"A Pair of Skies"

Goodies is coming to town. Goodies
is one of the big hits in "A Pair of
Sizes" the farce success that will be
the attraction at the Belasco Theater
next week.
Goodies is the slavey, or maid of all
work, portrayed by Maude Eburne, the
character actress that jumped into
! fame in one night in New York when
"a Pair of Skies was first produced
at the Longacre Theater nearly year
ago.
Maude Eburne. UP to the time she
carved out a name for herself as Cod
dies in the theatrical hall of fame, was
known in the profession as a hard
working actress who had been strug-
Cling for years in stock companies all
over the country to get part in
which she could make good sufficiently
well to lift herself out of the ruck.
Thirteen years Miss Eburne struggled
at this, becoming known as capable

NATIONAL

Eugene Walters new play, The Bet
ter Way will bring to the New Ma
tional Theater this week a Washington
favorite, Miss Charlotte Walker, in the
title role.
! The play was put on in Philadelphia
near the end of last season under the
title of 1.-The Plain Woman" and had
an unusually long run in that city, where
| it was pronounced one of the strongest
dramas Mr.. Walter has produced.
| THE Better Way has six massive
scenes, distributed in a prologue, and
! four acts and an epiiogue. The story
! has 10 do with a young couple who are
married when the man is a young mill
| hand and the girl little more than a
child. They work together and plan
| for the future, and finally, through the
| influence of the wife and against the
i judgment of the husband, riches come
to them through investment in a pat
| ent. The man becomes power in the
steel industry, but his wife remains
! the same plain woman" living in her
| love for her husband and the child that
has come to them. Money gets the bet
ter of the husband, who spends much
of his time in New York and becomes
infatuated with an actress, who weans
him away from his wife.
| There is said to be an effective scene
when the wife, portrayed by Miss
Walker, reaches the apartment of her
husband to make an appeal to him. and
finds him in the presence of this woman
who has won him away. Another op-
portunity for Miss Walker to show her
| emotional talents occurs in the court
room scene. where her husband is ask
| ing for Il divorce and where paid wit
nesses have perjured themselves as to
| her infidelity. A modern scene shows a
restaurant of a New York Tenderloin
hotel, where a cabaret show is in full
| swing. A colored orchestra is carried
to develop the realism. The production
is elaborate in every detail, for there
are more than fifty people behind the
curtain and more than thirty speaking
parts.
In the company supporting Miss
Walker are Virginia Pearson, well re-
membered in Washington for her work
in "A Fool There Was" with Robert
