AMUSEMENTS. % ae } Grand Opera House.—The performance,of the old comedy “Leap Year” by Mr. Stugrt Robson and his excellent company at the Grand Opera House last night was a most enjoyable dramatic event. Mr. Robson's ir- resistibly funny personality kept the audi- ence immensely amused all the time he was on the stage, and Mrs. Robson played the role of Mrs. Sarah O'Leary with a spirit and 2 touch of the brogue which made the character a most pleasing one. The play is one of the old-time farces, in which the humor depends more upon the situation than upon extravagant delineations of character, as at the present time. The de- mand on the abilities of the players is, therefore, considerably heavier than in the case where the successful portrayal of a part is largely a matter of make up. “Leap Year” is too hilarious in its moods to rank with the higher type of refined comedy, and scarcely equals the products of the present day for originality of thought or brilliancy of expression. It is, however, a good substantial piece of old-time English fun, and in the character of Dionysius Dimple Mr. Robson has a part which gives him excellent scope. The servant question does not appear to have been as formidable in those days as it is at present, the audi- ence being expected to find the footmen and maids very edifying and amiable peo- ple, judging from the amount of attention they are allowed to command. The hero of the plot, a young man who disguises himself as one of the domestics in order to be near the woman he loves, is unfortunate in being addicted to the habit cf quoting poetry promiscuously—a prac- tice which makes him so much more like the conventional lackey than like a gen- tleman inecg. that he seems less at home when he doffs his livery than he did with the striped vest and puttons. This im- pression is not at all due to the manner in which Mr. Henry Bergman plays the part. He gives it a very manly interpretation, ignoring the temptatiors to burlesque which the lines constantly present. Mr. John L. Wooderson as Sir Solemon Solus gave a good picture of a woman-hunted man, and Miss Grace Franklyn Lynch was a very charming Mrs. Flowerby. National Theater-Opinions differ as to the transcendent merit of Mr. Augustin Daly’s Americanized, or Dalyized, version of Stobitzer’s German comedy, under the title of “Love on Crutches,” but there are no differences of opinion as to the tran- scendent merit of Miss Ada Rehan, whether she is in one play or in another. ‘She pos- sesses, first, the inexplicable quality which attracts, and she ads to that the dramatic irstinct, developed and perfected by years of hard study and conscientious devotion to her art, until today she is without a superior, if an equal, on the English speak- ing stage. She is the perfect interpreter of comedy in that, that with a smile, or a touch, or a look, she changes the phase of a situation, and’substitutes for the logical |. sequence the .ccntrast or exaggeration which constitutes humor; and humor is un- acted comedy. As Annis Austin in’ this play Miss Rehan has a number of oportun: ities for portraying the varying moods of woman's fancy, and she is so variant that one almost wonders if it is altogether act- ing. It is charming, tough, and that {8 the art of arts in comedy. The husband of this lovely Annis is Sydney Austin (Mr. Frank Worthing), but to him, however, the varying is vexing, and he acts it admir- ably. An unusually clever and attractive piece of work is the Margery Gwinn of Miss Sybil Carlisle, so cleverly done, in fact, that she shared the honors with the star. An eccentric and very popular char- acter was Guy Roverly, the African ex- plorer, as presented by Mr. Sydney Her- bert. Mr. Craig’s portrayal of the “inter- viewer,” while not quite what it would be off the stage, was very agreeably done. Of the remainder of the cast, not one was unequal to the part assigned, though some were in parts not adapted to their best adilities. In conclusion it may be said that the company did more for the play than the play for the company. Tonight Miss Rehan will be seen as Julianna in Tobin’s comedy of “The Honeymoon.” The C. A. C. Benefit.—The annual enter- ment of the Columbia Athletic Club at the Academy of Music last night was a com- plete success, except in the matter of a crowded house. Enough tickets had been sold, however, on the advance sale to fill the house, so that the club suffered no financial loss on account of. the small house, those who stayed away being the real los- ers. The entertainment was musical and athletic, and the numbers were so placed that a pleasing change was given by every succeeding event. The junior class of the club opened the show by a wand drill, after which the Olmo. Mandolin Orchestra, as- sisted by Mr. Arthur E. Yundt, late of the Tuxedo Quartet, gave Guckart’s “Zulu Dance.” The next number was a club swinging -exhibition by Master Arthur Plant, and then striking features on the horizontal bar by Messrs. Crossley, Sewall, Ross, Allen, Craig, Shelley and Harmon took up the attention of the audience. The Columbia Quartet, composed of Messrs. Watson, Fischer, Looker and Mooney, made its first public appearance, and it scored a decided success. The voices are well balanced and the men sang with good expression. Immediately following this came Prof. Crossley and his three juvenile acrobats, Masters Spurrier, Waters and Cabrera. Miss Francis Miller of Baltimore rendered the “River Song” from “N; oe and for a recall, Bohm’s “Calm Is the Night.” Her singing was spirited and with expression, her accompanist being Dr. E. S. Kimball. Mr. John J. Fischer then sang, accompanied on the violin by Chris. Arth, jr., on the ’cello by Wm. Donch and on the piano by Prof. Waldecker. George O’Con- nor had to sing three times before the au- dience would let him go. Another musical selection was the quartet from “Rigoletto,” sung by Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry, Mrs. F. B. Hempstone, Mr. W. J. MacFarland and Mr. Bernard Ryan. Mr. Will Haley gave an exhibition on the musical glasses, Swiss hand bells and a variety of other mu- sical instruments. The feature of the even- ing, however, in an athletic way, was the high jump of Royce Hough. He already holds the championship of the District in that event, and last evening he topped his" highest previous record, making the bar at exactly six- feet. Messrs. Cullen and Col- lins pleased the audience, as they always do. There was work on the flying rings, boxing between Dr. Von Lindgren and Prof. George Carter, a foil contest between Messrs. Harmon and Bayly, acrobatic num- bers and pyramids, and altogether it was one of the most successful entertainments the C. A. C. has ever given. butler’s Bijou Theater.—A good drama- lization of Rider Haggard’s ever pcpular novel, “She,” was presented by Manager Butler to the patrons of the Bijou last night. The weird story of the orient has been carefully molded into a_ realistic drama, with all of the principal characters and events carefully retained. As a scenic production the play is a success, and with a few exceptions the characters are weil taken. Miss Sadie Farley as “She” made a pretty picture, and read her lines well. Chester De Vande as Leo Vincey was striking in appearance. Miss Lottie Church as Ustane easily carried off the honors, and her acting showed careful study. Nd- win Boring and A. N. Davis as the ser- vants furnished the comedy. Again to- night. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Sam_ T. Jack’s Extravaganza Company entertained a large audience at Kernan’s last night. ‘The company is the best that Manager Jack has yet had. A novel creation, “The Bull Fighter,” with a score of maidens as torreadors, picadors, banderillos, etc,, open- ed the performance. During the action of the burlesque Miss Emilie Peare contrib- uted several vocal selections. Twelve Liv- ing Pictures were striking. Phillips and Robinson as twentieth century girls made a hit, and Mlle. Diani scored a success with her ‘Chameleon dance. Lew Carroll was funny as usual, and Symonds, Hughes and Rastus contributed a black face specialty. Fatima did’ a sersational dance, and a realistic bull fight closed the entertainment. Again . tonight. Frederic Bond Comedy Company. — The sale of seats for the season of comedy by the Frederic Bond Company, which will commence at the Grand Opera House next Monday night, has already opened and the demand indicates that when the curtain rises on “Sir Simon Simple” there will be a big house. Capital Glee Club Concert.—The joint con- cert by the Capital Glee Club and the Ru- benstein Club at Metzerott Music Hall to- morrow ever ing will be one of the musical features of the entire season. Gade's “Cru- saders” will be sung, and both organiza- tions will have a chance to be heard in the combined choruses. The part of Peter the Hermit will be sung by Prof. Du Shane Cloward. Mr. Cloward has been heard sev- eral times in_ solo parts, assisted by the Capital Glee Club, and each time his voice has shown to excellent advantage. Both clubs have been working in an exceedingly industrious manner to perfect themselves for the final rendition of this work, and there is no reason to believe that anything will be lacking on the evening of the per- formance.

The other characters were taken by Mr. R. Audley Linke, Mr. George C. Aukam, M. W. Kemster-Johnstone, Miss Bertha M. Bolseau and Miss Lucy F. Uhl. After the performance the young people enjoyed dancing to @ late hour. ‘The Last Bischoff Concert.—This evening will see the last of the Bischoff course concerts.

E. Church, corner of 1ith and G streets north- west, this evening at 8 o’clock. The lecturer is Bishop J. H.

Mask and Wig Club.—The Mask and Club of the University of Pennsylvania occupy the boards at the Academy of Mu- sic Saturday evening next. “Kenilworth,” an entirely new and original two-act ope- ratic travesty, will be presented by one hundred students, with new scenery, fine costumes and all that pertains to a success- ful rendition of any operatic piece. This work is a very marked advances upon any- thing this well-known club has attempted before. It is an amusing burlesque, coming very near to the piahe of operetta, the cast of characters being well distributed among the members of the club and the stage movement full of Hfe and spirit, and yet withal bright and clean. The music is catchy and well arranged, and the individ- ual dances and varicus specialties incorpo- rated in the performance make a most at- tractive entertainment. The book is by Clayton F. McMichael and the music is written or arranged by Edmond D. Beale, who also conducts the performance. The stage is under the able direction of Francis P. Steele, jr.. who also takes the part of Elizabeth with grace and dignity. His solo dance is one of the features of the per- formance. Another remai le dancer is Chas. 8. Morgan, who takes the part of Amy Robsart. 8S. Murdock Kendrick is the leading comedian of the aggregation. Among the specialties are a golf dance, a marionette dance, banjo solos and a fine athletic performance by the members of the gymnasium team of the college. Alto- gether, it will be one of most success- ful college ventures which has visited this city for a long time. Seats are now on sale at Metzerott’s music store.
