Fritzl Scheir In Mile MoilistcHeard at the New National

The very distinguished audience whichfilled almost to overflowing the New Na-tional Theater last evening went awaythoroughly satisfied with its evenings en-

tertainment In these days of mediocrity-in the neW of musical comedy and comicopera such a bright piece as MileModiste is deserving of the second sea-

son of success which it is now enjoyingIn it Manager Charles Diitlmjharj henfound after two or more trials of lessnotable operettas a suitable vehicle forFritz Scheff

Henry Blossom the author has fur-

nished a libretto which fairly scintillateswith sharp dialogue and breezy Americanhumor The story lays claim to no strik-ing originality but serves adequately as asentimental undercurrent for tho moreattractive episodes of jest and song MrHerberts music is of the muslclanlyquality which te dtsptaytd In some ofhis earlier works The Serenade or

Cyrano for examples and the num-

bers which are sung by the star areespecially commendable

Onto a flowerbedecked stage peopledwith pretty girls and dashing soldiersthere flashes upon the sense andagain a pair of dainty feet and ankles-a trim petite figure snowwhite neck andarms a pkpiaaUy pretty face with adelicious retrousse nose and a pair ofroguish eyes the whole surmounted bya glory of glinting bronzebrown hairIt to Frltei Scheff After the eye hasfeasted upon this vision there entrancesthe ear a series of liquid birdlike notesbreaking upon the tympanum like show-ers of pearly spray upon a beach Thatis Fritsts voice In range and execu-tion Miss SchefTs voice leaves little to bedesired While not rich it te clear

land exquisitely trained In the flute penssges of her final song site honestly de-

served the ovation which followed Itsconclusion Her song as the mascot ofthe regiment affords Miss Scheff acharming bit of comedy work nin whichalluring mischievousness wasUpon a large floral bear of the prevail-ing mode being hoisted upon the stageover the footlights she laughed asheartily and as spontaneously as aay onein the house

Dl l y Bell In The Education of 3Irnt the tolnmbia

Charles Dana Gibsons drawings ofThe Education of Mr Plpp dramatized

by Augustus Thomas were presented fora second time in Washington by DigbyBell and his supporting company at theColumbia Theater last night An audi-ence that comfortably tilled the theatercame to view them and gave every evi-

dence of finding them in their new formquite as entertaining as in the originalThe cold satirical humor of the penandink work of Gibson has been warmed andexpanded into broad farce by AugustusThomas and no one who knows DigbyBell need be told that he splashed on

frcm time to time generous daubs ofburlesque on his own account

Perhaps this would be inevitable withany comedian who would essay such arole as that of Mr Pipp To play itstraight might give pleasure to a

handful of the more critical but on themast of the average audience the effectwould probably be far less laughterproyoking than as Digby Bell plays it Augustus Thomas calls his dramatization-of the famous drawings a comedy Hewould have difficulty In making good aclaim to that classification for the piecein any court of competent theatricaljurisdiction-

It Is a farce of tho broadly satiricalsort and that no doubt is the secret ofits success in the hands of the playerswho have presented it As a genuinecomedy it would require the most defthandling by people of unusual accom-plishments In the niceties of stage workAnd done in this way Its appeal wouldbe far more limited than Is now the case

Digby Bell as Mr Plpp l s ceased asa result of long playing of the part totake his role seriously and the consequence Is the audience Is kept guessingwhether he is really a henpecked husband or merely a jollier who pretends-to let his wife run things in order tokeep matters moving with reasonablesmoothness on the domestic surface Inthis way the effectiveness of the per-formance is marred for some althoughprobably most of his patrons find morepleasure In his lapses from what appearsto have been the authors conception orthe rqle than they do in the odd mo-

ments when he sticks to his textThe supporting company is not as

competent as the one that purroundodthe star last season Possibly this hasIts effect on Mr Bells playing Mr StClair cast for the part of the count didnot appear last night and his place wastaken by Frank Powell who did verywell indeed under the circumstancesBelle GRffnoy as Mrs PIcP would addgreatly to the effectiveness of her work

Drown of Harvard an Enthniiiaatic Reception nt UclnneoBrown of Harvard a play of Ameri-

can college life by Rida Johnson Youngwith Henry Woodruff in the title rolewas received by a large audience at theBetaaco feat night It seems almost pennk deal that such a true and stirringpicture of college life could here beencreated by a women Its general tone isdear and wholesome and although someof the darker sides of university life-r touched upon they are crowded to

the background by the allpermeatingquality of youthful exuberance andmanltnese exhibited by the majority ofthe characters Mrs Young is to beheartily congratulated upon the successof Brown of Harvard for in conjunc-tion with Glorious Betsy it cetrainlyentities her to high place among Ameri-can piaywriters

Tom Brown a wealthy student at Har-vard is the central character He hasplenty of mosey a great big heartenough muscle to help materially in wtasing an international boat race He helpsout of his trouble every one who applys which quality while it assures Mmhosts of friends is responsible formost of his troubles In the first place hesecretly agrees to pay the way of GeraldThorne a poor young man through col-lege and then lends money to WilfredKenyon a dissolute classmate withwhose sister Evlyn the hero is in loveThe Harvard eight is about to meet achampion allEngland crew and GeraldThorne whose nature has become itnbittered by poverty develops into agreat oarsman and is chosen to strokethe varsity crew while Tom Brownfamiliarly called the Kid is the lead-ing substitute Kenyon has become in-

volved in an affair with Thomes sis-ter Marion and urged by Victor Coltonwhose betting methods are irregular heforges Browns check and plans an elope-ment with the girl His accomplice whoalms to blast the chances of the Har-vard crew by causing the absence ofthe wonderful stroke Gerald Thornehands the latter a note from his sisteron the eve of the contest This causesTheme to throw up his place and leaveTom Brown the substitute assumes hisplace and by rowing a tremendous racebeats the Englishmen by a length Whilehe is receiving an ovation Theme reap-pears and accuses him of ruining his sister and the presentation of the forgedcheck which be found in her possessiongives considerable strength to his accusa-tion The finale to the race and this epi-

sode gives a double climax to the thirdact Of course all is straightened out inthe end and the course of true love goeson smoothly The action throughout israpid and consistent

Henry Woodruff as Tom Brown is inhis element making the character ex-actly what the college idol should beunselfish to prodigality full of rollickinggood humor and with a fine nature atbottom He is especially strong In theracing scene and in the pathetic periods-of tho closing act Altogether MrsYoungs hero finds an eminently fittingrepresentative in Mr Woodruff
