Emerson Browne, called "A Girl of To-
day. and at the same time introduce to
the theatergoers the young actress.
Ann Murdock, as a star in her own

talented actress that Mr.. Frohman has
made star of in this city. Miss
Maude Adams made her stellar debut
here and SO did Miss Billie Burke,
Pauline Chase, Julia Sanderson and
Edna May. all under his management.
Miss Murdoch is described as especially
gifted, both in artistic ability and per-
sonal charm.
The new comedy is in four acts. the
scenes of which are laid in New York
city at the present time. The part of
Elaine Van Dorm is regarded as par
ticularly well suited to Miss Murdock.
The lines are bright and the dramatic
element is not wanting.

NATIONAL.

Among the interesting announce
ments of the season is that of the pres
entation in Washington of Grumpy
at the New National Theater Monday
evening. Cyril Maude. who plays the
title role. hitherto only known by
name here, has occupied a prominent
position in London for many years and
was the original in many roles
Grumpy is a comedy drama by
Horace Hodges and T. Wigney Percy
val, which was shown to Americans
for the first time last year in New
York. The success was so great that
stay of a few weeks, as originally
planned. was heightened into a whole
season.
Grumpy" is a sort of eomedy-crime
pay Its hero is an old London bar
r1ster. retired from the practice of his
profession, but who all of a sudden, in
his quiet country house, and despite
the infirmity of his years. finds himself
forced into the solving Of a great dia-
mond robbery. which has occurred un-
der his own roof.
Mr.. Maude's part is that Of a crochety
and irritable old gentleman, who, un-
der his petulant exterior. conceals q
sense or humor, tenderness for young
persons of his blood, and. in spite Of
sio ihi' initleS OF MS years, keen
brain, competent to cope with very ex-
pert criminals
Through it all the aged detective re-
mains thoroughly lovable and strik-
ingly individual character In connec-
ton with the cast especial reference Is
made to the beauty of Elsie Mackay
Mr.. Maude has brought over the entire
company from his London playhouse.
It includes John Harwood, Rowland
Blackstone, Leslie Buswen, Alexander
Onsiow. James Dale. c. Probyn-

interesting and the dialogue crisp. The
action takes place in New York city
at the present time. Almost at her
birth Elaine Van Dorm has been thrust
into the arms of Gordon Blake by her
dying mother. who realized the great
love that she had lost. Blake. who is
wealthy, has accepted the guardianship
most willingly and has brought the
young girl up as his own daughter.
Like many wealthy men. he has put off
making a will, and when that docu-
ment is drawn up something happens
and it is not signed, and so Elaine. who
has come to the glory of girlhood in
all of it's fullness. is left penniless and
is dependent upon the charity of dis
tant relatives of her guardian. And
then the story Of the play tells how a
great love came into her life. of the
big sacrifice she is called upon to
make and. finally. how the sun shines
again." Mr.. Frohman is said to have
provided handsome production for the
comedy and the company includes Eu-
gene o'Brieu. Frank Mills. Edwin
