Grand Opera House.—“‘The Limited Mail Elmer E. Vance's realistic raitroad comedy which comes to the Grand Opera e next week, is a well-conceived melo- ‘ama with a remarkable: series of exciting and decidedly thrilling situations. It deals with railroads and railroad people. It con- ins telegraphers, tramps, section men ind train wreckers. There are clicking tel- graph instruments, realistic engines, pa- atial Pullmans and railway postal cars. There are tracks, hand cars, switches and unnels, and the railroad is utilized on the stage as it has never been before, for the author was a telegraph operator and train dispatcher at Columbus, Ohio, for years, nd his leisure time was not devoted to loafing or dissipation, nor to empty obser- vations about the depot; but he saw the “limited mails’ come and go daily and | nightly, and he has given them their or- lers. The su, ful production of his con- ception is the result of years of study, and he deserves the success he is everywhere meeting; and those who witness the per- ‘ormances here should remember that it rep- resents the work of many nights for many ears. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater. liams’ Own Company, an organization well and favorably known to the patrons of the um, opens for the usual week’s en- gagement on Monday next. This big at- traction has long been recognized as one of the leading standard vaudeville combina- tions of America, and has always been not- 4 for its novel acts, but during this visit it looks es if it will excel all previous rec- «, for on the program are the names of 's high up in the variety world. Man- H. W. Wil- | ager Scribner has made special endeavors nd gone to great expense to give the vaude- ville public a good show next week, and submits the following list of artists for their approval: On the roster are the Ger- ; | man comedians, the Rogers Brothers; Clif- ! ford and Huth, in their original comedy | sketch, entitled “The Chappie’s Call,” in which a unique cake walk is a feature; Ben- netto and Reto, a team of remarkable ac- robats and contortionists; Smith and Fuller in their original musical act, introducing the South American “Marimbo;” Fisher and Carroll, two clever Celtic comedians; Dixon, Bowers and Dixon, singers, dancers and acrobats, and Emery and Marlowe, up- to-date comedy sketch artists. Another nent member of the organization is Maud Ramond, who has been specially sing soubrette from the Olympic Gardens, New York, and said to be at the head of her line. ‘Captain Impudence.”"—For the week be- ginning March 15 Manager Rapley has se- cured for the Academy, Edwin Milton s comedy drama of the Mexican ‘aptain Impudence,.” which has re- cently elesed a long and successful en- gagement at the American Theater, New York. The action of the play opens at Saltillo, near Buena Vista, just before the famous battle of that name. Jovita Tala- manca, a Mexican girl, held a prisoner on parole in the American gamp, having been captured at Monterey by Captain hields, who had killed her father in bat- tle, although this fact is unknown to her. He shows her unusual kindness and con- sideration, which is misinterpreted by Jo- vita, who. in love with him herself, stung to jealo nd madness by his attentions to the daugater of his major, the young girl with whom he fs really in love, she | Joins Mendoza, a prisoner, in a plot to de- | Stroy the American army by conveying | secret information to Santa Anna.

After her | remorse overtakes Jovita and she | returns in disguize to the American camp save the lives that she and Mendoza jeopardized. She succeeds in doing | so by the aid of a detachment of Mexicans who were nearby awaiting a signal from her. How Shieids afterward gains his freedum from the Mexicans and a pardon from the American authorities and marries Lueretia, the girl of his choice, while Jo- vita retires to a convent, and how all this thread of plot is helped forward by abun- dant comedy scenes between Shields and his sweetheart, Lucretia Bugg; the old major, her father; Mrs. Trigg, a dashing widow, and Jim, an oid negro servant, it needless to relate.

H. Crane’s succe: My Wife’s Father,” and “A Fool of Fortune,” and also of Hugh Merton, the author of “An American Beauty,” in which Lillian Russell is now appearing. “Miss Francis of Yale” is de- scribed as being the limit of laughter—not that kind which yields to buffoonery, but that which emanates from bright, terse dialogue, humorous complications and the intelligent kumor which naturally arises from a well told story dealing with the farcical side of life. ‘‘Miss Francis of Yale" will shortly go to Wallack’s Theater, New York, fer an extended run. “The Old Homestead.”—An ever-welcome visitor in the theatrical world is Denman Thompson's play, “The Old Homestead,” which comes to the Lafayette Square Opera House beginning Monday, the 15th instant, with the usval Wednesday ang Saturday matinees. The cast of characters are in the hands of the same members as at the last visit, including Archie Boyd as “Joshua Whitcomb,” W. M. Cressy as “Cy Prime.” Chas. H. Clark as “Seth Perkins” and Marie Kimball as “Aunt Matilda.” All the scenery is new since the last visit. First we see the old farm yard in the most rural part ef New Hampshire, the hay stacked in the barn yard, the golden grain in the distance, and the farmer and his men pursuing their daily vocations. The scene is like a bit of New England trans- ferred bodily to the theater, and one never thinks of {it as stage scenery at all. In the next act we find ourselves in a New York drawing room, with Uncle Josh tell- ing home news to his city friend. The magnificent scene of Grace Church on Broadway, New York, follows, and it ts here that we see one of the most impres- sive sights that cculd be put upon a stage. The grand old church, lighted up inside, the voices of the invisible choir rehearsing Pete a She Seales tones cf e organ, an e Bt le green of moonlight flooding the whole picture. In the last act we have the interior of the farm house in the winter. Here is solid comfort, and although you hear the wintry blasts howl without, you see that there is a roaring fire in the wide fireplace, that w | is run another week at the Bijou Family Theater, the large attendance during the past few days making the prolonged stay recessary. The company has made a great hit here, and there is every prospect that the business done during the rest of the time here will exceed that of the week just passed. The Martinetties arrived from Boston a few days ago, and will join the show day after tomorrow, and their advent alone has created a boom in seats not equaled for some time. The old fa- vorites will be retained, and the many me- chanical and scenic effects will be added to. Annie Ashley, who made one of the sensations of the plece with one of Madge Ellis’ songs, will repeat that, and also. will give one of Bonnie Thornton’s latest. Cy- rene and Alfred Miaco will do their regu- lar turn, and Barton and Barton will re- peat the tough cake walk that won seven encores each of the eight night perform- ances this week. Beahan and Dakin have added three imitations to their repertoire, but will retain what is perhaps the best thing of the kind ever heard here, the imi- tation of a church organ. -Miaco and Tay- lor have been in hard training for some time, and their new hand balancing should take, as well as the acrobatic work of the Martinetties. The show goes on the road the week of March 15. A Bargain Matinee.—There will be a bar- gain matinee at the Lafayette Square Op- era House next Wednesday, when an op- portunity will be had to see one of the very best plays of recent years, “The Heart of Maryland,” which has paeked the house at every performance during the past week. ‘The entire lower floor and the mezzanine boxes will be 50 cents and the balcony 25.

H. Rapley. An Evening With Poe.—An Evening With Edgar Allan Poe is the title of a mag- nificent new lecture by Prof. H. B. Rossel, which will be delivered at Carroll Institute Hall next Friday night. The lecture wiil be illustrated by over seventy discolving views, including a most reflistic fire scene. All of Poe’s best poems will be recited, among which are Ulalume, Lenore, the Bells, the Weird and Ghastly Murderer, and famous Raven, presented as a “picture play.” A number of the Ifilustrations were drawn especially for this lecture by Mr. W. H. Chandlee of The Evening Star. Mr. Wilton Lackaye at the head of his own company and with a play that has met with great success wherever it has teen presented will shortly play an engage- ment here at the New National Theater. Mr. Lackaye has always been a favorite in this his native city, and he will be warmly welcomed on his first appearance as a star. His ability as an actor is unquestioned, and he has perhaps as great creative power as any one now upon the American stage. “Reign of the Frost King.''"—Prof. H. A.

Here Mrs. Carter broke into the most infectious rippling laughter, in which her visitor was bound to join whether the speech that preceded it war- ranted it or not. It is a way of Mrs. Carter’s apparently to magnetize those about her. The deter- mination that conquered obstacles in ker profession, allied to this charm of manner, opens a field for her which will give her opportunities of which she will undoubted- ly avail herself to her future greater suc- ecss.
