THE NEW LYCEUM.
"GirIs from Joyland."

At the New Lyceum Theater this week
Sim Williams is presenting the Girls
from JoyIand" in Flirting Flora and
The Rich Happy Heine." Harry L.
Cooper, the Well-known German come
dian, bears the majority OF the work in
the comedy parts OF both. His success
is well attested by the rounds OF applause
which deservedly greeted his work. He
is ably assisted by Messrs. West. Bulla
and Gray. while Misses Edwin and Nice
care for the leading feminine roles. The
two parts are as devoid Of plot as the
usual burlesque show. The cOstuming of
the chorus the blending of colors and
the lighting effects show capable direc-
ton.

acted by Miss Catherine Henry and Miss

Henry handles an unusually difficult role
in style worthy of the highest praise
and Miss Blair's impersonation OF a ten
derloin belle is good. Mr.. West, as
the man-about-town. has opportunities
which he makes the most of. The Olio
concludes with Edwin and Flester in an
act billed as grand opera condensed to
vaudeville in which their efforts are re-
warded by the appreciation of the audi
ence. In the second part an exhibition
OF posing by models is noteworthy. There
are seventeen musical numbers, in which
the chorus performs well.

CHASE'S.
Polite Vaudeville.

Six acts and the Boy Scouts make up
the bill at Chase's this week. The Boy
Scouts seem to have been featured be-
, cause OF the interest taken in their
organization by society and public-spir-
tied citizens so yesterday many came to
! see the scout act, and during the week
many more will come and witness how
boys light fires, boil water in paper. fry
bacon. and mend a broken leg, If any
should be broken. Many persons. Of
course, will not be interested, but as the
''ScoutsN is an added attraction, the bill
! can carry itself without.
The average person will enjoy Emily
Darrell and Charles Conway in their act,
Behind the Scenes" more than any
thing on the bill. The very novelty Of
the Darre!l-Conway act makes II a fea-
| ture Mr.. Conway sings some good
songs, and Miss DarreITs comedy is Of
| the breezy sort just suited for a music
! hall audience. 1t has more laughs than
any other thing on the bill.
or course. Bud Fisher and his cartoons
of the everything Mutt and Jeff' should
not be overlooked. Mr.. Fisher draws
romance and tragedy IN the lives OF the
two old friends in two scenes. Then, to
| add to the gayety. he draws a number
of characters in the audience. He says
nothing during his entire act, which
comes as a relief after hearing the or
chestra pound away all afternoon on the
various musical acts.
The J. X. Murray-CIara Lane company
presents a singing act in which are
sandwSched opera and Irish melodies.
Mr.. Murray sings unusually well, and
Miss Lane gives some selections from
the operas. which are far better done
than the Irish folk songs
Another musical act is billed as Mile.
La TOsca and company. There are three
in the piece. A boy plays a cello well.
Mile. La Tosca sings just as well. and a
man in the act plays both a clarinet and
a fate with unusual ability.
When one has owned a house cat and
has attempted to train it one will appre-
ciate how hard the cat is to train, and
it is said that of all animals It is the
most difficult to teach. Some one has
asCribed this fact to its creative instincts
rather than initiative. But Mile. Techow
has a few cats that she has trained in
simple tricks, and the cat act to many
will be one of the features of the per-
formancc. None OF the animals are the
kind that one has for pets, because that
kind won't be taught anything.
Edgar Berger, who opens the perform
ance, is billed as the flexible equiIibrist.
and he is all of that. His act is a good
curtain raiser.
For the first time Mr.. Chase shows the
kinemacolor pictures. The film shown
yesterday was the recruiting of Greek
soldiers ard some of their maneuvers
The colors are natural. and the pictures
are easily the last word in the photo

NATIONAL
.Ihe Pink Lady,

Last season Washington musical COM
edy patrons were delighted by a second
edition of that far-famed queen OF her
kind. ''The Pink Lady" but it remained
for the large and exceptionally enthusi-
astic audience at the National last night
TO enjoy this charming young woman at
her brightest and best, for Klaw and
Erlanger have now sent US the original
company and production, and the pros
verbal word to the wise should be suf-
flcient. II you care for the very best the
realm OF musical comedy boasts don't
miss THE Pink Lady"
"A musical comedy de luxe" the press
agent tells us, and II is that and more.
You probably know that c. NJ. S. McLel-
ian found the inspiration for a most
amusing story in the French farce SLe
Satyre' by Georges Berr and Marcel
Guillemaud; that in the process of
adaptation he eliminated anything that
might offend. leaving only clean. clever,
laugh-making situations, and that, with
his well known and happy faculty for
writing clever dialogue, Mr.. Mcclellan
has woven in The Pink Lady a CO.
herent and therefore unusual story, and
a story that becomes more entertaining
with every twist and turn.
And, Of course, you are familiar with
the delightful quality OF Ivan Carlyle
melodious score. There was not a num-
Der among the eighteen comprising it
that did not earn several encores last
night. You have heard the Beautiful
Lady times without number and never
tired Of II. but when Miss Dawn sings 1t
then you really hear 1t for the first time
Miss Dawn is the original Claudine, The
Pink Lady" par excellence. and II is only
one of her captivating personal charm
who could effectively visualize the char
acter. Miss Dawn is also blessed with
vocal gifts of a high order; she has an
excellent soprano which she uses 10 ad-
vantage In her several numbers, and
particularly in the Beautiful Lady"
No more thoroughly ludicrous perform
ance than that given by Frank Lalor. as
Dondidier. has been enjoyed here in
long time. Mr.. Lalor is legitimately.
consistently. and constantly funny.
Playing opposite him. as Nine. Dondidier,
is Alice Hegeman. whose angular antics
further her reputation as an expert CX
ponent of the unique in comedy char
acterizations. Miss Hegeman's gyrations
are marvellous to behold and most ef
fectiye iR their mission OF laugh-making.
Jack Henderson sings well and dances
better as Lucien Garidel. scoring especial
~ in his I'm Going to be Married in
June" number. Jed Prouty, who visited
us last year, returns as Bebe Guindolph
to repeat his former success in THE Girl
by the Saskatchewan" TO say nothing of
the now famous catch line. "Oh! how I
hate you" Craufurd Kent keeps the
farce pot merrily boiling as Maurice
T'Irzac. and Eddie Morris is the Crapote.
Alice Dovey is dainty and delightful as
Angelo. Miss DOvey, whom Washington
audiences have not had the pleasure of
seeing since the days of THE Summer
Widowers," scored especially in her sec
enc act number, Hide and Seek with
Mr.. LaTor.
The Pulchritudinous chorus and the
sumptuous settings are all that has been
said of them.

BELASC0.
1.-THE Drone."

The first production in the United
States Of Rutherford Mayne's comedy,
THE Drone," was honored at the Belas-
CO Theater last night, with a large audi
ence which for more than two and a
half hours tried patiently to find the why
and wherefore of the play and get some
inkling OF what was in the authors s
mind and intentions When he wrote it.
The plot-if the halting story Of the
play may be so denominated-is of the
most attenuAted character. Daniel Muir
ray, a lovable, utterly irresponsible old
bachelor. has lived for more than twenty
years in his brother Johns home, and
during all that time has pretended to be
engaged in originating and perfecting
some wonderful invention, from the ulti-
mate sale Of which he is to reimburse
this brother for all the expense he has
caused him. AS matter OF fact, he has
done nothing all these years save read
newspapers and take life as easy as
possible. He is the drone in the hive
Through the visit of Donal Mackenzie
a Scotch engineer, the wOrthlessness Of
his alleged invention a bellows, comes
near being disclosed He is saved by the
intervention OF his niece, Mary, who
persuades the engineer by her wiles to
declare that the bellows is a valuable
property. Andrew McMinn. to whose
sister Sarah, Brother John In an un-
guarded moment has. made a proposal
of marriage, as a result of which
breach of promise suit for thousand
pounds has. been threatened, accepts it
in full settlement of the suit-and the
play is ended.
The action begins and ends in the
I-it-haV, Of hr MnrruyTfE T1hnrISP
With the one exception of the Drone, the
characters are commonplace. Whitford
Kane gave the central figure, Daniel, an
admirable setting. In appearance and
expression he might have served as the
fiesh-and= blood type OF that equally
lOvabls and irresponsible creation OF
Dickens-Harold-in Bleak House" 1t
was his impersonatiOn that lifted from
time to time the dead weight and slim
ulated the audience to A little laughter
The others did the very best they could
with the tasks assigned to them. Mar
garet Moffat was most winsome as Mary
Murray, whose rather lackadaisical love
affair with Alick McCready was galvan-
lied by her into something bearing the
semblance Of the real article. In this
she was ably seconded by John Camp
bell. as Alick. Nellie Wheeler is quite
realistic as Kate, a slatteTnly but jolly
servant girl; and Margaret O'Gorman Is
more than natural as The shrewtsh
spinster with matrimonial intentions
upon John Murray. in which part Robert
Forsyth was equally successful. Alec
F. Thompson, to whose share fell the
role Of Donal Mackenzie; Joseph Camp
bell as Andrew McMinn, and Stanley
Gresley as Sam Brown, completed the
cast, to whom is due all the credit for
whatever satisfaction was derived from
the performance.
