She fs 2 Washington lady, who has previ- ously distinguished herself, chiefly by writ- tog “Little Lord Fauntleroy.” Mr. Daniel Frohman, who has in the past produced gcod plays, added some prestige to the cecasion by appearing as sponsor for the new drama, and the cast included several people who have established themselves as favorites. The play is much like a roman- tic drama which has been given an over- dose of soothing sirup. Some of the males are naughty and some of the females bold, Lut it is all harmless as can be, It is about a poet, who insists on writing things which nobody reads and who discovers that the Prince ef Weles ts 2 dishonorahte rival for the hard of the girl whom he loves and who loves him in spite of the fact that be owes room rent and her parents need the money. Discrepancies are tolerated in the drama, but not unless the playwriter arouses the interest of the auditor to a de- gree which prevents his observing ‘them. ‘There is so much ume allowed, for extra- neous contemplation in the piét of “The First Gentleman of Europe” -that the rude thought constantly asserts Stself that the peet, if he had been a person of proper spirli, would have gone out and looked for work instead of practi¢ing elocution. Such thoughts are gross and uncomfortable, and Mrs. Burnett should, ‘@#/a matter of phil- anthropy, hurry the action ff possible, so as to prevent them. The play is a series of pretty picture , the brilliant costumes lend- ing a constant ‘and potent attraction even to scenes which are lacking in dramatic interest. The most vigorous and human characteri- zation of the play was that of Charles Wal- cot as the irascible parent. It is a melan- choly fact that objurgation will arouse in- terest where attempts at elegant diction fail, znd he was permitted to indulge in a number of expletives, and he delivered them with an energy that was most reviv- ing. Mr. Jas. K. Hackett bore himself like the gcod actor he unquestionably is, in the part of the Prince of Wales, and Miss Marie Shotwell played the role of the court beauty effectively. Miss Mary Mannering had a part which fs nearly always thank- less—that of a soulful unsophisticated girl. Mr. Edward Morgan as the impecunious author labored conscientiously and well. Mr. Felix Morris was in this piece as he is in everything, capable and intelligent, but his pathos seemed rather rugged and angu- lar. The mora! of the play seems to be that members of the nobility may have good im- rulses now and then if you know where to jook for them. The climaxes depend too much for their force on the extreme dis- tinction which the slightest notice from royalty is supposed to confer. While, as a matter of fact, the princely nod is a thing of tremendous significance, the American public has not been educated to understand the beauties of abject devotion to a royal scapegrace. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—“A Trip to Chinatown” ts considered by many theater- gvers as the most entertaining of all the musical farces from the pen of Hoyt. It has been preserted here time and again during the past few years, but, notwith- standing its frequent coming, it received a veritable ovation last evening at the Acad- emy of Music, where it opened for another engagement. The bduse might be said to have been crowded, and a more enthusias- tic and appreciative audience could hardly be imagined. Miss Laura Bigger as the widow, and Mr. Burt Haverly as Welland Strong, a man with one foot in the grave, carried off the honors, and as Reuben and Cynthia made 4 great hit, being forced to respond to repeated and determined en- cores. They were also well received in an Engiish cockney specialty. Miss Bigger made a particularly handsome young widow and sang well, while as a comedian Mr. Haverly stands the front rank. He had the stage to himself for five minutes in the second act, and managed to keep the audience almost convulsed with laugh- ter during that period. Miss Rose+Suth- erland os Flirt, the widow's maid, proved herself an exceptionally artistic | dancer, and in every other way was bright and at tractive. As Willie Grow, a glided youth, Miss Jeanette Lilford was as dainty as could be desired, and she also danced and sang well. For their excellent voices and the manner in which they used them Miss Maude Bagley .as Isabelle. Dame, Miss Belle Chamberlain as Tony Gay, Mr. Rich- ard Kari as Rashleigh Gay, and Mr. Gus. P. Thomas as Norman Biood deserve special commendation, Mr. John P. Brawn exe- cuted some clever whistiing, and had to keep it up pn demand. The others in the cast, fully up to the standard, were M Ernest Helton as Ben Gay, the ‘wealt bacheler, who gees out for a lark; Mr. Benjamin LeMfler as Hoffman Price, the hotel manager, and Mr. John P. Brown as in Payne, the devoted servant of Ben The musical portion of the presenta- tion was under the direction of Mr. Joseph F. Nathan, and was part icularly pleasing. In addition to the familiar “On the Bo ery,” “The Widow,” “Out for a Record. “One of the Boys,” “Crisp Young Chap- eron,” and “Reuben and Cynthia,” there were a large number of and it may be said here that this is the be. ginning of the end of this most interesting exhibition. The new pictures have proved remarkably popular,notably the pillow fight by the children and the wonderful picture of action as displayed in the horscless fire engine going to a fire. Notwithstanding the success of the pictures now on exhib! tion others will be added tomorrow. An- other feature just introduced is making the afternoon entertainment free for orphan irstitutions in the city. All that Is neces- sery for those in charge of such institutions is to name a day, so as not to conflict with ethers. HANDEL AND HIS ORATORIOS.—To- night at the Church of Our Father Mi Elizabeth Chenowith Sloan will deliver lecture upon “Handel and His Oratorios, which will be beautifully illustrated by lantern slides, and she will be musically as- sisted by some of the best local artists. Those who will participate in the musical numbers are Mr. Ernest Lent, Mr. D. G. I'feiffer, Mr. H. Ciough-Leiter, Mr. Herman Rakemann, Mrs. Hempstone, contralto, and Miss C. Hall, soprano, MISS MASON’S RECITAL.—The music: recital of Myrta Lura Mason at the Was! ington Club, 1710 I street, yesterday after- noon was an cccasion of unusual interest to the distinguished audience present. Miss Mason's rendition of native songs in the original called forth much applause. Among others she sang a Turkish lullaby, a Ha- Watian ballad, a Swedish ballad and a Fiji song. Another recital will be given this afternoon at 4:15 o'clock. LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. The Castle Square Opera Company reached last night the beginning of the second week of its summer season at the Lefayette Square in the “The Queen's Lace Hand- kerchief.” a Strauss opera which some people admire and some do not, though after the performance last night those who admired were in the majority. This opera may lagk in melodies popularity, both with singers and with audiences, but Strauss did no bad. work, except as in ccmparison with his own efforts, so that the “Lace Handkerchiaf" is worthy of all con- sideration. The cast last night was strong, and some of the individual parts particu. larly so. Izzie Macnichol scored an un- deniable hit as the teisg,-arid in the last hen She interpolated Tosti's “Good she fairly surprised her auditors and received an ovation. Miss Josephine Knapp, whose attractive personality is always sat- isfying in any part, was a charming Irene, and Miss Warden, who did the queen at twenty-fours’ notice, is to be congratulated on not doing it well, but as neurly well as she did on so short notice. Cervantes, the queen’s reader, by Tom Persse, was gracefully presented in acting and ‘song, and the two comedians, Arthur Wooley and Frank Hitchcock, who is new to us, made as much fun as anybody could have done. The chorus was in splendid shave and the finale to the second act was given with such a volume of tone and with such perfect precision and spirit that it had to be repeated.“ The costuming of the opera was rich and the stage setting elaborate. THE NATIONAL.—“Pudd'nhead Wilson” Was the play at the National last night, and Pudd'nhead Wilson was the feature of the play, for growing out of Mark Twain's spirit and put into being by Frank Mayo's dramatization, it is one of the great char- acter parts of this day. On. other occa- sions the character's sculptor, Mayo, was the Pudd’nhead whom all knew and loved, but now that he has gone to a stage higher, there is another Pudd’nhead, Mr. Theodore Hamilton, and whatever Mayo may have been, surely-no one who has seen Ha.aliton would want him to be other than he is He might’ be‘ different; he could not be any better. As to the play a a i RT ae A i a at a aE IR ES | POOd intensely absorbed on word and action and situation now as when it was all new and people vere experiencing what seemed to be a new emotion. There may be at times what could b alled misplaced levity, something farcical where at leart less cf it would seem to be more appropriate, and still the people of the play were of that sind, and their natural seriousness Is rather funny than otherwise. 1t may be question- ed, too, if the men of Missouri dressed as late as 1850 quite as they do in the play, and if a “nigger,” however white, was re- celved in such an equal way a3 Miss Rowy, So pretty and fair-skinned a girl, receivei the boy Chambers. But let that pass. The play's the thing, and it is a great play, well played by everybody, and especially true to life in dress, manne: and speech Was the character of the Widow Mason by Miss Lucilie Laverne, Tom Driscoli, a mean and difficult part, was admirably taken by Frank Campau. “BEN HUR."—A crowded house greeted Rev. Dr. Rogers last evening at the Church of Our Father as he appeared in the sixty- second production of the famous illustrated story of “Ben Hur,” the drawing power of which seems inexhaustible. The doctor was at his best in his vivid representation of the thrilling scenes of this wonderful drama, and the audience listened with in- tense interest. The effect of the recital was greatly enhanced by the rendition of the solos, ‘‘He Leadeth Me” and “Calvary,” by Mrs. J. T. Exnicius, and ‘There is Sunshine in My Soul” and “Saved by Grace,” by Miss Alice Chandler. .BIJOU THEATER.—The Chicago All-star Vaudeville Company opened at the Bijou yesterday, and proved an agreeable variety after the season of melodrama and farce. The company gives a clean performance, one that ladies and children will enjoy, especially, as juvenile performers figure Prominently on the program. Master Paul Brady proved himself a pleasing singer and a clever character impersonator, while little Miss Nole is a promising soubrette and dancer; but the climax was reached by Baby Ethel Marsh, whose sweet songs won not only a tribute of applause, but several enthusiasts in the audience-showered small change on her until she had a handful. She is the youngest member of the talented Marsh family, whose vocal numbers are features of the program. Others on the bill are Sim Slichter, who plays all sorts of instruments, and works wonders with the common mouth organ; Miss Vivian Wood, veealist and male impersonator; Robzart, the double-voiced vocalist; Morton an: Nole, duetists and dancers, and Professor Cogan, the equilibrist. Harry Woodthorpe ard Mamie Floyd have an amusing sketch, entitled “In the Wrong Place,” and the performance closes with Mr. Woodthorne's farce, “Turning the Tables.” Next week comes Dan McCarthy, the Irish comedian, supported by Jas. W. Rea- gan and a select company in “The Dear Irish Home,” and May 2) Manager White- sell will tender a testimonial benefit to his efficient assistants, A. V. McKee and A. S. Wilson. KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—The Biack Crook Burleque Company pleased a large audience at Kernan's last night. ‘This is the first appearance of this organization, and it created a most favorable impression. Not only ure the burlesquers entertaining, but the olio is excellent, and the electrical effect dazzling. The performance opens with a spectacular burlesque, entitled “The Palace in the Moon.” The curtain go up on a dazzling scene of beauty, supposed to be a section of the moon. Various col- ored electric lights increase the effect, but not so much #s the score of Dretty and shapely maidens. The advent of a flying machine startles the goddesses of the moon and introduces the two comedians who keep things lively for twenty minutes. Then comes the olfo, introducing .Gibson and Donnelly, a black face team of ‘ability: Emerson and Omega, in a dialect sketch. entitled “Don't Notice It; Dollie Daven: port, a favorite songstress; Moreland, ersketches, andBulalie is as graceful as a fawn in her tersichorean 5: falty. The as a fawn in her terpicorean pecialty. The performance ends with a roaring burlesque, entitled “The Yellow Kid of Hogan's Aliey at Vassar College,” and introduces among other specialties a scene from the erst. while famous Seeley dinner in New York. CHORAL SOCIETY IN “ARMINIUS."— The last concert of the oratorio sea- son will be Bruch’s great martial work, “Arminius,” which will be presented by the Choral Society next Tuesday and Wednerday- evenings at the First Congre gaticnal Church, corner of 10th and G streets. For this concert the soloists an- nourced are the most distinguished singers that the Choral Society has brougit to this city in several years, notably so in the case of Mr. Max Heinrich, the baritone, who is known to every music lover in this coun- try. Mr. Heinrich is a thorough musician, an accomplished pianist and a versatile artist. His song recitals, when he always accompanies himself at the piano, have made him famous, and his programs at these recitals will frequent! include the tenderest of English and Welsh love bal- lads and the most ponderous of Wagnerian numbers. His voice is a true baritone of great compass and exquisite quality, and his phrasing is admirably pure and musi- cal. Miss Mary Louise Clary, who is cn- gaged to sing the role of the priestess, is regarded as the foremost contralto | in America today. Miss Clary was engaged by the Choral Society two years ago to aie the role of Delilah in Samson and De- ila the failure of the society to give that In every case of Consumption Booth's Air” HYOMEI," the Australian “Dry- treatment, relieves and benefits.
