Augury of Success Cordially Welcomed Investiture and Both Illuminate the Stage John Blair the Chief Fig- ure of a Fine CompanyT- he freest expression of Shakespeares genius his beautiful comedy of Twelfth Night was performed at the Now Na- tional Theater last night by Viola Allen John Blair and a company of markod ability Tho entertainment was in ovary way worthy o praise the several scenes dis- played were appropriate to tho text beautiful to the eye and un education- to the mind In historic and arch tec tural accuracy the minor roles were performed with rare skill and satisfac- tion Mr Blair as Malvolio once thought the chief character of the and Miss Allen as Viola long the students favorite among all the wonien of Shakespeare established their rank as notable figures in tho interpretation of Shakespearean drama and the com- edy was unfolded with a continuity ex- pedition and fluency which gave it more charm than any similar performance In Washington for many years It is to bo remarked with pleasuro that an audience which reflected particularly the elegance and intellect of resident Washington gave itself up with a blithe spirit to the enjoyment of so splendid a comedy so meritoriously interpreted A Local Proprietorship Washington hss looked forward to Miss Allens appearance in Shakespeare with pleasurable anticipation ever since she entered hero so auspiciously upon her career as a star four years ago Her position in every American community- is most enviable but Washington has regarded her with something akin to proprietorship since she made her bow from this same stage and went out to win success with the encouragement of the Capital ringing in her ears She then as now an admitted mistress of her craft She had then as since directed her energies mainly to plays marked by beauty of text and purity of substance But the qualities- of her art of that day while they con tinue to characterize all her movements on the stage have been distinctly and happily deepened So it is that an en- hanced value has been given to a per sonality of bright humor manifest last night In a roguish simulation of frolic which sparkled through but could not hide the fine seriousness of her Viola a dignified womanhood which spoke In every tone of her voice and every action of her body and to a purity which suffused her whole Impersonation Acting as I glow S com- edy ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ Mist Alien went from Washington four y 8 ago announced as a glad discov- ery She will go from it now sealed as- a precious possession to stage glad- ly welcomed and reluctantly dismissed Acceptable Limitations- Her art has it is true fixed limita- tions She could not for example im- personate Juliet as that young firebrand was recently act d bore by Miss Ofirfand cr Lady Macbeth as we are told that role was acted by the groat Mrs Sid dos Hers is rather a talont like Miss Rehans which gives melody and sweet- ness to every note in the song of and like Miss Rohan her contribu tion to art Is most valuable whan she deals with that humor which far wit an love combined and which as was said by one of the most benign of humorists has refreshed myriads more from her natural springs thaa ever tragedy has watered from her pompous old urn Such were the limitations of Hawthorne and Mendelssohn If MiM Allen es- tablishes her title to rink with those notable figures she will have attained to an enviable position indeed The qualities which distinguished the writings of Hawthorne and the music- f MsnhetsBobn significantly the key to this bright comedy Like many of the Twice Told Tales it deals with the Greece of long ago Like The Mar ble Paun it abounds in fancy Like every writing from Hawthornes pan it is a of beautiful thoughts lit by the purest humor and moving on steadi- ly to a worthy and consonant conclu- sion Twelfth Night though has a pronounced characteristic for which the student must turn to the music of Men delseohn if would keep within this comparison it te redolent of ttghtnoes gayoty and freedom and in spite at Its serious portent moves the heart 1 laughter white yet the eyes glisten w Ui tears A Gentle Figure the com- E and j are s rfM he w ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ < ¬ ¬ ¬ In such a work the chief character that of Viola is a figure of poetic beau- ty of tender loveliness of exquisite joy and radiant grace and of steadfast pure find noble affection She has been called Shakespeares ideal of the patien ido- latry and the devoted silent selfsacri nee of perfect love Rosalind who fa commonly regarded as finest figure of womanly spirituality and refinement so far as to lure her sweetheart on But Viola ie superior to that Disguised as a bey she is contest to serve her lord on to the end oven to plead his cause with the woman he lovesThat is true love which Teac9 net Its own happiness but the happiness of its objeot and which feels without any conscious knowledge that itself is the perfection of human sentiment and that it may be better to loss than to will The incarnation of that spirit on the stage requires a person t f equal a character of true innocence and a temperament gay gentle guileless simple generous and sincere It Js not too much to my of Miss Allen that she accomplishes nearly all of oven tins groat task She has assuredly abundant youth intelligence beauty and loveli- ness and as a putative boy charms by virtue of a happy laugh a proud spirit a gentle mannor and a bravo heart Mr Blairs Fine Impersonation Opposite to this figure is arrayod the master of the household to a groat princess as Charles Lamb has called him For the purposes of the comedy ho is befooled by the lesser characters Shake poar8 stoops oS loveli- ness F ¬ ¬ ¬ < > ¬ ¬ of the play into making himself ridiculous The role is ac- cordingly portrayed generally without any part of the dignity which attached- to Malvolios post As over Brutus the student and the actor have frequently disagreed over this character The has bean that a wonderfully dra- matic figure filled with tragic interest has been degenerated Into a buffoon Mr Bettcrton Mr Ketnbte Mr Irving and Mr Taber however thought It no derogation of their station as actors to enact the role as the text requires and It is most pleasant now to add Mr Blnlr to their number The impersonation in this instance unquestionably one of the strongest ele- ments In tho production A description of Mr Irving In tho character fits Mr Blair admirably Lean lank with selfoccupied visage and formal peaked Spanish board dressed in close garb of black striped with yellow and holding a stewards wand in the lightness of which there is something of fantastic symbolism Mal voile ateiw on the stage with nose In air and eyes half shut as If In sin gular and moody contemplation- An unhappy arrangement of the scenery lessens tho actors opportunity In the dungeon scene most unforuinalfr- ly but the Impersonation is neverthrt noteworthy for Its dramatic vigor as it is for the airiness spirit and conviction with which Mr Blair has Imbued It All the Parts Justly Acted Many laughed last night until their sides ached but it was not at Malvolio It was rather with the rarest trio of characters seen in Washington for many a day Sir Toby Belch Sir An drew Aguecheek and the guileful Maria acted by Clarence Handyslde Frank Currier and Zeffle Tlllbury Mr Handyslde has been seen in many parts and in nono of them be it said with all kindness has he shone But Sir Toby Belch one of the most difficult roles in the dramatis personae Of all Shake speare evokes an ability of the best sort Mr Currier has acted Sir Andrew with equal success in Other companies Miss Tlllbury made herself and the role of Maria notable in one night when in the company of Beerbohm Tree These three gave the revelry of the comedy a cogency which It almost never obtains and they were rewarded last night by re- sult Is irre- Claimably ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ peal after peel of laughter as loud and twenty times more spontaneous than was over provoked by a farce Violas double a character which stretches the license oven of dramatists and poets was acted exceptionally well by James Young Nora OBrien was the Olivia physically beautiful hut insignificant selfwilled conven tional and selfish Scott Craven as the Orsino was only weak figure in the cast and those remember the production of this play by Augustin Daly will regret this miscasting of Mr Craven as much for Ills sake as for blemish on the production Yet on whole the evening recalled a criti- cism of the Bettorton performance All the parts being Justly acted orewnd Ute Rhythm Music and Success spirit- ually the who I tho lUte 1 1tM r ¬ ¬ ¬ Rhythm and music are Joined with the humor of Twelfth Night most In this entertainment Feats the Jester Is permitted to retain two of the songs which Shakespeare Included hi the text Both pf these have been given a beautiful musical setting by Augustus Barratt and are well sung by Edwin Howard If the Ibis poetry of the comedy the unusual acting of the sup porting members of the cast the scholarship and skill of Mr Blair and the winsome charm of Miss Allen are not enough to make the entertainment altogether delightful only missing element is supplied by this music The conclusion then is this That the perfection of English comedy and the most fascinating drama in the lan- guage as Twelfth Night has been denominated by a great scholar has been richly garbed and finely illumi- nated That the charm of the comedy is reOHfiaroed by appropriate and sweet muefc That a lovely and pure hearted actress has added to the num- ber of her successful Interpretations the character of VIola That the much neglected and much misunderstood role of Malvolio has been given a scholarly and impressive enactment And that an audience directly representative of the citys intelligent interest In the ater supported the undertaking gen- erously and hoard the performance with delight Surely now that the light of these facts shines on our stags this must be a nappy day for us all A D A MARCELS ART STUDIES AND GOOD BILL AT CHASES George C Davis Makes a Sphinx Laugh and Josephine Sabel Sings hap- pily the Ute I ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ Marcels living art studies are the feature of the bill at Chases this week and were a highly favorable reception night Imitations of the famous basrelief sculptures of antiquity were especially good and were carried uut with remarkable fidelity to detail a well as to the general impression to be conveyed Geonre C Davis whose bill matter given

Jokes adi nrlsjg th old ones In a way that makes them almost as geod as new Josephine Sabel who says she is a chanteuee international pleased as always does although her songs are not well selected The BarrowsLancaster Company of three presents a neat little sketch entitled A Chip of tho Old Block The parts are well taken and the four persons In tho cast act as if they were trying to earn their

Comedy Well Received- A RECONSTRUCTION PLAY Encores for Every Musical Number But Gottschalk Lost in Shuffle To the merry Jlncle of the od tune Dixie a chorus of shouts that took one back to Southern climes and a pic- turesque setting of a country school the curtain at the Columbia Theater rolled up lust nifcht on A Girl From Dixie one of the seasons new from the pen of Harry B Smith The theater was well filled and Just the merest sug- gestion of Dixie from the augmented orchestra was to Inspire all the enthusiasm managers and author could wish A Girl From Dixie is a musical comedy In two acts and Introduces Irene Bentley In the principal role The piece as Its author announces has been con structed for diversion only and the mu- sical element has been made subordinate the comedy There Is sufficient plot to keep ones interest throughout al though tho story makes few demands on ones thinking apparatus Intertwined- are many amusing situations many bright oatchy songs and several spe- cialties that do much toward enlivening the performance- Mr Smith the author has chosen a setting that will continue to servo au- thors and dramatists for many many years the South at the period following the civil war This enabled him at the least to introduce several charm- ing Southern types and to draw from history Just enough socalled atmos phere to please the cosmopolitan public of the Capital City He has done this only so fa as it serves his purpose and with no attempt or Intent to portray facts The piece is a comedy pure and simple and as such entertained to a high degree tho audience at the cA GIRL fROM DIXIE OneFerdinand prod i sufficient to h Colum- bia ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ Many Recalls Demanded- A proof of this might be gathered from tho number of ri ealls accorded the musical Of the seventeen selections which figure oil the program but one failed to receive an encore The contributors to the musical cot Irction range from Dudley Buck to Cole and Johnson the auditor wh could find nothing Between the works of these composers to muSt indeed be difficult to please Among the most noteworthy selections were Bucks Huzza sung by the male chorus Bubbles a picturesque number by Charles Bowers Love in an Orchard- a stirring song given by Albert Hart and chorus and Johnny Strong also rang by Mr Hart Miss Bentley Is aptly fitted with a role which is apparently congenial in that It gives her full license for the display of the many attributes her ad- mirers have known She is a typical little Southern girl with all the lire and Independence of one of the oldest families in Maryland stamped indeli- bly in her character Wise Bentley is sprightly and vivacious throughout the entire piece and altogether prove a most delightful tjrpe of The Girl From Dixie Mr Gottschalk and Others Gathered about her are several well known and popular stag favorite Chief of those are Ferdinand Qottschalk and D L Don comedians of far differ leg qualifications but most capable en- tertainers in their Individual ways Mr Gottschalk has been known as a clever actor and his appearance in a musical comedy while something out of the ordinary in no way takes him away from his usual work He portrays the typical English dude this time a lord and with the monocle and his sumed silly stare he makes the charac- ter another of those inanimate irre- proachable drawings he has so often presented The only regret is that MX- Gottschalk has not been provided with a little more to do D L Don Is one of those players who can take an old part and make the He does this In A Girl From Dixie playing one of those German dialect roles which have long figured in latter day musical Don however realizes the value of repression and does JUt overwork the dialect His musical ability is a byword and happily he to- given an opportunity to introduce his wellknown and clever piano specialty- No less than a dozen recalls rewarded Ida efforts Louise Middleton the erstwhile Lou of Weber Fieldswines badly and poses well The other members of the supporting company are capable- A Girl From Dixie promises to be among the belles of the season BRIGADIERS AT LYCEUM MARCH INTO FAVOR- The

Washington hss looked forward toMiss Allens appearance in Shakespearewith pleasurable anticipation ever sinceshe entered hero so auspiciously uponher career as a star four years ago Herposition in every American community-is most enviable but Washington hasregarded her with something akin toproprietorship since she made her bowfrom this same stage and went out towin success with the encouragement ofthe Capital ringing in her ears
She then as now an admittedmistress of her craft She had then assince directed her energies mainly toplays marked by beauty of text andpurity of substance But the qualities-of her art of that day while they continue to characterize all her movementson the stage have been distinctly andhappily deepened So it is that an en-
hanced value has been given to a personality of bright humor manifest lastnight In a roguish simulation of frolicwhich sparkled through but could nothide the fine seriousness of her Violaa dignified womanhood which spoke Inevery tone of her voice and every actionof her body and to a puritywhich suffused her whole Impersonation

In such a work the chief characterthat of Viola is a figure of poetic beau-ty of tender loveliness of exquisite joyand radiant grace and of steadfast purefind noble affection She has been calledShakespeares ideal of the patien ido-
latry and the devoted silent selfsacrinee of perfect love Rosalind who facommonly regarded asfinest figure of womanly spirituality andrefinement so far as to lure hersweetheart on But Viola ie superior tothat Disguised as a bey she is contestto serve her lord on to the end oven toplead his cause with the woman helovesThat is true love which Teac9 netIts own happiness but the happiness ofits objeot and which feels without anyconscious knowledge that itself is theperfection of human sentiment and thatit may be better to loss than to willThe incarnation of that spirit on thestage requires a person t f equal

of the play into making himselfridiculous The role is ac-
cordingly portrayed generally withoutany part of the dignity which attached-to Malvolios post As over Brutus thestudent and the actor have frequentlydisagreed over this character The
has bean that a wonderfully dra-matic figure filled with tragic interesthas been degenerated Into a buffoonMr Bettcrton Mr Ketnbte Mr Irvingand Mr Taber however thought It noderogation of their station as actors toenact the role as the text requires andIt is most pleasant now to add Mr Blnlrto their number
The impersonation in this instanceunquestionably one of the strongest ele-ments In tho production A descriptionof Mr Irving In tho character fits MrBlair admirably
Lean lank with selfoccupied visageand formal peaked Spanish boarddressed in close garb of black stripedwith yellow and holding a stewardswand in the lightness of which there issomething of fantastic symbolism Malvoile ateiw on the stage with nose Inair and eyes half shut as If In singular and moody contemplation-
An unhappy arrangement of thescenery lessens tho actors opportunityIn the dungeon scene most unforuinalfr-ly but the Impersonation is neverthrtnoteworthy for Its dramatic vigor as itis for the airiness spirit and convictionwith which Mr Blair has Imbued ItAll the Parts Justly Acted
Many laughed last night until theirsides ached but it was not at MalvolioIt was rather with the rarest trio ofcharacters seen in Washington formany a day Sir Toby Belch Sir Andrew Aguecheek and the guilefulMaria acted by Clarence HandysldeFrank Currier and Zeffle Tlllbury MrHandyslde has been seen in many partsand in nono of them be it said with allkindness has he shone But Sir TobyBelch one of the most difficult roles inthe dramatis personae Of all Shakespeare evokes an ability of the bestsort Mr Currier has acted Sir Andrewwith equal success in Other companiesMiss Tlllbury made herself and the roleof Maria notable in one night when inthe company of Beerbohm Tree Thesethree gave the revelry of the comedy acogency which It almost never obtainsand they were rewarded last night by

Rhythm and music are Joined with thehumor of Twelfth Night most
In this entertainment Feats theJester Is permitted to retain two of thesongs which Shakespeare Included hithe text Both pf these have been givena beautiful musical setting by AugustusBarratt and are well sung by EdwinHoward If the Ibis poetry of thecomedy the unusual acting of the supporting members of the cast thescholarship and skill of Mr Blair andthe winsome charm of Miss Allen arenot enough to make the entertainmentaltogether delightful only missingelement is supplied by this music
The conclusion then is this Thatthe perfection of English comedy andthe most fascinating drama in the lan-guage as Twelfth Night has beendenominated by a great scholar hasbeen richly garbed and finely illumi-nated That the charm of the comedyis reOHfiaroed by appropriate andsweet muefc That a lovely and purehearted actress has added to the num-ber of her successful Interpretationsthe character of VIola That the muchneglected and much misunderstood roleof Malvolio has been given a scholarlyand impressive enactment And that anaudience directly representative of thecitys intelligent interest In theater supported the undertaking gen-erously and hoard the performancewith delight Surely now that the lightof these facts shines on our stags thismust be a nappy day for us all
