PICTURES FROM TRILBY The Suocessful Series of aE Presented Last Nig’ Du Maurier’s Famous Characters Ar- Ustically Represented — Those Who Took Part. Nothing has ever been presented to the Washington public that excited as much curiosity and interest before its representa- tion cr that elicited more approval and satisfaction. after its production than the entertainment that was given at Metzer- ott’s Music Hall last night, under the au- spices of the Art Students’ League and the Society of Washington Artists. It was en- titled “Scenes and Songs from Trilby,” and consisted of a series of tableaux repre- senting the principal incidents in Du Mau- rier’s famous novel, each picture accom- panied by appropriate music. The man- agers of the affair had been most judicious in selecting those whom they wished to pose and they were particularly fortunate in securing for Trilby a young lady who in her face and figure and in her make-up in the different scenes in which she appeared seemed to the embodiment of the author’s creation. This was especially ob- servable in the second picture, called “Wistful and Sweet,” where Trilby was seen standing in the attire in which she is first described in the book—the old military coat with sagging epaulettes, short striped skirt, and the large loose slippers. Her head was thrown back and her bronze lux- uriant hair hung down over her shoulders. ‘Those Who Posed. There were no names upon the program, and it was only those who were in the secret that knew that the girl who stood there was Miss Marian Oliver. Her friends ecvld hardly recognize her, for she sunk her own identity in the character she as- sumed, and in every scene she was remark- ably effective. Trilby was seen listlessly listening to Svengali’s playing of Schu- bert’s “Rosamonde;” posing for the three artists; listening to Little Billee’s story of his love; trying her voice in a serenade, accompanied by Svengali and Gecko on the pea stage, and, after; her tragic deat! Fully equal to Trilby was thé represen- tation of Svengali, who, in make-up and facial expression, in comprehension of the effect of position and pose, was remark- able. In the death scene, his face, as he beheld his enemy, was Mephistophilian in its intense hate, and made the picture cne of dramatic interest, although it was repulsive. In fact, there were some in the audience who would have heen better pleasei had the death scenes Leen omitted, but they were considered to be necessary to the complete presentation of the story. Mr. R. S. Fowler was the Svengali, and his work was warmly praised on every hard. Mr. Chas. F. Crosby was Little Bil- lee, and was very gocd. He bears a strik- ing likeness to the pictures of Little Bil- lee. Walter Rogers was Taffy; William Chilton, the Laird; Wells M. Sawyer, Gecko;’ Mr. Gideon and Miss Newcomb, Mr. and Mrs. Bagot; Messrs. Tassen and Souder, two French seldiers; Mr. Westcott, a fencer, and little May Blossom, “Pier- rot,” a pretty interpolated picture. There had been a good deal cf mystery surrounding the preparation of this series of pictures, and curiosity was excited as to who were to assume the different charac- ters, so that the interest was increased in the effort to recognize the ladies and gen- tlemen as they were brought to view under the glare of the electric light. In most cases this recognition was easy, but as to Trilby and Svengali the task was next to impossible. Pleasing Music. The music that accompanied the pic- tures was well rendered, and each number received much applause. The singers stood behind the wings, in front of which were tall palms, so that they were completely ccrcealed, and the voice could not be heard to perfect advantage, but it would have spoiled the harmony of the pictures had they been placed in full view. The greater number of the incidental songs, including ‘Ben Bolt,” Nevins’ “La Vie,” Schumann’s “Der Nussbaum,” “‘Au Claire de la Lune” and Gounod’s “Au Printemps,” were sung by Mrs. Florence Homess; Miss Mary Helen Howe sang Tosti’s “Amore,” “Bon Jour, F. Crosby, the ballad, and a male quartet, com- posed of Messrs. W. D. McFarland, C. F. Crosby, Frank P. Reeside and W. D. Hoover, sang Dudley Buck's arrangements of “Annie Laurie” and “In Absence.” The instrumental musicians were Miss C. A. Bell, Mr. Walter Parris, and a mandolin quartet, consisting of Alfredo Gana, H. E. Hinman, Chas. L. Parker and Walter D. Maclean. The musical director was Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard, and the stage was managed by Mr. Percy Winter. The cemmittee in charge to whom the praise is due for the artistic stage settings was Messrs. Viele, Mann, Chilton and Miss Solo- mons. ‘The patronésses were Mesdames Lamont, Ffoulke, Mann, Kauffmann, Men- donca, "Gallaudet, Glover, Riggs, Viele, Waggaman and Emmons. The perform- ance was not only successful from a musical and artistic standpoint, which was the manifest judgment of the large and critical audience that was present, but the financial returns must have been such as to gratify those who undertook the enterprise. SS SPAIN ADMITS THE FAOTS. The Cuban Rebellion Requires a Strong Force to Suppress It. It is evident that Spain is at last realiz- ing that the rebellion in Cuba is not a mere outbreak by discontented peasants in one or two places. Heretofore all Madrid dispatches have asserted that the revolt was of little consequence or had been vir- tually suppressed. Now it is announced that Gen. de Campos will be sent to Cuba with nearly 10,000 troops. ‘The publication of this news, which com- pletely contradicts the former sanguine dispatches from official sources, has caused keen excitement in Madrid. In the chamber of deputies yesterday the budget committee approved all of the clauses of the budget. In the senate Premier Canovas del Cas- tillo said that 5,000,000 pesetas had been spent already in fighting the Cuban insur- gents, and the government was prepared to make any further sacrifice that might be demanded. The premier prefaced his statement with the remark that he had come before the chambers under unusual circumstances. He proposed to deal only with the financial question raised by the expedition to Cuba. He then read a dispatch from Captain Gen- eral Callejas, saying that a detachment of Spanish troops had been defeated by insur- gents at Campochulos. The commander had been summoned before a court-martial, the dispatch added. The cabinet’s decision to send reinforcements was due to this news. The dispatches from Gen. Callejas inti- mate that Crombet, Marti and Gomez, be- sides Maceo, have joined or are about to join the rebels in Santiago province. Some irritation has been caused at Madrid by the attitude of several Ameri- can newspapers, which are believed to en- courage the Cuban rebels materially. A minister, whose name is withheld, said yesterday afternoon that 10,000,000 pesetas would be placed at Campos’ disposal at once. Several steamers are fitting out to embark troops at Barcelona, Cadiz and Carthagena for Cuba. Private reports from Havana indicate that the number of insurgents now in the field is about 7,000. The government be- lieves that the filibusters who left Costa Rica under Maceo, on an English vessel, for aaa were transferred to an American ship. ——-+e+______ Some Big Fish. Fishermen at Stuart's fisheries, about three miles below Aquia creek, had an ex- citing time yesterday, when they were hauling seine, because of the number of large rock fish that were caught in the seine. There were five of these fish, and they made such a desperate fight in their efforts to get away that three of them succeeded. Two of them, however, were captured and brought here last night. The larger of the two fish weighed sixty-seven pounds, and this morning it was on exhi- bition in the Center market. ——_—_ Army Orders. Lieut. John M. Carson, jr., fifth cavalry, at his own request, has been relieved from duty at West Point, and will join his troop. He will be succeeded by Capt. Wilber B. Wilder, fourth cavalry. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Several Ohurches Held Well-Attended Meetizgs Last Night. Many Other Notes of a Local and Gen- eral Interest to Residents and Others. Grace Episcopal Church was packed tq the doors last night, and even standing room could not’be had by the members of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and their friends to hear the third address of the serles by the combined chapters of the brotherhood in this city. The venerable Archdeacon B. F. Williams of Washington delivered a highly interesting discourse, taking as his subject “The Bible, God's Revelation to Man.” Dr. “Williams is one of the leading Episcopal divines of Wash- ington, and his address was listened to with marked attention and was much en- jJoyed by those present. The Baptist, M. E. Church, M. P. Church and Second Presbyterian Church all had large congregations, and much interest was manifested. A great deal of the good work }done by Mr. Schcolfield, the evangelist, is just being felt, and it is confidently believ- ed that more will follow. Never before in the history of the city have the congrega- tions in the various churches been larger than at present, and from the amount of interest shown much good will be accom- plisher. The regular meeting of St. Paul's Chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew will be held in their brotherhood rooms tenight, and Christ Church Chapter will also have a meeting. Charter Granted. In the corporation court yesterday, Judge J. K. M. Norton presiding, a charter was granted to the John Wedderburn Company, the objects of which are to prosecute claims against the government. The offi- cers named in the charter are John Wed- derburn, president; Wm. L. Ford, secre- tary, and Arthur L. Hughes, treasurer, who, “with Wm. L.
