THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1897-24 PAGES, New National Theater.—Washington was one of the first cities in the country to see Edward W. Townsend's unique study of New York life and character, “Chimmie Fadden.” The plece came here early last fall after having made a remarkable run of five consecutive months in New York city. It was at first feared that Its strong local color would militate against its suc- cess outside of the metropolis, but first Baltimore and then Washington pro- nounced favorably upon it and received it with great warmth. the Subsequently the piece larg prican cities and t success everywhere. While ins an interesting story and a well-sustained plot, its in the strongly drawn and eters which it Introduces. Charles Hopper, as “Chimmie Fadden, has given to the stage a new and original type of the American street boy; Marie Bates’ interpretation of the role of the pibulous Mrs. Murphy ranks with the most artis character studies of the time; while the “Mr. Paul” of George Nash ts a perfect representation of the nonchalant, ennuied society man of the day. The entire original cast returns here, and the piece will be given with all the special scenery and effects. The engagement will begin on next Monday evening at the New National Theater. Columbia Theater.—After much anticipa- tion, due in a measure to inspiring prom- fses'cn the part of the management, “The Prisoner of Zenda” will be seen at the Columbia Theater Monday night, played by Daniel Frohman’s special company, with a leading man, new here, Mr. How- ard Gould; Miss Isabel Irving, who fs a favorite already, and ether popular mem- bers of the popular organization. There is little need to be told about the play. ‘The rage of the book and the remarkable success of the play have made all the de- tails so entertaining that people who have visited all met with g the play con fs supplied with chief beauty lie true-to-life char not already seen it are familiar with the charming story. It will be worth while, however, to note thai there is a prologue to the play, wh is not the same as_ the book, although !t merely acts something ‘which relevant to the story, which takes place in 1894, about 161 years later. The interesting stury, the variety of in- cident, the strong contrasts of character, the tone of suspense, the touches of hu- mor and sentiment, the romantic atmos phere, and the fine age effects that are skillfully conjoined in the drama, invest it with a most attractive quality, which will, ro doubt, quite justify the manager's hopeful expectations, and give genuine pleasure to the many admirers of roman Hewerd Gould, in the double role of King Rudolf and Rudolf Rassenddel, the cousin, furnishes the central figure, and around him moves one of the most charming ro- mances of the day. His lightning change of stage identity in the first act, from the king to his cousin is said to be the most remarkable of any who has assum part, and he plays the role in a hig ished and convincing manne: Lafayette Square Opera Hou!

Old Brander gets on amaz- ingly in the role ef Congressman, and avoids fatal shooting scrapes, while he is initiated into the ways of statecraft by Brassy “Gali, an accomplisked and utterly unpriacipled lobbyist. Grand Opera House.—In connection with the approaching engagement of that sen- @ational drama, “Jim the Penman,” to be woduced at the Grand Opera House next day night, it has on many occa- gions been criticised as highly improbable and in some respects impossible of occur- rence. In refutation of this unjust criti- cism a@ story was printed in @ New York paper of ¢ real Mr. Ralston that bears a strong resemblance to the “Jim the Pen- man” of Sir Charles Young's character, notwithstanding the old story that truth is stranger than fiction. It told of a lawyer named Waldorf H. Philliss who was en- gaged by an Englishmen named James W. Marshall to look after certain property he owned in America and subsequently to ascertain the whereabouts and condition of John 8. Giebert and wife, who left Eng- land a few weeks after their marriage. Mr. Phillips learned that Glebert was dead and on his death bed confessed to his wife that he had forged a letter purporting to come from Marshall, to whom she was en- waged to be married, breaking off the en- gagement. He had also forged her name to a letter of a similar nature, which he sent to Marshall. Giebert was an expert penman, and so cleverly imitated the hand- writing of both Marshall and Miss Nelson that neither had any doubt of the au- thenticity of the letters. The play will be produced with an excellent company and will no doubt attract large audiences. Kernan’s Lyceum Theate-.—Prominent among the higher class of burlesque or- ganizations touring the country is the famous Rentz-Santley Company, which wil! be the attraction at Kernan’s next week. Year after year Mr. Abe Leavitt has co! trived to please the admirers of his com- pany, as well as the general public, and this season he promises the best entertain ment he has ever presented. Nothing has been spared to make the appearance of this organization a feast for the eye as well as the ear. The costumes worn by the ladies are rich and elegant, the scenery artistic and specialties, first part and bur- lesque are new, sensational and up-to-date. A new series of living pictures, reproduc- tions of artistic paintings, will also be one of the features. The olio, which is an exceedingly good one, is composed of Joseph J. Sullivan, the well-known pro- ducer of fun; the Elinor Sisters, eccentric comedy artisis; Dawley and Waldron, de- scriptive singers; Fisher and Crowell, com- edy sketch artists; the Engstrom Sisters, singers and dancers, and Curtis and Go! den, in a ccmedy sketch, introducing Miss Gorden’s remarkable scientific bag punch- ing. The closing feature will be a sensa- tional buriesque entitled. “Silly’s Dinner, introducing Tyrene ard Evaline in their sensational dances. There will be mati- nees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Bijou Theaier.—There will be no perform- ance at the Bijou Theater next week, Man- ager Whitesell having persuaded Miss Stan- iford’s manager to cancel on acocunt of its being Holy Week. Scusa.Sousa, the peerless conductor, with his admirable forces, who gives one concert at the Lafayette tomorrow (Sun- day) night, is now engaged upon the most ambitious tour ever undertaken by a musi- sical organization. It covers a_ territory of over 21,000 miles, includes 196 towns and cities, a series of 280 consecutive con- certs, and a period of 169 days. To estab- lish this record is simply astonishing, and yet with it all it 1s small wonder that the band’s playing is in itself the very essence of pertection. The men are trained to their work as finely as any athlete was ever pre- pared for contest. They are encouraged and buoyed by that most inspiring of all tonics—the emphatic and enthusiastic measure of public approval, and they have reduced the science of rapid travel to the finest point. On his present tour Sousa 1s nting programs of an entirely unique acter. T number in their selec- tion the choic works of his extensive library.

It the same gathering of ar- ¢ and patronage of cultured the Grand Opera ed the pres Boston and crowded House, Philadelphia, for the past year, under the manegement of Charles M. Southwell. The company will give the standard grand and comie operas in a manner that will surpass the best produc- tions seen here in recent years. The works will ali be magnificently costumed and handsomely staged, and the singers will embrace men and women who have won their merits as artists.

Fifth Metropolitan Concert.—The fifth and cencluding concert of the Metropolitan series takes place next Wednesday after- noon at the Columbia, and the announce- ment that the soloists are Mr. David Bisp- ham, baritone, of the Metropolitan Opera Company, and Mr. Charles Gregorowitsch, the eminent young violinist, should insure a brilliant house for the concluding concert of this artistic series. Mr. Bispham is a well known favorite before the musical public, and his reputation as an artist in opera and concert is widely known on both sides of the water. Of the violinist Gregoro- witsch ft may be said. he came to this coun- try early in the season unknown and play- ed with the American Symphony Orchestra in Chickering Hall, New York. His success was instantaneous, and the young violinist has been in demand upon all occasions in the metropolis as well as in the east and west The Crystal Maze.—Each week that goes by increases the popularity of the Crystal Maze, situated at 427 7th street northwest. Ea h evening there ts a laughing, fun- s*cking crowd in attendance, and it is yet wo be recorded that any one has left the maze feeling that he or she had not re- ceived the full worth of the sum expend- ed in admission. Everything in the laby- rinths, formed by the deceptive mirrors, is so changed and so different from that which the uninitiated spector expects that funny situations and comical errors on the part of the explorers of the mysteries be- hind the Japanese bead curtains are of almost momentary occurrence. The maze will cuntinue next week, but its engage- ment in this city is fast drawing to a close, and those who have not seen the mystery should take advantage of the short time remaining. The Vitascope.—The Edison vitascope is continuing to please and entertain many hundreds of persons at Vitescope Hall, ad- joining the Columbia Theater. The pic- tures shown include a great Civersity of subjects, and illustrate to a high legree the efficiency of the vitascope as a por- trayer of life motion. The pictures are clear and distinct and the machine itself is handled by experts, wro know just how to obtain the very best results. The vita- scope will continue all next week with ex- hibitions at the usual hours.

The Biograph.—The blograph, under the handsome and efficient Col. Jay Durham, will continue another week at Willard Hall, giving exhibitions at the same hours as sual. There have been many new views added to the list of pictures shown by the biograph in the last week or two, and, as it stands today, it presents probably the most complete collection of moving photo- graphs that have been collected in this country. In all, there are about forty views shown, comprising almost every va- riety of picture in which life and motion are the prime characteristics. The bio- graph has given several benefit exhibitions during the past week, by. which churches and charitable organizations have been rendered valuable assistance, and Col. Dur- ham proposes to continue the good work as far as possible in the short remaining time the biograph will be before the public of Washington. CENTER MARK RKET BALL.

Teresa Carreno’s piano recital at the Columbia Theater yesterday afternoon served to craw a large audience to that play house. Mme. Carreno was heard here with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and her work at that time, after an absence of some years from the concert stage, was. listened to wiih feelings of the greatest pleasure. Her work yesterday afternoon justified all expectations that were raised by her limit- ed performance at that time, and by the announcement of a return engagement, in which she would be seen at her best. She was greeted with a storm of applause upon her appearance upon the stage, and throughout every number she held her large audience spellbound by the mag- retism of her touch, her masterly technique and the limitless expression which she put into every portion of her work. The audi- ence was made up mostly of true music lovers, and the applause which she earned was bestowed by those who knew whag her splendid capabilities really were. Her numbers included Bach's ‘“Fantasie—Chro- matique and Fugue’ (Bulow's edition); Beethoven's Sonata in C sharp, minor, four movements; two preludes, B flat and G flat, a nocturne in G minor, an etude in G flat, and the polonaise in A flat, by Chopin; Schubert's “Impromptu,” No. 2; the Schu- bert-Liszt arrangement of “Soiree de Vi- enne the Paganini-Liszt arrangement of ‘La Campanella,” an etude; Liszt’s Hun- garian Rhapsodie, No. 6, and Liszt's ‘‘So- neto del Petrarca.” Every number was greeted with hearty applause,and, although a good many of then are familiar to all musicians, her work did not suifer by com- parisons with famous artists who have been heard here in them. Mme. Carreno’s musical triumph was assured fron the very outset, and each moment that was added to the impression she made upon her audience only served to heighten the intensity with which her work was followed.
