Again splendid success was scored by
the club in this. perhaps, the heaviest
task it had ever imposed upon itself.
In the reviews the praise was bestowed
on the members of the cast from the
highest to the lowest. John ]. Nola n
scored a big success in the heavy role
of Miles McKenna.
Like its predecessors in the dra-
matte field, however, the club had it's
sorrows as well as its joys, for in 1896
it lost two of it's most highly-priZed

Still strenuous, however, in reaching
out for new worlds to conquer, the
club began to prepare for the presenta-
ton of Lester Wallacks famous old
romantic play "Rosedale, or the Rife
Ball. with Theodore Friebus as it's
stage director. It was presented at the
Lafayette Square Opera House the
evening of December Is, 1897, with
such splendid success that the reviews
at this late day read almost like the
subsidized praise of partial admirers,
and yet those who saw the play say it
was wonderfully we'll done. The cast
presented many new names. for such
had been the splendid success of the
club that newcomers of decided talent

Sidney Smith once said "A man is the
happier for life from having made once
an agreeable tour or lived for any
length of time with pleasant people. or
enjoyed any considerable interval of
innocent pleasure" SO. too. to the man
who has ever enjoyed any of these
blessings, whether he be sentimental or
not. comes a real pleasure in the tell
ing Of them in after years.
When that monument of pleasant
memory of the amateur world in days
gone by. John +. Gisburne, with COM
pleteness of detail recalled the accom-
plishments of the once noted ITALIAN
Club in Washington and supplied data
for the stories of later organizations
of the kind, he did not dream perhaps
that he was unrolling the stone that
scaled in the past a flood of memories
just as sweet, just Is precious, in other
minds.
The Star stories of the ITALIAN and
the Lawrence Barrett Dramatic clubs.
and of that famous presentation of
"Pinafore'' by Washington amateurs of
years ago, has awakened a demand and
resulted in the request for stories OF
other organizations that once flourish
ed In the National Capital and won
fame that reached far beyond 1t.
F1ourished in Early COS.
Of those of Latch years, none, per-
haps. excites more pleasant memory
than the famous old Carroll Institute
Dramatic Club of the early nineties.
many of whose members have reached
stellar rank in the dramatic profession
and others still in other walks of life.
Indeed, as one casts cursory glance
at the group still preserved of some
of the charter members of the or
ganization. SO to speak, one feels a
smile creep into place at the slim
trimness Of figures that long since have
learned the trick of rotundity.
Just precisely when, in 1898, this
noted organization sprang into life,
like many other momentous happen

been lost sight of. even by those who
were responsible for it's existence. But

Somewhere some one has a record of

ever, whoever may have been the Off

James A. Mahoney. formerly of the Bar
rett Club, but then AN actor of estab-

club to success in this play as its stage
director. And it was to the success in
this play, more, perhaps. than even the
Shakespearean performance that the
club was indebted for a standing that
made its future an assured fact.
Percy Winter. about this time stage
director of the National Theater stock

YOUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Very young children do not need
hair tonic, but the hair should be
massaged gently two or three times
a day. Until a child is about three
years of age, it's hair is usually wash
ed during the daily bath.
After that 1t should be thoroughly
washed every two weeks until the
child is six years old. After "a Sc
we're illness child's hair should be
closely cut, shaved IL the hairdresser
thinks 1t necessary. 1t may seem a
pity TO sacrifice pretty curls after
such a slight ailment as chickenpox'
but il there is single scab on the
scalp the hair should be cut, as nests
OF dandruff almost invariably form
in the scars and the hair may always
be thin and poor as a result.
The practice OF combing the heads
Of children frequently with fine
tooth comb is a bad one, as the points
of the teeth are quite sure to scratcl
and irritate the scalp and are almos
sure to produce ssruf and dandruff

dinieres with floral designs should
seldom be used, and holders in SUB
