THE CURRENT WEEK.
BelascO-Louis Mann in 1.-THE
Bubble"

This week brings to Washington
Louis Mann in "rhe Bubble" which
the Messrs. Shubert will present at the
Belasco Theater.
AS Gustave Mueller in The Bub-
ble," this new successful comedy
drama, Mr.. Mann is called upon to en-
act a character somewhat different
from any of those in which he has
heretofore been seen. Mr.. rMann's Gus
taVe Mueller is that of an excitable
but lovable ols deIicatessen dealer.
keeping always in mind the Golden
Rule, but when he is being swindled,
the whole force of his nature bursts
forth in open rebellion against a fraud
ulent transaction. He has been tricked
by a smooth mining stock promoter
and while his visions of wealth lead
MIN to peculiar extravaganza, he
awakens to find himself face to face
with ruin and misery. Through a
clever trick on the part of his daugh-
ter and newspaper reporter the old
man is made happy by the return of
most of his fortune and all ends hap
PLY midst wedding bells.
The original cast which assisted Mr.
Mann during the run of the pIay at
the Booth Theater, New York, ali last
spring and summer, will be seen here,
comprising Laure Walker as Rosie
Mueller; Auguste Bermeister, a Ger
man American actress, as Mrs. Nuel
Ter; George Wellington as the Young
newspaper reporter in love with Rosie
and Ivan Miller as the promoter of
mining stock who sells old Mueller
the gold brick. -
