that it will justify the favorable
opinion Of so many Washington
auditors and prove eventually
worthy of a place under the cleo
trio lights in that theatrical
heaven known as Broadway.
The theater is permitted to take
on new dignity as it boasts of its
"reminiscences. Fred Stone, who
has been so long identified with
the highest class of musical enter
tainment, will introduce two
daughters in representation of
the hereditary spirit in the Ameri-
can playhouse. Maud Adams is
to have a new comedy, and good
old George Lederer, one of the
emperors of musical comedy
management, even in the days
when 1.-THE Lady Slavey" was con-
sidered rather reckless in it's
chorus display, and when the
public was a little bit startled by
the manner in which the athletic
Marie DresSler threw the gaunt
Dan DAILY around the stage, is
coming back as the director of a
new show called 1.-THE Pajama
Lady" A return to simple farcical
standards of the rather domestic
variety is promised when the Be-
lasco offers Broken Dishes" In
addition to all these considera-
tons, which point to a survival
of the theater even in the face of
a destruction of some of it's cher
ished, though not always pictur-
eSque, architectural landmarks, it
is pretty wei understood that the
musicians, after some discussion Of
business details, will be on hand to
do their part in the responsible
ties for public entertainment.

One Of the remarkable enter
prises is the invitation to select
weeks repertory of three plays
for Mrs. Fiske. Along with lighter
comedies, the literary stand by
Becky Sharp" is included in the
list. Tess of the D'UbervilleS, y
regarded by many as one of the
great Fiske achievements, is not

Iona Ruth's father, mining engi-

the State legislators. From that day on
stage ambitions burned steadily.
She completed her studies in Los An

determinations; a Dogberry pa
tiently philosophical as to the
manner of his time, or even a
Sairy Camp, who surveys the
great human comedy with inef-
fable endurance as she remarks
that her love for her fellow cree
tiers is such that she would gladly
lay 'em all out for nothing.
It is recalled that RAIN" which
appears to suggest so frankly plot,
motive and acting Interpretation
for Pagan Lady" was not cor
daily received at the outset by
comment in professional print.
The historic success of this play,
dealing with the conflict between
primitive emotion and conscien-
tiouS repression, is regarded, not
without reason, with encourage
ment as to the box Office success
of the new play which Washing
ton must regard with a certain
solicitude as the first to brave the
thermometer and declare the
theater season formally open.
It was the frequent practice Of
that oldtime favorite Francis
Wilson to begin a curtain speech
with the line: Audience, you
have behaved beautifully" Miss
Uric, when responding to ap-
| plause, might appropriately have
adopted the line for herself. The
Monday night audience was nu-
merous and attired with every
regard for the social formality
which it is apparently desired to
revive in the theater after many
years Of disregard for the old Vic
torian standards of costume by
the clock. Not only did the au-
dience arrive on Monday night,
attracted by the prestige of Uric,
but its report did not discourage
other audiences from appearing
on successive nights. On the
Wednesday matinee, which is a
sensitive test of popular opinion,
the audience was liberal and the
ticket takers passed out the glad
some word that the attendance
was composed of women to the
extent of SO per cent. It is pretty
well accepted that if the women
are determined to see play, the
men will, if only as a matter of
human exigency, decide to go
along.
To commend Pagan Lady" as
work of literary originality
would be beyond the power of the
most ingenious sophist, however
affably disposed. To question the
exceptional talents of Miss Uric
or the close grasp In which she
holds the interest of a large pub
lie would be even more unreason-
ing. The promoters of the play
who, after all, are the people tc
give it the most intimate and dis
! eliminating study, are confident
