BUTTERFLIES WIN
MUCH APPLAUSE IN
IF | WERE KING" "
Mrs. Taft and Daughter and
Minister Egan Witness
Performance.

The fifth. and what promises to he
the most successful week of the engage
ment of the Butterfeld Players at the
Bclasco opened last night with an elab-
; orate production of Justin Mccarthy s
If l Were King
An audience that filed the playhouse
and included Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen
Taft. Maurice Francis Egan, United
States minister to Denmark, and other
notables, witnessed the performance.
Aside from the work of Everett But
terfield, in the leading role of Francois
Villon, made notable by L. II. Sothern,
the most distinctive acting of the play
was done by Walter Wilson, cast as
Louis XI. The audience was unstinted
m its applause of the work of this
player.
Miss Jane Marbury made her debut as
'Butterfield Player and deserves credit
for the manner in which she handled the
DIFFICULT role of Huguette du Hammel
Her acting Is picturesque and the aban-
don with which she swings about the
stage made the scenes in which she ap-
peared more realistic.
While the range of dramatic posi-
bilities of the role OF Blanche are not
large, Miss Alice Parks Warren, a
fermer Washington girl, made favor
able impression. Miss Warren, who
played the role of Mrs. Tilford. the lat
ter part of last week in Fifty Miles
from Boston, was with the original
George M. Cohan company in the same
production: Miss Warren, a former
member of the Columbia Players com
pany. has played leading roles also with
r, H. Sothern, Julia Marlowe, Viola
Allen. and was for several seasons with
Richard Mansfield.
The leading female part in "If Were
King" that Of Katherine de Vaucelles,
was portrayed last evening by Miss
Nine Melville and her Interpretation OF
the reserve yet faithful lady-inwaiting
to the Queen of France was notable.
Others who won frequent applause were
Miss Anna Bates, as the aged mother of
Villon; Frederick Forester, as Tristan.
and Charles LaEe as Thibaut.
The stage settings for this perform
ance are handsome and realistic.

VERDYS AIDA SUNG
BY ABORN COMP ANY
At THE NATIONAL
Miss Abercrombie Scores in
Title Role Before Large
Audience.

Nerdfs great opera Aida" was sung
before a large audience at the New Ma

Aborn company. AS a summer produc-
ton the opera was most effectively
staged, was we'll sung and with com
paratiVely minor exceptions Capably

ing the third act, the River Nile scene.
attested the genuine appreciation OF the
opera devotees present.
Miss Jane Abercrombie scored a
triumph as Aida. Her rich, mellow
voice was perhaps never heard to better
advantage since the Aborn players be-
came annual faVorites here. Particu-
and vocal standpoint, was Miss Aoer,
Crombie's work in the two principal
scenes with Rhadames.
Carlo Cartica was cast as Rhadames.
His excellent tenor voice caused one
TO forgive Mr.. CartiCas failure to avail
himself of the dramatic possibilities of
the role. At times, however, Mr. Car
tica acted as well as sang. and his
Celeste Aida" was we'll rendered and
received insistent applause. Mr.; Car
tiCa's excellent voice was especially ef-
fectlve in the tomb scene, although his
physique caused a treatergoer on the
second row to observe that ut s pity

Miss FRITZ Won Busing had the third
principal role last night, that OF
Amneris. The part was acceptably
played and sung, although Miss Bus
ing's natural beauty was more effective
than her singing.
Under the schedule of alternating
principals the leading role will be sung
tonight by Miss Kristoffy (Aida); Miss
Jane Herbert (Amneris), and Eugene
Battain (Rhadmes).

Julia Murdock Praises Production of
Burnett's "The Daqvn of Tomorrow"

musician of no mean ability, as was
demonstrated last evening, when she
gave a charming little song, "The Owl
and the Pussy Cat" to her own ac-
compartment. She had the part OF
Mimmi playing opposite Miss Aline Nc
Dermott. as Madge DeLorme, the fe-
male friends OF young oliver Holt, a
role in which Godfrey Matthews was
seen to excellent advantage.
The part OF Sir oliver Holt as TAX en-
by George w. Barber was ono OF the
best pieces of character acting yet Of
fered by that excellent member OF the
company. His role showed conscienti-
Gus work, and careful attention to
detail that resulted in a finished piece
of acting.
The Lord Tommy, of ]. Hammond
Daley, Is just what II should be, the
beginning of an interesting transforma-
tion In young man who, II seems,
had brain after all.
Other Characters
In Competent Hands.
The three doctors. specialists in nerve
disorders, as taken by John NJ. Kline,
Carson Davenport and Arthur Richie
formed an excellent background for Mr..
Barbier's acting. although Mr.. Ritchie
who also took the role of a thief. did
much better work later in the play.
The person who made the remark that
"she had her marriage lines, as good
and tight as Queen Alexandra" which
showed that she had the right to be
knocked around legal by her husband"
was Bet, played by Miss Julie Blanc,
who gave an interesting and convincing
character study. I liked her black eye
last night II was work of art, and
the costume which she decided upon as
evidently fitting for the role was by far
the best conception of poverty OF the
sordid, squalid type. Glad's rags were
artistic, but Bets were human and nat
ural.
There Is a large supporting company,
which Is excellent. Last evening Miss
Violet Heming. who is the new ingenue
Of the company, was in the audience.
She Is rehearsing this week and will
make her first appearance with the CO.

Stage Manager Edwin Curtis and
members of the Columbia Players have
combined in giving Washington play
goers something exceptional in Frances
Hodgson Burnett's 1.-THE Dawn of To-
morrow" which is this weeks offering
at the Columbia Theater. One of the
most realistic stage effects that has
been seen here this season, with the
possible exception of one of the scenes
In THE Blue Bird Is the one in THE
Dawn of Tomorrow" which depicts
the thick, pea-soup atmosphere OF a
London fog, In which everything Is OBJ
scured; where people walk about like
shadows, their lanterns flickering like
mufned glowworms, their voices sound
ing hollow in the darkness.
The wistful, optimistic, albeit some
what hopeless character of Glad, the
London waif whose simple philosophy
OF happiness brings life and insplra-
tion to all who come within the radius
of her presence, is the part assigned to
Miss Nelson, who imbues her role with
sympathy, and, In the stronger emotion
al passages with dramatic intensity,
Her naive outlook upon life. the COM
forting philosophy contained in her
words things amt never as bad as
you think they are-nothing's as bad as

man, and hope to another one, who
only needs a chance to be decent
something he has never had.
Several Surprises
In the Performance.
Admirers of Edward Hass Robins
were somewhat disappointed in the role
assigned to him. which was altogether
too small for one possessed of such
undeniable talent. As Dandy, he was
foroefully. especially in the .garret
scene. in which his great love for Glad
Is forcibly brought to him.
One of the delightful surprises of the
performance was Miss Carrie Thatch-
ers singing in the fourth act. Besides
possessing histrionic talent, which
makes her work as a character woman
a valuable asset to the company, she is

were they of all European com
petition that Europe was loath to
believe the achievements of these
two wonderful men, despite the
ample confederation of scores of
spectators of the highest charac-
ter of many of the 100 flights
which they had made up to that
time, but when in 1908, Wilbur
Wright in Europe beat all the
European records and showed a
materially greater ability as a
tlier than any European had
evinced up to that time their in
credulity vanished and he
achieved the premiership in this
wonderful art which all fair
minded students of the history
of aeronautics have since been
willing to concede him.
In closing, permit me to refer
to the very exceptional qualities
of mind which characterized
these two men, not less than
their wonderful skill. The aver
age inventor is eager to receive
pecuniary as istance and interest
capitalists in his invention. At
an early stage in their expert
ments, my oldest brother. a liber-
al patron of aeronautics, offered
these gentlemen pecuniary as
sistance, which they promptly
declined and ! myself, not hav-
ing heard of this till long after
wards, made a similar offer, al
though it was yelled in the guise
offering to invest in any security
they had to offer and |, also, re-
ceived courteous refusal.
They were proud, very re-
served, with a very deep sense of
personal dignity and independ-
ence and very rcticent and most
extraordinary of all, extremely
anxious to avoid newspaper no
toriety, which made it more diff
fcult for them to establish before
the world their claims as pioneers,
than this otherwise have been.

growing richer every year by
by millions. Extravaganza and
poverty, the history of the world
shows never did make good bed
fellows in a republic, especially
in the cradle of liberty. Because
of the ever increasing price of
the necessities of life, many
hard workers are becoming dis
satisfied and are turning to So
cialism. Thus it is obvious that
the high cost of living must be
solved. And the earlier the bet
ter for this republic. Which
party will settle it the Replican
party or the Democratic party
The Republican theory has al
ways been that the heavier the
tariff tax on the things eaten,
worn, or used by the people, the
better for that people. The
Democratic theory is that to re-
duce taxation is to reduce prices.
The people must choose between
these two policies, the policy of
protection or the policy of merely
enough tariff to raise sufficient
revenue to run the government.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
If the Republican party is
swept from power on November
5 on account of it's failure to
keep its tariff promises, it will
not be the first time that the
tariff operated to the same end
for the party of protection.
During the war the tariff had
been elevated to the skies but
afterward the Democrats tried
to have it reduced. In 1880 the
republicans had to notice the de-
mand. They promised down
ward divisions butin 1882 passed
a bill making only slight reduc-
tons. The public got mad
just like it is now over the Payne
Aldrich bill---and in 1884 defeated
the party and elected Cleveland
When the Republicans got into
power again they boosted the
tariff, which had been lowered
by the Democrats. Prices of
necessaries went up, the rank
and file became indignant and in
1891 again made Cleveland Pres
ident.
