CHRISTMAS BUYING More Attention Iny Be Had Before Runli Bcsrins- 5Ier8hants of Washington are greatly pleased with the manner in which resi- dents of the city have responded to the suggestion that Christmas shopping should be done early Many already have made nearly all their Christmas purchases and are free from the thought and worry usually at- tendant upoh that annual duty The storekeepers are also through with the showing of goods and making sales to these persons But the retail dealers are under the im- pression tlwt there are a great many who have put oft purchase of Christmas gifts and that this number greatly ex leeds those who have taken time by the forelock and have their Christmas shopping Tho merchants think that many more than the number who have k completed their shopping should come out this week and examine tho large stocks Of goods offered for the holidays At loast more attention can bo given customers before the real rush begins Monument IN Favored At a largely

audience distinguished and typi cal of Washington at beet is called on the programme The Parisian Model but the name really doesnt matter Everybody calls It the Anna Held Show and that is a much more distinc- tive and apt title The hook such as it is is by Harry B Smith the music by MAX Hoffman but the presiding genius of the wholo affair the man behind the gun- s Jt wore Is Eloronz Ziegfeld jr the husband of Anna Held It Is he who is responsible for much of the interpolated music for the which none more gorgeous or ornate have been seen lu a musical comedy and for those tricks of stagecraft which make all of the shows which he produces like chain- ed doing from the curtains rise to its fall The story of The Parisian Model does not matter at all The only thing that counts is that the curtain goes up at a stage brilliantly and artistically lighted crowded from the back to the footlights with nimblefooted smiling and pretty girls that tune succeeds tune dance succeeds dance and laugh suc- ceeds laugh With a rapidity and dex- terity that no one cares to keep count of costumes are changed the most gorgeous hues all the colors of the rainbow all the beauty of the peacock a kaleidoscope of tints silks satins jewels flowers each picture more striking than the last There are four scones and the show is a long one and yet through it all there is hardly a moment when the stage is not filled with some now and startling num- ber There is never a pause in the fun it is all one breathless dash of audacity and beauty that ends with the unlquo skating rink scene In the first act which shows a dress- making establishment where Miss Held is the model opportunity Is given fbr the of Parisian gowns and the star herself changes no less than eight times in the course of one song In the second act the feature is Miss Held in that song which has been copied so ex- tensively but never bofore sung properly- In Washington I Just Cant Make My Eyes Behave and another feature Is Wont You Be My Teddy Excel lent too was Ma Cherle and Wont You Be My Honey sung in French by M Leon But all tho way through tho show there is surprise after surprise There Is a fine number In tho first act called The Whistling Yankee Girl and a bully duet by Miss Hold and Otis Harlan called A Lesson in Kissing Then in the second act there Is the surprise of the artists models a number that seems to promise all sorts of things but which ends in a surprise that sends the audience into a roar of laughter Then Mr Harlan hasa topical song In Washington song that hits pretty hard at some of the foi- bles of Washington society but which was received with a storm of applause last night and got at least a dozen en cores Another pretty song in this act Is San Francisco Bay In the last apt there is a number that is unique called Bells in which a large chorus of pretty girls comes with sleigh bells attached to their costumes and the tunes they play and the way they play them makes a de- cided hit Following this comes the best song in the show sung by Miss Held and Mr Leoni Its Delightful to Be Married tuneful dainty and whistleable By a clever device the scene is shifted to the skating rink and the largo chorus of girls has been taught to skate gracefully so that the picture Is both startling and pretty To help the act out there is Miss Bertha Mack a champion feminine skater and Mr Earle Reynolds another champion skater with some chaps who do on skates comedy stunts that are unique The Parisian Model would seem to be the last word In the way of an Anna Held show Certainly here Manager Ziegfeld has surpassed all his previous efforts it Is a better In a different his other success Tho Follies of 1907 Miss Held who is center of at traction in this show shows decided Irii provement in her art She never looked better than she did last night In spite of her recent illness and she plays with- a verve and vivacity that ls charming She is surrounded by a firstclass com- pany Otis Harlan to whose hands the comedy is intrusted Is very funny he can both sing and dance and his In Washington was one of the hits of the evening In Mr Henri Leoni Mr Zleg field has secured an actor who can really sing He has a voice of remarkably fine quality and he uses It to great advantage Miss Edith Decker is another singer who adds much to the entertainment Clever work is done In a small part by Mr Eugene Redding and F Stanton Heck was very funny as Hercule But back of the principals and con- tributing much of the gayety and Joyous ness and laughter of the show Is the big chorus of pretty girlsgirts who dance and sing as if they really liked It so that their merriment Is contagious and car- ries over the footlights That Maurice Levi Is the musical director also helps a lotThat the show was heartily enjoyed was evidenced by the frequency of the encores the fervency of the applause- It showed that The Parisian Model Is a sure cure for the blues an enemy to dull care

Washington Citizens Associa- tion last nfght looking to an Investigation Into the best method to assist In obtain ing cheaper gas In Washington After- a full discussion of the subject a special committee was appointed composed of rum Benjamin LaTFover N L Chew and Dr Jesse Schtyirt to make the investi- gation and report to the association This action was taken after It had boon suggested that the body appropriate from the treasury to assist In the gas campaign which was objected to on the part of several members including J JI Keniper who declared that the nsso elation should contribute no money until more knowledge had been obtained as to the methods of Its expenditure During the meeting suggestions were made vela tlye to the Improvement of In the vicinity and a plan was to enlarge the membership of tho organi- zation J 10 st ets discussed ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ Columbia Brewiters Millions The opening performance of Brewsters Millions with Edward Aleles In the title role At the Columbia Theater was oc complishod with the most pAPPY sur- roundings a largo audience being in at- tendance The play is a dramatization of George Barr McCutchcons story by Wlnchell Smith and Byron Ongley crystallzing the story into four vigorous acts and particu- larly preserving the comedy elements of the tale It is tho story of Montgomery Brewster who Inherits a fortune from his miserly grandfather who had 111 treated the heros mother and only lOft his money to the grandson because there was no one else to leave It to Shortly after a maternal uncle dies leaving Brewster 7000000 upon condition that within a year he dissipates every cent of the previous inheritance and presents him self at the expiration of the time limit a pauper Monty accepts the conditions and starts out to fulfill thorn and finds it quite as hard to got rid of a fortune as to acquire one He subsidizes a fake business house employing most of his male friends at princely salaries play angel to an opera company incidentally Including a prima donna risen from the chorus ranks and takes a large party around tho world on a yachting cruise almost alienates the affections of Peggy Grey be has loved since childhood and seems about to accomplish his contract by financing to the extent of his last half million when he is nearly thwarted by his friends declaring him Insane and tak ing charge of the ship during a storm but ho accomplishes his purpose by hoist- Ing a distress signal and making himself liable to a salvage charge of 500000 the payment of which makes him penniless and In form to receive his uncles for tune The wholo proceedings Is accom- panied with a succession of remarkably humorous events with of course the necessary underlying strata of sentiment The story In Its dramatic form fully sus- tains the reputation of the novel as a means of prolonged and delightful enter- tainment The scenic arrangements of the pelce go considerably beyond ordinary bounds especially In the third act when the ac- tion Is carried forward on the dock of a yacht cruising the waters of the Med- iterranean The sea vista Is painted with unusual fidelity to nature and the rolling of the ship the storm and other features are accomplished with great realism The principal figure in the cast Is Mr George Aleles as Monty Brewster He Is an unctuous comedian carrying the comedy periods to a high degree of mer- riment and Is very effective In the melo dramatic point which marks the climax and Miss Mary Ryan as Peggy makes a demure and pretty heroine They are as sisted by a strong cast lead by Joseph Woodburn as Joseph McCloud Sumifr Gard as Vanderpool Leslie Bas sett as Hopper Harrison and Emily Lytton as Mrs De MUle The play had a long run in New York and seems destined to carry the success along the road The Belnsco The Girl of the Golden West What is the third and said to be the last engagement of Blanche Bates In David Belascos melodrama of Girl of the Golden West began at tho Belasco Theater last night The longevity exhibited by this play Is not especially remarkable for a Belasco production but The Girl Is less of a production as the term goes and more of a thriller than Is usually developed fnftn the fertile Belasco brain and as turlllers In picturesque garb are rare In tho higher class theaters The Girl has enjoyed considerable popularity that a play of finer grain might possibly have failed to command Compared with a play of manners like Truth The Girl of the Golden West seems even uncouth but its at- mosphere is so thoroughly vitalized by dramatic Interest that oven outside of the one or two now familiar melodra matic tricks in Its construction there Is enough of plausible action to make it a genuine play and one which while dis- tinctly localized and narrow In physical scope holds a theme broad enough to convey a good moral lesson Miss Bates Is a charming artiste who In everything she does shows sincerity and freshness only second to her native talent Herself a daughter of California she has caught thoroughly the spirit of The Girl and she delivers her lines with great feeling She Is especially con- vincing in the first act and it was a hardened theatergoer indeed whose eyes did not moisten at The Girls recital of the struggles of the hardy pioneers whoso burdens and joys she could so well appreciate- In the character of Jack Rance the gambler and sheriff Cuyler Hastings was a noteworthy figure He makes no at tempt to vary the part from the concep- tion which Frank Keenan so thoroughly stamped upon his audiences and in more than one instance the difference in the actors of the part was not noticeable so closely does Mr Hastings resemble his predecessor It Is much to Hastings Look Your doctor tell you why Hair Vigor promptly

TIME FOR CHRISTMAS BUYING

More Attention Iny Be Had BeforeRunli Bcsrins-

5Ier8hants of Washington are greatlypleased with the manner in which resi-dents of the city have responded to thesuggestion that Christmas shoppingshould be done early

Many already have made nearly alltheir Christmas purchases and are freefrom the thought and worry usually at-tendant upoh that annual duty Thestorekeepers are also through with theshowing of goods and making sales tothese persons

But the retail dealers are under the im-pression tlwt there are a great many whohave put oft purchase of Christmasgifts and that this number greatly exleeds those who have taken time by theforelock and have their Christmasshopping

Tho merchants think that many morethan the number who have k completedtheir shopping should come out this weekand examine tho large stocks Of goodsoffered for the holidays At loast moreattention can bo given customers beforethe real rush begins

AT LOCAL PLAYHOUSESMew National Annn HeltlM ShowThe entertainment nt the New National

Theater this weolr which drew a crowdedhouse the audience distinguished and typical of Washington at beet is calledon the programme The Parisian Modelbut the name really doesnt matterEverybody calls It the Anna HeldShow and that is a much more distinc-tive and apt title The hook such as it isis by Harry B Smith the music by MAX

Hoffman but the presiding genius of thewholo affair the man behind the gun-s Jt wore Is Eloronz Ziegfeld jr the

husband of Anna Held It Is he who isresponsible for much of the interpolatedmusic for the whichnone more gorgeous or ornate have beenseen lu a musical comedy and for thosetricks of stagecraft which make all ofthe shows which he produces like chain-ed doing from thecurtains rise to its fall

The story of The Parisian Model doesnot matter at all The only thing thatcounts is that the curtain goes up at

a stage brilliantly and artisticallylighted crowded from the back to thefootlights with nimblefooted smiling andpretty girls that tune succeeds tunedance succeeds dance and laugh suc-ceeds laugh With a rapidity and dex-

terity that no one cares to keep count ofcostumes are changed the most gorgeoushues all the colors of the rainbow all thebeauty of the peacock a kaleidoscope oftints silks satins jewels flowers eachpicture more striking than the last Thereare four scones and the show is a longone and yet through it all there ishardly a moment when the stage is notfilled with some now and startling num-ber There is never a pause in the funit is all one breathless dash of audacityand beauty that ends with the unlquoskating rink scene

In the first act which shows a dress-making establishment where Miss Heldis the model opportunity Is givenfbr the of Parisian gowns andthe star herself changes no less than eighttimes in the course of one song In thesecond act the feature is Miss Held inthat song which has been copied so ex-

tensively but never bofore sung properly-In Washington I Just Cant Make MyEyes Behave and another feature Is

Wont You Be My Teddy Excellent too was Ma Cherle and WontYou Be My Honey sung in French byM Leon

But all tho way through tho show thereis surprise after surprise There Is a finenumber In tho first act called TheWhistling Yankee Girl and a bully duetby Miss Hold and Otis Harlan called ALesson in Kissing Then in the secondact there Is the surprise of the artistsmodels a number that seems to promiseall sorts of things but which ends in asurprise that sends the audience into aroar of laughter Then Mr Harlan hasatopical song In Washington songthat hits pretty hard at some of the foi-bles of Washington society but whichwas received with a storm of applauselast night and got at least a dozen encores Another pretty song in this act Is

San Francisco Bay In the last aptthere is a number that is unique called

Bells in which a large chorus of prettygirls comes with sleigh bells attached totheir costumes and the tunes they playand the way they play them makes a de-cided hit

Following this comes the best song inthe show sung by Miss Held and MrLeoni Its Delightful to Be Marriedtuneful dainty and whistleable By aclever device the scene is shifted to theskating rink and the largo chorus ofgirls has been taught to skate gracefullyso that the picture Is both startling andpretty To help the act out there is MissBertha Mack a champion feminineskater and Mr Earle Reynolds anotherchampion skater with some chaps whodo on skates comedy stunts that areunique

The Parisian Model would seem to bethe last word In the way of an Anna Heldshow Certainly here Manager Ziegfeldhas surpassed all his previous efforts itIs a better In adifferent his other success

Tho Follies of 1907Miss Held who is center of at

traction in this show shows decided Iriiprovement in her art She never lookedbetter than she did last night In spiteof her recent illness and she plays with-a verve and vivacity that ls charmingShe is surrounded by a firstclass com-pany Otis Harlan to whose hands thecomedy is intrusted Is very funny hecan both sing and dance and his InWashington was one of the hits of theevening In Mr Henri Leoni Mr Zlegfield has secured an actor who can reallysing He has a voice of remarkably finequality and he uses It to great advantageMiss Edith Decker is another singer whoadds much to the entertainment Cleverwork is done In a small part by MrEugene Redding and F Stanton Heckwas very funny as Hercule

But back of the principals and con-tributing much of the gayety and Joyousness and laughter of the show Is the bigchorus of pretty girlsgirts who danceand sing as if they really liked It so thattheir merriment Is contagious and car-ries over the footlights That MauriceLevi Is the musical director also helps alotThat the show was heartily enjoyedwas evidenced by the frequency of theencores the fervency of the applause-It showed that The Parisian Model Is asure cure for the blues an enemy to dullcare No wonder It ran thirtyfive weeksIn New York HECTOR FULLER

Columbia Brewiters MillionsThe opening performance of Brewsters

Millions with Edward Aleles In the titlerole At the Columbia Theater was occomplishod with the most pAPPY sur-roundings a largo audience being in at-tendance

The play is a dramatization of GeorgeBarr McCutchcons story by WlnchellSmith and Byron Ongley crystallzing thestory into four vigorous acts and particu-larly preserving the comedy elements ofthe tale

It is tho story of Montgomery Brewsterwho Inherits a fortune from his miserlygrandfather who had 111 treated the herosmother and only lOft his money to thegrandson because there was no oneelse to leave It to Shortly after amaternal uncle dies leaving Brewster7000000 upon condition that within a

year he dissipates every cent of theprevious inheritance and presents himself at the expiration of the time limita pauper

Monty accepts the conditions and startsout to fulfill thorn and finds it quite ashard to got rid of a fortune as to acquireone He subsidizes a fake business houseemploying most of his male friends atprincely salaries play angel to anopera company incidentally Including aprima donna risen from the chorus ranksand takes a large party around tho worldon a yachting cruise almost alienatesthe affections of Peggy Grey behas loved since childhood and seemsabout to accomplish his contract byfinancing to the extent of his last halfmillion when he is nearly thwarted byhis friends declaring him Insane and taking charge of the ship during a stormbut ho accomplishes his purpose by hoist-Ing a distress signal and making himselfliable to a salvage charge of 500000 thepayment of which makes him pennilessand In form to receive his uncles fortune The wholo proceedings Is accom-panied with a succession of remarkablyhumorous events with of course thenecessary underlying strata of sentimentThe story In Its dramatic form fully sus-tains the reputation of the novel as ameans of prolonged and delightful enter-tainment

The scenic arrangements of the pelcego considerably beyond ordinary boundsespecially In the third act when the ac-tion Is carried forward on the dock of ayacht cruising the waters of the Med-iterranean The sea vista Is painted withunusual fidelity to nature and the rollingof the ship the storm and other featuresare accomplished with great realism

The principal figure in the cast Is MrGeorge Aleles as Monty Brewster HeIs an unctuous comedian carrying thecomedy periods to a high degree of mer-riment and Is very effective In the melodramatic point which marks the climaxand Miss Mary Ryan as Peggy makes ademure and pretty heroine They are assisted by a strong cast lead by JosephWoodburn as Joseph McCloud SumifrGard as Vanderpool Leslie Bassett as Hopper Harrison and EmilyLytton as Mrs De MUle

The play had a long run in New Yorkand seems destined to carry the successalong the road

The Belnsco The Girl of the GoldenWest

What is the third and said to be thelast engagement of Blanche Bates InDavid Belascos melodrama of

Girl of the Golden West began attho Belasco Theater last night

The longevity exhibited by this play Isnot especially remarkable for a Belascoproduction but The Girl Is less of aproduction as the term goes and moreof a thriller than Is usually developedfnftn the fertile Belasco brain and asturlllers In picturesque garb are rare Intho higher class theaters The Girl hasenjoyed considerable popularity that aplay of finer grain might possibly havefailed to command

Compared with a play of manners likeTruth The Girl of the Golden

West seems even uncouth but its at-mosphere is so thoroughly vitalized bydramatic Interest that oven outside ofthe one or two now familiar melodramatic tricks in Its construction there Isenough of plausible action to make it agenuine play and one which while dis-tinctly localized and narrow In physicalscope holds a theme broad enough toconvey a good moral lesson

Miss Bates Is a charming artiste whoIn everything she does shows sincerityand freshness only second to her nativetalent Herself a daughter of Californiashe has caught thoroughly the spirit of

The Girl and she delivers her lineswith great feeling She Is especially con-vincing in the first act and it was ahardened theatergoer indeed whose eyesdid not moisten at The Girls recitalof the struggles of the hardy pioneerswhoso burdens and joys she could sowell appreciate-

In the character of Jack Rance thegambler and sheriff Cuyler Hastings wasa noteworthy figure He makes no attempt to vary the part from the concep-tion which Frank Keenan so thoroughlystamped upon his audiences and in morethan one instance the difference in theactors of the part was not noticeable soclosely does Mr Hastings resemble hispredecessor It Is much to Hastings
