AMUSEMENTSLAST NIGHT
New National.

On the stage Of the New National
Daughter OF Heaven" a poetic drama,
presented with such spectacular complete
ness that the sheer beauty of the stage
compels admiration, apart from the story.
The effort to interest the English-speak-
ing auditor in the ideals and emotions of
the Asiatics involves peculiar difficulty
They are strangers. different in so many
ways that the imagination at first re-
fuses to receive them into the fellowship
Of loving, hating and sorrowing humanity.
Their attire is beautiful and their GUS
toms are picturesque. The Daughter Of
Heaven" presents wealth of costuming
! that dazzles and amazes, no less than
the elaborate scenery that affords re-
| splendent background to the display. Stu
pendous effects are employed to visualize
a story of tragic, dignity. The display
| overshadows the narrative until the very
last scene, when burst of poetic beauty
occurs, so brilliant and yet so touching
that 1t gives dramatic vitality to the en-
tire performance. The situation is
wrought out with cumulative force. The
love forbidden by a sense of duty is the
central theme, which leads to the reve-
lation of sublime self-denial. The empress
VINO has been conquered refuses the
love OF her conqueror and confesses her
means Of the poison she has forced him
as a man of his word to give her. In
this scene the dialogue takes on more
strength than 1t has shown before.
The play is in three parts and In spite
OF the enormous amount Of material en-
ployed the performance progresses rap
idly and smoothly. Part one is devoted
to interiors and gardens, depicting the
two shows a scene outside the pavilion
of the empress and the battlements near
the walls of Nankn. Here is depicted
war with all it's terrors, and with a
woman personally in command of troops.
The curtain descendS on a funeral pyre.
with glowing embers, roaring flames and
sparks ascending to the sky. The effect
is very similar to that employed In the
scene which portrayed Joan of Arc as a
martyr at stake in production by Nor
gan Sherwood at the same theater some
years ago. 1t is a powerful spectacular
climax.
The story is one of singular nobility,
presenting as it's motives love without
Jealousy or suspicion and devotion to
duty that halts at no sacrifice. Only
a poet with gifts comparable to those
of Rostand could give it CONVINCING
human energy. and only translator
with rare literary facility and with
some resourcefulness in invention on
his own account could effect a salts
factory transfer into another tongue.
On stage crowded with characters
two figures stand out supreme, the
empress and the conqueror. The
feminine role is played by Viola Allen
with characteristic dignity, and that
of the man is assumed by Mr.. Ian
Maclaren, in manner that commands
close interest. The most elaborate at
tention is given to all that mechanism
and establishment could supply in
creating an impression Of Chinese
splendor. Yet the characters them
selves stand apart from the illusion.
Al
which studies of racial characters
tics, after all, can add but little.

Belasco.

After an absence from Washington OF
four years, Miss Annie Russell returned
to the Belasco last night In the guise Of
an old friend, Kate Hardcastle in "She
Stops to Conquer and with her. OF
course. brought dear old Tony Lumpkin.
Mrs. Hardcastle. Hardcastle, Constance
Neville, Hastings, Young NARROW. Dig
CORY, and all the other characters whom
memory has made dear in this delightful
English comedy Of long ago by Oliver
Goldsmith.
Miss Russell and her husband, Oswald
Yorke, who played Young NARROW last
night. have not been seen here since they
played "A Midsummer Nights Dream
and Twelfth Night" with the New Thea
ter Company four seasons ago. 1t was
the first opportunity many Washington
ians had had to see Miss Russell as be-
wtching Kate Hardcastle, and they are
certain not to forget last nights perform
ance. Nor will they soon forget Mr
Yorke's presentation OF Young NARROW
which was one of the most finished piece:
of acting seen here in q long time.
Many actors could envy Mr.. Yorke his
voice. No account Of last nights per-
Torrance would be complete without thu
mention OF its resonance and power. The
dignity and grace OF his love passagel
with Kate could not fail to inspire in the
audience q moment Of tender appreciation
for the sentiments they portrayed, and
shared together were most amusingly
complete.
The distinction Of last nights perform
ance lay in the fact that Miss Russell
Old English Comedy Company, as 1t Is
called, is true to its name, SO far as
She Stops to Conquer Is concerned.
Her company did not find in the play an
opportunity for burlesque or farce. as so
this play. Boisterousness was fortu-
nately lacking, and George Giddens.
as Tony Lumpkin. particularly endeared
himself to his audience by not allowing
himself to make too much noise. he
was q most admirable mischievous rogue,
and took, with reason. much of the ap-
plause of the evening.
All the parts were we'll presented, par
ticularly those of Hardcastle, by Fred
w. Permain: Hastings, .,y Murray Kin
and Diggory, by Littledale Power. Hen
rietta Goodwin. in whom Washington
feels a particular interest, entered into
the role OF Constance Neville with vi
the servant parts had an opportunity to
distinguish themselves in the drinking
scene in the Three jolly Pigeons Inn,
and in their drill for expected company
by Hardcastle. The four scenes We're
well mounted and the costumes attract

The play will be repeated tonight. Fri
day and Saturday nights and Wednes-
day and Saturday matinees, and 1.-The
Rivals will be produced Wednesday and
Thursday nights. The theater last night
was crowded. the Washington Home for
Foundlings adding to the size Of the audi
ence because it's management was fortu-
nate enough to choose the occasion for
a benefit performance.
This afternoon Miss Russell will deliver
a lecture at the Belasco on 1.-THE Play
ers' View Of the Playgoer," under the
auspices Of the Drama League.

WILL AIM TO RELIEVE
CONGESTION OF TRAFFIC
Plans Nearly Ready to I'm
prove Conditions at South
End of Aqueduct Bridge.

The new Secretary of War will be call
ed on shortly to consider a plan devised
by an army engineer board to relieve
the congested traffic conditions existing
on the government reservation at Ross
lyn, Va. at the south end Of the Aque-
duct bridge over the Potomac river at
Georgetown That board consists OF Col.
H. c. Newcomer. Maj. Edgar Jadwin and
Capt. Mark Brooke, all Of the Corps OF
Engineers. on duty in this city. 1t was
constituted by former Secretary Stim-
son at the suggestion Of Gen. Aleshire,
chief Of the Quartermaster Corps.
The board has made a thorough study
of the subject, and has held several pub
lie hearings, at which the Alexandria
tons and the public generally were rep
resented.
The report of the board is now in course
of preparation, and probably will be sub
mitted to the War Department within
the next few days.
Although the plans of the board have
not yet been made public, it is known
that the engineers have devised tenta-
tive pan to get rid of the congestion
complained of. and to provide improved
facilities for the loading and unloading
Of passengers on the railroads at that
point.
These plans involve the removal of the
passenger stations Of both railroad com.
panies to points on opposite sides of the
roadway about 800 feet south of the en-
trance to the bridge. and doing away en-
tirely with freight traffic on the reserva-

Roadway to Be Expanded.

The roadway, which is now twenty
four feet wide at the bridge. is to be ex-
banded to thirty-five feet at the new sta
ton sites, and then gradually wdened
still more to the south end of the reser-
walton, where the road will be divided
into two roads, twenty and thrty-two
feet wide, respectively. to connect with
existing roads leading back into Vir-
ginia One of these roads will connect
with the Military road to Fort Myer and
the other probably with Chadwick ave-
nue.
Separate tracks are provided for on
the east side for service to Falls Church
and to Arlington and Fort Myer, re-
spectively.
A spur is provided for the Great Falls
and Old Dominion road on the west side
Of the reservation, for the purpose of ex-
pediting the loading and unloading of
passengers to and from Washington at
that point.
on both sides of the proposed roadway.
so as to facilitate the passage to and
from the railroad stations.
The main purpose of the proposed
changes is declared to be the Improve
ment of traffic facilities at the south end
Of the Aqueduct bridge, and 1t Is claimed
that good results will follow their adop-
ton So far the only serious objection
to the plan has come from the Great
Falls and Old Dominion Railroad Com
pany, which has applied for permission
to locate new station near the en-
trance to the bridge.

Polls.

may easily be taken out of a curdling

Floor Back playing at Polls this week
The play is a well chosen one, especially
for holy week" 1t is also unusually
we'll acted.
Thoroughly Jeromesque in both it's
knowledge of human nature and humor-
Gus touches; in its little touches of pathos
and inspiration, THE PASSING of the
Third Floor Back is a play that cannot
fail to interest, entertain and probably
teach. That the audience last evening
appreciated it at its full value was at
tested not only by the applause and
laughter which broke forth from time to
time, but also by the intense silence
which marked the deeper parts Of the
performance.
The story is that of a group of board
ing-house dodgers, who have grown into
a mean, cheating, selfish mass of human
ity. Their better selves, their more help
full hands, their virtues have been for
gotten in the depths of selflshness, when
"a passerby" takes a room in the house.
From then on all is changed. THE pass
erby,'' by his declaration Of faith in the
better selves of each of the boarders,
brings back their higher aspirations, and
makes them remember their virtues and
kindness. Possibly the moral OF the
play is an old one. but it is a gripping
one and told in powerful manner.
1t is doubtful if A. II. Van Buren, has
ever played more pleasing or better
fitting part than that of the passerby.'
All the others in the cast are good and do
themselves credit. The performance is
divided into a prologue, the play and an
epilogue

Senators Voice Protest Be hind Doors Against Arbit-
 ration Agreement.
EXPIRED ON JUNE 4
Say That Measure Has Tied Hands of Administration, Where Actions
 Should Be Taken.

Washington, June G.-Nine of the most influential men in the United States senate behind the closed doors of an executive session this afternoon voiced ther protest against tue re- newal of the arbitration treaty with Great Britain that expired June 4.
 They declared that these treaties tied our hands in every direction where American interests should be protected.
 The Bryan plan fer universal peace was sneered at during the discussion and charged with being responsible for the yielding to the demand of all foreign governments where American interests were at stake
 The senators said it was because of this that the United States was afraid to enter Mexico and protect it's own citizens; that the impression had been would net stand up for it's rights. It had led to the present dispute with Japan over the authority of the Cali fornia to say who should own it's soil. Senators asserted bitterly that this plan of arbitration had enabled Eng land to protest against our own con- trol of our domestic commerce and coastwise trade. Senator Chamber lain, who is leading the fight, said tonight that the treaty never would be ratified in it's present shape.
