Puts New Type on Burlesquc stage
Dan Coleman has come out un-
equivocally for the Irish woman OF
middle age and long experience, and
declares that in future he will try
to make her as famous on the stage
as the dainty show girl The Irish
woman OF middle age, says Cole
man, is a woman of wit and usually
some little bank account.
He is demonstrating his belief in
her by his impersOnation with
Harry Hastings Big Show at the
Gayety this week. Most of the
book and lyrics of the show were
written by Coleman, who comes
from Boston.
The men on the stage who have
made their reputation imperson-
atinG women have all selected the
pretty girl type" declares Coleman.
That is. all of them but the Rus
sell brothers and George Monroe.
These men played servant girl
types, however. The thing that l
want to do is to make the Irish
woman better known.
The type l have chosen is the
Irish woman OF middle age, who
has saved a little bit and who is
trying to enjoy the world She is
a big hearted, quick witted ana
thoroughly human being.
Il am planning to make the char
acter a bigger feature of my act
than ever and may eventually do
it altogether and get away from
the Tad type that l have been as
soCiated with so long. My wife,
who is known on the stage as Alma
Bauer and is my partner with me

that playhouse during the present
season, constitutes the attraction Of
featured prominence at that play
house for this week also.
"Humoresque's' reception by the
press and public of Washington
was marked by almost unprecedent-
ed praise. This same production is
now in the sixteenth week of it's
New York run and inasmuch as its
Washington engagement is limited

thereof is still indefinite.

such players as Vera Gordon, Gas

Book BY Local Newspaperman
Creates New Fiction Sleuth
Who Riuals Sherlock Holmes

All Washington remembers James
Hay, jr., as one of the Capitals
foremost political writers during the
Taft and Roosevelt administrations,
and his friends will be interested in
the news that his latest book,
detective story, NO Clue is re-
ceiving much praise from the re-
viewers. 1t features jefferson Has
tings, the great detective who solved
the Melwood mystery, i'm Mr.. Hays
earlier book by that name.
The scenes in the new book are
all laid in territory familiar to the
city where folk physically grown up
are politically children. Sloane

raphcr has been murdered, is located
across the Potomac, in Arlington
County The apartment house in
which Mildred Brace, the murdered
girl, and her mother lived. is on
Fourteenth street. one might imag-
inc not far from U street. The
home and office of jefferson Hast
ings one instinctively places in the
neighborhood of Mcpherson Square.
A New sherlock Holmes.
As one reads NO Clue" IL is with
realization that jefferson Hastings
is making a strong bid for a place
alongside Sherlock Holmes as a
deductive criminologist. and that Mr..
Hay has found his real realm as a
writer in the creation OF Hastings.
When the story opens we find a
stern mother driving her daughter
to an appointment with a man from
whom the daughter instinctively
Shrinks. In the succeeding chapter
that daughter is found, on a dark
midnight, on the lawn at Sloane
hurst, murdered in the dark ness,
two guests OF Arthur Sloane discover
themselves facing each other, over
the murdered woman. when a ray
of light from Sloane's room throws
its beams across the lawn. One is
a Virginia Circuit judge, and the
other a Washington lawyer. en-
gagged to marry Lucille Sloane. the
only child of the host. who is
widOwer and a nervous wreck.
Called From His Bed.
Hastings is called from his bed
shortly afterfhe has retired. follow
ing an evening Of stoiy telling in
which he related his outstanding
experiences as a detective and for
doing which he was roundly berat-
ing himself as he lay in bed.
He starts out to find a clue. Every
person in--thc household is ques-
toned. In the course OF his in
quiry both before and after the
inquest. the finger of suspicion
points as many ways as a vane in
the wind. Now ii is directed at
Bernc Webster. the fianCe Of Lucille
Sloane. who admits that the dead
woman was his stenographer, and
that he discharged her after eight
months. alleging that it was for

and tried there, to dissuade her
from what he thought was her mis-
sion-to demand OF Berne Webster
that he marry her. Again. il shifts
toward Arthur Sloane. who tries to
avoid talking by accentuating his
nervous state. and by the employ
ment of the finest line Of unwonted
expieiYes one ever listened to.
Again. II momentarily points to

tective, and then seems to be hold

And so. from person to person
and back again. the finger journeys
in sort of eny-meeny, miny-mo
fashion-as seen by the sheriff and
the spectators; but Jefferson Hast
ings' quick eye and alert mind had
caught one little circumstance that
would have been missed by any one
less astute than he.
Tiny Clues Solve Mystery.
And although he followed out
every clue that appeared to arise.
TO the point where it was disprOven,
he kept his mind constantly on the
by others unnoted circumstance.
And with the aid OF a tiny bit OF
paper and 4 peculiar mark on the
handle Of an imProvised dagger. he
brought the crime ireNOrsbly to
tn" door Of the murderer.
As chronological account Of the
fcrrettinE out Of mysterious mid
night murder which no one wit
messed. and as an exposition of
both the uncertainties ana the Ger
tainties OF CirCumstantlal evidence.
Mr.. Hay has written a thrilling story
that makes one understand why
Presidents. Supreme Court justices,
and even great preachers. find both
relaxation and entertainment in the
modern high type detective story.
Author In Poor Health.
On account OF fsliug' health Mr..
Hay was forced to give up active
