AMUSEMENTS. Mrs. Stetson’s Lecture.—A large audience listened to Charlotte Perkins Stetson’s lec- ture at the Church of Our Father last evening, on the subject “Our Brains and What Ails Them.” Mrs. Stetscn is well known as an authoress and lecturer, and amply fulfilled the expectations that were raised by the announcement of her ap- Pearance. The lecture was given for the benefit of the Woman's Suffrage Associa- tion, and a handscme sum was realized. Mrs. Stetson was introduced by Miss Cora ‘Thomas, president of the District Woman Suffragists, who spoke of the lecturer and her work. Mrs. Stetson has a style pecu- larly her own, a clear, distinct voice and @ personality that impressed her audience frcm the first. Her lecture was not only interesting, but instructive as well, and showed the careful study and thought that had been put upon it. “Two Little Vagrants.”—“Two Little Va- grants,” which will be played at the La- fayette next Monday evening and the re- mainder of the week, including an extra matinee on Monday, Washington's birth- day, a bargain matinee Wednesday and the usual Saturday matinee, is from the pen of Pierre de Courcelle, who has been prominent in Partsian theatrical affairs for scme years. The play concerns the ad- ventures of two boys of twelve or four- teen, and has a prologue with a lapse of seven years between it and the play. The children are Fan Fan and Claude. The for- mer ts the son of George d’Armont, who, on mere suspicion that his wife is un- faithful to him, delivers their four-year- old son into the hands of Le Renard, a robber, whom he discovers in pursuit of his profession in the drawing room of his hovse at a conveniently critical moment. Claude is the nephew of this rcbber, whose wife, Zepharine, is a clairvoyant and road- side entertainer. Claude 1s a big-hearted little fellow, though puny and Sickly. The two boys become great friends and their adventures are thrilling and their friend- ship pathetic. The play offers a charm- ing picture of boyish courage and devotion. Ic has rearly every dramatic quality that goes to make up a high class melodrama, and is intensely emotional. The company numbers about twenty-five people, the pick of Charles Frohman’s forces. The two boys are played by Jessie Busley and Min- nie Dupree, and the other characters will be enacted by such well-known actors as E. J. Ratcliffe, Thomas Kingston, Giles Shine, Dore Davidson, Ernest Hastings, Lawrence Edinger, Amelia Bingham, Frances Gaunt, Alice Fisher, Mabel Eaton and Lizzie Rachelle. “A Parlor Match.”—Of all the amusing skits written by clever Chas. Hoyt, “A Parlor Match” has been the most success- ful and the most lasting. Evans and Hoey starred continuously for ten seasons, and its further tours were interrupted on ac- count of Mr. Evans’ desire te retire from the stage and assume local management. The success that has attended his manage- ment of the Herald Square Theater is well knowr, and it was only by means of a mcst temptirg offer, made by Manager Ziegfeld, that Mr. Evans was induced to put in a season of greasepaint and travel. The company for this revival was es cially selected, and the scenic investiture is all new. As a special feature the celebra- ted French beauty and artist, Mlle. Anna Held, was imported from Paris, where she was a reigning sensation. Her reception in ttis country amounted to an ovation. and the Herald Square Theater was packed for weeks. This was also the fact at the ell as in every city she inty ditties will become the rage in Washington next week. The ergagement will begin with a spectal holl- day matinee on Washington's birthday. “On the Bowery.""—“On the Bowery,” the New York comedy-drama and original “Bowery” play, in which Steve Brodie is a promirent figure, has become a perennial favorite, and the announcement that it will be the attraction at the Academy next week should interest a large multitude of people. The popular success of the piece has been little short of amazing. Wonder has been expressed at the fact that a P y showing true scenes and characters of the Bowery should be entirely clean, free from the slightest immodes The reason is that the picture, quite €rue as far as it &ces, stops short of anything offensive in the rez] life of the Bowery. The fun is uproartous, but always pure. The charac- ters are a most amusing lot and are por- trayed in the most lifelike colors. As for melodramtic incidents, including Bro- jump from Brooklyn’ bridge and the rescue from the flames, they are the kind that raise audiences to the highest pitch of excitement. New specialties and new Bo: ery features are introduced this season. The engagement will begin with a special Washington's birthday, at the regular matinee prices of 25 and 50 cents for reserved seats. Lost, Strayed or Stolen.—‘Lost, Strayed or Stolen,” that excruciatingly funny Frencn farce which succeeded in putting all New York in a happy frame of mind dur- ing its run at the Fifth Avenue Theater recent romes to the Columbia, Monday nixht, March 1. “Lost, Strayed or Stolen” is described as a play that is all “laughter and lingerie,” something to attract the eye and ear is always in evidence, and there is a jingle and jest about the whole perform- ance that is said to prove irresistible to the average auditor. The original cast and pro- duction is promised for the Columbia en- gagement of “Lost, Strayed or Stolen,” whose company numbers over fifty players. Madame Lillian Nordica.—The appearance of Madame Lillian Nordica at the Lafayette Square Opera House, for one gr: mati- nee concert, Thursday, February 25, begin- ring at 4 p.m., will be hailed with delight, for she is the greatest singer of the age. She won for herself a place among the greatest artists of the world by her sur- passing successes in the Metropolitan Ope- ra Company, and at the great Wagnerian val at Bayreuth In 1894. Mme. Nordl- born in New England and first sang in public in church choirs in Boston. She afterward studied music under the best masters of Europe for two years, and sang with much success there in opera and con- cert. Her American debut was made with Her Majesty's Italian Opera Company, in Boston, in 186, when she sang Gilda in “Rigoletto,” and Violetta in “Traviata.” Then she returned to England, where she added to her repertoire the parts of Mar- guerite in “Faust,” Susanne In the “Mar- riage of Figaro,” and Don Elvira in “Don Giovanna. As her voice grew stronger she dropped the lighter roles from her reper- toire and became one of the few dramatic sopranos of England, while she at the same time became acknowledged through- out England as one of the best .resident cratorio singers. It must be highly grati- fying to those persons who have com- plained heretofore that no American singer, no matter what might be that singer’s abil: ity, could command the prices received by fcreign artists, to find Madame Lillian Nor- dica on the top wave of artistic prominence and financial success. She 1s not only just now at the zenith of her power as a dra- matic soprano, but is the only soprano available for those Wagnerian roles in which the great German singers have made their reputations. Seats are now on sale for this important occasion. The City Club Company.—The City Club Spectacular Farce Comedy Company will open at the Lyceum Monday matinee, Feb- ruary 22, for a week's engagement, under the management of Thomas E. Miaco. The Royal, The Absolutely Pure Baking Powder. (Extract from Report on Baking Pow- ders, by Prof. Clifford Richardson, Dist. Chemist,- Washington, D. C.) “The leavening power of the Royal is greatest of any. * * These investigations show the Royal Baking Powder is the best.” ‘A $27 Timepiece. “Beauty” Exquisite Solid Ladies’ W: the price was $40!

Man- ager Miaco, as keen'a judge of beauty as of talent, has spared neither pains nor ex- pense in mounting the first part, entitled “The City Club at the French Ball,” in which talented beatities vie with clever comedians in a variety of diversions, intro- ducing the famous queen of burlesque, Fan- nie Everett, who wfli assume the leading character in this and in the closing bur- lesque. The olio includes Thomas -Nolan, in character songs and popular parodies; those funny German dialect comedians, Fulton and Wooley;-Ollie Etherton and So- phie Erbs; Lillian Melborn, the musical ex- pert, in new jokes and songs; Carrie Ful- ton, who will be remembered for her clever rendition of popular negro melodies, with an entire new folio of gems; Gracie and Reynolds, clever character artists, intro- ducing one of their rough knock-about acts, and Nellie Waters, the best of all Irish character singers. ‘A new series of “Living Pictures’’ will be introduced between each act in the olio. The successful burlesque, “The Sporty Dutch-S," concludes the en- tertainment. It is a rollicking, jolly bur- lesque, full of bright songs, witty dialogue, catchy music and handsome girls. Evan Williams.—Philip Hale, the distin- guished musical critic of Boston, writing in the Boston Journal, thus describes the singing of Mr. H. Evan Williams in the tenor role of Rossini's “‘Stabat Mater” at the last Worcester Festival: “The per- formance of the glorious Stabat Mater was in many ways one of uncommon merit. The chief feature was the remarkable de- livery of the ‘Cujus Animam,’ by Mr. Evan Williams; I have never heard th famous air sung as well as it was sung to- night. Mr. Williams’ performance was characterized by a breadth that removed all suspicion of the vulgarity which some think intrinsic; the kangaroo leaps were not in evidence; the phrases were beauti- fully sustained, ‘There was tenderness that was always virile; there was power that was always musical. The climax, sung with full voice, was overwhelming. I know of no tenor who has appeared in this coun- try of late years, in opera or in concert, who could equal or even approach Mr. Wil- liams’ performance of this air.” Mr. Evan Williams has been secured by the Choral Society of Washington for the next con- cert, which will consist of Mendelssohn's “Hymn of Praise” and _ miscellaneous works, on March 1 and 2, and his solo will be the “Cujus Animam” from Stabat Ma- ter, which Philip Hale describes above. This will be the first appearance in th city of this distinguished tenor, and an un- usual amount of interest is being manifest- ed among the musical people to hear a tenor who, In these days of great singers, could command such unstinted praise from one of America’s most conservative critics. Concert.—There will be a concert at the Fifteenth Street M. E. Church next Friday evening, at which some excellent people will participate in the program. Dr. J. W. Bischoff, Mrs. Bischoff and Mr. Edward Lovy are some of the musicians secured, and the others will be fully up to the stand- ard that these names indicate. Dr. Croffut's Lecture—Dr. W. A. Crof- fut’s lecture on Egypt last Sunday even- ing filled the Typograhic Hall to over- flowing, and many were unable to get in. It is announced that the tickets held for that occasion will be good for admission to Dr. Croffut’s lecture on “The Shrines of Greece and Rome,” on next Sunday even- ing, same place. Musical Entertainment.—There will be a musical entertainment by the combined choirs of the North Capitol and Grace M. E. churches at Grace Church, corner 9th and § streets, this evening. The numbers on the program will be especially attrac- tive and they will ‘be well interpreted. There will be a luncheon afterward. “The Last Days of Pompeii.”— An audi- ence that crowded to their utmost capacity auditorium, gallery and open spaces gath- ered in the Western Presbyterian Church last evening to hear the first production of an original adaptation by the Rev. How- ard Wilbur Ennis of Lord Lytton’s thrill ing tale of The Last Days of Pompe! Mr. Ennis presented the dramatic recital with elocutionary force and effect. The stereopticon illustrations which were repro- ductions of the masterpieces of modern art were an index to the vast work performed by the adapter in the preparation, espectal- ly fine being the climactic portrayal of the actual eruption of Vesuvius by which Pom- peli was destroyed and buried. Perl more stirring narrative or finer literary work could have been chosen for the pur- pose. That it carried the hearers with it was manifest by the close attention and irequent applause as the‘ plot developed, By request Mr. Ennis will repeat his recital in the same place next ‘Tuesday evening. ——— 31-2 HOURS To Old Point Comfort.
