i Shakespeare's delightful comedy,
"Twelfth Night," which Viola Allen will
present at The Helllg theater tomor
row night, has kept its place on the
' boards for over 300 years, and almost
every actres of consequence has, dur
ing these several ceifturles, essayed the
role of Viola. This Is a remarkable
record. Indeed, and one which might
well be extended to the limit of spec
r,ulatlon. for as William Winter said,
"as long as humor can gratify and
' loveliness fascinate the human mind
" there Is no likelihood that 'Twelfth
Night' will fall into neglect." "Twelfth
Night" was seen for the first time in
New York in 1804 at the Park Theater,
a Mrs. Johnson being the Viola. But
this was not the first American per
formance, since the comedy was pre
sented In Boston In 1794. In the olden
days, one of the most remarkable casts
was that of 1852, when Burton ap
peared as Sir Toby, Lester Wallack as
Sir Andrew, Henry Placlde a the
clown, and Lizzie Western as Viola.
"Twelfth Night" was seen repeatedly,
but in 1877 the fair Adalaide Neilson
appeared In "an expuipite embodiment
of Viola," Augustln Daly's first pro
duction of the comedy was seen in
1869 at the old Fifth Avenue Theater,
in Twenty-fourth street. In this pro
duction Daviige was the Sir Toby,
George Clarke the Malvlolo, Fanny
Davenport as Mara Marua, and 1 Mrs.
Scott-Slddons the Viola. Adalaide
Neileon was the Viola of Mr. Daly's
second production at the Fifth Avenue
Theater, In Twenty-eighth street.
Fanny Davenport was a later and ex
cellent Viola, and In recent years the
play has been given many notable pre
sentations, notably those In which
Julia Marlowe, Ada Rehan and Marie
Wainwrlght appeared as Viola. Miss
Viola Allen's forthcoming appearance
of Viola in "Twelfth Night" has ex
cited a great deal of Interest among
the theater-goers since Viola In this
delightful comedy Is a role which Is
admirably suited to her delightful per
sonality and fine abilities as an actress.
But this will not be Miss Allen's first
appearance as a Shakespearean her
oine. . One of her earliest appearances
on the.'stage was as Juliet and Des
demona. This new presentation (J
"Twelfth Night" both as to company
and production, promises to be a very
notable one. It is not often that so
fine a company of players as that will
support Miss Allen la brought to

SOCIAL SEASON IN WASHINGTON NOT
ENDED BY THE COMING OF SUMMER
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION, WITH ARRIVAL OF FOREIGN
WARSHIPS AND THEIR OFFICERS, KEEPS UP ACTIVITY
WASHINGTON, June 9 (Special
Correspondence.) The Jamestown
Exposition, with the arrival of
. foreign ships and their officers, has fur
nished Washington with a series of pleas
urable events which not even an unusual
ly severe battle between Old Sol and the
elements could materially lessen. Indeed,
the longer the Summer Is delayed the bet
. ter pleased are the hosts of the National
. Capital; this, too, despite the fact that
f porch parties and other popular al fresco
entertainments have been made conspicu
ous by their absence from the Spring
calendar.
One of the most delightful open-air
companies of the season assembled at the
country home of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Glover, when their daughter, wife of the
Minister from The Netherlands, invited
official and resident society to meet Ad
xilral Baron von Asbeck. commander of
the visiting Dutch fleet, anchored In
Hampton Roads. The afternoon was per
fect, and the filmy garden-party dresses
worn by the women contrasted well with
the plainer afternoon clothes of the men,
which also gave added brilliancy to the
uniforms of the guests of honor and Uncle
Sam's Navy officers, and formed a never-to-be-forgotten
picture with , a natural
setting.
The most elaborate entertainment com
plimentary to the French officers took the
form of a dinner and evening reception
at the French Embassy, which was trans
formed Into a veritable flower garden for
the occasion, and made even more bril
liant by the presence of the military and
naval attaches of the several Embassies
in uniform. The dinner guests included
Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Victor
Metcalf. Admiral and Mrs. Dewey, the
Assistant Secretary and Mrs. Newberry,
a number of American Navy officers of
hfgh rank and their wives. Resident and
official Washington to the number of sev
eral hundred arrived later and were pre
sented In French to the Admiral and his
staff and Madame Thierry.
.
A pilgrimage to the home and tomb of
the Father of His Country Is made a
touching feature of every distinguished
foreigner's visit to Washington, and
without "exception the guest thus enter
tained leaves a magnificent floral tribute
within the enclosure where lie the mortal
remains of the immortal George and Mar
tha, his wife. Some of the "good and
great" have also planted a tree In suit
able juxtaposition to the tomb, and now
a young forest of trees, each with a his
tory, is growing up to eventually take
the place of the sturdy oaks and elms
which have shaded the lawns and old
fashioned garden since the day young

Washington took the "Widow Custis"
home as his bride.
Through the patriotic and earnest ef
fort of Miss Pamela Cunningham, of
South Carolina, the home -and 200 acres
of the original Washington estate were
acquired by purchase about 20 years ago,
and restored as nearly as possible to
their early condition, by the Ladies of the
Mount Vernon Association. wltn funds
contributed by the citir. of the sev
eral states. The annual council of the
regents of the association in charge is an
event of the Spring season following al
most immediately the adjournment of
the Continental Congress, and many
ladies make the trip to Washington as
Delegates to both organizations. Mrs.
Howard Townsend. of New York, is president-general,
of the former, and. though
advanced In years, is a most regular at
tendant at its meetings. Others here this
season were Miss Amy Townsend, State
Regent of New York: Mrs. Wilder, of
Georgia: Mrs. Johnston, of Alabama;
Mrs. Richardson, of Louisiana; Mrs.
Ward, of Kansas; Mrs. Rathbone, of
Michigan: Mrs. Flandrau, of Minnesota
Mrs. Graham, of Missouri: Mrs. Barrett,
of Kentucky, and Mrs. Manderson, wife
of the former Senator from Nebraska.
The most notable improvement at
Mount Vernon in recent years is the pic
turesque wharf built of wood sent for
the purpose by the people of California.
At this landing thousands of pilgrims
yearly embark. Here too, and through
its portals the Nation's guests set foot
upon the soil of America's most holy
shrine. Distinguished parties are "per
sonally conducted" by prominent officials
especially designated by. the Government,
which may account for Mark Twain's
unbroken record as the only worshiper
at the wrong tomb.
Arlington, the borne of the Virginia
Lees, whose early history is closely inter
woven with that of Mount Vernon, was
the scene of a ceremony of more than
passing Interest, on Sunday, when the
Confederate Societies of the District of
Columbia united to honor the Union sol
diers by decorating the tomb of the uni
dentified Union dead, and then putting
wreaths and flags on the last resting
places of their own dead who He buried
in the same National cemetery. Special
services were held at the grave of
"Fighting Joe" Wheeler, of Alabama,
whose later life exemplified the union of
the North and South. Then followed the
unveiling of the "Southern Cross,"
monument presented by the Unitel Sons
of the Confederacy. The procession of
those who had decorated the graves was
led to the cross by a chorus arranged In
the form of a cross, singing "Nearer My
God. to Thee." accompanied by the
United States Cavalry band from Fort
Myer. In the background, to the right
was the National Capitol, with Washing
ton's monument looming high in the dis
tance; to the left, Virginia hills coverea
with Spring verdure, and separated from
the district by the slow-flowing Potomac:
over all was spread the warmth of a
June sun, whcih was the more appreciat
ed because so long delayed,
Three days previously the historian of
Pennsylvania avenue added the record of
the most unique procession ever under
taken in this or any other country. To
accomplish this a special dispensation was
necessary, and on the request of Repre
sentative John Wesley Gaines, of Ten-

District of Columbia, to tne eneci u

engagement of Miss Catherine t;uiiom

The announcement was followed by

few people detected anything but the
most unselfish Interest in the charitable
object for which Mr. Brown's play, "W e
Are In Society," was produced under
Miss Ridgeley's management in the early
Spring. At the time it was generally
conceded that to her untiring efforts
much of its social, artistic and financial
success was due. She shared equal hon
ors with the young composer and as a
finish to her admirable work, made a
neat little speech in the interest of the
Junior republic, closing the last perform-
