Mantell, the distinguish- ed Shakespearean actor, like many of his famous predecessors, has seen fit to group with Shakespearean plays “Richelieu.” that famous old drama of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, which, like “Abraham Lincoln,” the Drink- water play of modern times, is rather a character study than a play con- structed along conventional lines and duly observing the generally accepted rules of dramatic construction. And yet, such is the liter: wealth and excellence of “Richelieu’” that the won- derful word painting of the illustri- ous cardinal-statesman of France at once becomes both a portrait and a tensely interesting drama whose high lights and heroics have coupled it to the works of the immortal bard w8 no other play in the wide roster of the drama has ever been linked. It seemed peculiarly fitting, too, that Mr. Mantell should present this offering as the initial number of his repertory at the National Theater last night. i ,Mr. Mantell's conception of the role jof Richelieu and his methods of state- craft probably approaches nearer to that of Booth than the interpreta- tion of other notable tragedians { within the present memory. The age and physical weakness of the great cardinal are apparently ex- aggerated to render more effective he great moments of the drama. such |as the “curse of Rome” threat | eminent among them all, whic delivered with masterful Strong contrast also is presented in the manifestation of the tenderness of the great statesman for his ward, with his sternness and unrelenting fiintiness toward the enemies of France, and surely no fairer »Julie ide Mortimer has evi graced the role than Miss Genevieve Hamper. Mr. Mantell's Richelieu, therefore, is a characterization illumined by con- trasts, but always interesting and times very impressive. A large audi- ence manifested its pleasure in n Ny recalls. George Stillwell made a manly gallant De Mauprat, Franklin Sali bury an adequate Louis, and John Alexander a rather indifferent Bar- adus; but the honors of the cast eas- ily go to Henry Buckler, as Joseph, whose impersonation well accords Amusements chorus was heard proved it to be ex- cellent in tone and ensemble. This evening another of the famous Puccini operas, “La Boheme” will be given with Queena Mario as Mimj, & role she sang in Washington last sea- son with much success. Pop Anson, a Hit. Last night at Keith's many nota- bles among the old base ball fans gathered to pay homage to “Pop” who, Wwith his two pretty daughters, had a part in the evel ing’'s program. Senators, represent tives and heads of government de- partments, principally from the west with many local people of prom- inence, occupied boxes or front seats, and lustily applauded the one-time wonderful” ball player and manager. President Hardjng, it is said, e pected to be thére, but bugtmess a fairs kept him awal “Pop” and his girls_appear in & littie sketch written by Ring Lardner, which introduces songs, recitation and bright dialogue. At the wind- up cotton balls are tossed out to the audience, to be thrown back, while Anson. in uniform, uses his silver bat to drive them back. Many re- calls rewarded the efforts of the old boy and his girls. Kitty Gordon heads the bill with new songs which are well sung. Her marvels of richness and her supporting a good one—embraces mute dancer and several Jack Wilson follows hness and introduces the old movie picture scene wherein Miss Gordon helps out and practically makes the act. Wilson is a clever comedian and a big laugh producer, but a new act would not b miss. That dainty pair of talented fem ininity, Tempest and Sunshine, have something new to offer in original songs and dances. They dress well and their costumes are in good taste. Their efforts were rewarded with prolonged applause. Oth include Maria Lo's art studies; Will Oakland, the well known tenor, whose voice retains its freshness, and strength Pearson, Newport and'Pe batic dancers: “D. D.+H.” in a funny stump speech, and the kinograms and Current Topics. “Echoes of Broadway.” with the traditions and will compare in quiet dignity and respectful sub-: servience to that of many noted ac- tors who have preceded him in that role. Next to Mr. Mantell himself Mr. Buckler may be credited with an excellent and satisfying performance. “The play is adequately and attrac- tively mounted, the candlelight ef- fects contributing much to the im- pression of elaboration in the scenic arrangements, which are rather sim- ple than otherwise. “Mme. Butterfly.” Puccini'’s masterpicce, “Mme. But- terfly,” was given last evening in Poli's Theater, with Anna Fitziu in the title role, at the opening per- formance of the weck's engagement of Fortune Gallo's San Carlo Opera Company. Gaetano Merola conduct- ed with an orchestra splendid to lis- ten to, but strong enough in drown- ing the voices of the singers save in the fortissimos, with the exception of the prima donna and the baritone, Mario Valle. Anna Fitziu thrilled and won her | audience with her dramatic intensity, ! personal grace and superb soprano voice. Not since the initial perform- ance here of “Mme. Butterfly,” more than a dozen years ago, has the opera been so satisfactorily given. Stella de Mette was an excellent “Suzuki.” her rich contralto voice of ample range and strength being most ef- fective throughout, especially in the great third act. Giuseppe Agostini sang the part of the naval officer; Mario Valle that of Sharpless, the United States consul; Natale Cervi, Yamadoro, and Pietro de Biasi, “The Bronze,” Butterfly's father. = Alice Homer, as Kate Pinkerton, and Amedeo Baldi, a8 Goro, the marriage broker, completed the fine cast. Lit- tle “Trouble,” Butterfly's child, seemed rather overgrown for a two-year-old, but acted his part exceedingly well. Anna Fitziu showed herseif to be a great actress as well as a singer with a rare voice, crystalline in its purity and apparently unlimited in range and power. Her tones are even and silvery, and the quality in the middle register is particularly beautiful. Miss Fitziu and de Mette made the famous duo in_the second act a rare gem, while Fitziw's rendering of the miliar aria in this act stamped her a great artist. She gave it with ex-| {quisite refinement of style, delight- | ful phrasing and rare tone color. Her costumes were rich and beautiful. In the last act her acting and singing ran the gamut of the human feelings and her death scene was impressively | realistic. Agostini sang better than | he acted, although he gave a good ac- count of himself in the last scene. Mario Valle's powerful mellow bari- | tone and strong manly personality | brought out the best in the part of { the consul. Few more beautiful bari- tones have been heard here. The trio in the last act between Suzuki, Pink- erton and Sharpless was . superbly | given, with three remarkable voices. The scenes were all beautiful, with | typical Japanese daintiness and bright color, and the few times the Quality, Relia When y reliability of our dental work, and importance of having your work EXPERT, CAREFUL, SKI| ted—you can RELY on thix ex: Terms of Payment to Suit—Exa Large electrically cooled offices— one of our many striking fe My Perfect uction Teeth Will Not or Drop— Other Scts of Teeth, $5.00 up.| No Matter How Discriminating You May Be, You Will Be Delighted With Acts are often much over-billed, but not “Echoes of Broadway.” the latest vaudeville revue of the Twen- tieth Century Producing Company, which is winning ovations at every performance at the Cosmos Theater this week. Billy Sharpe, a fine min- strel dancer, is featured in a com- pany of “all artists,” even the in- strumental quintet which furnishes most of the accompaniments, many solos and music from jazz to the classic being far above the usual. There are a singer, who gives a creditable imitation of the great Caruso; a nut comedian, unique and laughable, and handsome women, who sing beautiful ballads and character songs and offer other specialties of the highest class and with finished art. The little show—for it is a show in itself—is handsomely staged and costumad, and is full of life and pretty music. Another feature is “W. S. B.,"” one of the best monologists in story and action that ever ap- peared in Washington, whose tribute to “Woman" brings a thrill that is only surpassed by his brochure on “Water.” Other acts include a dar- ing and thrilling exhibition of feats |=s of balancing and equilibrium by the Fiorzies; a laughing scream, “The Sound Cure,” by Joe Detzell and Pete Carroll; gn amusing bit of novel com- edy by Simpson and Deane, in “The Tea Party,” and a pretentious offer- ing of songs and dances, classic and toe. with an astonishing climax.

TULIP TIME ATTRACTS HUNDREDS TO SPLENDOR OF POTOMAC PARK BEDS P Itkl- tulip time down in Potomac ark. ‘What is conceded to be one of the most remarkable, as well as beautiful, floral sights of its kind ever seen {n Washington is pre- Ssented by the large group of tulip beds located in W est Potomac Park, immediately south of the bridge leading to the tidal basin. ‘These flowers have been in full bloom for three or four days. a.d as the word of thelr presence and their beauty is being spread about the visitors to that point of the park are increasing daily. Several thousand persons visited the beds Yesterday, besides the hundreds of persons in automobiles who stop- Pped to gase upon the sight. Col. Sherrill, newly appointed su- perintendent of public buildings and grounds, was one of yester- day's visitors, and he was enthu- siagtic over the beauty of the thou- sands of tdlips. He said he hoped every onme in Washington would have the opportunity to see the display while it 1aats, as it is deem- ed by authorities to be one of the finest displays of tulips ever seen nywhere in_this country. comedians, 18 the attraction at the Gayety this week. These two come dians ‘are about a8 good as any pair in burlesque, but their work would be better appreciated if new lines were injected in their act and the old re- tired after long and honorable serv- ice. RBilly Foster, with funny laughs and grimaces, keeps the audicnce in good humor and proved quite an ar- tist on the harmonica last night in ac- companying Frank Harcourt in an ec- centric_dance number. Libby Hart, Kitty Glasco and oLuise Barlow sang good songs that met with apprecia- tion, Libby Hart making the real song it of the evening with an old favor- ite, “La Paloma.” Others in the cast are Marty Semon, Harry Weil, Arthur Mallon and Andy Bennett. A realistic etting, showing a storm at sea, and another, an aviation fleld with a working imitation of a flylng ma- chine, are features of the show. The chorus is seen to advantage in many groupings in which novel lighting ef- fects dre used. NURSES’ HOME BOMBED. Colored Hospital Attendants Es- cape Serious Injury.
