OPENING ATTRACTIONS IN WASHINGTON THEATERS HUBERT-BELASCO — “The Patsy.” With a stereotyped background of umily, clashes, a striking personality 1 & drama with an original plot, is itroduced at the Shubert-Belasco this eek. ““The Patsy,” with the popular lajborne Foster as the figure of chief iterest, already has an established lace on the stage, and it is especially elcome because it succeeds in arous. & Interest without any of the device: 1at in some other productions tend to bacure the finer human qualities. Whether the character of Patri Its the talents of Claiborne ¢ the personality of the actre: B e thie of Patricia, it is evident, as bserved at last evening's perform- nce, that here {s an attractive young erson of quality, whose every move wurries the attention and interest of \e observer. It is also a matter of \tisfaction that the leading member i the company has been surrounded a company of players singularly ell adapted to the roles that con- tbute to the working out of the cidents of the play. Miss Foster enters with mnotable Mrit into the unconventional picture a girl who feels acutely the pleasant nd sant experiences of life; ho dreams In a vivid way of her own neccess, and who enlivens with bits f clever philosophy the family atmos: here of sordid ambition, in which she as seemed out of place. A self- ~eking sister and mother furnish the ontrast to her personality, which ves force to the plot The unusual point to be noted in 1S performance is t it_skillfully /mbines both the analysix of a highly motional nature and the rapid action ‘hich gives the play its popularity onsidering the simple character of 1e plot, either of these factors would 4l if they were not combined. There also a reminder of dramatic tradi- on fn the fact that Patri oine, volces some frre isdan which make h odern feminine versic by her own vith the dis- ] r in the form- . in which 1 receives lessons in love from the wth who is her own object of af- . but who is unaware of that upil has successfully those who assist Miss Foste ph Allen and Lucia Moore, parents of the girl, they ‘ed in gHVing a picture of a mutually lligerent couple, which is done with high degree of realism.

They are away down at the foot of the pro- gram, but the audience patiently awaited their act. After being in- troduced by their aunt, the girls gave 1n imitation of the Duncan sisters, their voices blending sweetly. Then came a saxophone duet which was very well done. The Trado Twins, footwork of the quartette in perfect time and swift ac This closed the act and Daisy Violet were forced to bow to a half- dozen recalls. Jay C. Flippin, the colored come- dian” from the big New York revue, made the laughing hit of the evening. Edward Stanisloff, probably the best of the foreign dancers, assisted by acie, presented an unusually good dancing act, all the steps being orig- inal, graceful and intricate. Winnie Baldwin, who drifts this way entire- Iy too seldom, recorded a big hit in peppery songs and characterizations, getting a laugh for almost every line of her act. Frances and Frank opened the show with clever work on the flying rings; the Trado Twins followed In_a PERPETUAL BUILDING I ASSOCIATION PAYS ‘ Compounded Semi-Annually Assets Over $13,000,000 Surplus, $1,000,000 "Cor. 11th & E Sts.
