Lafayette Square Opera House.—Every- thing pointseto the fact that the sale of seats for the performance of “The Hivals,” with its all-star cast, composed of Joseph Jefferson, Wm. H. Crane, Nat. C. Good- win, Francis Wilson, Robert Taber, Joseph Holland, E. M. Holland, Mrs. John Drew, Julia Marlowe Taber and Fanny Rice, which began at the Lafayette Square Opera House this morning, will be the largest this city has ever known. Any number of in- quiries have been made regarding the com- ing of the company, and the desire to see it is very marked. All of the necessary scenery and properties (or the correct pres- entation of the old comedy are carried by the company, and nothing ts to be lef: un- done that will aid in making the perferm- ance a memorable one. One of the things which adds importance to the apearance of the company is the fact that it will be the only opportunity the cheatergvers of this city will ever have of seeing all of the ac- tors in the cast together in one play. New National Theater.—Hoyt's “Mid- night Bell,” with Digby Bell at the head of the cast, will bethe attraction at the New National Theater next week. Academy of Musie.—“‘Coon Hollow’ will hold the boards at the Academy of Music next week. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Sam. T. Jack's Extravaganza Company, described as the greatest of all burlesque attractions, has returned from its tour of Spanish America, and will make ‘ts appearance at Kernan’s Lyceum next week. This extrav- aganza company Is Mr. Jack's latest ven- ture, and if half that is said in {ts praise be true, it is the best achievement he has yet made. There will be a Spanish ro- mance outlined and embellished in bur- lesque. The elements of farce-comedy, melodrama and good variety will all be given free latitude. Handsome women by the score will exhibit their merry fac and captivating figures. Cheery comedians will spring jokes that brought equal mirth in Illinois and Mexico, and a splendid series ef living pictures will furnish artistic di- version. During the action of the bur- lesque several well-known vaudeville stars will be seen, among whom are Foster and Lewis, Phillips and Robinson, Clements and Mile. Fatima, Brothers La Moyne, ten and Morris. Base Ball at Kernan’s.Manager Kernan has arranged to reproduce the game be- tween the Senators and Cleveland Monday afternoon on the stage of the Lyceum, the in detail, including strikes, balls, errors, put-outs, runs, ete., will be minutely reproduced on a miniature dia- mond just as they are made in Cleveland. ‘The score by innings of all games played by National League clubs will also be given.

D., superintendent of the bu- reau of national reforms, will lecture in Memorial United Brethren Church, corner R and North Capitol streets, Wednesday, May 6, at 7:45 p.m. Subject, “Our Coun- try’s Needs.” An excellent musical pro- gram will precede the lecture, and the evening promises to be one of unusual In- terest. The admission will be free, and all friends of good citizens are most cordially invited to be present. Prof. Proctor’s May Ball—The annual May bail of the fancy dancing class of Prof. F. M. Proctor and daughter will take Place Monday evening at National Rifles’ Armory. Prof. Proctor has had charge of the dancing at River View for several years, and his May balls have always been motels of success. The grand march will take place at 8 o'clock, and general dancing will be allowed at 10:30. Rev. Dr, Stafford’s Lecture.—The lecture at Allen's Grand Opera House tomorrow evening by the Rev. D. J. Stafford, D. D., promises to pack that structure with the hearers which Dr. Stafford always draws. Dr. Stafford’s powers as an orator and lecturer are too well known to need intro- duetion here, and it is sufficient to say that his subject will be “Dickens.” Dr. Stafford will talk on the power and pathos of that writer, and, of course, will give some de- Ineations of the characters of the writer’s more famous works. Seats may be obtain- ed at the box office of the theater, and the Proceeds will be devoted to charity. Wimodaughsis Art Loan Exhfbit.—An art loan exhibit will be held at the rooms of the Wimodaughsis, 1324 I street northwest, May 4, 5, 6. 7, 8 and 9, under the patronage of Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Lamont, Madame Patenotre, Mrs. Sherman, Mrs. Hearst, Mrs. Hawley, Mrs. Burrows, Mrs. Sheridan and Mrs. Dy. N. Morgan. The exhibit will be a particularly fine one, and will attract the art lovers generally of the national capital. Each evening there will be an attractive musical and Mterary program to add to the interest of the event. The ladies have worked hard to get up this exhibit, and it should receive the most Mberal patronage. Mary Sanders’ New Play.—Another of the original summer stock company fayorites has been added to the company which Miss Mary Sanders Is organizing for the presen- tation of her new comedy, “Her Brother Bob,"" which ts to be brougit cut for the first time on May 25, at the New National Theater. Mr. Charles Mackay has just closed an engagement to create a part in this play, and in so doing has postponed a Shooting and fishing trip, which he was about to take, In order that he might be as- sociated with Mu Sanders in her con- templated production. Mr. Mackay will ap- pear in a part which ts admirably adapted to his abilities. While the regular sale of seats will not open at the box office of the National Theater until the morning of Thursday, May 21, seats may be secured in advance of the regular sale by applying at the office of Messrs. Mackall & Ball, room No. 3, 105 F street northwest, where the diagram of seats will be displayed and ehoice seats can be procured. The play will undoubtedly prove of considerable interest, as it is full of clever situations and bright dialogue, and all the characters are well balanced. Barnum & Bailey's Circus.—Most of the wonders to be exhibited in Barnum & fail- ey’s show when it comes here on Monday and Tuesday, May 11 and 12, will be new and the same as shown In Madison Square Garden, New York, this spring, comprised in circus, menagerie, hippodrome, and the ethnic entertainment called Oriental India. The whole organization {s conducted with @ view to presenting the best and most that money and energy can bring together. Among the more notable specimens of an: mals in the double menageries are twenty- four elephants, a giraffe, a whole flock of giant ostriches, an addis, eland, water box, Wilbur F. | wart hog, a nylgnau, Malay tapir of the Kind known as saddlo-back, several gulbs, harnessed antelopes, hairless horse, giant and pigmy creatures, fifty cages of wild beasts, a giant gorilla -Jo! na, Chicko's widow—the fame of which has extended over the world, and without doubt the great- est living attraction ever seen with an exhi- bition. The circus exhibition ha three rings and three stages, and = track, and the number of performers {s largely in excess of those ever seen before. Many of them are European celebrities,and thelr acts are novel and original, The ‘most graceful and difficult of all the equestrian acts are performed by young and handsome women, and only champions appear in all of the 10) cfreus acts. The ring exhibition of the trained animals and elephants is a mar- velous one. One herd contains a dozen huge beasts, one of which {s only a few inches less in height than Jumbo. Every- thing in and about Barnum & Kia show is on a scale of magnitude which im- plies a wonderful amo ant of executive abil- ity and thorough discipiie to manage fuc- cessfully. The millton-dollaz sireet parade will take place in zhe morning. “A Serious Family” at the Soldiers’ Heme. At the regular meeting of the Soldiers’ Home Temperance ‘inion, held at Sheridan Hail last evening, the fi of “A Serious Family” was presented, with a strony and appropriate cast. The parts were all well rendered, and were thoroughl; appreciated, as was evidenced by the frequent isughter and applause of the large audience present. The cast was composed of Misses Towner, Howe, Tasker, Bingtum and Lambert, and Messrs. Dorsey, ‘Towner, Roberts, Hodges and Van Hoppen. During the evening the Soldiers’ Home Band zendered excellent mu- sic. Mias Starkey’s May Ball.—National Rifles’ Armory was crowded to the doors last evening by an appreciative audience, who were given a treat in fancy dancing by the pupils of Miss Blanche Starkey. The little enes gave a splendid exhibition of fancy dancing, including some excellent toe work, and, as a whole, the ball was a success from beginning to end. The dancing was done upon the stage, which was tastefully decorated with palms. The grand march took place at 8 o'clock, twenty-five couples, cutside of the fancy dancers, taking part in the exercises. Little Edith Orbello gave as the first number a splendid exhibition of toe dancing, the little tot receiving endless applause. She was followed by Alfrida Briggs, in the bat darce; Fred. Harvey, in the jockey dance, and Mazie Orbello, in “L'Ariel,” the latter easily carrying off the honors of the evening. Francis Edmonston darced the highland fling very prettily, and Olive Pushaw gave the Stephanie gavotte. Marie Plant gave a very pretty rendition of the scarf dance, and Daisy Rupp and Al- frida Briggs danced “La Czarine’ and “Sweet Violet,” respectively. During the intermission, at the request of her friends and scholars, Miss Starkey gave a dance, which she fittingly named “Adieu,” as this was her last season of teaching. Her effort was graceful, and was appreciated by all. In the second part Edith Orbello danced the Sailor's Hornpipe, Katie Toumey sang “I Went to Paris With Papa,” and Marie Plant gave a very pretty serpentine dance. The double numbers were participated in by Olive Pushaw and Harry Riggles, in “La Santtay Alfrida Briggs and Mazie Orbello, in “Pas Styrian;” Dorothy Graves and Edith Orbello, in “La Euseno,” and Daisy Rupp @nd Olive Pushaw, in the “White Squadron. Alfrida Briggs gave a moonlight dance, Olive Pushaw a rope dance and Mazie Orbello ended the even- ing’s entertainment with a prettily executed tambourine dance. After the rendition of the dances three medals were given for deportment, general excellence, neatness and dancing, to thé scholars, the fortunate recipients of the honor being Mazie and Edith Orbello and Olive Pushaw. These medals were presented by Mr. E. K. Plant, who acted as master of ceremonies, as- sisted by Messrs. Cruse, Keyser and Pol- lock. Then, on behalf of the friends and scholars of Miss Starkey, Mr. Plant pre- sented that young lady, as a token of the esteem of her pupiis, a beautiful silver and gold salad spoon and a silver bicycle mono- gram. After these exercises had been con- cluded, the floor was cleared for dancing, and the audience enjoyed that pleasure un- tila late heur. Columbia Musical Parlors.—An exact re- production on the kinetoscope of James J. Corbett in the prize fighting ring was the nctelty which has attracted many persons to the Columbia Phonograph Company's musical parlors at 919 Pennsylvania ave- rue during the past three days. The scene is so natural one can almost picture him- self at the ring side, cheering the fighters. Many new features have been added to the already large nutnber of attractions to be seen and heard on the kinetoscopes and graphophones, and altogether the program is one of the best so far gotten up. One of the most popular hits for some time past Is entitled “When Grover Gets a Baby Boy,” and it never fails to evoke much laughter whenever heard on the grapho- phone. The “Casey” records are always popular, several new ones having been put on exhibition. ‘The St. Paul Club’s Military Fete.—A great deal of interest centers about the military fete and entertainment of the St. Paul Club, which fs to be given Monday evening, May 4, at Central Hall, over the Center Market, both on account of its worth as an evening of amusement and because of the object in giving it.
