THE ACADEMY.
Bernard DAILY In "Dion O'Dnrc.' :,

One OF the best Of the many romantic
| Irish plays is "Dion O'Dare," with Ber-
| rsrd DAILY in the honor role which open
| ed at the Academy last evening and gave
genuine pleasure to an audience which
flied every seat in the house. The piece
/. is styled a musical comedy drama, pre-
senting an Irish singing star, with all
Irish characters and the entire action OF
the play laid in the Emerald Isle. II is
musical because Mr.. DAILY sings several
Irish melodies that fit deftly into the
story of the play; II is comedy owing to
the wholesome humOr of its situations
and melodramatlc because Of the color
and somewhat exaggerated action in its
tense moments.
of the cowardice and baseness of gem
tleman william who has enticed an I'M
sophisticated girl into an elopement and
then left her alone with their little
daughter to go back to his family estate
and marry a charming young heiress
whom her father has betrothed to him.
The heiress. masquerading as her COM
panion's maid, goes down from Dublin
to Mrs. ODare's inn, near her fiance's
estate. to discover for herself what sort
OF a man he is. OF course, young O'Dare,
the ideal Irish youth: joyous. singing,
and artistic, a diamond in the rough,
saves the life of the heiress upon sight,
and she finds him unusually attractive.
Then begins their romance, full of trials
and doubts.
Bernard DAILY is as good an actor as
a singer. He portrays the character
istic Irish youth with much fidelity and
freedom. Although Mr.. Daily seemed to
be laboring under the handicap of a cold,
his songs, especially THE Fairies of Ire
land" and "A Rose of Yesterday were
thoroughly enjoyed by the audience.
Edith Norman is very pretty and
pleasing colleen. early winning the in
terest and appreciation of the audience.
Hazel Harroun is a most winsome and
clever little heiress; Mrs. Mort Emerson a
realistic Mrs. ODare of the type re-
quired, and Grace Norman, as the little
waif. is excellent. The two Williams.
Capt. Morgan and his agent, are made
sufficiently scoundreIly by w. II. Town
send and William Currier. The rest of
the cast is well taken care of, and the
settings are pretty and deserve special
mention.

THE CASINO.

Daniel Frohman's great presentation OF
Sarah Bernhard and her famous
French company in Queen Elizabeth.
perhaps one Of the costliest and most
carefully constructed films de luxe, as
it is unquestionably one OF the finest
specimens of tragic acting ever seen in
a photoplay, drew immense houses To
the Casino theater yesterday afternoon
and last evening. Its story deals with
the unhappy love OF Englands great
queen for the Earl OF Essex and the
counterpart OF his love for the Countess
of Nottingham. In all Of its scenes the
wonderful art OF Bernhard the world
empress of tragedy is faithfully and i'm
pressively reproduced.

instrument that gives a good account Of
itself, and Hammond and Forester in
monologue and ''double-barreled mirth,
making an enjoyable entertainment.

or two will probably be knocked of.
An umbrella carried over a woman, the

When the man has the umbrella and
the woman the drippings, II indicates

To swing your umbrella over your

To put an alpaca umbrella by the side
of a silk one signifies Exchange is no

From the Boston ADVERTISE.

ION thc BOSTON AGVer1lscI.
Berlin has an enterprising chief OF
police named Jagow. who is interested
in enforcing al of the laws all OF the
time. which is one Of the curious Gus
toms of the German nation. The chief
of police has been somewhat baffied by
the tendency observable among the taxi
cabs OF Berlin to exceed the speed limit
Of sixteen miles an hour 1t has been
found that some OF the drivers are not
very observant of the law, especially
when there Is fare aboard Offering
extra 'trink-gelt" for extra speed. At
such times the Berlin cabmen forget
themselves and "open her up There
have been many of the drivers fined for
going too fast, and the chief OF police
has decided to do something more than
fine the drivers. He has discovered no
doubt with the aid of experts, which is
also a Germai custom, that 1o-horse
power is quite sufficient to develop a
speed of sixteen miles an hour and Is
not likely TO develop much more. Hence
forward taxis will be licensed to do bust
ness in Berlin provided they do not ex-
coed 10-horsepower.
The experiment should be worth watch
ed on the part of the authorities Of
American cities who are interested In
the problem of keeping down the speed
of motors. There are still too many ac-
cidents due to high speed in driving
through American streets and roads.
Statistics show that these accidents are
rather on the increase than otherwise.
II is true that there are more horseless
vehicles in operation than ever before,
but still II is reasonable to expect that
human safety shall be respected. The
suggestion has been made before that
there should be some way found of auto
matically limiting the speed of motor
vehicles. 1t is just as well to have
the Germans make the experiment as
1t Is just as well to have people of
the same nationality make the diction-
aries. but there Is no reason which
should prevent Americans from making
use of the experiments which the Ger
mans try out first.

THE LYCEUM.
"ZaIIah's own Company"

''Zallah's Own Company" was the mag
net for two large audiences at the New
Lyceum yesterday matinee and night
With a cast that would do credit to
some of the higher-priced theaters, Zal-
lah has returned on her annual tour.
and IL seemed to be the unanimous opin-
ion that this is the best burlesque show
seen in Washington this season.
Among the members of the cast are
some of the best-known figures on the
burlesque stage to-day. Ike Wall, Harry
Bentley. Charles McAvoy, and William
Jones, and then on the feminine side
there are Lena La Couvier, Ina Dell
Brooks, Norine Holmes, and Belle and
Gordon. 1t. goes without saying that
they made a hit, while the beauty ard
grace of Zellah's dancing must be seen
to be appreciated.
There are two parts to the perform
ance-"A Cabaret Rehearsal and THE
unkissed Oriental" with a number of
scenes in the first part and also an ex-
celent olio. In the cabaret number a
lot of specialities were introduced.
Among the best were songs by Lena La
Couvier, Ina Dell Brooks, and Norine
Holmes. William Jones and chorus were
good in the "Hold-up Rag" and the
Folly Quartet made a hit with their
popular songs.
The best thing in the performance,
excepting Zallah, of course, was the
rehearsal scene, with Ike Wall as the
Property Man"
In the olio Charles McAvoy and Ina
Dell Brooks were given a lot of applause
in their song and comedy talk turn.
Lena La Couvier sang several good
songs, and Belle Gordan as an athletic
girl, gave a good exhibition of bag
punching.
Zallah has the title role in ''The I'm
kissed Oriental" She is one of the most
beautiful women on the stage to-day.
and one OF the most graceful As the
princess she has been forbidden to speak
or dance until she knows what love is.
