"The Heart of Maryland"

Polls Players made another timely Sc
lection in reviving David BeIasco's ro-
mantle military play. The Heart Of
Maryland" this week in the midst OF
the terrible conflict now raging in Eu-
rope.
The horrors of war are vivified more
completely by the master dramatist than
by the pen of current journalists. The
drama presents a concrete picture Of
how the grim vIsaged monster tramples
upon home and the affections, whereas
journalists primarily record wars effect
upon nations rather than individuals
This drama tells the story Of a beau
tiful Southern girls love for a young
Union officer. and receives full value at
the hands Of the capable Avenue stock
Company. The spirited action reveals
scenes Of army life and the crueIties and
strict discipline OF war, but interest and
sympathy are excited above all by the
womanly love. and indomitable spirit Of
Maryland Calvert. and ner heroism in
clinging to the swinging iron clapper of
a church bell muffiing its notes with
bare hands to prevent its giving warning
Of the escape Of her Union lover from
the hands Of his Confederate enemies.
The plaudlts for Izetta Jewel, who por-
trayed the character with admirable dis
cretion, at this latter point brought her
before the curtain. It is always a pleas
ure to speak well Of Miss Jewel; it seems
she will never give US an opportunity to
do otherwise.
Carl Brickert made a fine. manly ap-
pearance as the Northern lover, and
played with praiseworthy skill. That de-
pendable player, William d. Corbett,
gives a most consistent and admirable
portrait OF the villainous spy. Col.
Thorpe. The love scenes between Marie
Carroll and Russell Fillmore ARE most
amusing. Walter Won Boekman made a
good impression as Lloyd Calvert. Mary
lands younger brother, on his first ap-
pearance with the company. An excel
lent performance Is to be recorded for
Louise Kent, Stanley James, and William
H. Evarts.
In fact, what really made the per-
formance SO interesting was the excep-
tionally good playing of every member of
the company. Every one had a correct
perception OF the roles which they por-
trayed, and the atmosphere Of the civil
war period was always apparent The
scenic equipment has scarcely been sur
passed in previous stagings Of the play.
and notwithstanding a largely augmented
company. the opening performances yes

HIEh-cIaas Vaudeville.
B. F. KEITH'S.

Washington's home Of high-class
vaudeville inaugurated its second season
under the B. F. Keith regime yesterday
afternoon with an effervescent bill COM
prised largely OF song dance and trav-
esty with an ultra bizarre gown or two
and a liberal sprinkling Of risque repair
tee.
Heading the aggregation Of frothy
frivol Is Cecil Lean comedian of The
Soul Kiss fame whose substantial and
Jolly personality assist in the success OF
goodly number Of songs to which is
added an exceptionally clever bit of
impersonation In Mr.. Leans imitation
Of a sleek and hypocritical parson. The
star comedian is assisted by Miss Cleo
Mayheld whose costumes leave little TO
the Imagination. The music and lyrics
Of the act are a Lean product and do
the comedian credit
Sharing headline position with Mr..
Lean on the program this week is Jack
Wilson who Is assisted by Franklin
Battle in what is styled ''an impromptu
the bill In clever and Witty fashion.
Less conspicuously advertised is Miss
Winons Winter whose exquisite person
ality and charming voice combine to
make her little cheer-up' the one gen
timely artistic feature of the bill. Her imi-
tation Of q Swedish maid taking a tele-
phone message for a doctor, and her
negro mammys lullaby ring delightfully."-
true and are particularly deserving Of
praise.
Supplementing these attractions are
Mang and Schneider in a display of
athletic strength; Irving Newhoff and
Dode Phelps In a mildly amusing and
musical comedy skit: Ed Gallagher
and Bob Carlin in a nautical travesty
sprinkled here and there with a bit of
clever repartee: Rosa Crouch and George
Welch in an incoherent quarter of an
hour Of pure and simple noise. and
Spissell Bros and Mack in an acrobatic
number entitled The New Chef"
The opening bill Of the new season of
high-class vaudeville at the beautiful B.
F. Keith Theater does not furnish as
much Of that very good balance of
variety as We look for in the two-a-day.
but is sufficiently entertaining to have
won the unstinted applause Of a large
audience at yesterdays matinee, particu-
larly in appreciation Of the offerings of
Mr.. Lean and Miss Mayfield: Wilson and
Battle, and Of Miss Winters artistic con-
tribution.

to the question. There is a little bit of

the piece a touch of pathos at the drop
OF the curtain at the end Of the first
act and a riot of fun during the rest
Of the show. The plot Of the entertain
