COLUMBIA.
The school for Scandal"

Two ever-welcome visitors came to
the Columbia Theater for a weeks stay
last night. One of them Is always sure
of a hearty greeting from Washington
audiences come she in whatever guise
it pleases her. Annie Russell has been
with us in many protean changes, but
II may be doubted IL she ever was more
captivating than last night in the char
acter of Lady Teazle in Richard Brins-
ley Sheridan's inimitable comedy, The
School for Scandal" the other welcome
visitor 1t is not at all strange that this
old play has not lost its hold on the
public of our day, for it presents the
good as well as the bad points OF the
human nature with unfailing truth and
directness. 1t shows that in the days
gone by as in our own time and gen.
GRAFTON the slanderers and backbiters
and talebearers swarmed in fashionable
society; that character was picked to
pieces by idle and malicious tongues
Just as il is today, and that no man and
what is worse-no woman is safe from
the venomous gossip, but that the higher
and the nobler and the purer the sub
ject. the more eager these reputation
killers to stab and tear TO pieces. The
whole tribe of Crabtree Backbiters,
Bumpers, Snakes. Sneerwells, Candours,
and Joseph Surfaces is as active today
as when Sheridan held them up to
scorn and ridicule.
Miss RusselIs Lady Teazle is most
delightful impersonation. She gives II
Just the right proportion of good humor
tinged with a dash of abandon, and in
her scenes with Sir Peter she allows the
young wife's respect and afTectiop to
shine through the assumption OF frivolity
and extravaganza. 1t is stage picture
of which one never tires, but which,
with every repetition, gains new interest.
In Miss Russell's company there are
two familiar faces. Ffolliot Paget and
Oswald Yorke. the former being cast
as Mrs Candour, the latter as Charles
Surface. Both were admirable in their
respective roles, and like commendation
can be given to Florence lie Clercq as
Lady Sneerwell, Henrietta Goodwin as
Maria, Fred w. Permain as Sir Peter
Teazle, Murray Kimmell as Joseph Sur
face, Leslie Austen as Sir Benjamin
Backbite, +. Pefrcival Stevens as Crab
tree. Littledale Power as Sir Oliver Sur
face and all the others in the minor
parts.
The play, which is Miss Russelrs own
version, is magnihcenuy mounted and
Miss RusselTs gowns are models or
elegance. All the other costumes are in
equally good taste

The Keith bill this week is decidedly
entertaining, chief interest centering
in Sophie Tucker, ragtime singer OF
unique personality and original meth

Tucker makes a melody mean much.
and ragtimc in her hands receives its
full expression.
Paul Armstrong presents his satire
on the feminist fad. Woman Proposes"
which shows conclusively "a la George
Bernard Shaw, but without Shaw's bril-
Iiance) that woman woos man. The
sketch is rather amusing, but Mr..

happier results. Ruth Allen and Leon

leading roles.

Abe Reynolds and His College Girls.
Two capacity houses greeted Abe Rey-
nolds and his college Girls" yesterday
at the opening of their weeks engage
ment at the Gayety. That girls are
capable OF making regular ''rah, rah
boys was shown by the life and dash
the chorus put in the college songs.
Abe Reynolds is the same old Abe of
old, except that he is even funnier than
in previous years. He is a whole show
himself once he gets under way, and
there is never a let-up in the laughter
that he provokes from the audiences.
Next TO Reynolds, Miss Dolly MorTissey
does the best work. She has an eXcep-
tionally good voice and is a clever dancer.
She was forced to respond TO several
well-merited encores.
A distinctive feature of the perform
ance was the musical speciality by Cleo
Lewis. She proved herself a violinist
Of exceptional ability and won instant
favor. The principals are supported by

year. 1t is well drilled and elaborately-
costumed, and to it belongs a large share
OF the popularity the show won.

INQUEST INTO PANIC DEATHS

Calumet. Mich, Dec. 29.-Intervention

The deportation of Moye- did not receive
one-tenth the attention today in the COP

The Meyer incident seems to be respon-
sible for causing the serious consideration
by persons outside of the district of the
advisability Of a Congressional investiga-
ton. But that incident. the residents
claim, Will be fully Investigated by the
grand jury, which convenes tomorrow,
and the persons who deported Meyer
brought to trial.
The allegation made by Meyer that he
had information that a man wearing a
button OF the Citizens Alliance was re-
sponsible for the panic which caused the
loss of seventy-two lives at Italian Hall
on Christmas Eve was not borne out at
the coroners inquest at Calumet today.
twenty-five witnesses were examined and
seVenty-five will be heard from before the
inquiry CLOSES. The witnesses were all
strikers or members Of their families and
none OF them testified to having seen a
button OF the Citizens Alliance on the
man who started the panic.
