Billie Burke has come back TO
Washington to make play-Eoers laugh.
She does-at the National Theater this
week. In The Rescuing Angel" lat
est and. perhaps, the most whimsical
Of Claire RUNNERS list of alluring pro-
ductions. Miss Burke is at her best
In precipitatIng situations Offering
humor. charm. and pathos. First
appearance of the play at the Ma
tional last night was a hit.
The theme OF the play-an old one
with a new and decidedly refreshing
atmosphere-revolv about a young
and decidedly pretty girl who takes
II upon herself to save her family's
waning fortunes by marrying one of
two millionaires who have proposed
to her.
She marries one who. learning from
a disappointed youthful lover Of the
girl that she married for money. be-
comes angry and creates two scenes.
one in the hotel. which the audience
doesn't see, and one at the girls fam
lily home, which the udience does
see. The girl decides her marriage
Is mistake and wants II annulled
before night. Meantime she calls in
the other millionaire and says she'll
marry him. He says Il will be very
nattering to him, and proceeds to help
her.
Then the family lawyer enters to
straighten everything out which he
does, through the last act. While the
audience roars with, laughter at Miss
Burke's whimsical actions and the
clever dialogue, everything Is ad-
justed as it should be.
The graceful humor- that runs
through the lines and the charm of
the characterizations constitute the
outstanding features OF the play. A
theme that is far from new Is SO
delightfully."- treated that one Is kept
from remembering that he has seen
these same situations in other pro-
ductions.
A charming role is provided for
Miss Murke, who is welcomed back
to the legitimate stage after playing
for approximately two years for the
films. She is the same delightful,
bewitching Billy Burke of the days
before she temporarily deserted the
stage for pictures. In fact, Miss
Burke Is plainly a much more fin
ished actress now than when she
last appeared on the stage. She is
much more effective as q come
dienne, and her superior artistry was
recognized last night by generous
applause.
Miss Burke's support is excellent.
Frederick Perry, as the wealthy man
who wins her; Claude GillingwRter,
as the fond, ever-concerned. and al
ways placable father. and Robert Nc
Wade, as the lawyer and ''man on the
job in the pinches," are splendid.
Other characters also are well picked
for their parts and the play Is beau
tifully staged.
Too much can not be said in praise
OF the fsultless manner in which the
production has been staged by Arthur
Hopkins.
In The RescuinE Angel" Miss
Hummer has scored even q greater hit
than she did with "A Successful Ca
lsmity," which. with William Gillette
in the leading role, was seen here at
the National last season, and which
had so successful a run in New York.
The wit is sharper and more original
and the action is more pointed.

Very Good Eddie.- a musical com
/ edy in two acts, captivated a biG
audience at the BeIasco Theater last
night
1t teaches q strong moral-to al
ways have your baggage on board
and your wife handy when you begin
honeymoon trip. "Very Good Ed
die" Kettle forgot all about these
things at the Belasco last night and
started on his honeymoon with a
wife, but not his own. Before the
play was half through he had won
the sympathy of the audience and
possibly their understanding. The
scenes were Enthusiastically those
that haunt newlyweds, and, as they
shifted in VERY Good Eddie" the
folks "out front" saw into how many
intricate positions a newly married
couple, with no bad intentions on their
part, can get
Some OF the tuneful songs OF the
comedy will live long after Very
Good Eddie" graces the stage no
more. Two OF these are "On the
Shore at lie Lei w." by Eva Ollivotti
and Barrett Greenwood. and "Babes
in the Wood" by Taylor Graves, the
Eddie OF the show, and pretty Mignon
McGibney.
The plot Of VERY Good Eddie" is so
funny II is a farce. Picture two
honeymoon couples starting on the
same boat for a little trip up the Hud-
son. Picture them, also, leaving their
luggagfe behind, so that the strong
minded ones OF the quartet, the hus-
band in the clinging vine case and
the wife in the case OF the henpecked
spouse, have to go ashore to attend
to eleventh-hour details. The boat
leaves them, and the henpecked one
tries to look after the clinging vine,
with the result that every situation
they face quite oVerwhelms them.
The left-behind couple follow on the
next boat and find the Babes in the
Wood" stopping at a summer hotel.
There are many IaughabIe situations
before the plot finally clears and the
suffragette wife and the ruling hus-
band are restored to their proper and
chosen mates.
Taylor Graves, as Eddie, caused q
riot OF fun and laughter. His song,
when Your Collars Number Thfr-
teen and Your Shoes Are Number
Three" brought repeated encores.
Mignon McGibney was an excellent
vine. Jane Evans was in
imitable as Georgine, the imperial
wife, and Madison Smith made a very
good husband for the wife Of clinging
Corabelle Levine scored
a hit in her role as a magazine girl.
Dave Ferguson, who was Al Cleve-
land. the clerk at the country hotel
where the newlyweds Strengthened
out their troubles, produced many a
laugh His lines were uproariouslysI
funny. and he got a flow OF applause
for his efforts. Miss Georgia Harvey
was good as Mime. Matroppi, and Syl-
vester Carrothers scored a hit as the
OF polite manners. The
chorus OF VERY Good Eddie" is COM
posed Of pretty girls who know many

tainingly.

citing in its flm version. II Is pos

her flrst dishonest deal with a land

Thomas z. Shea, OF 'rDr. Jekyll and

quaintance with the Washington
theater-Eoers in one Of the leading
characters OF Common Clay" this
weeks attraction at Polls Theater.
The enthusiasm OF the opening
night audience seemed equally d.
vided between Mr.. Shea and Miss
Edna Buckler. who has the leading
feminine role. Miss Buckler lived In
Washington for some time before tax
ing to the road. She comes OF a fam
lily Of actors. her Z mother having
starred In prominent plays.
Common Clay" Is q stirring and
realistic review OF the sex problem.
The Judge Filson and Ellen Neal
parts, which are played by Mr.. Shea
and Miss Buckler, are emotional
roles OF vast proportions, and were
delivered with an exactness which
seemed to measure up to the expecta-
tions OF the crowded house.
There is a court scene. which ends
in q startling announcement, and an
epilogue In which all ends well after
acts Of exciting climaxes and enough
comedy to dry the tears. which must
surely wet the eyes OF those who lis
ten to the story Of Ellen Neal.

Families Near Three Forks
Pefiled When Madison
River Overflows. VI

Logan. Jan. 23.--As more detailed, re.
ports came In Tuesday from rlnchcrs
around the Madison valley. where the
Madison river has left its regular chan
mel and overflowed the valley for
several miles. it Is now known that at
least six families were caught In the
flooded district.
Some Of the ranchers, known to have
been caught in the overflowed terri
tory are: Bert Wilcox. ornc r. Moore,
Peter Dunville. Samuel Fistner, John
Mcdonald and George Wright Some
VI these were able to move off their
ranches before the water got bad, but
this morning it was learned that Mr.
Wilcox had gone over to the D,,nvillc
ranch and now both families arc hcm-
med in at that place.
Mr.. Moore early last night decided
to- try and get to place of safety
rs he has 4 wife and two small child
rem and he was getting uneasy about
the situation. so he and his wife took
one child each in their arms and start
ed for the ranch of Charles NJ. Wilson,
over half a mile away, to the higher
lands. They went through water and
ice the whole distance, finally succeed
ing in reaching the Wilson ranch in
safety. but had to wade up to their
waists most of the way.
The railroad situation is about the
same as 1t was Monday. The water has
risen from four or five inches to near
~ L. inches over the Northern Pacific
and Milwaukee, and is problematical as
to when the waters will recedc as the
Madison freezes from, the bottom up
and it depends upon when the ice
gorges give away as to when the water
will fall. No one can prophesy when
trains will be able to run again be.
tween Three Forks apd Logan.
Superintendent u. Q. Johnson OF the
Northern Pacific and Hans Gunderson.
road master, with a large force Of men
were at Three Forks Monday night in
readiness to start dynamiting the
Madison river in hopes Of getting the
water back into the channel. which It
has left one mile east of Three Forks
and has been running over the Madi-
son valley, covering a width Of three
miles, extending UP the Madison river
south Of the Northern Pacific tracks
for three miles.
Tho river has overflown several
times in past years. but nothing like
this condition was ever known before
and traffic on the Northern Pacific has
never been interfered with.
