They catch the pos- ture and mannerisms, but not the personal- ity of the original. They may have enough force, but have not the feu sacre. There is, however, a genuine slap at this kind of argument {mw Rice’s “Excelsior, Jr.,” which opens at the Lafayette next Monday night, in the person of dainty Yvette Violette. New York had scarcely recovered from its craze over Yvette Guilbert, the $4,000 a week Music Hall singer, with a prim poise and a batch of naughty songs, when Yvette Vio- lette walked upon the stage in “Excelsior, Jr." and proceeded to sing in broken Eng- lish “Linger Longer, Lucy.” A counterfeit Guilbert, and yet so like the original Guil- bert that the audience at first thought a joke had been perpetrated upon them, and that, after all, it was the original Guilbert im propria persona, But Yvette Violette is Erettier than Gnilbert. She may not be quite so naughty, but she has the same nonchalance, and her chic, like the French- woman's, is of the Boulevard, not the Bow- ery. Edward E. Rice, the discoverer of Violette, asserts that she is a young girl of the bluest blood of France, and that she has for two years followed the French chautense abcut from place to place. See- ing both for the first time. it would be dif- ficult to tell which is copying the other. The Summer Season.—The extra session of theatricals, which has become so popu- lar in Washington, will begin a two weeks’ engagement at the Grand Opera House Menday, April 27. This year the pieces to be produced zre musica! comedies, for the Presentation of which Charles A. Shaw has engaged twenty of the best musical com- €cians in New York city.

Miss Lynch has played in a good many Shake- Spearean and old English comedies, and Was seen here last as a member of Mr. Stuart Robson’s company. She was the favorite pupil of the late Mr. John W. Nor- ton, Mary Anderson's first tutor and man- ager. Miss Lynch has had a varied ex- perience in her professional career, and is ccnfident of suecess in the part of Par- thenia, as it is a role that is admirably suited to her in every respect. The pro- duction will be well mounted and costumed. Ingomar, the title role, will be played by Mr. Louis Crennan. | Oth- er members of the company have been lected from Mr. Percy Winter's school of ting, and are as follows: Mr. Bouic Clark, Mr. R. A.

The Shriners, the Knights of Pythias and other organizations to which Mr. Downing belongs will turn out in num- bers to witness the double bill presented that night. “The Gladiator," which Mr. Downing has played 3,000 times, will be preceded by the comedy, “A French Mar- riage.” Mr. Tregina of the Marine Band will conduct the orchestra, which will be much enlarged for that night.

From the rise of the curtain the in- terest commences, ard it never Jags. Tne “Giri Bachelors’ Stag,” a burlestue on the new woman, opens the program, and gives an excellent opportunity to ‘judge the strength of the company.

Hanson, the Yankee clodhoppe Harry Emerson and Annie Carter in an amusing skit, “Don’t Notice It.” Leila Trimble, the Amertcan nightin- gale, in songs; Nettie De Coursey, a dainty -comic singer, who will, among other songs, sing the latest New York craze, “Won't You Marry Me?’ Coakley and Genare, an exceptionally clever biack-face team, and Crarles Terry, who will pose in a series of living reproductions of famous paintings and statuary.

The performance concludes with “Too Much Trilby,” a humorous bur- lesque on the latest hypnotic craze,” in which Harry Morris will appear as Slang Valley, the German hypnotist.

The second lecture In the university ex- tension course by W. Hudson Shaw will be given Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at Metzerott’s Music Hall. The interest in these lectures is very great, and more seats are being secured each day for the entire course. The subject is a most interesting one, ard Mr. Shaw’s abilities as a speaker | and extension lecturer, having been for a number of years on the Oxford University extension staff, have been drawing fea- tures. The names of the patronesses, who are all society ladies of the highest circle. have also had their effect, and the sale of seats has been most gratifyingly large. The lecttre Tuesday next deais w.th Florence just after Dante’s time, and goes a Sittle deeper into the details of the social and political construction of its life. The lec- tures are all illustrated with lantern slides of the highest order of merit, while an art exhibition of tapestries belonging to Mr. Charles Ffoulke is also one of the features of the course. ————.__.
