PREs1DENT-.Abie's Irish Rose. ,

The audience which filled the Pres-
dent Theater to capacity last night to
see the first performance In Washing
tor Of "Abie's Irish Rose" was so en-
thusiastic over this clever comedy that
waves of laughter continually swept
over the entire house and several of
the exceptionally witty lines brought
out spontaneous applause.
This Is undoubtedly the most popular
play put on the boards this season, by
the President players. and the cast is
chosen in a manner to fill the various
parts more than adequately. The comedy.
by Anna Nichol, is still being played
by the original cast in New York city.

in San Francisco has played 1t twenty
two weeks and another company has
passed its 4OOth performance In Los
ming it so that it is unique that Wash
ington should have gotten it under the
circumstances it did. To all appear
ances. it seems probable that it will
spend several weeks in this city.
The story of the son OF an orthodox
lew. who married the daughter of an
Irish Catholic, is naturally the basis for
all sorts Of explosive situations and at
times the farcical lines border on the
burlesaue. yet. throushout the; entire hr

ramblings plots that have been more
or less lost in other plays seen IN this
