Lafayette Square Opera House.—A de- lghtful comedy, an excellent company of players and a crowded and appreciative house were the features of the presenta- tion of “The Hobby Horse” at the Lafay- ette Square Theater last night. Mr. John Hare's first appearance in Washington this season Was greeted by the theater goers ina manner which must have been accepted as @ most cordial welcome by himself and his azsociates. “‘The Hobby. Horse,” writ- ten by Arthur W. Pinero, supplies a char- acter of humor, somewhat dependent upon a knowledge of certain English social con- ditions. At no time does the mood of the auctence go beyond a broad emile or a ripple of laughter, but is kept in a con- tinual state of amusement, throughout. The play includes horsey characters, but there is no horse play. The plot is. replete with amusing complications, the cause of which the audience is familiar, of course, though the characters do not understand it all until the tinale. It ts altogether like- ly that last night's audience would agree :t had not witnessed a more pleasing com- edy this season.

FU SSEEE 'S,1427 N.Y.ave. though that fact is not obtruded upon the observer, partly by reason of Mr. Hare's own handling of the part he takes, and by the rrominence which the good acting of the ether players give to their parts. Mr. Hare represents Spencer Jermyn, an old gentleman, who is an ardent admirer of the national sport of horse racing, and who has a young wife, childiess herself and with an overweening desire to manage philanthropic institutions for the rearing of crphans. Mr. Jermyn is willing to con- cede something to his wife's philanthropic penchant, but insists that their philan- thropy shall be extended not to children, but to aged and infirm devotees of the sport of horse racing. Mrs. Jermyn de- cides to take a plunge into practical phil- anthropy, after her own ideas, without the knowledge of her husband, which she does in his absence from home. With this the trouble commences. She takes service as a lady's companion in the household of a young rector, poor and prospectless, but with a capacity for falling violently in love with Mrs. Jermyn, nevertheless. This naturally results later in a very embar- rassing complication for Mrs. Jermyn and also makes an unpleasant quarter of an hour for the young lady, a guest in her husband's house, whose name she as- sumes in her escapade. A very pretty love story is told by the progress of the young rector’s tender passion, and it seems a pity to mar it by the rude upsetting of his ideals, whick follows the discovery that Mrs. Jermyn wes already married and had been totally but unaccountably ignorant of the fact that she had been ermeshing his affections. The collapse of Mr. Jermyn’s scheme for philanthropy to- ward the impecunious worthies of the race track and the distressing termination ef his wife's efforts along her own lines leads to the happy determination of the one to desert the race track and pay more attention to his wife, and to the other to reserve her philanthropy for home con- sumption, in the wisdom of which conclu- sion the audience, which had been the wit- ness of all tRat had transpired, fully con- curred. As to those who took part in the play only the highest commendation of their efforts is in order. It is needless to tell Washington theater goers that Mr. John Hare is one of the most delightful come- dians upcn the stage. In the first Ame: can tour he established that reputation, which he now fully sustains. Mr. Hare's company, from the Garrick Theater, Lon- don, includes actors. whose several parts are so well taken that it would almost be invidious distinction to praise one above Last night about 10-20 o'clock an alarm of fire was turned in from box 131 because of a blaze seen in the chimney of house No. %0 F street northwest.

National Theater—The return of “Madame Sans Gene" at the New National Theater last evening was welcomed by a large audience, many of whom had pre- viously witnessed this admirable portrayal of the times of Napoleon. A review of the play at this late day is needless, as its suc- cessful two years’ tour of the country has made it familiar, especially its striking points, to even those who have not seen its stage presentation. Kathryn Kidder, the original “Madame Sans Gene,” is still the star of the company, and although two years’ continuous work in the same character should naturally rob the role of considerable attractiveness, her acting last night possessed all the subtle charms of the finished artiste, and a naturalness that only goes with conscientious effort. To one who has not previously seen Miss Kidder’s acting her impersonation in this great play of Sardou’s is a revelation. Several rew members have been added to the company since its last appearance in this city, but loses nothing through the substi- tutions. James Cooper, who takes Augus- tus Cook's place as “Napoleon,” gave a presentation that was no doubt :orrect as to details and pleasing as to characterizs- tion. Harold Russell, as “Lefebvre,” had the character that caught the house, both below and above stairs. As the lover of “Catherine” in the prologue, his sensa- tional work when demanding an entrance to the washer woman's room and dramatic climax upon coming out thereof called forth the greatest applause of the evaz ——_—_ Don't think of what your dollars com- manded last spring—I807 has broken the record in butter prices. 5-Ib. box finest pro- duced. $1.35.

At the second social of the Soldiers’ Union of the First Congregational Church, held last night, there was a large attend- ance of those who wore the blue thirty- five years ago.

Wallace Shaw, as “Fouche,” played an eccentric role with artistic finish, while the “De Neipperg” of Robert T. Haines was all that could be desired. The remainder of the cast was excellent in every part, and every one of the forty or more memb2rs of the company that had even the smallest part to perform seemed imbued with the idea of doing that part well. The company closes in this city next Saturday night for the season, and that presentation will movements about Lookout valley and mountain with great vividness and feeling. “Marching Through Georgia” and a new American “Star Spangled Banner” were rendered by the union choir, and refresh- ments served by the Ladies” Aid Society.

Academy of Music.— an old friend, tried and true, with Wash- ington theater-goers, and the .welcome it received on its return visit last evening at the Academy cf Music was worthy an old friend. Perhaps the largest audience of the season at that house was in evi- dence. when the curtain arose and the three-act panorama of mirth-provoking sit- uations was thoroughly enjoyed. It was the first time this sterling farcical comedy has been presented in Washington at pop- ular prices and the opportunity was eager- ly grasped. John Daly Murphy es Lord Fancourt Baberiy, who during the greater portion of the play is forced much against his will to represent ‘“‘Charley’s Aunt from Brazil, where the nuts come from,” bore the brunt of the work, his manner, ex- pression and voice meeting the require- ments of the character perfectly. John Lancaster as Charley and Arthur Lay as Jack Chesney, his chum, bore their trou- bles -with artistic excellence. Harry Lill- ford as Stephen Spettigue, the eccentric solicitor, proved himself a finished actor. 0. E. Hallam as “Jack's Father,” a jovial old chap, was immensely pleasing. The young ladies of the cast may be truth- fully referred to as exceptiorally pretty and decidedly talented. Miss Mary Church- i as Amy Spettigue and Miss Rose Hub- bard as Kitty Verdun, the girls in love with Jack and Charley, had the audience with them at all times. Miss Ethel Blande as the genuine Charley’s Aunt was digni- fied and discreet, while Miss Margaret Mayo as Ela Delahay, a petite little crea- ture, was irresistibly sweet. All in all, the company is an able one, the play has already become an established institution in this city, and therefore crowded houses oe assured during the remainder of the week. The Grand Opera House.—‘The Ups and Downs of Life,” by Mr. Oliver Byron, sup- ported by Kate Byron and a competent company of players, was presented at the Grand Opera House last night and scored a success. The play is in four acts, with Mr. Byron as Vivian Ransome, the hero, and Kate Byron as Jane Judkins, a domestic masquerading as Lady Elfrida. Ably as- sisting the Lady Elfrida is Lord Alfonso Mountsteadfast Smith (Fred Warren), and their work is really funny without effort on their part or on the part of the audi- ence. As second to Mr. Byron's serious work is Miss Magill as Alice, the strug- gling wife, and their work in the second act is astonishingly strong and good; that it was received with every testimony of ap- proval by the audience goes without say- ing. The comedy portion of the play never failed to make a vociferous hit. Miss Lou- ise Valentine as Lottie Gay did a catchy specialty in the fourth act. Naturally a play of such character must turn out well and this one dees. Features not exactly in the play, but part of it, are the scenery and effects, and they add much to situation and incident. For the Flood Sufferers.—An entertain- ment for the benefit of the Mississippi flood sufferers will be given tomorrow night at Confederate Veterans’ Hall, cor- ner 1lth and E streets northwest, under the direction of Miss Ollie Thompson. The program as made up includes some of the well-known entertainers of the musical and dramatic circles of Washington, and will be enjoyable in the extreme. Besides se- lections by the Metropolitan Mandolin Club and a male quartet, there will be contribu- tions by Miss Florence Henri King, violin- ist; Goldwin S. Patten, elocutionist; Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry, soprano; Master Robert Rafter, violinist; Miss Anita Hen- dree, monologuist; Miss Edna Bishop, so- prano; Miss Virginia Warrenton and Mrs. Mary 'S. Parker, pianists; Duncan Hay- wood, elocutionist, and Prof. F. A. Arilie, baritone. Besides these, there will be a scene from Dickens’ “Old Curiosity Shop,” entitled “Mrs. Quilp’s Tea Party,’ in which the following will take part: Jiniwin, Quilp’s mother-in-law, Edith Griffin; Mrs. George, Elizabeth M. Howell; Mrs. Quilp, Alice Jones; Daniel Quilp, Donald Wallace, and Mrs. Quilp's guests, Misses Bangs, Claxton, Coker and others. The Colored Y.M.C.A. Fair.—At the colorea Y. M. C. A. fair this evening there will be an amateur cake walk which will afford no end of fun. The judges have been selected from the military organizations, and are as follows: Captain Arthur Brooks, Capt. J. W. Dabney, Capt. H. E. Burgess, Lieut. Ed. L. Webster and Lieut. F. L. Dodson. The fun begins at 10 o'clock. Next week will be the jast week of the fair. It closes on Emancipation da Thursday evening of this week there will be an athletic ex- hibition by the young men’s class. German Dramatic Club.—The formal an- nouncement has been made of the annual benefit perfcrmance of the Deutsche Dra- matische Gesellschaft. This club gives monthly representations during the season, to which its friends receive free tickets of admission. Only on the occasion of the bene- fit evening is any charge made, and the amount then realized is usually sufficient to enable the club to continue its hospi- tality for another year.

Lewis and his Hayseed Band led a large audience to the Bijou Theater yesterday afternoon and kept them laughing and applauding the amusing adventures of “Si inkard” and his rustic associates for fully three hours. The evening audience was even larger and more enthusiastic. ‘‘Whistling Si” is a sort of comic cartoon of Uncle Josh Whitcomb as he might have appeared in his youthful days, and is a very amusing fellow in a droll, off-hand way that makes him seem more like the real thing than a stage farmer. Of course, he visits the city and has the customary adventures with bunco steerers, but the best scenes are on the farm, where a realistic threshing machine fori a novel and effective feature. Mr. Lewis’ support includes Sadie Hassen, who has lost none of her charm; Dan Mason, a funny Dutch comedian; Otey Shattuck, a tramp from Trampville; Frank Farrell, a funny character man, as well as a clever dancer; Will H. Snyder, Grace Whitney and Minnie Bernard. Already there are requests for a special concert by the ex- cellent band and orchestra carried by the “Si Plunkard” company. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—A_ crowded house greeted Weber's Olympia Burlesque at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater last night and thoroughly enjcyed an excellent per- formance. The first part is new and laughable and depicts a reception to Li Hunk Chunk. It shows a bevy of pretty, vivacious girls, headed by Lizzie Van, some funny comedians, who give some en- tirely new jokes and songs that were ap- preciated to the fullest extent last night. Some of the specialties, such as the news- paper ballet, the burlesque queens, the hayseeds and the new women, were ex- tremely well put on and capable of being run as bona fide specialties. In the list of special attractions were Udell and Pear. in a novel funny business and good songs Tenley and Simonds, the conventional Celts, who not @ly do a regular turn, but introduce good jokes and business in al- most every part of the performance; the Whitney Brothers, the novel and pleasing musical; the Burman Sisters, the hot ta- male girls, in an up-to-date turn, and Liz- zie Van, with a list of good songs. So well aid this latter feature take that she was forced to repeat some of her numbers three or four times before her large audienze would be satisfied. One of the features of the show is Paley’s kaletschnoscope, whicn threw some realistic pictures on the screen. The closing sketch is entitled “The Greas- er,” and brings forth the full strength of the company in a variety of songs and dances, emong which may be mentioned the John Good dance, one of the sensations of the show. ‘The Biograph.—Large and delighted au- dlences_were the rule of the exhibitions of the Biograph at Willard Hall yesterday afternoon and evening. There are now ex- hibited about fcrty pictures, half of them appearing yesterday for the first time. Among those which appeal. most strongly to the audience are the Niagara pictures, the Yale foot ball team, New England church scene (the people coming out after service), bayonet exercise, scene or Broad- way, New York, in a jam at the post otficc; the sausage factory and the drill of the famous 18th Regiment. This is one of the most popular pictures the Biograph pre- gents. The inaugural parade pictures, the flying trains.and their companions are also as interesting as ever to firat viewers.

The part of Princess Flovia, as portrayed by Miss Isabel Irving, is said to never have been in better hands, and the other parts are assumed by equally competent artists. The reputation of the play is so well known that it is a foregone conclusion that it will be accorded a hearty welcome. The best recommendation that can be effered for the production is that it is under the personal direction and management of Mr. Daniel Frohman. es If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

But little more than routine business was trarsacted at the regular monthly meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association last evening, the meeting being presided over by President J. W. Somerville. Gen- eral complaint was made respecting the failure to repair and keep in repair the streets of the village, and the proper com- mittee was instructed to request the Dis- trict authorities to promptly act in the matter. Another matter complained of was the delay of the United States Supreme Court in disposing of the street extension cases. Mr. “Nixon remarked that the people of the whole District are interested in the matter, and every day the decision is de- layed works, he said, great hardship upon them. President Somerville remarked that nothing can be done until the court ren- ders its decision, but when it does, pro- vidirg the law 1s sustained, then the prop-r authorities will undoubtedly be calle@ upon to proceed in the matter at once. The committee on schools was directed] to have the well of the village school ex- amined and the pump repaired, and the committee on streets and sidewalks was instructed to ask the District Commission- ers to at once grade and gravel Cefiter street from Howard avenue to 14th’ street road, and repair in a like manner 16th street_from Park northward, School strest from Park to its further end, Grant from 15th to 16th, and: Sheridan avenue from 14th to 16t The committee was also requested to ascertain the cost of a side- walk on Center street. The proper committees were directed to ask for additional lamps on 16th and 17th streets north of Howerd avenue, to as- certain if a permit has been given for gracing Sheridan avenue near 16th street, to call the attention of the authorities to the charge that cigarettes are being sold in the village to school children, and to ask that a sewer be laid on Meridian avenue.
