SHOWS INAUGURAL SCENES
West Point Cadets See Themselves
at LoeW's Columbia.

Motion pictures OF the great in
augural parade Of yesterday were
shown at Loew's Columbia Theater
last night, a few hours after the last
organization in the long line, had
passed by the Court OF Honor and had
been reviewed by President Wilson
and his official family.
This was an example OF speed. en-
terprIse, and ingenuity by the man
agement. The pictures were particu-
larly clear, and were roundly ap-
plauded. In the audience were scores
Of the West Point Cadets who sat in
upholstered seats and watched them
selves go swinging into Pennsyl-
vania avenue from Fifteenth street,
eyes left, and passing the reviewing
stand.
The pictures will be materially add
ed to today, many organizations not
shown yesterday to be included in
today's program.

lie Fisher is starred by Clare hum-
mer. Miss Fisher proves her title
to past successes. She seens to re-
vive some of the older songs into
quite as marked musical hits" IS
she did "Dearie."
A Flash drama" written and d.
rected by Edward Elsner provides an
excellent vehicle for the dramatic ac-
complishments of Emily Ann Well
man. The theme is the familiar tri-
angular affair and through Mr.. Els
ner's highly copyrighted system of
producing, a two hours play is flash
ed in eleven climactic scenes in twen-
ty minutes.
Probably the weary sightseers and
marchers ELECTED more real enjoy
ment out of the breezy songs and
dialogue of Chester Spencer and Lola
Williams. Miss Williams, besides
rendering songs, gave the feminine
contingent a real treat in winter
fashions. and Spencer's comedy was
Of the impromptu and genuine sort.
The Bowman Brothers, those Blue
Grass boys, were entertaining in the
extreme, their curtain calls, probably
being as good as the regular act. On
the program are two types of Ven

Ruby Doering appear as the Skating
Venuses, and their maneuvers are ar
tistic and well executed. la Sylph"

Excellent Musical Play Present
ed by Company of Popular
Stage Celebrity.
SIMARTEST OF THE SEASON
TunefuI Entertainment, With
Good Dance Features, on
Bill at BeIasCo.

Before a typically inaugural crowd
of fun lovers Anna Held grand mar
shaled Follow Me-" one of the smart
est musical shows of the season,
through its brisk PAGES last night at
the Belasco.
The enhancing Parisienne will re-
peat the performance each night and
at a couple of matinees this week.
The return OF the comedienne to
the capital brings little change in the
mirable instrument, her eyes still
misbehave, the impudent, arch air Of
other days is evident, and so are the
glittering gowns, the most spectacu-
lar of whom is seen in the fashion
display number of the final act, when
the plumage of a peacock envelops
the little actress.
Well Connected Story.
Follow Me" is a well connected
story, as musical shows go, set in
three acts, every one of which affords
display of costumes to delight the
heart Of women and charm the eye
of man. There are tuneful songs
a-plenty, made additionally welcome
by the perfection of their rendition.
1t contains many dances, and all the
dainty steps are irresistibly graceful.
Comedy, too, is an important ad-
junct, thanks to the extremely clever
I - h.
ton boys, surnamed Charles.
Three massive stage pictures, a gar
den of a Paris villa, the green room
of the Theater Varieties and the Les
Ambassadeurs' Restaurant, form a
pleasing locale in which the Marquis
de Lunay, a philandering nobleman,
neglects his wife to carry on a fiirta-
tion with Claire La Tour, the actress.
Although unexpected in a musical
comedy, the finale object of his fir
tation joins with the wife in adminis-
tering a much needed lesson to the
husband, and all precedents are shat
tered when the play ends with the
husband being restored to his doting
wife's arms.
Miss Held, Of course, was the fiirta-
tious' actress. Miss Louise Mink as
the wife displayed a voice of rare
sweetness in several numbers, and
her duet, "a Tete a Tete With YOU"
with George Lydecker. cast as the
husband, was filled with melody. Mr..
Lydecker's baritone also was heard
to good advantage in when a Man
Is Single" "a Word Of Love-" with
violin accompaniment by Bernays
Johnson, found Miss Mink's voice in
a most appealing way.
Some Interesting Songs.
Charles McNaughtpn had a number
Of recitative songs, Miss Sylvia Jason,
a diminutive actress of much charm,
scored with "It's the Little Things
That Count" and Edith Days chief
vocal number was How Would You
Like to Bounce a Baby on Your
Knee?"
The dancing OF Miss Billie Shaw
and William Seabury was of the airy,
graceful type SO familiar to theater-
goers and proved most refreshing.
Mr.. Seabury's danse fartastique in
the first act was by far the most brill
executed and difficult speciality
seen in any musical show this season.
Lewis rich wit and original songs
seemed never to grow tiresome, and
Miss Held's songs, about eyes and
love and some more eyes, were liberal
ly applauded.

TREE, AS WOLSEY, :
GAINS NEW FAME
Revival of "Henry VIII" by Lon-
don Company Proves Sing
uIarIy. Satisfying.
SUPPORT is EXCEPTIONAL
Lovers of Shakespeare Gratified
by Work of Actors Now
at National.

Lovers of Shakespeare who last
night witnessed the revival of Sir
Herbert Beerbohm Tree and his Lon
don company Of Henry VIII" were
rewarded with a singularly satisfy
ing and artistic performance. The
infrequency with which this histori-
cal play is produced adds special in
terest and Importance to the Tree
production. And the opportunities
which this drama offers for pagean-
try, scenic effect and character de-
hneation are made the most of.
The story of politics, love and in
trigue which revolved around the
person and court of the Tudor
monarch is told with fidelity
and scrupulous regard for the
verities of time and place. The
whimsical, petulant, almost child
ish king; the good and gracious
and long-suffering Katherine; the
crafty, ambitious and arrogant yet
lovable Wolsey, and the vivacious,
lovely and coquettish Anne are
touched with the vital spark of sin
cere art
Tree Shows Mastery.
Sir Herbert makes of wolsey the
cunning and aspiring cardInal-states-
man who welded power by sheer
force of his masterful personality.
He is at his best in the final scenes,
where, his intrigue and duplicity dis
covered by the king, he is shorn of
his power and cast off by his royal
master.
His rendition of the soliloquy upon
the emptiness of worldly things and
the parting advice to the faithful
Cromwell give to the familiar lines
q force and beauty that would be
lost or marred in less worthy hands.
Indeed, Sir Herbert visualizes the
Wolsey of history and of Shakespeare
with a degree of faithfulness that is
most satisfying.
Miss Edith wynne Matthison real
izes to the full the possibilities of the
character of the lovely Katherine. She
is especially appealing in the scene
where, her plea to the king failing,
she arraigns Wolsey as her enemy
and leaves the presence of her Judges.
Role of Henry Well Taken.
Sydney Greenstreet's King Henry
leaves nothing to be desired. His con-
ception of the capricious and willful
monarch isNfaithful and true.
Miss Elsie Mackay is a charming
Anne Bullen, whose wiles add plaus-
ibility to the weak kings conduct.
The supporting cast is entirely ade-
quate, and the scenic effects, in their
fidelity to the minutest detail, created
the essential atmosphere of sixteenth
century England.
Following an ovation from the au-
dience, Sir Herbert appeared before
the curtain and made a happy little
speech, in which he characterized
Shakespeare as the common heritage
of the two great English-speaking ma
tions. He drew therefrom a lesson
in patriotism, and predicted to follow
from the great war a second Reform
alton, from which would emerge the
religion of humanity.
