The best work was done by R BFerguson who took the part of Ecclesthe drunken father Mr Fergusons Imitation of a sot who prates about thewrongs of the workingman was splendidHe did not overdo his part as so manyimitators of drunkards arc wont to do onthe stage but at the same time did notsuppress any of the nervous abandonwhich marks the behavior of characterssuch as old man Eccles

Grace Atwell as Polly Eccles theharumscarum daughter of oldEccles was delightful She bouncedaround the stage in a manner that wasirresistible and her love scenes withGeoffrey Stein who took the part ofSamuel Gerrldge won merited approvalfrom the audience Mr Stein was anable second to Miss Atwell

Eugene Ormondo and Allda Cortolyouthe devoted lovers wore up to expectatlons and did not spoil tholr parts byrunning to melodrama Wallace Worsley as Captain Hawtreo acted well butenunciated poorly and some of his bestlines were lost

Lafayette The Girl From ParisThat portion of Washingtons theater

going population destined to remain hereduring the summer will hall the adventof the Glffen musical comedy companywhich opened an Indefinite season at theLafayette Square Opera House lastnight The Initial performance was TheGirl From Paris familiar as a lightbreozy and refreshing comedy brimfulof the elements that please It was presented with a spirit of dash and Ufo byan excellent cast and received an enthusiastic greeting from a large audi-ence

The vivacious young maid from gayPareo Is a difficult role well portrayedby Miss Deyo While the part makes nogreat demand on histrionic art It requlros beauty grace vim and activity-to bo enacted with pleasing effect Butthose conditions arc no stumbling blockfor Miss Dcyo She meets the require-ments In every particular In fact sheexcels in some characteristics Theseare principally beauty and grace Butfortunately she does not rest on hernatural laurels That has proven disastrous to many ascending stars andMiss Deyo has profited by the experience of her predecessors Sho workshard to create a desirable impressionand she does

The humor of the play Is its life andIt Is highly important that tho funmakers have ability in this line It lafortunate therefore that John E YoungIs a droll Ebenezer Honeycomb thatSylvester James understands the ridiculous character of Hans proprietor ofthe Hotel Spa and that Arthur Barryhas personality In the role of MajorFossdyke As August Pompier a Frenchspy Charles Glblyn was well receivedwhile Arthur Hurleign made an ex-cellent Amos Dingle Mottle Martz asMrs Honeycomb Margaret BurnhamNora the daughter created a decidedlyfavorable Imprcssslon

The chorus Is graceful and fairlylarge The singing showed thoroughtraining and tho costuming Is prettyIt would probably bo of interest toWashington to know that a ofthe chorus is Walter Pnschnll wellknown In tho younger set here Ho hashad some experience on the stage having boon with the Ben Hur company inthe past season
