GENIUS OF ESCAPE"
HERE THIS WEEK

Houdini, the genius Of escape. comes
to washington this week to renew his
former triumphs and meet his many
friends.
This will be his first appearance here
in three years and the second since he
electrified the city by getting out of the
Guiteau cell under the very eyes OF
Mai. Sylvester. the police officials and
a number Of Witnesses In June, 1906.
Houdini was taken to the, Jail here. strip
ped OF his clothing. locked in one SelI
with his clothes secured In another. In
twenty-six minutes he had liberated sew
eral prisoners, dressed himself and walk
ed Into the main entrance Of the Police
ofhctals' Offices and startled them almost
out Of their senses. Mai. Sylvester made
statement at the time which went
round the world.
Today Houdini stands at the head Of
his art He Is the creator OF ore mar
velous and seemingly impossible deeds
OF escape than any man living. Yet he
has never maintained that he could do
the impossible. He was fettered and
imprisoned in a heavily weighted iron
bound box on July Z, 1872, and again on
July 10. 1914, and thrown from an ocean
steamship at the entrance to New York
harbor before over 5000 people and lii
Grated himself at the bottom Of the seas
Houdinfs latest mystery OF escape Is
known as the water torture cell. He is
placed in the cell standing on his head
with his feet clamped and locked. at :he
ankles in the center Of the massive oak
and steel cover and lowered into the wa
ter. He frees himself in less than two
minutes

LEADING FEMININE
ROLE IMPORTANT

The feminine as well as the masculine
element is strong in king John" in
which Robert B. Mantell opens his weeks
engagement at the Belasco tomorrow
evening. John is one of the several plays
of Shakespeare in which either a male
or a female star can shine-similar in
this respect to THE Merchant Of Ven-
ice" Macbeth" Romeo and Juliet"
Anthony and Cleopatra and some
others. Before Mr. Mantelrs revival Of
king John" there had been two of con-
siderable note in America, that of Julius
Brutus Booth and that of Nine. Mod
jeska, the one a male and the other
female star.
Modjeska played Lady Constance, and
is said to have found in her one Of ne
most sympathetic roles OF her entire
career, justifying the estimate Of one of
the most enthusiastic Of the old COM
mentators: when will the reign Of Con-
stance cease? When will her power de-
part? Not while this world Is a world,
and there exists in 1t human souls to
kindle at the touch of genius, and human
hearts to throb with human sympathy"

SPEAIGHT TELLS OF
AMUSING EXPERIENCE

People always want ME to talk about
myself. and l would much rather talk
about Dickens or some one as great or
as fascinating" said Frank Speaight, who
is here in Washington to give his dra-
matte Dickens recitals, when seen at his
hotel the other evening.
You wish TO know whether I have
ever been in funny situations during my
recitals? Rather: can remember that
on one occasion when / was recfting
'Pickwick' at Southampton, / had a
large table on the platform, on which
stood a jug OF water and an empty glass.
Now. first, you must know that am
Observation-Disclosures should at the
present moment be a soldier. During
my recital I happened to knock the glass
over. could hear Il roll, but could not
see II: and / felt the absurdity of pat
ting the table all over. as II I were try
ing to catch a fly, TO locate 1t. So l
stopped talking and let 1t roll.
II was Sam Weller at the time, so
keeping the character I looked at the
part OF the table from which the noise
OF the rolling glass came. and when IL
ultimately fell to the floor l made so
sudden a movement with my face that
my audience broke into loud laughter.
After the recital was over, a gentle
man came up to me and said:
"'Mr. Speaight, do you know what was
the funniest thing you did tonight?'
No / said. Tell me; for one learns
50 much from criticism, adverse or ia
voTable'
Why. the expression OF Sam Wellers
face when that glass broke was just de-
lightful But he added. do you break
a glass every night?"

Born Actors.

The French are born actors, from the
first to the last; they have from early
childhood poses and motions that are
not to be found outside Of France, ex-
cept on the stage. Their bearing Is
theatrical, their language defamation,
their whole manner recalling scenery
and footlights-and precisely the French
produce fewer great tragedians than any
other nation in the world. They are rich
in talents for social drama and the COM
edy; they have the good fortune OF see
