Old Frigate Sailing Record.

THE approaching presentation in
Washington of the motion picture
depicting the war waged by "Old
Ironsides" on the Barbary corsairs
and recent reports Of native piratings
along the China coast bring to mind
the cruise of the u. s. S. Constitu-
ton when she weighed anchor at
Hampton Roads, Virginia, for junket
trip to the Orient in 1874.
In those days there was no Panama
Canal. Ships sailing from the Atlantic
seaboard had to skirt the eastern part
of South America and round Cane
Horn, which is situated at the south
ernmost tip Of our continental neigh
Dor, and then proceed northwest
across the Pacific.
1t took the Constitution Just six
months to go from Hampton Roads to
Singapore, in the Malay Archipelago.
While in Singapore a plague laid
quite few Of the crew low. and the
vessel was forced to remain there six
weeks. She then proceeded to Can.
ton, thence to Manila, and after a
short stay at the latter place she went
to Honolulu and homo again via Cane
Horn.
The gallant old frigate sailed 52.279
nautical miles in 495 actual sailing
days. This was considered quite a
feat in those days. and compared with
present-day speed and safety on the
ocean. this voyage was a distinct
compliment to the seamanship and to
| the courage of men Of a bygone era.

Terpsichorean Excellence.

pOYE and Maye dancing acts are
said to represent the epitome OF
excellence in terpsichorean entertain
ment. They are indigenous to yaude-
vile.
Harold Roye and BiIlee Maye, a
pair Of young moderns. have been car
rying out their dancing ideas upon
the variety stage for about six years.
They are said to have gradually per.
fected distinct style Of their own,
taking the waltz, the tango. each jazz
dance as 1t came along and interpret
ing them in a manner strictly indi-
vidual.
They are a resourceful pair. Mrs.
Maye. Biilee's mother, travels with
them and they form a closed corpora.
ton, SO to speak. Harry and BilIee
work out their dances with infinite
patience and great expenditure Of en-
ergy. They are no haphazard crea-
tors. They pride themselves upon fin
ished and careful workmanship in
their art. Then Billee. with the dance
well in hand-or is it in foot?-deter-
mines the setting and designs tha cos.
tunes, and her mother makes them.
No design is said to be too fantastic,
too intricate for Mrs. Maye's trust
worthy needle. She manufactures ex-
quisite creations for her daughter.

The approval of audiences. almost
without exception, is accepted in the
American theater as the best test of
the excellence of play, player and per-
formance, and but rarely, if ever, has
this approval been withheld from the
National Theater Players. Indeed, so
well had they builded that from the
first announcement of the opening of
the Summer repertoire season the
rush for seats has been amending.
During the past season Is new pro-
auctions have been made for as many
plays, some of them new, some highly
established favorites with theater-
goers, but all of them wholesome and
enjoyable.
Splendid performances have been
given of Molnar's THE Swan" Peg
o. My Heart" 1.-THE Last of Mrs.
Cheyney," "The Patsy" and Turn to
the Right" all of them plays that
stand as successes in the theater.
There are other plays, also, in the
Is which have been well presented
and have delighted large audiences.
When it is recalled that stock COM
pany, unlike a road company, has to
make all its preparations for learn
ing and performing play in but one
week, and that, too, while the com.
pany is carrying on with the current
attraction that is being presented
during that week. the fact that the
entertainment throughout the entire
IS weeks, almost without exception,
should meet with such public approx.
al is rather remarkable.
Individual opinion matters but lit
tie if the audiences as a whole seem
to find complete satisfaction in what
is being spread before them. And if
there is one thing which does honor
to the National Theater Players above
and beyond all else it is that they
have never lacked a large and appre-
ciative audience, which, after all, de-
notes that they are not without honor
in their own home town.

is keenly interested in seeing the

This is just as true in education.

Not Without Honor.

tn HREE Summers ago a young
fellow townsman, who had
grown up with the best of the
4 theater in Washington. con-
ceived the idea Of reviving
Summer stock at popular prices, pre-
scented by the best talent available in
the best plays that could be obtained
for the purpose. Washington had had
many experiences with stock COM
panieS. and some of them were bitter
on both sides of the footlights. There
had been many failures even under
the direction of those deemed most
competent to put over such a venture.
In fact, there was apparently every
odd against the proposition as a sue
cessful one.
Nothing daunted, Stephen Elkins
Cochran launched his National The
alter Players, with SO experienced and
competent a director as Clifford
Brooke and with another assistant
behind the scenes In Charles Squires,
one of the top-notch scenic artists in
the American theater.

the effort-a success that was IN
creased in the second season, and

records because the period in which
it had to run was curtailed by many
weeks.
This success appeared not only in
the box Office, where all successes in
the theater are determined, but 1t
enveloped both productions and per-
formances, individual players and the
company as a whole, in manner quite
unusual. Not only have the players
all of them, probably, at one time or
another-been singled out for discrimi'
mating praise by competent critics but
their work has been Endorsed by en-
thusiastic applause and the reaction
Of emotions from capacity audiences
