at the New National this week of Rich

runner of one of our leading seasons.

production is Miss Hattie Williams,
both being in our midst under the gra-
cious auspices of Charles Frohman.
Also. with the Carle-Williams aggrega-
tion is william Danforth who furnishes
something like half of the action and
at least a: third of the fun in THE

others in the~company, but with the ex-
ception of Miss Anita Rothe, as Gabri-

edition OF dances in Washington, they
have but minor parts.
Joe Smith, whose dances have been
enjoyed by, as well as taught to hum

two new ones. His Sandwich Glide"
and his Tango" are terpsichorean
novelties of high qualities, and brought
forth prolonged applause.

POLL PLAYERS GOOD
IN BRADY'S DRAMA
Stock Company Gives an Able
Presentation of "The Girl
of the Golden West"

From the playgoer who saw the origi-
nal production of THE Girl of the
Golden West" the Poll Players, pre-
senting the drama this week at the
Pennsylvania avenue playhouse. will re-
ceive unstinted and merited applause
To say 1t is the best thing the stock
company has ever done might be ex-
aggerating, But to say ii is one of the
best things the players have presented
since their opening in Washington this
season cannot be denied.
A. II. Van Buren,. who made his first
appearance in Washington stock
company as the road agent in The
Girl" plays the romantic role of Dick
johnson this week, and wins now the
plaudits of old friends instead of new
acquaintances. The outlaw hero. doubly
romantic because of his Outlawry, but
stirring the better sympathies by his
underlying manliness. is pictured as
far more than mere figure of romance
by Mr.. Van Burens sincerity and ap-
probation of the more serious values
of the character.
Miss Jewel Has Good Role.
Izetta Jewel. as The Girl of the per-
formance. does extremely we'll She
has excellent opportunities. and rises
splendidly to her emotional climaXes.
The role is not the best suited to her
style of acting. however, as it is diff
cult for Miss Jewel to have an audience
accept her as the unrefined heroine the
character of The Girl presents
The character that stands out above
all others Is that of Jack Rance. por-
trayed by Mark Kent. The memory of
Frank Keenan,, who played the original
role. makes the task of playing it
seem doubly hard to those who saw
THE Girl when first presented, but
Mr.. Kent does not stick as closely to
the impersoHation of keenan, as did
others who have handled the role, and
SO appeared TO a better advantage.
Others Well Cast.
Frank Shannon handles John w.
Cope's character of Sonora Slim in a
regular rough-and-ready manner. Gra-
ham Velsey, as Nick, the bartender
fits in very well with the rest of the
cast. Dudley Hawley has an excellent
opportunity in the role Of Jose Castro,
and makes the most of ii. The charac-
ter of Woke the Fox and Billy Jack
rabbit are cleverly portrayed by Helen
Tracy and James Frawley. Thomas
Williams as the Sidney Duck. the card
cheat; Craig Weston. as Trinidad Joe;
Harrington Gibbs. as Handsome Char
lie, and j. r. Remers. as Happy Hail.
