ABORN SINGERS AT
NATIONAL DELIGHT .
WITH OPERA 'M|GNON'
French Classic Pleases
Large and Appreciative
Audience.

Followers Of the Aborn Company were
given a treat last night when Miss
Louise lie Baron, remembered for her
remarkable work In ii Trovatore, as
Azucena, sang the soprano role of Mig
ncn" at the National Theater. Miss lie
Baron, has usually appeared in contralto
roles, and II was an agreeable surprise
to her audience to hear and see he rto
such advantage, for not only is she the
possessor Of an excellent voice but also
she is an actress of more than usual
ability.
The management is to be consratu-
lated on the choice of this opera, for
coming as It does In the midst of such
unexpected warm weather, its tunefui
melodies and plot so pleasantly free
from the bloody melodrama one looks
for In grand opera, are soothing and
agreeable.
The role Of Filins. the coquette, is OF
almost equal Importance to that OF
Mignon. and the part as handled by
Miss Alice Kraft was quite a success.
Music lovers who remember the singing
of the famous Polonaise by Tetrezzini
here In Washington some time ago had
occasion to recall the golden notes of
that gifted songster when the strains
of that popular melody were heard. Al
though Miss Kraft was very pleasing
and In the earlier parts of the opera dis
played her clear soprano to marked ad-
vantage, her rendition of the Poionaise
was marred by an unpleasant huskiness
Albert Amadi, who sang the part of Will
helm Meister, has a tenor voice of good
quality, which won insistent applause
but II he has any ability as an actor he
did not display II at last nights per-
formance. The baritone, Wilmot G.
Goodwin, made a satisfactory I-othario.
Fein, remembered for his excellent
makeup and character work In Ma
dame Butterfly" gave his usual credit
able performance.
The setting of this opera gives oppor-
tunity for excellent scenery and stage
effects and were no disappointment 10

terheld as Ttllford Wheeler. Hecklar's
junior partner In the practice OF the law
In Jefferson ctunty, Ind, were both
leading parts which were handled ca
pHbly. Heckler, az the county conven-
ton. nominates TiIlford Wheeler for
prosecuting attorney unbeknown TO the
young lawyer, who is just out OF coll
lege. The opposition candidate Is Elias
Rigby, father OF Lucy Rigby, 70 whom
young Tillford Wheeler Is engaged to be
married. The marriage Of the young
people is threatened during the election
Ter fight, in behalf of his junior law
partner, again Elias Rigby.
For n while indications are that Miss
Rigby will not give her hand to a man
who is running against her fathers

or less humorous situation, as young
Wheeler II only the candidate" and
Jim Heckler Is doing the fighting. 1t
develops that Heckler's desire 20 elect
his young lawyer friend TO the office OF
prosecuting attorney over Elias Heck
Ter Is the result of a crossed love affair
between them which occurred when
they were serving together In the civil
war.
The roll of Lucy Rigby is handled well
by Miss Jessie Glendenning. Miss Nina
Melville is modest and sweet as Ducy's
mother and object of Rigby's and Heck
ler's love of years ago. Anna Parks
Warren is exceedingly funny as Mrs.
Jefferson Briscoe, keeper of the board
ing house. One of the cleverest and
best handled parts In The County
Chairman" Is that of Chick Elzey, por-
trayed by Pearl Havlin.

THE SEVEN SISTERS

COLUMBIA THRONG
Miss Violet Heming, as Mici,
Gives Splendid In
depreciation.

THE Seven Sisters" delightful
Hungarian comedy in four acts, dealing
with the marriage OF three elder girls
to the end that irresponsible Mici may
wed. was well played at the Columbia
Theater last night and a capacity audi
ence awarded the performance its full
need of praise. ...
The performers seemed TO have at
tained with remarkable fidelity the
characterizations that are the chief
charm of this play. Miska Sanderfiy,
the hair-brained lieutenant with a PEN
chant for his superior officers wives,
was given a new life in the interpreta-
tion rendered by Godfrey Matthews.
In the last two acts, where he
appears in a gentle glow of inebriety,
the actor, without accentuating offen-
sively the alcoholic condition required
OF his part, gave splendid portrayal
and kept the audience laughing from
entrance to exit.
Little Miss Violet Heming, as the in
genue Mtci, Is deserving Of praise for
her delightful naive. Dancing and sing
ing her way through the four acts she
won the hearts OF her auditors and In
the climax at the third act. when, after
safely marrying her three older sisters
by a variety of craft. she denounces
her own methods and declares herself
willing to marry for love alone" size
met with power the momentary tense
emotion of the scene.
Feri Horkoy, who finally weds Micl
after her older sisters are safely out
OF the way" was we'll played by Ed
ward II. Robins. while the ridiculous
mannerisms OF Tony Telekl and Baron
Gida were adequately emphasized by
Arthur Richie and ]. Hammond Daley.
Concerning the plot of the play, which
many have seen before, only word
need be said. Following the Hunga rian
custom, the eldest daughter OF the
family must be married before her
younger sisters can we'd Horkoy, who
loves Mici, aids and abets her in vali-
Gus shares whereby his brother officers
are led to the altar and when after the
older sisters have been married and the
secret leaks out that their husbands

their example and wed Horkoy, believ-
ing that 1t will only be another con-
ventional marriage. or course II all
ends happily.
a director with a sense of proportion
staged the performance splendidly. the
second and fourth acts, within the
castle walls OF Baron Radviany's home
being especially worthy Of mention.
Snatches of Hungarian melody during
and between the acts. added to the
spirit Of old world realism.

my left thigh was suddenly affected by
eczema, also my chin and face. After one
or two days 1t would become dark brown
crust or scab sometimes about one-eighth Of

was a sad sight to see, all scabs. People

COSMOS

Although in celebrating their third an
niversary last week the management Of
the Cosmos Theater put on what was
believed TO have been the best program
yet given there, this week the six num-
bers of vaudeville presented are Just as
attractive and strong as the program
of last week. Two large crowds at
tended last night.
The Four Ellsworths are the head
liners. They give The Rejuvenators"
in a manner that won approval. Their
skit is a concoction of mirth that Is very
effective. Miss Margie Hilton's colonial
doll act was a sharp burlesque on au-
tomatons, and the song and dance was
most delightful. The Weston sisters
sang several songs that won applause.
Their dancing was clever. George r.
Lauder and company gave a ventrilo-
auistic feature. Usually such features
are received with but average apprecia-
ton, but LADDERS work Is such that
II must be appreciated. Restivo. the
italian accordion player, was well re-
ceived.

Julia Murdock Says Weber-Ffelds
Jubilee Is Delightful Concochon

II was just like old times to have
Weber and Fields kid the audience up
to the point of living in constant ex-
pectation of the long dead sausage joke,
and then have them crack 1t in an en-
tirely new and unexpected manner.
Just as the audience had about given It
up, Helena Collier Garrick made her
appearance with the string OF sausages
about her neck-then everybody knew
the joke was coming. She had used
them first as sweet violets," then later
as a muller, for the night was cold
and the snow was falling fast, and
lastly, when William Collier picked II
up, It had barked and bitten his hand.
Then everybody was satisfied.
1t was the same old joke we had
heard In our infancy. and we have

no longer be Weber & Fields. These two
jovial gentlemen had come into their
own once more. The audience recog-
nized this fact, and settled back to en-
joy their foolishness in the Belasco yes
terday, knowing that there were many
more old friends to come, The joke re-
ceived tumultuous applause; which, In
itself was a tribute to the Weber d
Fields jubilee.
