Justly famous actors on the English
speaking stage. 1t is. too, q real farewell
Forbes-Robertson does not intend to
come back to the boards. and from his
point of view there is something to be
said for him. He Is now sixty-one years
old and he has been on the stage for
forty years. He would rather leave US
hungry than satisfied, hear us grumbiing
at his retirement. than regretting his lost
powers. And, though he keeps the aus
tere noble beauty of his face. though his
figure is slim. erect. and graceful as ever,
his voice still able to touch chords which
no other voice can touch. and his powers
still at their zenith. no doubt he has
had enough of the racket and the dust Of
the stage.
Forbes Robertson makes his farewell
visit 70 Washington at the Belasco
Theater next week. His program COM
prises four of the plays with which his
name is indelibly associated. On Monday
and Saturday nights and Wednesday aft

NationaI-"Maids of Athena,

etAoh&A lu6Io1 OF Atnen9S
When Henry W. Savage acquired the
rights for America to Maids of Athens -
which comes to the National Theater
this week, he was confronted by the
problem of finding a writer who could
translate the viennese book without de-
stroying its subtleties of humor and sux-
gestion.
Many famous librettists fmpIored Mr..
Savage for the chance to make this
translation, but he finally decided that
Miss Carolyn Wells was best equipped to
do it, and she has splendidly verified his
Judgment The scenes of Maids of
Athens are laid in Greece at the pres
ent time, and the characters run the
gamut from a bandit prince to a fat and
newly rich old American widow, who is
as sentimental as she is stout.
Miss Wells has a wonderful gift of
graceful verse, as any one who has read
her delightful work Is well aware.
There are no less than nineteen musi-
cal numbers in the operetta, and ley
range from a simple. delicious little song
to a sublime symphony which requires
every one of the thirty-seven musicians
who compose the orchestra to interpret
and which is said to be of grand opera
quality.
The cast is typical Of Mr.. Savage,
which is to say that II Is a perfectly bal
anced organization.
Although il is more than nine years
since Franz Lehar and Victor Leon
wrote, in collaboration. THE Merry
Widow" and though each has written a
dozen operas since, then in conjunction
with others, Maids of Athens' is the
first operetta they have written together
in all that time. So confident is Mr..
Savage OF the success of Maids Of
Athens" that he has given 1t the most
costly production he ever has made.
