General Myrza. by Stanley James.
The scenic accessories are excellent,
especially in act w. showing a moon

FIRST OFFERING OF
,ABORNS IS RECEIVED
WITH ENTHUSIASM
Aida Is Sung With Miss
Aida Hemmi in Title
Role.

The enthusiasm with which the Aborn
English Grand Opera Company was re-
ceived last night at the National where
Aida" was presented as the opening
bill of the season. argues well Tor the
success Of the engagement which IL to
contribute much to the pleasure of the
summer. Perhaps the general public
has not yet had time for reaction from
the two weeks of French opera. The
attendance on the opening night was
not all that 1t might have been. But
those who were present certainly made
up In artistic appreciation foS what
ever they may have lacked in numbers.
1t was a rather conspicuous fact that
Christian Hansen, who took the part OF
Rhadmes, should have been uncertain
whether an English grand opera COM
pany was expected to sing in English or
Italian. Since his English was alto
gether unexceptionable. 1t is difficult to
understand why he should have seen Mt
to break off into the original Italian to-
ward the latter part Of the opera
Finds Prompt Favor.
The title role was sung by Miss Aida
Hemmi, who won instant affection in
the hearts of the music-lovers present.
There was a bell-like quality TO her
voice which left but little to be desired
while her histrionic ability was thor
oughly in keeping with the excellence OF
her voice. 1t was nothing short or an
ovation with which the strong third act
was received.
IT Is praise enough to say that Miss
Mildred Rogers "Amneris'' quite shared
uRrnOpi and
tabIished herself in the appreciative re-
gard Of the people for the summer OF
music which opens before them Mr..
Hansen, saving and excepting the ao-
erration-or whatever 1t may have been
which inspired him to sing In two lam
guages-won the warmest appreciation
in the role Of Rhadmes: No tenor VINO
has recently been in Washington has
created a more favorable impression.
and II seems cetain that he will more
than uphold the traditions of the or
ganization to which he belongs.
Minor Roles.
The Amonasro of Edward Skeddon
combined volume with clearness of tone
so far as the bushy Egytian beard
would permit. George Champion, George
Shields, Valcleft Cooper, and Ella Wise
man should receive minor mention sole
ly on the ground that they were as
signed minor roles.
The augmented orchestra, which is
necessarily an important part OF the
success OF sch an opera, is an impress
sive aggregation Of skilled musicians,
led in a truly mastery manner by Car
10 Nicosia. The chorus. which is ample
in numbers, has been well selected. The
members not only have an attractive
but the fact has not been
overlooked that they should also be
able to sing.
The stage setting was all that was
necessary for purposes OF atmosphere.
Certain scenes. in fact, were nothing
less than rich, and on the whole pre-
served a fair degree Of historic ac-
The success of the season seems as
sured, as II well might be, from the
genuine merits of the company.

That typical American amusement,
which appeals alike to the young and
old, the circus, delighted two large au-
dienoes in Washington yesterday, and
will do so again today. This year 1t
is Ringing Brothers circus, and these
men have an amusement enterprise
which appeals to all clsss Of people, and
no matter how blase or sour one is,
there is something in the Ringing
Brothers circus this year, which will
appeal to the interest of every one
visiting the show, and give satisfaction.
There were no bitches IN the perform
ances yesterday, and everything moved
with mathematical exactness. The coz
tunes are new and attractive. and all
OF the animal cages look as II they had
Just come from the hands of the paint
ers.
Menagerie Wonders.
The menagerie is large one and con-
tains specimens Of both rare and we'll
known animals. Usually the monkeys
and elephants are the chief source Of
attraction in a circus menagerie, but
this year the baby camels and the little
lion cubs attracted the most attention.
while a dwarf elephant. in a large in
Cubator. also came in for general ap-
proval
Then there are the usual side shows
with curiosities from all over the world
to startle and amuse the people.
A Wen-Balanced Bill.
The circus proper this year is made
I'D of a well-balanced bill Of novelties,
and there is no one act which could be
called a thriller. but that in no way de-
tracts from the performance. Much
fault has been found in past seasons
with the three-ring circus because one
could not possibly watch all of the
three rings at once. The Ringing
Brothers have solved the problem. and
acts Of the same class appear in all of
