All Of these elements are prop

there are no jagged interludeS,

IN
CAPONSACCHI

Walter Hampden offered ga.
ponsacchi," a deity constructed
drama in blank verse, adapted
from the Robert Browning poem
"The Ring and the Book" as
the second of his three-play cycle
at Polls last night.
This adaptation by Arthur
Goodrich and Rose A. Palmer
has definite beauty Of line, well
sustained Characterization and a
morsel of gayety before it evolves
into heavy handed but interest
ing tragedy.
To many it presents Actor
Hampden in one of his most
appealing roles. The character
of Canon Caponsacchi" is well
contrtved to bring out the sanity
qualities Of the Arezzo priest
with emphasis on his gentle ma,
ture and the right coloring to
etch a vigorous and noble man
hood capable Of a divine love.
The Hampden voice and talents
fit it superbly.
Ernest Rowan as the arch
villain Guido has a thankless and
difficult role-overdrawn for
deviltry-but acted to. the last
inch by a fine actor. Droll and
jovial was Canon Cont Of Cecil
Yapp and Ingeborg Torrup lent
a certain spiritual charm and
soft effectiveness to the character
Of the unhappy Pompilia.
The scenes in the historic court
Of the cardinals are reverentially
treated and Moffatt Johnston rs
Pope Innocent, endows the
Pontiff with compelling dignity.
"CaponSacchi" will be acted
again Saturday night with the
matinee tomorrow presenting the
single performance of Walter
Hampden as Hamlet" Tonight's
bill is '''Richelieu."-A. r. K.

BULL'S-EYEHIT'
WITH FIRST
PICTURE
By ANDREW r. KELLEY


'King Of Jazz" has 50 many
sturdy virtues and is such q dis
tinct triumph in rolling Universal
Pictures out Of marked produc-
ton slump, the director John
Murray Anderson deserves a full
boquet Of laurel.
It is the greatest picture "U"
mas ever produced and makes the
laemm1e company a strong COM
petitor for first run honors, dis
tinction this production unit has
not enjoyed since "Hunchback Of
Notre Dame" and the beginning
of Lon CLANCY popularity dy-
nasty.
Director Anderson is by and Of
the stage. He conceived and
staged the series of well known
Greenwich Village Follies. Later
he was a production supervisor
for Paramount revue units. Al
ways he has displayed ingenuity,
imaginative beauty, fine color
sense, a genius for the spectacular
and the creation Of breath tax
ing stage pictures. In King Of
Jazz" he hiss been given the full
est opportunity with a new
agency for artistic expression and
seemed to have become acclimated
at once.
Director Anderson has been
signed for three more Universal
pictures. It is possible he may
do even greater things than
*'King Of jazz" current at the
Feialto Theater. But If he equals
pt for first class entertainment it
will be enough.
Among the English actors who
tnave found the pot Of gold in
America Is Leslie Howard. When
ae first played the Belasco The
ater, Lafayette Square, in "Out-
ward Bound" he was a 500 a
week actor and glad to get it.
Now the star and co-producer of
Berkeley Square" leaves that
play to make this same "Out.
ward Bound" for Warner Broth
ers at $4,000 week.
Only Denis King who played F
st. stock for $50 per and now
rates $4,000 in the movies or on
the stage, has surpassed the How.
ard rise to fame.
Journeys End" the picture, is
controlled by the Erlanger office
for road showings at $3.50 top in
key cities. This includes Wash
angton and a possible showing at
the National Theater, if and when
The subscription stock season ends
In that theater.
Right now the Cochran Stock
Company is hopping merrily along
with talk being heard about a
second subscription season Of 10
plays. If box office reports con-
tinue to be pleasant the National
Players will undertake to run be-
yond the first week in June.

There is no question but that
the coming session will see one Of
the hardest battles ever staged at
Olympia on the tax problem with
blocs and cliques seeking to shift
the burden of taxes from their
shoulders to others. In such a
struggle the industrial and bust
ness interests of the state, which
are with the smallest representa-
ton will suffer. Outside financial
and business circles few appreciate
the fact that Washington as a Dor
rowing state must assist through
the encouragement of capital to
invest here. - -
Adverse legislation is one thing
which will keep investing capital
away and one or two foolish meas
ures at Olympia would do irrepar-
able harm.

SENATORS IN FAVOR
OF SPEEDING PLAZA
Amendment Rejected to Con.
tinue Operation of Govern.
ment Hotels for Year.

A desire to see the Union Station
Plaza improved as part Of the Capitol
grounds without delay was expressed by
members of the Senate yesterday dur
ing debate on the independent ofHices
appropriation bill, in the course OF
which the Senate voted against con-
tinuing the Government hotels in op"
Grafton for another fiscal year.
Senator Blaine, Republican, Of Wis
consin, offered an amendment to pro-
vide for operation Of the dormitOries
until July !, 1891, but 1t was rejected.
The Wisconsin Senator said he realized
it was the intention to clear the Plaza
and landscape 1t in time for the George
washington bicentenniAl celebration in
1892, but he contended this could be
done next year.
Senator Jones, Republican, Of Wash.
ington, chairman Of the appropriations
anything to delay the improvement Of
the plaza, pointing out that an esti-
mate Is pending In Congress now to
begin the work during the coming
fiscal year. He was supported by Sen
ator Smoot Of Utah, chairman Of the
Public Buildings Commission; Senator
FeSs OF Ohio. vice chairman of the BIZ
centennial Commission, and others.
Senator Blaine asked members of the
public buildings and grounds committee
to give consideration soon to . separate
bill he has pending to provide for the
erection Of dormitorieS for woman
workers of the Government on some
other site than the Plaza. The bill
would provide for a bond issue, to be
repaid from the rentals.
