of books. who, like Barrie. was in
duced to turn his attention to the
theater.
AS playwright Mr.. Vachell has
won signal success, having at the
present time three pieces enjoying
prosperous runs. His comedy for Mr..
Drew is said to offer the comedian the
'best opportunity he has had for years;
supplying a comic element that is
promised a nice balance in serious and
sympathetic qualities
A John Drew premiere is a distinct
novelty for Washington. Mr.. Frohman
usually opened his seasons in New
York, despite the fact that he evinced
partially toward this city for other
openings. 1t is evident that the
Charles Frohman Company is actuated
in this departure from precedent by
the memory of the affection in which
the late theatrical magnate held the
nations Capital Concerning the mat
ter ALI Hayman. general manager of
the Frohman company, makes the fol-
lowing statement:
Il feel that ! am carrying out the
wishes of the late c. F. in selecting
the National Theater in Washington
for the first performance OF Mr.. Drew
in his new comedy. c. F. always
claimed that washington's verdict OF
a star and a play was Endorsed in
New York, and il was therefore his
desire to always make his first pro-
auctions there when possible"
Since We are complimented by such
an assurance We have certainly no
inclination to quarrel with it.
The dainty little three-act comedy
of Cyril Harcourt's which bears the
title of "A Pair of Silk Stockings"
gives US this week an opportunity to
see at the Belasco Theater the artistic
production made by winthrop >Ames
which so delighted New York last
season at his Little Theater. as well
as the chance to become better ac-
quainted with Sam Sothern whom we
know less intimately than his Illus
trious brother, e. II.
According to Campbell Casad. the
enthusiastic and persuasive announcer
of the multitudinous merits of the
comedy. and all the folk engaged in its
presentation. the stage would have
been forever denied the pleasure to
be found in the splendid gifts of the
English comedian had IL not been for
an attack of loneliness which he ex-
perienced some twenty years ago.
But here's Mr.. Casad's story just
as he gave 1t to me. You may read
ii for yourself:
IF hadn't become frightfully
homesick for London. while in France
twenty years ago. undoubtedly
would never have become an actor"
confides Mr.. sothern.

While Mr. Sothern Is little known In this
country, he Is one of the most popular
comedians in his native London.
While Mr.. Harcourt's play might be
termed a bedroom comedy" owing to
the fact of its principal scene being laid
in the bed chamber Of an extremely at
tractive young woman, II lacks the vul-
garity generally found in plays with
similar settings. for so light is the touch
and deft the wit that II is said to be ex-
tremey funny without being in the least
bit offensive-a notable attainment in
these days OF Frenchy farces.

STEAMER BURNED IN M|O-0CEAN Greek Liner Ahitnia, with Nearly Five Hundred Passengers on
 Board Is Destroyed.

HALIFAX, Sept. 20.-The Greek steam Athinia, which sailed from Halifax several days ago, was de- stroyed by fire while in mid ocean. When the fire was discovered the distress call was sent out by the lin- CTS wireless and two steamers, the Tuscania and the Rumania, immedi- ately went to the assistance of the burning steamer. The Tuscania res- cued four hundred passengers and the Rumania sixty from the Athinia' g small boats. Only one person was lost in transferring the passengers from the liner to the small boats.
 The Athinia was completely de- stroyed and sank before the rescuing steamers could reach her. The off, cers of the liner are unable to account for the origin of the fire, which started in the hold of the vessel and had gained such headway before be- ing discovered that the flames were beyond control. The fire is believed to have been caused by the explosion of bombs, which were smuggled on board by some of the passengers.

Leaders of Opposition Have Now Joined Forces with Army Party

SOFIA, Sept. 20.-Bulgaria is mo- bilizing a new army and the war of flee reports that thousands are clam bring for enlistment. The number of applicants is surprise to the off, cials who feared that conscription would have to be resorted to. The leaders of the opposition, who have heretofore urged strict neutrality on the part of Bulgaria, are now ad- vocating war and have sent a dele gation to King Ferdinand, declaring that for Bulgaria longer to remain neutral would be fatal.
 The demands of the Allies upon Bulgaria for declaration of war for or against the Teutons has caused the leaders of the opposition to join forces with King Ferdinand in pre- pairing for entrance into the strug gle. That King Ferdinand will de eide to throw Bulgaria's strength in with the Teutons now seems certain.

ARCHIBALD SAYS
 HE IS INNOCENT
Was Not Aware that the Letter He Carried Contained Important
 News for Vienna.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-James Archibald, the American newspaper correspondent who was detained at Falmouth, England, when it was dis covered that he was the bearer of im- portant papers from the Austrian Ambassador at Washington to Vien- na, arrived on a liner which docked here early this morning. Archibald has not been arrested as yet but has been subjected to a severe quizzing.
 The correspondent asserts that he was not aware that the letter which was handed to him as he was about to board the steamer for England contained anything of importance. He was handed the letter by Ambas- sador Dumba's private secretary and believed that it contained message which would secure privileges for him at the front, and was unaware of the controversy in which he had be- come involved until he read the re- port in London newspaper.
 When he learned of the controver. sy in which he had become involved. Archibald states. he realized that his usefulness to his paper at the front had been destroyed and he determin- ed to return to America at once. He declares that he was entirely inno- cent of any intention of violating American neutrality.
