lneriff, at the time.
/ The first case filed on the docket of
Me Twenty-second court in 1887 was

brought by Edward Dwyer against
Eathaniel Lewis, administrator, for

judge.

Charles Edward Russell,
a Washingtonian, Writes
of Julia Marlowe

Charles Edward Russell's new
volume, Julia Marlowe, Her Life
and Art" has a double interest to
us in Washington. since We know
the lovely MarloWe-in private life
Mrs. E. II. Sothern-from occasional
periods of residence among us and
since Mr.. Russell and his charming
wife register 'of Washington, al
though they do good deal Of globe
trotting.
They have been abroad all sum.
mer and Mr.. Russell still is. al
though he is headed for home soon.
Mrs. Russell is in Michigan with
her mother. The last / heard of
them previously was when Mr.. Rus
sell was barred from England as a
radical. This seemed vastly anus
ing to those who know Charles Ed
ward Russell. for, although he was
a rampant progressive of q genera
tion. ago, progress seems now to
have caught up with him. Besides,
he is the gentlest of souls and one
can't imagine him stirring up sedi-
ton anywhere.
However, to return to the Mar
lowe book. One reviewer complains
that it tells nothing of her ''life,"
but deals entirely with her "art. !"
This seems strange in view of the
years OF intimate friendship between
the Russells and the Sotherns. Tut
perhaps it is this very intimacy
which stays the hand of the biogra-
p11er. Julia Marlowe is very much
alive and one can imagine Mr.. Rus.

being too revealing
The book explains in great detail
how Miss Marlowe interpreted the
various roles she has essayed. IN
learning how she studied this point
and that one finds oneself reviewing
Shakespeare and driven to- blowing
the dust from the old plays to take
again to ones heart Portia, Ophelia,
Lady Macbeth and the romping
Katherine.
The Russells were largely instru-
mental in persuading Mr.. and Mrs.
Sothern of the charm of Washing
ton. They spent winter or two
here, leasing a picturesque house
in Georgetown, and they intended
to buy home here but could never
find what exactly suited them. Mr..
