W.. an unqualified success. The first

the prologue to the second act 'oe-

va nv Eleanor Butler, whose words
,rdeed fell "trippingly off the tongue
,ool, shy at the present Administra-
ton when
=, egure came. with one accord
,,a,h angry lover drew his sword
And fell on it with main and might.
M, ono was there too proud to fight
rhev fought with sword and boot and
fist,
Not one of them a pacifist.'
BE It said here, this is merely quo
tation not necessarily an Endorsement
4, the last act the scenery for Wmcf
rbr;stine Chambers was responsible. a
street in Florence was depicted, and
here the thing reminded one of 1.-THE
Man Who Married a Dumb Wife, Mrs
Francis V. Lloyd, in the title role, Gre
ated a decided hit, and there was
hurst of applause each time the pecu-
liar strains of music which announced
her coming were heard. AS the trip
ming. frolicking. cocksure Orlando, in
doublet and red wig, no one would eVer
have recognized our handsome and
stately Mary Lowell. Too much praise
cannot be given Miss Georgianna
Brown for her charm and grace in the
two solo dances she gave, and l am
.ty
the training of the entire corps de
ballet. The orchestra, under the lead
ership Of Mr.. ]. w. f. Leman, was an
important factor in the successful ef-
feet produced.
Among the strutting lords were to be
seen Susie Ingersoll, Lalite Wilcox,
Marian Savage, Alice Clay, Alice
Thomps IN, Sylvia Barnes and Louisa
Davis, and the very effective pages
we're Ellen Mary Cassatt, Mary Will
Jams, Nancy Scott and Kitty Munoz.
Elizabeth Myers, Marian Butler, Nancy
Stokes and Alice Earle were all scrive-
ners, whatever that isl have a
faint notion that it has something to
do with writing. The ladies among
whom Orlando created such panic
were Adeline Pepper, Eliza Fox, Mary
Mitchell Harriet Frazier, Kitty Brin-
ton, Mary Frances Fisher and Mar
garet Dunlap; and in the ballets were
Gertrude Henry, Elizabeth Henry, Jean
Thompson, Cornelia Leidy, Helen
Tower, Gertrude Tower. Sybil Wright,
Gabrielle Tilghman, Virginia Roberts,
Anne Lewis, Eugenia Cassatt, Mary
Thompson, E. Gwen Martin, Marian
Myers, Cecile Howell, Agnes Kennedy,
Hope McMlchaeL Geordfe Joline,
Esther Howell and Margaret Chrystie.
Mr. James Gamble, as the Merchant:
Walter Kumme, as the Most Learned
Judge, and the Wharton brothers, Tom
and Bayard. with Donald Newhall,
Paul Froelich and Thomas Jones, were
the doughty masculine additions to the
cast.
The only trouble was it was all too
snort, for the evening performance was
all over by 1915, and even in the cafe
downstairs the dancing had not started
yet so most of the audience went home.
Ferhaps 1t was just as WELL as it was a
snowy night; however, from the re-
marks l heard in the dressing room, it
would probably have pleased the
younger crowd anyhow had they had
little dancing afterward.
Inc audience was most representa-

Iony Cromwell, Mr.. and Mrs. w
