and Novel Role Suits
Zelda Sears.

A new play and a new star in the
theatrical nrmanent will be the attrac-
ton at The National Theater next
week. Zelda Sears is the star, and The
Nest Egg" is the title of the play.
Miss Sears is remembered for her as
sociation with the plays of the late
Clyde Fitch, and for the various anus
ing types she created to har1nonize with
the Fitchian touch and atmosphere.
THE Nest Egg" is a quaint semi-ruraI
comedy, and centers around rural types.
surrounded with native settings.
Miss Sears has many times appeared
before local theatergoers. and although
her name has not been in big letters
on the bills, she has proven herself a
star by her clever work along unusual
ideas of comedy. That she will make
sood this time in a piece of her own
Selectlon is assured, surrounded as she
players. Vi
The Nest Egg" is built on novel lines
and the story is of the experience of
country dressmaker in a rural COM
munlty. 1t offers plenty of possibility
for the unique work that Miss Sears has
always been identified with
She is supported by an able cast,
among whom are Charles Gotthold,
Charles Lane. Julian Barton, Walter
Young, II. Bratton Kennedy, Blanche
Hall, Evelyn Warden, Isabel Randolph

hANON WILL OPEN
WEEK Of OPERA At
BELASCO THEATER
New Orleans Company
Comes to Capital for
Two Weeks.

An important event in Washington's s
musical history this season will be the
engagement at the Belasco Theater this
week of Jules Layolle's French Opera
Company, of New Orleans.
This organization is widely known,
but it was not until last spring that the
management decided on a trip through
the larger cities of the country at the
conclusion of the New Orleans season.
Opening the engagement, Massenet's s
'Manon" will receive its first presenta-
ton in this city. When sung at the
Metropolitan Opera House last winter,
with Geraldine Farrar in the title role,
it created a sensation. The name part
will be played here by Mile. Marie
Louise ROLAND, who originally. created
the role in Paris, and the selection of
"Manon" as the opening bill seems
very appropriate.
During the engagement the sensational
opera 'Thais,'' in which Mary Garden
was such a rage, will be presented, as
will Gounods "Sigurd." Massanet's s
"Herodiade," and ST. Saens' Samson
and Delilah.''
The repertoire for this week will be
as follows: ''Manon," Carmen" mat
inee, La Traviata;" Les Huguenots,' -
La Boheme." "Sigurd;" matinee, Rig
oletto;" "Lakme"

RICHARD THE THIRD
SPLENDID CLIMAX
OF MANTELL'SWEEK
I'm Strictly Tragic Lines He
Displays Marked
Brilliance.

Robert Mantells performance o.
"Richard III'' at the Belasco last night
was a splendid climax of his week o.
Shakespearean plays. Mr.. Mantell, who
previously had done Lear, Hamlet, Or
lando. in 'As You Like It," Richelieu
1ago, in "Othello," Macbeth, and Shy
lock in THE Merchant of Venice" had
in Richard III a larger opportunity
Tor display Of his versatile talents than
In any other of the roles in his roper
toire. He used the opportunity to full
advantage.
In the strictly tragic lines he was bril-
liant. In the remarkable scenes of his
Iove-making with the widow, he dis
played power and swiftness in portrayal
of seemingly variable humors, fiendish
in their capriciousness. Mr.. Mantell was
easily leader of his players, easily the
master of the stage. He played with
consummate art and with a bold origi-
nality of design and execution that
made his performance unusually notable.
A particularly pleasing characterize
ton was Leila FrostS Duke of York.
Marie Booth Russell played with her
usual adequateness as Lady Anne.
Agnes Elliott Scott was good as Eliza
beth.
A Shylock of such vividness lived be-
bolS lllS dNultHS6 pEOQuCIlOn
of THE Merchant of Venice" yesterday
afternoon as has not been seen in many
days. Eyes with the glare Of hate, the
Croak OF malignant passion, and de-
moniac snarls, marvellous in MantelT s
power of concentration, showed him in
such amazing variety and expression
that when he left the stage he left his
audience enthralled. Mantell refraius
from holding up to his audience a Shy
lock who is a victim of religious enthu-
Siasm, as many Shakespearean expo
nents do. Their version has impaired
sympathetic interest in the character
OF the money lender, and so centered the
whole play about him that when he
has made his exit the curtain has prac-
ucally gone down. The Mantell produc-
uon does not confine itself to this mis-
directed and limited Interpretation. The
morose and malignant usurer. thrust
by Shakespeare into a play of love and
chance and money bags, in order to
serve the purpose solely of a stage viii
liam, is a hard-hearted wretch in Man
tell, enriched by usurious loans and
seeking the life of the merchant who
lends without interest and is of the
Christian race, from which came one
who took away the Jews daughter and
some of his misery hoard. Throughout
Mantelrs lines there is always the voice
OF avarice.
Marie Booth Russell, as Portia, SUI
perbly gnwned, did not rise to the
heights required of this character Her
habit of unchanging register mars some
what the delivery of the lines, and the
entire cast falls below the standard set
in Hamlet. One thing that was re-
ireshlng in yesterdays production was
the elimination of the low comedy
scene between Launcelot and his father
a grateful word should be placed here
in appreciation of this satisfactory
omission.
