|. Alice Brady in Her Silent Sacri-
flee" shown for the frst time at
CrandalTs yesterday, added another
leaf to her laurels. AS the little
country maid who rises to the heights
OF renunciation, she has created for
the screen a wonderfully interesting
character.
Her Silent Sacrifice is based upon
the story, The Red Mouse" by Hen
ry W. J. Dam, and has for its prin-
cipal character, Arlette, the Innkeep-
er's granddaughter, whose beauty at
tracts Richard Vale, an American ar

and demands his payment. On the
evening after the opening OF the
salon where Vale's fame is made the
prince holds a gorgeous fancy dress
ball, and at its climax Arlette pub
licly acknowledges him rs her lover.
The artist naturally misconstrues all
she had done for him. How the
truth OF her sacrifice is disclosed, and
she is rescued from the life that con-
fronts her, and wins a husband.

Washington last night saw itself as

satisfied audience left Polls than that
r-hich witnessed the opening perform
ance Of the gorgeous array of make
up and scenery, comedy. song and
dance staged by Charles Sinclair. en-
titled Miss Washington Up-to-date." :"
It's a local show-absolutely: of
Washington, for Washington and by
Washington After a prologue which
dates from the time OF the Father of
His Country, the audience is given
a glimpse OF Mt. Vernon in 1860. Ten
scenes then bring the crowd up the
Potomac river, through the city, out
to Chevy Chase and the present time.
The knockers" had their innings.
Nothing was too great or too small to
escape detection. Each OF the public
utilities came in for its share of the
good-natured but pointed jests.
There seems to have been no effort
TO make a play" out OF the perform
ance. There is no plot, no serious
story. It's just a huge collection OF
little shows which grow better as
the evening wears away, and the
audience files out asking each other
which part they most enjoyed. And
the question is hard TO answer.
One Of the most interesting acts
was that styled Before the Commits
sioners," by Earl Goodwin, in which
Messrs. Gray, Lynn, Lydston, Satan-
son, Reese, Wally, and MacCormack
participated, with the capable as
sistance Of Miss Mink and the chorus
1t was in this part that most OF the
verbal rocks were thrown. A hearty

OF laughter came from the audience

useless effort. the man decided TO
write his wife a letter instead.

everything else-came in for its share
when Ralph c. Faulkner appeared on
the scene. After admitting that

Then he loses his job, but TO his sur

But soon after his arrival in the small

witty dialogue, catchy music and
clever dancing.
Charlie Graham, as the Scotch

singer, are the headliners Of the COM
pRny. The assisting company consists
in part OF Loretta Gail, a diminutive
soubrctte, whose ginger" songs are a
feature OF the show, and Blanche vii
cox, whose voice was heard TO ad-
vantage in several catchy numbers.
A screaming success was introduced
in n novelty act, "The Ham Tree
Mule" This laugh provoking act re-
ceiVed great applause. The mule
wrestles and boxes and pulls several
comedy acts which proved exception
ally entertaining.
The chorus, consists OF twenty
four girls who know how to sing and
dance, and who measure up to the
best traditions Of the Lyceum. The
costuming is novel and the scenic ef-
fects are exceptionally good.
