Mr. E. H. Sothern portrays the hero with a grace which captivates the matinee con- tingent and with a vigor which enlists the approval of the less susceptible male. The public has learned to like him quite as well in medieval costume as in evening dress. So thorough a transition successfully ac- hed leaves no doubt of his versa- . A fortunate thing it is that his gentlemanly drawl and his occasional rigidities of facial expression adapt them- selves so happily to any role that he cares to assume. The play is a rapid succession of episodes, exciting and skillfully devised, from the pen of R. N. Stephens. It 1s rather ©. piece of mechanism than an am- bitious Hterary attempt, although there are sentimental passages handied with great delicacy and with facility of lan- guage. The story confines itself rather severely to the fortunes of the Huguenot hero (Mr. Sothern) and his lady love (Miss Mary Hampton.). None of the other characters present a very strong claim to the sympathies of the audience. They assert themselves in con- nection with the plot no more than is ab- soluiely essential for the development of the situaticns in which the star and the ding lady are concerned. The effect is rtain attenuation in the story. In a large number of cases the men seem searcely more than figures upon which to hang costumes. Their garments fasten the attention of the ectator in a way that ves a little disappointment over the dis- ry that they are, in a sense, only su- umeraries. There is a disposition on he part of the supporting company to ex- E agitation and suspense by extremely hurried utterance. The result is a sacrifice which in a is so rapid often sure important suggestions M of distinctness in enunciation, where the action threatens to obs d_ effect. put from him have been an ® a speech. Sothern mod- to most actors : temptation While ctor’s repertoire, it is a consistent, play, full of unhackneyed mate- and showing resources in structural worthy of Sardou himself. Last night's house was an unmistakable omen of good business for the week. Columbia Theater.—The audience witne: presentation of “Heartea by Frohman’s company at the Columbia Theater last night found occasion to con- cur in the favorable advance notices of this production. The play and the com- pany red a su in their first night in Wasnington, which the old theater- goers prophesy will be accentuated as the week grows. “Heart its old-fash- joned title characters Powdered snuffboxe implie nd a play introducing of the olden time. wigs ‘and patches, queues and . and the air of courts and gu observer € = London town, at its height. But when the se between a burch of garden heartsease and a cluster of exotics, 5 the sincere and sim- ple characters of Eric Temple and sis- ter to the brilliant Lady Neville and the scrupulous Sir Geoffrey Pomfret. The ers of “Heartsease,” Charles Klein and . C. Clarke, have made consistency the 5 ig element of the thrilling scene of human interest which they portray. There is no straining for effect and the author have worked up to the se brillant and stirring climaxes easily naturally In the course of the story the last act is a climax totally unex) and surprising, but immediately acceptable by reason of its fitness and exceedingiy teresting In its detail, provoking the audi- ence to spontaneous applause. The motive of the play centers upon the struggles of E Temple, a musical genius of good th, for fame through the production of his opera as a stepping stone to gain the le f the Ho Neville, the step- da of L e, who is the young wife of an old hus’ The plot is com plicated in the first act by the fection of Lady Neville for Eric ple and the love of Sir Geoffrey Pomfret in his Miss Neville. Sir © -offrey Pomfret in hi S to separate Miss Neville and Eri: Temple steals his opera, presents it as of his own production and reaps fame and praise, but which is snatched from him py return of Temple and discovery of the i of the idy. The company includes some Frohman’s best people, wh rames are familiar to Washington theater gcers. Mr. F Miller is the star, and as Erie Temple interpreted the part in such a manner as to deserve the highest pralse. He has long been a favorite here, but in this part he has surpassed all his former work and proved himself an actor of the highest attainments. Mr. John T. Sullivan, as the villain, in the persen of Sir Geoffrey Pomfret, sustained the reputation whic already won as an actor. Mrs. ke Boucicault, as Lady Neville,won her way immediately into the hearts of those who had never seen her and main- tained the position which she held in the mation of old admirers. Miss Grace imball, who made such a favorable im- pression when she was here with Mr. Soth- ern, successfully assumed the difficult role of the Hon. Miss Neville. The other mem- bers of the cast were fully up to the stand- ard. There were eight curtain calis for the company at the close of the third act and Mr. Henry Miller was compelied to make a speech. when it was pre- hington the first time, there that, while Mr. Seabrooke upporting company were emi- nently capable people, there was not enough in the play to bring out the full strength of its interpreters. There was a of disappointment along with this, was a feeling and his too, for the audience felt kindly toward both players and playright. Last night Mr. abrooke, accompanied by an equally st, presented “The Speculator” at and the large audience soon came to the conclusion that it was quite a enough play, played in quite good ugh manner for anybody. In other words, ft was a success. Of course, it may be criticised, and ft may be com- pared with other plays in which stock ambling excitement is the spirit of the action, but neither criticism nor compari- s away from {ts generally attrac- ualities. Mr. Secbrooke as the old si or, John Fullerton, and Horace Mitchell as his son Robert constitute one {combination on the market, and against it are A. H. Stuart as Henry Duncan and | Miss Lorarine Dreux as his daughter, in love with Robert Fullerton. In that 1s’ the the Fuliartons fighting to destroy. can, and making no less effort to save daughter out of the wreck. Another pair of lovers, less prominent, are C. W. McDonald as a heavy swell ‘Englishman { Genevieve McCloud as Lillian Fuller- and still another, Charles Lee as a clety dude turned cowboy. and Miss Edith Totten as Marian Fullerton. These parts are all pla: with spirit, as is that of the Chimmie Fadden office boy by Mr. T. W_ Peters. The strongest act 1s the second, in which the speculators fight their great gattle at the tickers, and this is done with « sustained energy and in- tensity which makes the curtain a rellef, and shows that Mr. Seabrooke is really a play actor. The third and last act is more love than speculation—love not being a speculative quantity—and in the domestic surroundings of home Mr. Seabrooke has time to say and do some very funny and this is Mr. Seabrooke’s most ractive part, for people like best to laugh in comedies Academy of Music.—The attraction at the Ac my this week is “In Mizzoura,” by Augustus Thomas—a very pretty play and very prettily mounted and well presented. lt has been seen here before, when Nat Goodwin played the role of Jim Radbourn, the big-hearted, generous-souled sheriff of Pike county. Last evening the part was n by Charles Eccles Hall, and his por- al of it was a finished bit of acting, a piece of work delightfully clever. The play is a representation of Missouri life, full of stirring incidents, devoid of sensationalism, telling a neat love story, which ends, as all love stories should, in the union of the loved and beloved. As Mrs. Joe Vernon, the acksmith's wife, Miss Marle Laurence gave a most faithful picture of the burden- ed mother and wife, easily dividing the honors with Mr. Hall. As her husband, with legislative aspirations, Mr. F. C. Ham- ilton was very effective, his apprentice, Dave, tn the person of Mr. J. C. Nugent, being an uncommonly fine piece of char- acter work. Other well-played characters were those of Col. Tom Bollinger, the coun- ty lawyer; Robert Travers, “from the city,” the cisguised train robber, and the one vil- lain in the play, faithfully portrayed by Mr. Richard Raymond. As Kate Vernon, the seminary-educated daughter of the simple ecuntry people, the heroine, Miss Jean Ev- elyn did excellently; Miss Margaret Mercer, as ‘Lizbeth, her sister, making quite a hit. The company, in fact, is a well-balanced ore throughout, and the good-sized audi- ence present fully appreciated the really fine work. “In Mizzoura” will be presented at every performance this week, and big houses are assured. The Grand Opera House.—William Cal- ders “Saved .From the Sea,” a higher class cf melodrama than the ordinary type, was the attraction at the Grand Opera Houee last night, and it must have been an unusual attraction, for it drew to the house all the people who could get in there. And the audience was well pleased, to judge from the vociferous and continued evidences of its approval. “Saved From the Sea, while of the higher type of melodrama, is not above having a hero, a heroine who will have money, a villain who tries to thwart the course of cash and true love, and the usual people who have fun amidst the woes of others. But it all comes out right in the end, and life is as beautiful as it ought to be. Andrew Robson, a good actor, is the hero: Laura Hulbert is a sweet heroine, Gertie Palmer is a pretty country maid, Gilbert and Lang are the villains, Hume and Evans have comedy parts, and Little Mamie Murray is bright and catchy and cute. The play is v well staged, and some of its effects are quite out of the ordinary, and that much more inter- esting and effective. All things considered, it is a great yey for the Grand, and de- serves its suc Bijou Theater.—-The negro in the legiti- mate has become an assured fact. ‘he genuine negro minstrels have glven way to sketch teams, acrobats and farce come- dies. This week an opportunity is offered at the Bijou of witnessing the latter, and “Darktown After Dark” furnishes ample amusement and gives the colored’ actors a chance of demonstrating their ability. Like all farce comedies, there Is just enough plot to bring out the talents of sev- eral clever specialists. Will Carson proved a good comedian and provoked roars of laughter. Charles Gibbs presented a mon- ologue that is funny, and Lily Williams had no trouble in singing herself into pop- ularity. Dick Miner kept the audience con- vulsed. The Coon Town Quartet rendered several songs and choruses in effective style, and the Payne Sisters installed them- selves as clever duetists. A feature of the company 1s the appearance of John and Jess. the dancing pickaninnies late of the Francis Wilson company, and the termina- tion of the performance with a big cake walk that is well done. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Under_ the management of Rohert Fulgora, Hopkins’ Transatlantic Specialty Company added new laurels to its already enviable reputa- tion at Kernan’s last night. Each year new and better features are added, and the result is ever pleasing. Ford and Fran- cis execute a clever sketch as a curtain raiser, and Mr. Ford introduces several of his new tuneful airs. Those mirth-provok- ing specialists, Sharp and Flatt, put the audience in a musical mood by their rendi- tion of popular airs gn all kinds of instru- ments, and they even went so far as to shake themselves with music. Rosie Ke dall, direct from London, tripped the light fantastic in a most acceptable manner, and illustrated the national dances of several Horace Benners, with a rich baritone voice, was excellent, and Morton and Reveile presented a laughabie sketch. Salmo jroved a wonderful contortionist, and Carroll Johnson presented a novel act. The Nawns contributed a new sketch, and the performance closed with a score of pictures from the Kinematographe, the views being especially pleasing. The Blograpli.—Last week was the most successful of the engagement of the Bio- graph at Willard’s Hall, and the three ex- hibitions yesterday would seem to begin a week more successful than any of its pre- decessors. In addition to the views of the inaugura! parade, which are very popular, several other rew pictures were added yesterday, including Madison Square, New York city, Loie Fuller in three colors, tne monkeys’ feast, the return of tne prodigal, and others. The pictures have been in- creased in numbers until now there thirty-five in all, comprising nearly ev phase of the movements of daily life. e lectures of Mr. Durham ar pleasing, brief and comprehensive in explanation. “The Crucifixion.—The vested choir of the Pro-Cathedral of St. Mark’s sang the are oratorio “The Crucifixion” last night be- fore a large and brilliant audience. The Snot is a large one, consisting of sixty voice . and sang the beautiful work in a manner almost beycnd criticism. Mr. Don- ld B. MeLeod directed the choir and Miss Mary P. R played the accompaniment on the or; Tle solos were well sung an. by Mr. Wm. D. McFarland, tenor, and Mr. Charles E. Rice, bass. The Bischoff Concert.—The Bischoff cert to be given tomorrow night at the Congregational Church, corner 10th and G promises to be one of the most en- of the series. A concert that has the name of Bischoff attached to it 1s pret ty apt to be successful in Washington, and when it has a long list of well-known musi- cians and entertainers as well, as the pres- ent event has, the indications ure that it will be more than successful. The program as made up for tomorrow night, is well selected, and will afford pleasure in every feature. It includes vocal solos by Miss L. Mae Edmonston, Miss May Adele Levers, Mr. George F. Mills, Miss Lillian Sefto Mrs. James Cox, Mr. J. Walter Humphre Mrs. Hattie Meads Smith and Miss Eliza. beth Trahly. Miss Marston ard Miss Trah- ly will be accompanied on the violin. by Miss Florence H. King. the violoncello by Dr. Siebert, piano, by Mrs. Bischoff, and organ by Dr. Bischoff. The last named will open the concert with a Chopin nocturne (No. 11), and the “Tannhauser” mar The choir of the church will have two num- bers, and Mr. Guy V.

New pic- tures are being provitied each week, and the attendance is visibly greater with each week of its engagement. One of the largest audiences of the engagement was present last night, and there were also large crowds at the two afternoon exhibi- tions. Some entirely new pictures were shown last night, and these, with the old ones, made a list of views that is sure to pleast all who see this interesting inven- tion. A number of tke views shown last night had to be repeated on account of the applause with which they were received, and all of them received a large amount of the sincerest kind of epproval. The Vita- neeae exhibitions are given at 2:30, 4:30 and 215 p.m. The Crystal Maze.—The Crystal Maze, at 427 7th street, is stil open to the public, and although it has remained in Washing- ton a long time, its popularity has enabled it to continue the engagement. The Maze is a most wonderful place. In one position you see at least forty reflections of your own image in a straight line, like @ com- pany of soldiers; one step to the front or the rear and you are without company. In another position you see a dozen of yourself standing around in a circle, but three inches to the right or left and you are again alone. A woman with mirrors arranged as they are in the Maze would never have an excuse for a swaying dress or a hat on one side, for, standing in the very center of the labyrinth, you may see yourself at every conceivable angle. Mr. Clum’s Lecture.—Mr. John P. Clum will give his interesting lecture on Califor- nia and the great northwest at the Ham- iine M. E. Church, corner 9th and P streets northwest, tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. The lecture will be given under the auspices of the Epworth League So- | elety of that church, and will be hand- somely illustrated by stereopticon views. A Course of Art L ures.—A course of tures will be given by Mrs. Julia R. ‘ rat 1116 Vermont avenue, begin- ning tomorrow at 4 o'clock, when the sub- ct will be “Significance in Art Continued,” psychological values in painting.
