of being, but for an American to
be received with open arms, pre-
senting something which is in
digenous to a foreign country
this is a phenomenon which is
not often recorded. If, for in
stance, Noel Coward should come
over here and give a performance
based on the life of Gen. Grant
it would be something the same.
For the Empress Eugene was
popular with the English, a great
friend of Queen Victoria, and in
her exile made to seem particu-
larly at home in the palace which
was loaned to her. People of this
generation are possibly more fa-
miliar with her as hostess at the
giant palace (now a hotell which
she lived in at BiarritZ, or at her
Paris hotel, but perhaps the most
tragic and important years Of her
life were spent at Camden Place,
Chiselhurst, and subsequently at
Balmoral.
Whatever and however, Miss
Skinner, who last season began
to plunge into the history of this
interesting Empress and wrote
the sketches all herself, brought
them to England and there was
applauded to the skies, not only
for her acting, but for the liter
ary insight and character which
she has brought to bear in them.
The Mono-Drama thus became
to the English, as it has to us, a
definite step in theater expert
mentalization-and one which
can no longer be overlooked.
The theater is, hence, fortunate
in this new "art," which is also
an old art. It is new because it
is so alone, but it is old in that
it combines all the requisites of
the theater namely, humor,
pathos and the semblance of per-
manency behind the footlights.

viii begin an engagement of one
Il week. She will present for the
first time In Washington her
latest dramatic sequence, THE Empress
Eugenie," already acclaimed in London
and New York.
The career of Eugene de Montijo,
the dazzling Spaniard who married
Louis Napoleon, last Emperor of the
French, has furnished the material with
which Miss Skinner has constructed her
new offering. Eugene, the daughter of
an obscure Spanish nobleman and an
eccentric mother, stunned the impress
sionable and flirtatious Louis Napoleon

came his wife in lavish and sumptuous
ceremony in Notre Dame Cathedral.
She soon began to share in the political
intrigues that marked the course of the
second empire. With the birth of her
only child-the Prince Imperial-thc
perpetuation of the Bonaparte dynasty
became her ruling passion. In calamit-
Gus succession she lost crown and hus-
band and son. Eugene, who was
possessed Of masculine courage, sur
yived these tragedies and lived to be
more than 80 years old.
The highlights Of the dramatic ex-
istence of Eugene are presented by Miss
Skinner in six colorful scenes.
On Friday night and at the Wednes-
day matinee Miss Skinner will be seer
in her popular sequence, THE Wives oi
