PARIS Is SETTING
FOR NEW DRAMA
Mrs. Leslie Carter to Appear in Play of French Life.
Robert Edeson in His Own Work, and Rob-
ert Hiiard Stars.

Mrs. Leslie Carter will be the attrac-
ton at the Belasco Theater next week
in her latest successful play, Two
Women" by Rupert Hughes.
Two Women" affords Mrs. Carter an
opportunity to display her ability effec-
lively. In the first act she is seen as a
poor seamstress, the wife of Count
Remy de Margyl, who has wasted two
fortunes in dissipation, but who, under
the beautiful influence of Jeanette re-
gains his character and is making a
brave effort to relieve the poverty that
oppresses them. Just as fortune again
smiles upon him, she dies.
The second act shows the Bal Tabarin
in Paris, a scene presented with much
color and movement. where the artist
husband, now rich and famous, comes
to see a celebrated cocotte, Jeannine
Bartet, who bears a striking physical
resemblance to Jeanette. The remain
ing acts serve to show the woman's
awakening from her sordfd life to a
realization of more womanly things.

.SOTHERN At BEST
IN HAMLET ROLE
Impersonation Is Monument
to Years of Painstaking
Study.

Whatever Z. H. Sothern may essay
in new productions, his Hamlet
probably will stand for some time as
the highest attainment of his profess
sional career.
His enactment, as seen at the Belasco
last night, with Miss Julia Marlowe as
Ophelia. had the satisfying qualities Of
perfect assurance and thorough study,
One may disagree with Mr. Sothern,
but to do so he must be prepared to
present stronger argument. No part
of this actors impersonation Is left to
chance whim. Some say this academic
pense OF inspiration. That theory could
not have been proven by attendance at
the performance last evening, for the
audience time and time again broke
into spontaneous applause in recogni-
ton OF the actors work.
1t rather seems that IL Mr.. Sothern,
having attained nearly perfect technical
expression, is now ripening and mellow
ing his impersonation so that It begins
to gather more poetry as the years 90
by. 1t is likewise conceded that he has
today attained the position of one Of
two leading figures in the presentation
of this role. Forbes-Robertson is his
only dangerous rival.
The differences between the Robertson
and Sothern impersonations seem large
ly a matter of conception rather than
of merit. The former actor has that
rare quality of giving outN ard express
sion to emotions with an almost imper-
ceptible expenditure of means which is
not possessed In so full measure by Mr.
Sothern.
The Ophelia Of Miss Julia Marfowe
must be set down as very nearly beyond
reproach. Few actresses could SO ade-
uuately express the contrast between
the simple girlishness Of the pathetic
heroine in the early acts and the infinite
pathos of her shattered reason toward
the end Of the play.

NICER THAN POWDER
EASIER TO APPLY

Mrs. Mae Martyr. writing on beauty
subjects for the Los Angeles Times,
says: Society women everywhere are
discarding paints and powders and u.s.
ing liquid preparation. which is easily
applied and dries quickly. giving the
complexion n soft, pink and white glow
impossible with powder or rouge.
AN excellent and trustworthy lotion
for the complexion can be made at
home by dissolving ounces spurmax in
n pint hot waeer, then adding tea
spoonfuls glycerire.
This recipe is popular among many
social leaders, as it IS impossible to
detect, and after being applied does not
rub off like powder. nor does it require
further attention. 1t is inexpensive and
easy ~ make, and every woman should
give Il a place on her toilet table,

Ths TyroI is situated in the Western

MISS ELLEN TERRY.

The lecture OF Ellen Terry. England S
foremost actress, at the New National
Theater Thursday afternoon, February
is. at 4:S0 o'clock, bids fair to be one of
the most notable amusement events Of
The Washington season. T. Arthur
Smith, who has the engagement in
charge, reports a large advance sale.
Miss Terry has not been seen here
since her memorable tour as co-star
with Sir Henry Irving. She probably is
better informed in regard to the hero
ines Of Shakespeare than any other liv-
ing woman. She presents her story IN
so interesting a manner that, aside from
the scenes from the famous plays which
she illustrates bv assuming the charac-
ter and acting the part. the lecture it
itself is likely to command widespread
attention

Appeal in Mica Case
Lost BY Government

The Court of Customs Appeals has de-
cided adversely to the Government in
its appeal from the board of general ap-
praisers in the case of an importation of
mica by F. W. Myers & Co.
The board sustained the contention of
the importers that the merchandise in
question was manufactured mica, and
dutiable at cents a pound and 20 per
cent ad valorem. The Government ap-
pealed on the ground that it was manu-
factured and dutiable at 10 cents a
pound and % per cent ad valorem. The
decision Of the board was affirmed in an
opinion by Judge Hunt yesterday.

Chicago and three in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hilliard brings an elaborate
scenic production, and a company of
