Down Comes the Curtain.

a LACK and adayl Washington is
now a parehed and dried city,
whose thespian muse has gone of to the
seashore for the Summer months.
Nothing remains Of grease paint and
footlights but the nebulous memory of
the National Players, who, for the past
IL weeks, have been treading the street
boards with no small measure of sue
cess. Yesterday the final curtain
swept these players of the stage and
what is left looks like deep-dyed
blackness occupying the seats which
formerly contained the pleased counte-
nances of pleased patrons.
A startling thing is it to find that the
drama hasn't so much as q finger along
Washington's boulevards. Even more
startling is 1t to find that suddenly the
National Players have departed for
other and neither spheres. Those glad
and cleaning faces that struck a Diff
ferent pose every Monday night, those
varied and voluminous idioSyncrasies
that sprang into life six times week.
those hammered mannerisms and crisp.
well-seasoned lines that were Haunted
nightly and struck pleasantly both the
eye and the ear-that they have gone
seems something in the vein of an
atrocity.
Yet gone they have-bag and baggage.
Last night saw them marching, en-
masSe, out of the National Theater.
Behind them, however these players
have left considerable. Indelible be-
come many of the characters and char
acterizations which they offered. VIII
thirsty audiences ever forget Walter
Gilbert changing himself from poet
to peasant" in Is seconds in Brothers?
Or Marion Wells romping about in
pajamaS in the last act of Jerry?
Can any one forget Adelaide Hubbard
hobbtng up the stairs in Your Uncle
Dudley" or Edith Gresham screaming
hoarSely in Wooden Kimono"? What,
for instance, would "Dracula" have
amounted to without Romano Callen-
der's bleached countenance? Or "Holi-
day without Marion Sterly's pert
prettyness and the stern puritanism OF
II. Dudley Hawley? And would 1T Pays
to Advertise" have attained to a pro-
verbal row of beans" If Freddie Sher-
man hadn't been blessed with a sixth

One and all these distinguished
players come back to the mind with the
speed of well-tried and aforementioned
friends. What happens to them in the
future depends upon that little demon

him pretty much as he wishes But
whatever, in the course of the coming
year, is their fate, perhaps kind one

Mr.. Herk is going to reform the the-
