POIi's-fdCamiIIe."

washlngton's theater audiences have
not forgotten how to weep. At least 1t
was demonstrated at Polls last night,
when Alexander Dumas Camille" the
story Of French demi mondaine or lady
of the Cameras, was presented for the
first time in several years. Miss Flor
ence Rittenhouse is called upon to do a
hard job. She must be the cheerful
courtezan one minute and a gasping con-
sumptive the next
She succeeded admirably, evidenced by
the number of curtain calls. Ably sup
porting her in the role OF Armand Duval,
the lover of Camille, William P. Carle-
ton divided the honors.
Camille" is the old, old, story of the
fallen woman, who seemingly on the
verge OF reform, is called upon to sacrifice
the very esesnce OF her happiness by the
father OF her lover, who demands the
release of his son from a promise of
marriage. All Camille's air castles are
crashed TO the ground. AS in the usual
love story all ends well, except maybe
that death in her lovers arms ends the
career OF Camille, but not until he learns
of the sacrifice OF the woman he loved
and lost.
Mention must he made Of Howard Lang
as Count De Varville. Garry McGarry as
Gustave, Frances Williams as Nanine,
the maid of Camille. Others in the cast
Creditably carried their parts.

success, a INSTALLATION OF Eugene Wal
ter's powerful play OF the footlights
THE Easiest Way" The play in its
original form was a huge success and
II loses not a bit of its effectiveness be-

with a newspaper man, but he is too poor
to marry, and he sets out TO make his
fortune. While he is absent the actress
again finds herself helpless, and is forced
to the arms OF her influential friend
The newspaper man returns, and refuses
to forgive a second time, which leads to
the dramatic climax Of the picture. Clara
Kimball Young plays the role with charm
and emotion. Surrounding Miss Young is
an excellent cast. among them being
Rockcliffe Fellowes, Joseph Kilgour and
Cleo Desmond. The Easiest Way will
run until Thursday inclusive. and on Fri

sumption for Liquors Small
Percentage.

A hearing on the bill to prevent the
manufacture of grain into alcoholic
liquors was given a delegation represent
ing the brewers of the United States,
headed by Gustaye Pabst, by the Senate
agricultural committee yesterday.
The delegation submitted a report
showing that the actual amount of grain
entering into the manufacture of beer
represented less than three-quarters of
1 per cent of all the grain produced in
the United States and that the barley
used was not staple human food here
or abroad.
The report went on to say that the
area Of land required to produce the
grain used in brewing was less than
seven one-hundredths of the total of all
land under cultivation in the country. and
the brewers argued that the Industry was
not a factor to be considered in the food
conservation plan.
The members Of the delegation pledged
themselves and the interests they repre-
sented to assist the government in all
regulations for the conduct of the LIQUOR
traftc and offered to cooperate with the
government in any way, asking only that

FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER

CBy Samuel Hamilton, M. d.

In recent years investigation by

scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water is necessary in
good bodily housekeeping. To drink
a pint of hot water before meals is
good practice, and those suffering
from catarrhal condition of the stom-
ach will find benefit in adding about
10 grains (one-sixth of a level tea

b. F. MISUNDERSTANDING.

A bill of excellence is presented at B.
F. Keith's Theater this week. From the
opening number to the end of the Hearst
Pathe News Pictorial there is not dull
moment nor an Indifferent act. Phyllis
Nelson Terry, the English actress. who
gained fame in support of the late Sir
Henry Irving and Sir Beerbohm Tree, is
the leading attraction. Her blond beauty,
superb grace and magnetism have made
her one of the most brilliant young artists
the London stage. She sings a number
of songs, specially adapted to her lovely
voice. and supported by her own London
company, gives Ophelia's mad scene from
Hamlet" with an entirely new and tre-
mendously effective Interpretation. Her
OpheIia is pitiful and appealing in her
girlish charm, and she strikes a human
note which takes the character out of
the accepted type OF EliZabethan drama
and makes her live and suffer.
1.-The Lincoln Highwayman," presented
by Paul Dickey and company, and writ
ten by Mr.. Dickey himself. lives up to its
title of motor drama with double igni-
ton" A mysterious motor bandit. the
police. a girl reporter. secret service men
and a beautiful Irish setter are gloriously
mixed up for fifteen breathless minutes
with a big surprise for the denouement.
And, incidentally, there's a wonderful
red roadster in the act, which makes
the owners of Fords-and some other cars
sigh with envy.
OF special interest is D'Avigneu's Chi
nese Duo, which features Tang Cheong,
a singer with a magnificent voice, whose
repertoire includes popular American
melodies and grand opera classics. As
sisting him in Fook Lok, a Chinese wiz
ard of ragtime.
Frank Crumpit, of the infectious smile
and contagious humor, contributes a
"One Man Glee Club which scores an
instant hit. Mr.. Crumpit has a rich
Southern voice which reminds one of
honey dripping of Virginia corn cakes.
and he has a stock of humorous darky
stories. With a guitar and ukeIele, for
an accompaniment, he sings a number OF
Southern songs and completes his act
with the choruses of melodies that were
