AT THE BELASCO.
KinemacoIor Pictures.

Two audiences of almost midwinter
proportions applauded the wonderful
kinemacolor moving pictures Of the
coronation festivities, presented with
lifelike exactness at the Belasco Theater
yesterday.
Several new reels were thrown on the
canvas. depicting phases of the great
pageant not before shown in this coun-
try. So clear were the films that every
lineament on King Georges face was
thrown in clear relief, while the gor-
geous dresses and other features Of the
parade lost nothing in the pictures.
Famous American battle ships, repre-
senting the best in the United States
navy. paraded before the eyes of the
spectators in the English Channel;
white-garbed tackles" swarmed up the
rigging; the American flag waved in the
breezes, just so plain that II seemed one
was looking on the actual scene. A
film that made a big hit was one show
ing the crown jewels, never shown in
Washington before.
Next week "Dante's Inferno" a
splendid picture. will be presented.

AT LOCAL PLAYHOUSES
THE COLUMBIA.
"The Liars"

In the days before Vaughan, Shaw,
and Barker of more than decade ago,
when Henry Arthur Jones reached the
high-water mark of modern English
comedy, he wrote "The Liars" now
commonly regarded as his masterpiece.
The Columbia players presented It last
night to an audience which paid ample
tribute to the vitality Of the drama and
the clever work Of the company.
''The Liars" is, indeed, a latter-day
classic which gains distinctly in COM
parison with some of the comedies which
have crossed the Atlantic the past few
years. Since Jones abandoned his earlier
manner, he has never been quite so sue
cessful as in that creative cycle Of which
THE Liars" was the most representative
product. 1t is poignant and rapier-like
in its satiric thrust, deft and dextrous
structurally, swift in action. and we'll
rounded in characterization.
The presentation was worthy Of the
play. The casting showed the pains
taking care that is characteristic of the
Columbia players, and larger scope and
opportunity were given them than in
several preceding weeks. Sir Christopher
Deering, a gentleman VINO was eternally
opposed even to the lighter forms of pre-
varication, was enacted by A. H. Van
Buren, and Lady Jessica Neapean, pre-
varicator-in-chief. was played by Frances
Nelson in a delightful comedy manner.
Everett Butterfield was intrusted with
the pivotal role of Edward Falkner,
whose hopeless love affair caused the
'indiscretion" which led to the heavy
trail of falsehood, and played 1t we'll
George w. Barber played Gilbert Nea-
pean. the boorish husband; Frederick
Forester assumed the role of George
Neapean: Arthur Ritchie was Freddie"
Tatton! and Stanley James was Archi-
bald Coke: Miss Carrie Thatcher was a
charming Lady Rosamund Tatton, and
Miss Jessie Glendinning and Miss Nina
Melville had excellent bits" as Dolly
Coke and Beatrice Ebernoe, respectively.
1t is by no means an easy task 10 etch
The Liars" in the sharp, sure, incisive
strokes of comedy and to maintain the
right balance Of the satiric element. In
the present revival, however, there is
never a moment when the piQuancy of the
episode progression is lost or the general
outline is blurred. The Columbia Players
have placed Washington playgoers under
debt of gratitude for reviving drama
of this quality, and was altogether ap-
propriate that the loving cup given to
them by the Edelweiss Club should have
been presented on such an auspicious first
night. A, NJ. J.

CHASE'S,
Polite Vaudeville.

With a bill Of which every act was a
headliner, Chase's Theater opened its
1911 season Monday afternoon to a packed
house.

goers. the Chase Golfers will be filled to

Mrs. Gene Hughes and company, pre-
senting the comedy playlet Youth" by
Edgar Allen Woolf, came in for the great
er share of the applause. Mrs Hughes, as

perpetual youth, and as result dons
shoes a la Cinderella and stunning girl
ish frocks which cause her to appear
years younger than her frumpish grand
daughter found a place square in the
middle of the hearts Of her audience.
The epigrams on women, age, and love,
which Edgar Allen Woolf places in her
mouth, are apt and clever. Her COM
pany gives her excellent support.

AFFECT STYLE OF DRESS.
Aviation VIII Lead to Wearing of
Trousers or Modified Skirts.

Chicago, Aug. A.-Miss Matilda Moi
SAINT, sister OF the late John B. Moisant,
declares that flying is not only a sport
that woman will adopt, but also believes
that aviation will directly affect the style
of women's dress.
"a woman" she said, who takes to
flying, a constant diversion, will not be
bothered with a tight skirt that prevents
her from climbing into the aeroplane
without the aid Of a fire company, or
with a wide skirt that makes a sail in
the wind. The genuine women flyers will
wear boots and trousers, but the fashion
able devotees will probably wear modi-
fled skirts. Then the aviation helmet
will undoubtedly be copied in the new
millinery Besides that the high-collared
double breasted Russian blouses will be

"THE MORAL CODE" PRODUCED.

New Drama Relating to Evils of
"Business Marriage" a Success.
Rochester. N. Y, Aug. 21.-The initial
performance on any stage of The
Moral Code" a new play written from
a story of the producers, Arthur Ham
merstein and Herbert Thomson, was
given at the Lyceum Theater last night.
The piece is in four acts and five scenes,
and is decidedly unusual. both in theme
and scenic setting. The story has to
do with the social evils that grow from
marriage from a business standpoint.
The play scored an emphatic success.
Mr.. Hammerstein has staged The
Moral Code" deliberately. Personal hits
were made by Mabel Roebuck as the
wife, James Wilson as the doctor. Orme
Calders as the lover, and Frank Hollins
in the principal comedy role.
