The Mapleson-Whitney Differences Settled by Mrs. Mapleson’s Resignation. A Polite but Pointed Correspon —Mr. Warner Elected President of the Georgetown Orchestra. ce What with the opera at Albaugh’s and the Austriaa Band at Convention Hall, an organ recifal at the Metropolitan M. F. Church, and many loce! concerts, the musi- cal people of Washington had all the en- joyment they could ask for. It seemed that there was too much for them for the Austrian Band failed te draw as was ex- pected and the engagement came to an abrupt termination on Thursday. The band is a good one, played well an@ deserved and true as ever. It is believed that the capacity of the Military Bands.—At the Conven- tion Hall Tuesday and Wednesday ni and Wedhesday matinee, December 6 3 Washington music ‘eated to three grand popular concerts the German infantry and cavalry bangs that were a feature of the Midway Plais- ance of the world’s fair. The organization is the one which the Emperor of Germany | allowed to represent that empire at the fair. The party consists of eighty musi- cians, who are among the very finest of William's kingdom. Mr. Eb Ruschiweyh, who is the royal Prussian music director, is the leader and Mr. G. Herold staff trum: Mr. Ruschiweyh is the representa- tive leader ef and had the honor of selecting the members of these great military bands. The infantry play on reed and brass instruments, while the cavalry band pl on brass entirely. A very | charming feature of their concerts is the fact that the two bands play separately |and combined programs. The programs | include soloists, trombone quartets and | double horn quartets, selections from the wary Dest productions and novel erches- s. better support. Those who bave traveled abroad say that equally as good bands are heard at the gardens where beer is drunk | band plays in a beer | but then Stra garden and that does not detract from its merit. Of course where a venture is unsuc- cessful and there are two maragers, each tries to throw the blame upon the other,and Mr. Amberg, the manager of tte band, criti- cises the management of Prof. Cloward,who assumed the local responsibility. Prof. Cloward makes a s:atement of the money Queen Esther.—The drill for the beautiful cantata of Queen Esther is about com- pleted and will be given at Mi The chorus of sixty voices has been in t the raining nearly s% weeks, under t musical director, Doyle, and the cast is composed of some of the finest solo singers whole number engaged in the performance Will be over 108. the cantata will be given in beautiful costume and under the direc: that was received and shows that his per- centage Was not suificient to pay the local expenses of nall and advertising.

In this case derable unpleasantness was occasione. was trtimated in the interview with Slanager Whitney pub- Mshed in yesterday's Star. But it appears that the diiferences have been amicably adjusted. Mrs. Mapleson sang Francesca last night excellenuy and that the audi- ence appreciated her work was evident from the warm applause she received. She and her husband have many friends in this city and both have beea the recipients of much soctal attention during the week. The audience who were erjoying the per- formance last night, however, did not know that the climax of mis had been reached ard that the prima donna would retire at the end of two weeks. Such is the fact as the following correspondence will show: “My Dear Whitney: Will you kindly al- low Mrs. Mapleson cancel her contract with you, to termiaate in Harlem, Decem- ber 16, 1893, and cblige, yours, very faith- fully, HENRY MAPLESON. “My Dear Colonel: Your favor of th’ date asking my consent to the canceling of Mme. M.'s vontract to terminate with the Harlem engagement on December 16 is received, and I hereby give my consent and accept her resignation. Yours, vei truly, . C. WHITNEY.” Mr. Whitney and Col. Mapleson both ex- Press themselves satisfied at the prospect that the relations between them will short- ly be severed. Mr. Whitney thinks that in Miss Post he has found a successor to Mrs. japleson and the colonel is glad to have his wife released from a company where there was any question as to her superior talent. Col. Mapleson says he will, in Jan- wary, put a company on the road headed by his wife, to produce “La Petite Marie,” by Lecocq, the author of “Girofie Girofia. It is feared that the canceling of the Seidl-Slavinski engagement may delay some- what the formation of the festival chorus, although the plans for its organization are well advanced. Still the immediate incentive of singing two big Wagnerian choruses, as was contemplated at the Seidl concert, is now removed. It is understood that some time during this month the Marine Band will appear in a concert to be given for the benefit of the poor of the District. Col. Heywood, com- mandant of the marine corps, has taken an interest in the matter and representatives | of the different newspapers have been asked to assume control. The object is certainly worthy one and it will give the public an opportunity to hear the band in concert and see what improvement it has made. The Choral Society has now a permanent lace for rehearsal in Typographical Unton Fran, and the attendance is gratifying. There is a constant increase in member- ship and much enthusiasm is manifested tn preparing for the performance of “The Mes- siah,” which is to take place at Conven- tion Hall during the holidays. The Georgetown Orchestra is also actively rehearsing and will make a good showing at its first concert, which will be in Febru- ary. Several old members who had appar- ently lost their interest have now become regular in their attendance, and the return of Mr. Walter Parris to the first violins is a welcome adiition. Mr. Herman Rake- mann is doing good work as assistant @i- rector. At a meeting held yesterday Mr. 8. | H. Warner was elected president of the or- chestra. Mr. Warner has been interested | in the success of the organization time, and now that he has been placed at its head it ts believed that he will have an important influence on its success. said eantth AMUSEMENTS. for a long Albaugh’s Opera House.—No more im- portant event in the history of theatrical enterprises in this country has transpired in recent years than the appearance this sea- son of the two best exponents of dramatic art of two great nations, Irving and Coque- lin. In the front rank of modern comedians stands M. Coquelin; among the foremost actresses of the day is conspicuously prom- inent Mme. Hading. A support to these two great artists has been selected with care, regardless of the too frequent evil of the economy in numbers and talent, and represent artists from every branch of the French dramatic school. The most minute detail in the elaborate repertoire is carnied out with as much care and precision as the Prominent action in the leading roles. Mme. Hading is a charming actress of the highest | type. While she does not follow with ac- curate detail the traditions and clear-cut outlines of the French schools, Coquelin, she has an originality,personality, @ certain fllusive charm att-ibutable to no particular quality in her work and suscept- ible of no exact description. The repertoire of the Coquelin-Hading engagement is as follows: Wednesday, “L’Aventuriere:” Thursday, “Nos Intimes;” Friday, “Tar- tuffe"and“Les Precieuses Ridicules;” Satur- day matinee, “Le Maitre de Forges,” and | night, “Le Megere Apprivoisee.” New National Theater.—Miss Rosina Vokes and her company will be at the New Na- tional Theater next week, with the follow- ing repertoire: Monday, y, Wednes- day and Saturday nights and’ Saturday matinee, “Maid Marian,” jumset” and “Crocodile Tears; Thursday and Friday nights, “A Pantomime Rehearsal,” “Dream Faves” and “Waiting.” Academy of Music.—James O'Neill in “Monte Cristo” will be the attraction at the Academy of M: next week. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—At Harris’ Bijou Theater next week will be seen Mr. Frank Ma: in his thrilling drama “Davy Crock- ett.” Mr. Mayo has a son, Edwin F. Mayo, who has starred off and on for the past six years, and many have confounded him with his father. Frank Mayo has been star for over twenty years and made “Davy Crockett” famous. He was the first. to bring to a dramatic realization those noble qualities of manhood that marked the early pioneers, and although since that time he has been seen in the drama of the purely romantic type, it is certain that he has not, in his whole line of character portrayals, one role that appeals as strongly to the theatergoers as does Davy Crockett. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater. — Reilly and Wood's Big Show, an organization compos- ed of meritorious talent selected from the leading theaters of Europe and America: the Hawaiian Dancers, from the Midway Plaisance, world’s fair. and Big Frank, the original boxing kangaroo, will be the at- tractions at Kernan’s next week. Big Frank is spoken of as a remarkable animal. He enters the ring adorned with gloves upon his fore paws, and when “time” is called the fighting begins with a decided vim and | spirit. Other features of the program are | Johnson, Riano and Bentley; Atroy, Mlle. Rice and Harvey, John J. Burke and Grace Forrest, the Wood Sisters, Allen and West, the Four Pappillion Dancers and the only | Pat Rielly. The Patti Concert.—The sale of seats for the appearance of Mme. Patti at Albaugh’s next Monday night progresses rapidly. A | great deal of interest is being manifested not only in the appearance of the diva her- self, but in the excellent artists who are associated with her in the program.
