EDITH TAL|AFERRO
WINS AUDIENCE IN
ROLE OF REBECCA
Delightful Comedy of Sun
nybrook Farm" Full of
Tears and Smiles.

To those who saw last night at the
the New National the first production
I'm the Capital of "RcbeCCa of Sunny
brook Farm" the success of this de-
lightful little comedy elsewhere Is
easily understood. Clean and whole
some, with comedy and pathos so inter-
woven that one finds oneself wiping the
eyes and laughing all at the same time,
with an appeal that grips all classes
and ages alike, 1t teaches it's lesson of
sunshine and good cheer so entertain
ingly that, as some one has expressed
1t, the three hours spent watching
the merry-hcarted little heroine win
her way into the hearts of the stern old
aunts, is as good for one as a weeks va
cation
Three years of RebeCca's life is COW
cred in the play, but 1t took less than
that many minutes last night for win
some little Miss Taliafcrro to find the
soft spot in the hearts of all who saw
her. From the moment the rumbling
old coach was pilOted onto the stage and
up to the gate of the brick house, and
the little guest "pOked' her head out
of the stage coach door ready to be wei
coined, those "out front" were her
friends and never did any school girl
surrender more fully to the seductive
charm of Kate Douglas Virgins Re-
becca stories than did the audience to
the fascination of this little stage
counterfeit of the heroine of the books.
Not only does the youthful star look
the part of the girl just at the growing
up age, but she seems to live the role,
so natural is the transition from the
child, who early in the play sells soap
to Mr.. Aladdin" to the young woman
who just at the last asks him to wait
for his answer until she is Just a little
more grown up. She is the same at
tractive Edith Taliaferro. the Capital
remembers some seasons ago as Polly
of the Circus, but, like the RebeCca she
portrays, she has grown up some as an
actress.
With her is a cast that is uniformly
good. Archie Boyd, who plays the part
of the stage driver, jeremiah Cobb, was
prime favorite last night and his por-
trayal of the genial, warm-hearted old
Uncle Jerry" was perfect. Marie l..
Day was an ideal Aunt Miranda, and,
without exception, the rest of the sup
port was good

GAYETY

THE College Girls" with Lillian Gra-
ham and Ethel Conrad, recent principals
in a sensational episode in New York
served to pack the Gayety yesterday at
both performances.
Abe Reynolds, as the Hebrew. and Ed
Rodgers. as the Irishman, carried off
the comedy honors, while Alta Phipps
as the college widow, sings a number of
songs in an acceptable manner. Miss
Graham and Miss Conrad have song
number. Other members of the COM
pany who fill their roles in clever man
ner are Clara Hendrix. Edna Maze, May
Walsh, Walter Johnson, Harry Prescott
ard George Leonard. a featu of the
performance is shown at the conclusion
of the tipst act, when the Honeymoon
Express" carrying a crowd of players
on the observation car, departs on a
Joyous trip. The song hits are 'Ephlam' $
Brass Band" Diamond Babe"
and What Can I Do to Ma Ike Your
Love Me-" Violin ragtime solos were
rendered by Beatrice" who was re-
called several times.

ACADEMY

Paul Armstrong must have been keen
observer in his police reporting days,
because the characters in his Alias
Jimmy Valentine" which is this week $
Offering at the Academy, are remark
ably true to life. The Armstrong char
aCteriZations, plus some novel and at
times dramatic situations borrowed from
one of O. Henrys stories, combine to
make a play in which the interest is
always sustained, and occasionally in
tense.
Jimmy Valentine, well played by Ed
mund Elton in the Academy production,
is freed from his life of crime through
the accidental interCcssiOn of a bank
ers daughter, who, by the way, proves
TO be one of the best little leap year
lassies ever Having reformed Jimmie
and given him a nice job in her father =
bank, she sets her trap for him, and
lands him forthwith.
Doyle, the detective who dogs Jimmy
in spite of his evident intention to re-
form, is so true to life that one Won
ders why Burns or the Pinkertons don t
put him on the trail OF real robbers.
In the scene in which Jimmy opens
the safe to rescue the little sister of the
girl he loves, and Doyle is ready to ar
rest him, and then refuses to do his
duty because of the love affair the
audience breathed a sigh of relief, be-
cause everybody thought the cruel
Doyle was going to take Jimmy back
TO the dungeon. The play is well worth
seeing. The Princess said 1t was great

CHASE'S

Continuing its policy of presenting
only high class acts for patrons,
Chase's this week offers a bill that met
with hearty approval of those attend
ing the opening performances. The
headline number is one of unusual
merit in music and comedy. 1t is a
tabloid musical comedy of the orient,
"A Persian Garden" with Louis A.
Simon, a comedian well known in
vaudeville, and Kathryn Ostcrman,
charming coincidence in the leading
roles. On these two stars rests the
bulk OF the work, carrying the comedy
and furnishing the laughs. The action
takes place in the garden of the Amer
lean legation, at Teheran, and the stage
setting is a brilliant one. Among the
musical numbers that won encOres
were My Little Persian Rose and
''Who Sent Those Persian Plums?'
AS the valet to the new minister, Mr..
Simon repeats his former successes as
a comedian, while Miss Ostermans
charming manner won her new ad-
mirers.
Helen May, as Rose Madison, was
heard to good advantage in vocal num-
bers. The large company is d capable
one. Edwin Stevens and Tina Marshall
present a musical vaudeville that
ranges from musical comedy TO the
legitimate. Travesties on Shakespeare
both. AS Dick Swiveler. in THE Mar
ohioness," Mr.. Stevens was at his best,
while Miss Marshalls Interpretation OF
the child of poverty was excellent.
Carice Vance, the Southern singer,
has a new repertoire of songs, one of
which, MY Hats In the Ring" was
received with rounds of applause. The
-Four Londons present one of the most
daring aerial acts seen at this house,
their oOp-the-loop casting sOmersaults
bordering on the sensational.
Haydn, Borden, and Haydn are eX-
Ccllent entertainers in an original way,
their singing, dancing, and instrumental
numbers getting them repeated curtain
calls. Charles and Adelaide Wilson, as
The Messenger, the Maid, and the
VIOLIN" complete the bill.
The phOtOplanc presents a series OF
interesting pictures, among them being
President Taft signing the bill making
Arizona a State; also meeting of the
President and his Cabinet.
The Washington times., 1912-03-12
CASINO

Sam Curtis and his company OF nne
singers head the bill at the Casino this
week in One-act musical farce en-
titled "A Session at School" The play
let affords the singers opportunity to
exploit their voices and comedy talents.
During the action of the piece, Curtis
sings several of his song successes in
cluding IF All My Dreams Come True"
Baby Rose, "Chicken Rag" and MY
Lady Angeline."
OF especial interest to Washingtonans
Is the act of f. Lawrence Phillips and
Frank Huseman, well known to base
ball patrons and wrestling devotces OF
this city. Delaphone, billed as the man
who can initiate anything from a baby
to an elephant, won continued applause.
The DCtor's Dilemma" served as a
Nehicle that aboundS in laughter, and

LYCEUM

Ono Of the best burlCsQue shows of the
season opened a weeks engagement at
The New Lyceum yesterday when the
"Cherry Blossoms" made their annual
bow 70 Washington audience. With
Jack Perry, who is the author of the
two burlesdu"s. as the principal come
dian, the show has more life than the
average performance. A number of good
male voices, jlsssted by the hest look
ing ChoruS seen at the mouse in months,
went toward moking the performance Il
good one. The company Is large, and
most of the songs are new ones The
Olio consists of four numbers. Frank
Dolson, billed as IAN eccentric come
dian" was th2 star feature of the
UEo. The living pictures of Adam
ana Eve. ana the Garden Of Eden" :"
made a decided hit with the two au-
dieEccs which packed the house at 5Utn
performances.

THE COMMON LAW"
WELL RECEIVED BY

The Common Law" adapted by an
unknown from the novel of the Same

schtCd ny Al II. Woods, is the attraC-
tioh at the Columbia this week. large
audience, comprised in part Of those
VINO nave read the Chambers novel,
was present last evening, and at times
llbefalIy applauded the production.
Inc stage version of THE Common
Law Is neither as good nor as bad as
the book. The adaptation deserves
praise because the subject Of proposed
common law marriage, with its locale
In an artists studio, has been so deli
cateIy handled that II does not offend
On the other hand, the dramatic inter-
est in the plot lags in several instances,
notably in the last act, when thcr is an
ordinary ten-twent-thirt scene between
the girl In the case, the artist, and the
latter's naughty mother.
Consents to Marriage.
N"thcr finally consents in a pYrring
voice to a real marriage between her
son ana his model. a suggestion she
had lepclI"d 4 few months before with

The plot of the play has followed in
talrly consistent manner the plot of the
novel, so whatever shortcomings there
may be, perhaps should not be held
up against the unnamed adapter nor
the cast. On the whole the production

courageous type, ana gave faithful
portrayal of the role assigned to him.
Magnetic Stage Presence.
Miss Margaret Greene. who is the
Valerie West of the pieCc-the would

stage presence, and was well cast az
the model. Miss Maidel Turner did
some really excellent work as Rita
Tcvis. Her naturalncss was delightful.
DohI Davies got quite a hand" in her
chorus girl part, and Edward Lang
ford was convincing as the Consump-
tive brother artist of Louis Neville, the
hero OF the piece.
Brandon Hurst was a typical villain

Thomas =. Gay contributed occasional
comedy rClicfs. Tho minor parts are
in fairly capable hands. The Sisters

mo IRISH NEED APPLY
Montclair Woman Discriminate
in Advertisement for Servant.

NIontclair, n. J.. Sept. 2s.--'No irish
need apply" was the unusual stipulation
made to-day By Mrs. J. p. Grant, of No.
% North Mountain avenue. in an adver-
tisement which she inserted In The Mont
clair Times" making known her desire TO
employ a white servant girl at wage OF
k55 month.
Mrs. Grant. who is the wife Of New
York broker said her objection TO the en-
ployment Of natives OF Ireland was a per-
sonal matter. She said she was not aware
that there was any general objection to
Irish servant girls among her acqua!nt-
ances. Mrs. Grant declined TO give her
reasons for Directing TO the employment
Of an Irish domestic.
The advertisement caused considerable
amusement among local housewives. many
OF whom are unable 10 engage domestic
help OF any kind. The scarcity OF servant
girls in this town vas never greater than
at present, ii Is said.
