EFFORTS TO RAISE
DRAMAS STANDARD
Mrs. A. Sarr Best and Miss Alice N.
Houston Address Meeting
of Local Center.

Efforts being made throughout the
country by the Darma League to raise
the standard Of the drama were de-
sCribed last night to a meeting of about
100 members of the Washington center
Of the league in the PubIk Library by
Mrs A Starr Best. Of Evanston. ILL.,,
chairman of the national organization
committee. and Miss Alice NJ Houston
chairman OF the Chicago plagoing com
mittec.
The league approaches the problem in
two ways-by organizing and education
among the theater-gOing public and by
the organization Of those who have not
been attendants on the thrater. and
teaching them the highest ideal Of the
drama. 1t also conducts a sort OF
censorship Of current plays hyissuing
bulletins approving the plays it considers
meet the standard of merit.
II was suggested by Mrs. Best that the
Washington Center emulate the Chicago
Center by celebrating Shakespeare 5
birthday. April ., by holding a festival
in which the school children represent
some of the Shakespearean plays.
Mrs. Best told of the organization of
the nontheater-going public by the league
through the education of the children,
their parents, and even their teachers.
and Miss Houston described the work the
league is doing for the play-gOing element
by educational work and through its bull
letIns which she said We're welcomed
not only by the patrons of the theater,
but by the managers of the productions.

and was received in the real spirit pf
joviaIity Of which 1t Is thoroughly
worthy. All the famous characters OF
the pictures appear in their ludicrous
aspects, and the result is an entertain
ment Of variety and novelty, which is
4 capital fun maker. full of amusing
situations presented in an original and
delightful fashion.
The first act shows the domiCilc of

the college boys. and the "Krazy Kat"
were laughable in the extreme. The
scene of the second act is the restaur-
ant in which the head OF the Dingbat
family is employed. Dingbat. as the
waiter, keeps up a continuous roar with
his many unique methods of service and
his humorous repartee and quips and
jests.
There are, of course. musical and
dancing interpretations of pleasing
nature. One of the engaging musical
numbers was "Oh. What a Beautiful
Dream" rendered by the Petite Sisters
and in turn by all the principals, re-
ceiving much applause. Il Love to Hear

FINE ARTS BODY
TO GIVE LECTURES
Society Faces Problem in Handling
of All Who Desire to
Hear Talks.

There can be no complaint from lovers
Of art that the Washington public is
lacking in an appreciation for art. In
fact the appreCiative spirit of Washington
ians has become somewhat OF an embar-
rassment to the Washington Society Of
the Fine Arts, and the society is Won
dering how it is going to accommodate
the hundreds who have applied for ad-
mittance to the first lecture of the winter
season that is to be held tonight under
the auspices OF the society.
This lecture will be held in the audi
torium of the New National Museum
which has a seating capacity of about
800 but applications for tickets have
come pouring in until over 100 have
been issued and what is to become OF
the overflow of enthusiastic art worship
ers. the heads of the society do not
know. This is. of course hattering but
none the less disquieting to the society
which is loath to deny a seat to anyone
wishing to hear the lectures.
The great masters will be treated in
the series of discussions this season. The
first of the uorld's great painters to be
discussed will be Michael Angelo, on
whom DR.. II. H. Powers. Of Boston, will
lecture tonight. The doors will open
promptly at I O'Clock, and as there are
no seats reserved, the first 500 in line will
be the ones to get the seats.
In December and January, Mr. Chafin,
well known as both a writer and lee
turer, will talk on Rembrandt and We
lasquez., and later in the year the lee
turers will take up Millet. Durer. and
some of the great AmerianC painters.

CHASE'S.
Polite Vaudeville.

Anyone who goes to Chase's Theater
this week and finds nothing to satiate 4
dramatic longing Is hard to please. One
Is led 10 believe by the applause that
more persons will like this weeks bill
than any other, since the opening Of the
new house. and this despite the absence
from the list of players of any one
whose name gets three foot letters on the
bill boards
To many Theodore Bendix and his or
chestra will have the most appeal In
the writer's memory no better music has
ever been heard on a vaudeville stage.
The programme was selected in accord
with popular taste, including selections
from Brahms, GODDARD, Sarasate and
Dvorak. BY far the most popular selec-
ton was the ever tuneful, appealing
''Humoreske' A cello solo from
'Jocelyn'' was also a delightful number
The only thing to criticise was that there
was not enough, for 1t is rare that one
hears such chamber music on a vaude-
Vile stage.
But Chase's gives the public a real nov-
city. 1t is a sketch called And They
Lived Happy Ever After" There Is as
little sense to the act as there Is to the
name, but nevertheless, 1t is new. II there
is anything under the sun that isn't got
the paint rubbed OF. The peace Is from
the pen of Philip Bartholomae. The
scene is In the study OF a novelist, who
reads aloud the last chapter OF his novel,
just completed and while reading every
thing takes place, literally, which the au-
thor has created in his text. In the cast
are Conrad CantZen, Clay Clement, Jr.,
Helen Dubois, Fred r. Dix. Frances
Shannon and James Mace. The company
is especially good. and Miss Shannon es-
pecially beautiful
Frank Coombs and Ernest Aldwel are
here with a lot of songs which chey sing
well. One of the best things is the sing
ing of that old melody, Silver Threads
Among the Gold"
Harry Linton and Anita Laurence have
clever sketch called The Piano Store;
1t is just long enough, just clever enough
and not too clever to tire.
Nick Hufford and Dell Chain, The
CulIed Parson and the Minstrel Man. con-
tribute a lot OF laughs to the entertain
ment and thereby fulfill their mission.
Others on the bill are THE Clair
monts." who have an astonishing ladder
act. and Harry Devine and Belle VIII
liams, who do a sketch called. The
Salesman and the Drummer.
There is something about the entire en-
that pleases But those per-
sons who wear gloves at other times
than when 1t is cold, will go into costa
cles over Bendix and his orchestra, who
seem stingy with the size OF the pro-
gramme

THE NEW LYCEUM.
"Tcddy simond'. Auto Girls"

Teddy Simond's Auto Girls are the
attraction at the New Lyceum this week
in a two-act musical mixture, Married

of a plot in which a husband and wife
manage to get married to some one else
and thereby cause a lot of cOmical sit
uations. With a large chorus of pretty
girls wearing handsome costumes and
capable cast this is one Of the best bur-
lesque shows on the road. Mildred

Baker, was encored several times. while
Mildred Stroller made good with Wed

parOdies.
The second act had a number of good
musical numbers also Hazel FOrd's sing
ing Il Love No One but You" was very
good with good scenic effects The
comedy quintet was encored a number
of times by the enthusiastic audience,
as was also Bon La Loo by Bertha
Gibson. The dancing of Frank Grace
and Bertha Gibson was one of the best
features of the performance.
