den, for whom 1t is said the opera
was primarily written. According to
the critics, this is one of Miss Gardens
most vivid roles. Jane Osborn Hannah,
the American soprano, will sing the
role of Barbara, the Spanish maid, who
is loved by Lieutenant Merrill. George
Hamlin, the American tenor. is to be
heard as the lieutenant. Hector Du
Frame will be the Santa Barbara
priest. Mario Sammarco, formerly with
Hammerstein, will have the baritone
part of Alvarado, the Spanish wooer OF
Barbara, who IL murdered by Natoma
after the dagger dance"
The others In the cast Will incluoe
Henri Scott, Frank Preisch,. Armand
Crabbe, and Constantin Nicolay.
'"Natoma" is in three acts, the first
showing the home of Barbara on the
California coast: the second taxing
place in a plaza fronting on the mission
church in Santa Barbara; and the third
inside the church. While the plot ls
dramatic, the music has probably had
more to do with the success of the opera
than the story. The composer frankly
! endeavored to inject as much of sheer
melody and beauty into the opera as
possible; and It's record tells the story
, of his success. JULIA MURDOCH.

ENGLISH SOCIALIST
URGES SOLDIERSNOT
TO OBEY COMMAND
Militia Asked Not to Fire
on Brothers and
Fathers"

SALFORD. England, March 2i.--Be-
cause he urged the soldiers to refuse to
shoot their fathers and brothers" II
called out for strike duty, Tom Mann,
the most noted of all of the British
socialistic labor leaders, was remandod
to jail without ball here today. The
charge against him was brought by at
torneys representing tho war office,
and alleged that he had melted the
soldiers to mutiny.
Mann was not given opportunity to
present any defense today, the court
proceedings being very brief. After the
crowns complaint had been read, the
court adjourned the hearing for a
week. When attorneys for Mann asked
permission to furnish bail they were
CURLY informed that the offense was
not bailable at present
The government wants to keep Mann
behind the bars at this particular time,
as his Vitriolic utterances are greatly
feared with the temper of the working
people already strained close to me
breaking point Mann has recently been
advocating in all of his public speeches
universal strike on May l for the
munication with American, German, and
Finnish socialistic leaders on this sub
ject, and while he has not received the
encouragement he looked for, 1t is
known that he has the support of many
of the British Socialists.
The government also believes that
Mann is behind the agitation among the
railway employees who are now very
restless, and 1t was generally believed
today that every effort will be made
to secure his conviction on the present
charge to keep him off the platform for
some months to come.

COLUMBIA

The mystic spell that seems to weave
a charm about everything the Columbia
Players undertake, If one may judge
by the degree of enthusiasm nightly evil
denced in the Columbia Theater, will
have material assistance next week in
the product of the prolific brain of
Henry Arthur Jones, whose beautiful
four-act, comedy, Mrs. Danes De-
fense' is to be pr oduced. Mrs. Danes
Defense" will be recalled as one of the
greatest of the many offerings Of the
g-to-be-remembered Empire Stock
Company that for years occupied the
theater of that name in New York. 1t

stock production as every part pos
sesses possibilities that command the
most serious efforts of the most capable
actors. 1t will for the first time pre-
sent the new leading men, Edward Hass
Robins, in a role that is certain to es-
tablish him as a capable actor. The

CAST
At THE BELASCO
IN 'POMANDERWALK'
Comedy Without a Plot, a
Villain Without Any One
Wronged, Is Novel.

"Pomander Walk" will play its ini-
tial Washington engagement at the Be-
lasco Theater next week. That MIR.
Parker's beautiful play is refreshing,
restful, and entertaining to a degree
appears to be the general verdict. Most
of those who live within the city or
it's surroundings have walked through
just such locations as the walk in the
quaint little hooks and corners in some
old, sequestered, and highly respectable
sections of Washington, as well as they
have "out Cheswlck way'-and some
have wondered what manner of men
and women dwell therein.
This delightful comedy of English
manners Of the eighteenth century,
without a plot. without a villain, with
out anyone wronged, without incident
except the love affairs of the people
of the five little houses which make
up this colony away from the hurly-
burly of city life, appears to have
pleased immensely the temper and
tastes of the people. A beautiful love
sentiment makes up the dialogue of the
play, and the author keeps the couples
apart until the last act. when, with one
sweep, lie pulls the strings and brings
all to the happy conclusion.
The all-English cast will be idenu-
cally the same as was seen in the play
at Wallack's Theater, New York. where
1t ran all of last season.
