The New National Theater.—That infal- lible entertainer, Mr. Sol Smith Russell, appeared at the New National Theater last night. with the usual gratification on the part of the audience. He has established certain traditions for himself, and he lives up to these with the utmost consistency. The public expects to see him as a shy. unconventional person, and there would probably be a sense of disappointment if any of his plays should, by chance, exhibit any dramatic originality or force other than what is absolutely demanded to make a background for the character he as- sumes. “A Bachelor's Romance” is the latest member of an unbroken dynasty of mediocre dramas recorded on Mr. Russell's programs from season to season. His part is that of a literary man, who, after the manner of numerous other stage heroeS, falls in love, and wonders what can be the matter with him. The role enables Mr. Russell to be himself as unreservedly as possible, and is therefore to be accepted as a popular achievement. Pathos has been bestowed with a liberai pen, nearly every character having at one time or an- other a chance to try his luck with the lachrymal glands of the audience. But there is, nevertheless, enough opportunity for fun to keep Mr. Russell's normal func- tions from being perverted; and there was enough response to the plunge into senti- ment to show that tears are still ranked among the histrionie luxuries. “A Bach- elor’s Romance” shows # great deal of skill in combining and glossing old mate- rial, and the atmosphere of tranquillity which is absolutely essential in a play for Russell would prevent, equally, am- tious declamatory flights and abject horse-play. The most difficult role in the performince is that of Sylvia, the bach- elor’'s ward, who unexpectedly grows up. It is assumed in a highly creditable man- ner by Miss Bertha Creighton. George W. Denham and Alfred Hudson both contrib- ute some admirable character delineation. The audience was large, and so prompt in its apprpval that Mr. Russell was com- pelled 6 deliver a speech before the cur- tain when it rang down on the first act. Whatever may be its unacknowledged obli- gations as to ideas, and its triteness of lit- erary method, there is no gainsaying the fact that “A Bachelor's Romance,” with Mr. Russell and Miss Creighton in the lead- ing roles, is a wholesome and highly en- joyable entertainment. There will be a matinee tomorrow, Wednesday, afternoon end also one on Saturday. Lafayette Square Opera House—A mill- tary play next to a hot political campaign or @ declaration of war has the power of stirring the diverse emotions of people, and cone of the leading end latest of this class of play is David Belasco’s romantic melo- drama, “The Heart of Maryland.” The of the play are laid in the beautiful in valley, not more than fifty miles shington, and in this city the play received its first production, a little more than a year ago. Its success has been what th rical managers love to refer to as “phenomenal,” and there was no indication in the large aucience last night of wan- ing popularity. There have been some changes from the original cast, but not at all to the detriment of the presentation, and it would seem that each part was about as well done as it could be done. It is scarcely necessary to recount the incidents of the play, but chief in them is Mrs. Leslie Car- ter, who created the character of Mary- Jand Calvert, and has gone on improving it until she has made herself a really powerful actress in it. As Col. Alan Ken- drick, her sweetheart, Mr. Herbert Kelcey is a handsome Union officer, who looks as well as he plays. A very nasty villain, in- deed, is Mr. John E. Kellerd as Col. Thorpe, and the scene in which Maryland Calvert fills him full of bayonet jabs 1s not only Very strong, but meets‘with the vociferous approval of the entire house. The death scene of Lloyd Calvert, as done by Mr. Williams, is strong enough to make the cold chills run down one’s back. Of course, the piece de resistance of the play is in the third act. when Mrs. Carter in a burst of dramatic and theatric acrobatism swings from the clapper of the bell in the church tower and saves the life of her lover. As an emotional actress in this sensational scene no one can dispute Mrs. Carter's pewer.- In all points the play Went well and smoothly, and it was en- joyed by a fine audience, including among the visitors Gov. Bushnell of Ohio and party in decorated boxes, Mr. Abner Mc- Kinley and Miss McKinley and party, and a number of theater parties all over the house. Columbia Theater.—The “free” adaptation of “Lost, Strayed or Stolen” by J. Cheever Goodwin has not taken from the original musical farce enough of the French fun and dash to hurt it in the least. It must have been altogether too excruciatingly nny and amusing otherwise. As it stands now it proves a most hilarious farce, th it a musical background, not too dense to in- terfere with the enjoyment of those who do not care for singing, and yet sufficiently in evidence to cater to the happiness of those who love light, catchy airs and sprightly chorus singing. The swish of French skirts and the snap-dash of French comedy are constantly on top of the production, which is, fortunately, devotd of opportunities for specialty work, and, so far as an exceed- ingly frail farce can be, it is legitimate. The article “Lost, Strayed or Stolen” is a six-weeks-old baby, about to be christened. By a curious complication arising from a divided authority in the parental nouse- hold, three godfathers are invited to offi- clate, and the distracted father, a prosper- ous Parisian florist, is about to plan an act of violence to rid himself of the superfluous talent in this direction when the baby dis- appears. The frantic father sings a song and does a dance, and then, accompanied | by the three godfathers, rushes off in chase of the infant. This leads the quartet into some very funny situations. In the second act they turn up in the barrack; room of a regiment. where they are obliged to don uniforms to escape detection when the cap- tain comes for inspection. The fun here is mostly the result of grotesque costuming, but it seized the audience violently, never- theless. In the third act the chase winds up in the boudoir of an actress, where the pursuers, now reduced to three, become dreadfully involved because of the jealousy of the actress’ protector, a peppery-tem- pered Cuban. The three’ men are set to work as artisans, and the laughter result- ing from the comicat situations is ceaseless throughout the act. The baby is found in the last act, and the farce ends with a rousing chorus. Louis Harrison as the father is very funny indeed. The three godfathers are and humorously impersonated by Paul Dresser, Bob F. Cotton and Brooke. Bert’C. Thayer makes a handsome young conscript of aristocratic »ciations and good vocal abilities, and Mr. Dan Packard has a good part as a pes- simistic corporal. Miss Georgia Caine <p- rs in only one act, but makes the most her opportunities there, and sings and acts in a captivating manner. There are upwards of a score of pretty girls in the company, all good dancers and singers. The male chorus work in the second act is of 4 superior sort. “It is a Boy,” “Kissing” and “Two Heads Are Better Than One” are among the bright songs that punctuate the farce. Last night the theater was crowded. Grand Opera House.— Yesterday after- noon Eddie Foy and his American Travesty Company in “Off the Earth” started in at the Grand Opera House to break the rec- ord of performances in a week’s time in this city. Fifteen separate performances will be given during the week, embracing matinees daily and three extra midnight performances Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The start off yesterday afternoon and evening was very auspicious, the house being crowded at both performances with enthusiastic audiences. The travesty “Off the Ear is replete with pretty girls, aborate scenes, good singing, daacing, alties and almost continuous comedy | work. Eddie Foy, 1s, of course, the star, and | nothwithstanding the fact that this 13 his | fourth appearance in Washington as the | star of burlesque companies many new friends were added to his long list of ad- mirers. His songs were given as only Foy can give them, and In the matter of im- promptu comedy business his natura! wit and quickness were always in evidence. In | the supporting company Miss Mary Mar- ble as Dimples, a sort of soubrette char- acter, was exceptionally clever, perform- ing her allotted nes and business with en- Joyable di and humor. In boys’ parts she gave additional evidence of exceptional versatility. Miss Marie De Campi as Prince Charley, and Miss Adlyn Estee as Luna, looked and acted the parts to per- fection. James E. Sullivan as Stag Party and Oscar Hall as Wilted Willie, were close up to Mr. Foy in the matter of fur- nishirg the audience with laughing periods, the acrobatic work of the latter being far above the average. The remainder of the | cast assumed their alloted parts with en- ; Joyable precision and cleverness. Academy of Music.—When, at the be- ginning of the season, “The Great Dia- mond Robbery” was announced at the Academy the idea prevailed that it was. merely one of the ordinary blood-and-thun- ders and not much extra thought was allowed {t, but one performante changed the whole complexion of opinion, and then there was not house room for the audi- ences, and no finer audiences were at any theater in the city than were at the Acad- emy. “The Great Diamond Robbery” was a fashionable fad and had a great week. Now the play comes again, and, though there have been changes in the cast, the play remains the same, and in capable hands js as successful as could be asked. Mme. Janauschek, who as Mother Rosef- baum added luster to her great fame as an actress, is the star of the constellation, but there are others who glitter about her, such as Joseph Whiting, Mrs. Annie Yea- mans, Miss Cora Edsall and Miss Louise Closser. It {s not often one may see so famous an actress as Mme. Janauschek in plays of this character, and she naturally adds an interest which an audience is not slow to realize and to approve with noisy demonstrations, as was evinced last night on her appearance. Mrs. Yeamans as the Irish woman was more than popular with the audieace. Bijou Theater.—Most pleasing to old and young alike is the pantomime presented at the Bijou this week. It is really re- freshing these days to witness an old time pantomime, and when it is presented by such a sterling company as Miaco’s Special- ty Company the amusement loving public is indeed wel: treated. Few clowns ever attained the popularity of Miaco. In the good old days when one ring circuses were enough to interest the masses, he was the idol of the little onee and the king of fun makers. He has lately transferred his fun from the sawdust to the stage, but the change is rather to his advantage. He has collected a first-class specialty company, and the theater last night was crowded to the doors. The specialties presented are all first-class, and Cyrene, the queen of the slack wire, contributes a startling act, assisted by Alfred Miaco. There will be almost continuous performances through- out the week, and every visitor should drop in and spend a couple of hours with the leaders of the vaudeville world. Kernan’s Lyceum __Theater.—Manager Kernan provided wisely when he engaged Flynn and Sheridan for inauguration week, for no company before the public offers such a varied and at the same time en- tertaining performance. It 1s in reality two organizations, one composed of white artists, the other of the best negro talent extant. There is a richness of wardrobe combined with pretty faces and shapely forms, all contributing to the success of the feminine contingent. A couple of first- class burlesques are introduced, and these with the specialties consume the greater part of three hours. To accommodate the big crowds Manager Kernan has arranged for a special midnight performance on the night of the 4th, and throughout the week extra performances will be given as the occasions arise. The Biograph.—The attraction at Willard Hall is more attractive this week than usual, opening as it does with new pic- tures, including one of striking beauty in natural colors. With movement and color, sound only is now needed to give life, and Mr. Allen’s lectures, with the picture: very neariy give the sound needed. To ac- commodate the inauguration visliors the hours have been doubled, and performances are now given at 10 a.m., 12 m., 2, 4, 6 and 215 p.m. : : “Battles of Our Nation."—One of the best attractions in Washington this week is “The Battles of Our Nation,” a splendid historical and musical spectacular, inter- preted by the famous Conterno’s band of New York a a company which thoroughly understands its business. A large audience witnessed the first perform- ance last night and went away so dclight- ed that the prospect for the balance of the week is immense crowds. Not only is the spectacular itself a unique and praise- worthy entertainment, but the scenery an} tableau are fine. Added to these ‘s the music of the celebrated band. Patriotic is every feature. Beginning with the first op- position of the Americans to the Britich rule, the audience is carried through the various stages of home history in a vivid manner to the present time. All of the tableaux were inspiring. Dr. G. E. Con- no and the venerable Luciano Conternc were warmly greeted by the audience. The performances are under the auspices of the 2d Regiment, District National Guard, and last night several hundred of the sol dier boys were present. Governor Grout of Vermont, accompanied by his siaff, wit- nessed the performance and expressed ad- miration. Robert Warring, formerly a member of the Bostonians, is with the company, and sang sweedly. The singing all around was good. The Crystal Maze.—The second week of the Crystal Maze opened last night with the labyrinths crowded by a laughing, merry throng that made incessant fun out of the many ludicrous situations brought about by the mystic mirrors. ‘That the Maze ts a success is assured beyond any doubt, and the people who have visited it since it was first opened have bee of the best known residents of the 1. ‘The Maze is fully as great a success in Washington as it has been in other large cities where it has beeg exhibited, and the indications are that it will be able to run an indefinite period. Preparations have been made to entertain a large number of visitors during the present week, and th Maze will be open day and night for the: accommodation. Choral Society's Concert.—The Choral So- ciety in the presentation of Mendelssohn's “Hymn of Praise” last evening at the First Congregational Church added a distinct and memorable success to the long list of its musical achievements. There was a large audience, which was evidently at all times critical, but did not withhold its ap- Plause from any part of the performance, whether individual or choral. The “Hymn of Praise” by its comparative brevity af- fording opportunity for several individual numbers in the first part of the program, th “Hallelujah” chorus from Beethoven's “Mount of Olives” was sung; Mrs. H. C. Browning, accompanied by Dr. Bischoff at the organ, sang in an exquisitely pure voice the mad scene from Ambroise Thomas’ “Hamlet;” Mr. H. Evan Williams gave the “Cujus Animam" from Rossini's “Stabat Mater,” and Mlle. Camille Seygard sang the aria, “Il Est Doux,” from Massenet’s “Herodiade.”” The “Hymn of Praise,” while shorter than the usual cantata, abounds in mag- nificent passages, which the Choral Socie- ty last evening interpreted with marvelous feeling and power. The theme of the can- tata is expressed in the first chorus, “All Men, All Things, All That Has Life and Breath, Sing to the Lord.” It is throughout a soulful, esthetic expression of thanksgiv- ing and praise. The chorus, under Prof. Josef Kaspar's direction, was most sympathetic in its shading, and responded throughout all its numbers to the fullest requirements in har- mony and volume. The tenor recitative by Mr. Williams was probably the greatest individual suce of the evenin: His voice is of the purest quality, and its rich- ness and depth at times might casilV claim for it the effectiveness of a baritone. in the passage “Watchman, will the night soon pass?’ Mr. Williams rose to its high- est performance, picturing with exquisite modulation the condition of man before divine help came. Mile. Seygard sang the solo with the semi-chorus in the passage “Praise thou the Lord, O my spirit!’ Her voice was rich, velvety and expressive, but had a somewhat unpleasant vibrato: ual ity, and was possibly now and then in- correct in tone. Mrs. Browning and Mile. Seygard sang the duet in the passuge “I waited for the Lord” with fine effect, their voices when in unison being clear and rich. Mrs. Browning, it was apparent thmugh- out the evening, struggled with a scvere cold. The closing chorus, “Ye nations, ye monarchs, thou heaven, the whe offer to the Lord glory and might,” was a fitting climax in the choral performance of the, evening. The concert will be repeated tonight. - Goldwin Patten’s Benefit.—A large num- ber of friends of Mr. Goldwin Patten at- tended the benefit tendered him last even- ing at Gonzaga Hall and witnessed an en- tertainment which was enjoyable in every detail. The music was furnished by_ the Carroll Institute Orchestra and the Met- ropolitan Mandolin Quartet, and was ade- quate in every respect. Mr. Patten gave a number of selections, and was enthusias- tleally received. Among these was a scene from “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” admir- ably given. He also took the dual part of Ruy Blas and Don Caesar de Bazan in the third act of “Ruy Blas,”’ scene one. In this he was assisted by D. C. Haywood as Den Salluste de Bazan; James H. Cathell as Count of Alba; Mr. Carroll as Sancho, J. H. Hayden as Alcade, Miss A. B. Pat- ten as Paquita and Mrs, Mary Manly Hay- wood as Marianne de Neuroyrg. The cast was well selected and supported Mr. Pat- ten well. Miss Bessie 8. Driver “Because I Love You,” Little Lollie Ray gave Bischoff's “He Told Me so,” R. F. Bingham sang “The Exile’s Return,” Miss Mattie Wade sang and Marie Howe re- citd “The Minuet.” As an encore Miss Howe gave the "’ dance. The closing feature of the program was a scene from “Katherine end Petruchio,” tn which Mrs. Haywood took the part of Katherine and Mr. Patten, Petruchio. The scene was well given and both of the principals acquitted themselves in a highly creditable manner. Mr. Patten is well known in Washington as a rieit.g’ young amateur, and his friends precict a bright future-for him should he decide to make the stege his profession. John P. Clum’s Lecture.—Tonight at 8 o'clock. Mr. John P.

The sale took Place in Hines’ absence from the city, and, as he claimed. for a wholly disproportion- ate amount.

The affair had been looked forward to with a great deal of interest, and expectation was not disappointed. All the costumes were up to date, and an absence of hackneyed characters was no- ticed. At least three hundred people were on the floor, but the arrangements were so plersantly carried out that dancing was not cnly possible, but was really enjoyed.
