Attendance Is Large
At Glen Echo Park

Sand piles. gyroplane, carousel, and
other out-of-door amusement at Glen
Echo Park are doing a heavy business
these cool autumn days. Ideal weather
for staying out in the sunshine all day
has been a strong argument in favor of
picnic parties at this popular resort,
and numbers of them flock to the
grounds every day.
Dancing. when it is fairly cool. is a
rare pleasure. and the excellence of the
floor and music at the dancing pavilion
in conjunction with the lowered tenn
peratures have drawn large crowds OF
young people every night.
The free open-air movies are well at
tended. while interest in the japanese
balls and candy racks does not seem
to abate with time The Ferris wheel
has proved quite a mecca for many of
the visitors who swOOp down all sum
mer upon the Capital, owing to the Sill
perb view of the country and the ri ~
which is to be had from its tOpmOst
point
Sunday there will be another series Of
concerts such as have been given. and
Labor Dav and the week following will
witness the institution Of free vaude-
vile with one big sensa tiOnal act added
to the attractions Of this resort

'D|VORCONS" KEEPS
AUDIENCE AMUSED
Columbia Players Well Cast
in Satire Translated From
the French.

"Diyorcons. the brilliant satirical
comedy on divorce. by Sardou, offt I'd
the opportunity OF the season to the
Columbia Players, and, from the ma
ture of the performance al the r
street playhouse last night, | feel that
am telling the whole truth and
SSthing but the truth when | say thar
they not only came up to the require
ments. but exceeded them. In Dl-
vorcons" the Columbia Players this
week give performance far above the
average stock production.
There are only three roles of import
arCe-husband. wife, and lOVer-played
by Carl Anthony. Helen Holmes, and
Everett Butterfield. respectively. Carl
Arthony's Henri Des Prunelles. the
husband. is wise, judicious, calculating.
but kind withal: Helen Holmes makes
Cyprienne sweet. impulsive. but clever
woman. with a fund of misdirected in
terest and energy; while Adhemar De
Gratignan, her lover and cousin. in the
hands of Everett Butterfeld, is what
the wife finally calls him. a fool and
an idiot.
Butterfield's comedy in this role is de-
rghtful. There is so much stage busi-
ness of a comic nature which tallies
with the lines that the role could very
easily be overacted and forced. This
Adhemar whom we see is sincerely
upset, fabbergasted outraged young
man. who doesn't learn the meaning or
the word ''dupe' until the last act.
Miss Holmes Natural.
Miss Holmes as Cyprienne is very
natural. thinks her lines. and, above all
that is to be commended. is not Miss
Holmes.
Somehow or other. Mr.. Anthony has
always Impressed ME as being a very
solemn sort of person. Just as some
people radiate smiles. or others a
crouch. this leading man radiates dig
nifty and poise. with very little quiet
humor. Last night the humOr was less
quiet and more marked, in apprecia-
tlon Of the game he was putting up on
poor Adhemar. while the dignity and
pois,. added the right amount of seri-
BUSINESS to the role.
lust q dash of il. gOu know-like the
seasoning in soup-enOugh to hint at
the danger of really losing his wife s
love. but no more.
This comedy is more like game Of
cards than anything else; it is played
trick by trick. the best played hand
wins. the heavy loser makes a fool of
himself. and, flip. all the hands are in
the discard.

'TR|LBY' WELL PLAYED.
BY POLL COMPANY.
Paul McAIIister. Izetta Jewel,
and Other Members Rise to
Opportunities.

Du Maurier's "TriIby" gave the Poll
PLAYERS the opportunity of a season last
night. and they rose to the occasion.
There was no evidence of the usual
let down at the fag end of the season.
Each actor was given the role best
suited to his or her capability, and each
put his heart into the impersonation.
Paul McAllister, long a favorite in
Washington, outdid all previous imper-
sonationS and held his audience. even
those who had seen Wilton LaCkaye in
the original production, by his close i'm
personation of the weird, mesmeric ia
natiC-SVengan.
He was not the Paul McAllister Wash
inCtOn stock patrons have come TO know
best-there was not a strut or a swag-
ger in his entire performance-he acted
as though he felt himself the intense,
warped fanatic spending his very life
ana the lives of others under his sin
lister spell on the accomplishment of
his dream.
Izetta Jewel AS Trilby.
So also did ''Trilby' discover a dif-
ferent Izetta Jewel. This always popu-
lar leading lady united comedy. ro-
nance, pathos, and tragedy in her con-
Ception of the picturesque role-as many
never believed she could. In her love
scene with Little Billy, in her self-sac-
rfice for his sake in her acting under
the influence" of Svengali, in the the
ater foyer scene. when she laughs at the
love Of Billy, she was CumulatiVely
good, but she rose to tragic climax in
her death scene, the victim, even after
his death, of the diabolical Svengali-
Thomas Williams, the pseudo Alex
ander McAllister. the laird. was PROB
ably never cast in role that gave
greater play to his versatility: From
the moment he first came INTO the stage
studio singing a scotch ballad, through
many changes from comedy to romance,
he was acting every minute with the
talent and sincerity that have made him
one Of the prime favorites with Poll
patrons.
All Characters Are Good.
Miss Helen Tracy. as the concierge,
had a part as well suited to her person.
alitv as to her dramatic ability. Adrian
H Roslev probably lent to the role of
Zouzou the most amusing moments of the
entire evening-and il was a long even
ing-though his biggest hit came
through a mischance. the misplacing Of
one Of his eyebrow mustaches.
Laughs were spontaneous at this
point but the few imbecilic filters and
senseless outlaws when SvenSah was
at his best in the gruesome death
throes that closed the third act were
noyance to the sensible minded big ma
tority who were strung to tense ap-
preciation of the powerful acting of
principals in that really tragic scene.
Mark Kent. Miss Louise Kent. Miss
Hazel May, Frank Shannon-all the old
favorites-thev were all good, but here
is the last laudatory mention saved for
Dudley Hawley He was little Billy.
and he played the part in a manner that
must have pleased even its author-the
famous Du Maurier.
