EVENING STAR BUREAU, No. 520 King street, Bell Telephone, No..106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 5, 1897. The Opera House was packed to the doors again last night by an immense audienc who had come to hear the second presenta- lion of the comic opera, Pinafore, by local talent for the benefit of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, and the entertainment was the same unqualified success as the perform- ance of the night before. Too much can- not be said in praise of each and every member of the cast, and it is not stretching a point to say that the presentation would have done credit to professionals. Misses Mai Greenwell, as Josephine, and Sara Rathbone, as Cousin Hebe, could not have been exeelled. Miss Greenwell has a style that eminently fits her for the role, and her musical education has brought out an unusual technique, which, with a charm- ing personaiity, together with an almost perfect interpretation of the part, won the hearts of the entire audience. Whenever she made her appearance on the stage she received encore after encore. Miss Rathbone’s conception of Cousin Hebe was all that could have been desired by the most critical, and but one word, and tion. She looked the picture of loveliness as she, in a catchy way, made love to Sir Joseph, and “all the boys” would have gladiy exehanged places with him. Mrs. Hollifield of Washington was an ideal “Little Buttercup,” and she fairly shone with wit and humor and deserved all the encores she .got. Mr. George H. Evans, as “Sir Joseph Por- ter, K. C. B.,” played his part as if he wads at home in it, and played it well, while Messre. Bryant and Chas. Moore made decided hits during the evening. The chorus was one of the best ever gotten to- gether in this city. As has been sald, it was well balanced, and all sang with a ee seldom heard off the professional stage. To Prof. McLeod of Washington, who was untiring in his efforts in training the participants. more than an ordinary amount of credit is due, for he certainly was successful in his choice of material. Mrs. M. W. O'Brien and Mrs. T. Marshall Jones also did a great deal to add to the success. Alexandrians hope that at an early date the entertainment will be repeated for the Same worthy cause. Police Court. In the police court this morning Mayor Thompson disposed of the following cases: Jchn Noland, assauit on Albert Shoem with a pistol; fined $20.

Ernest, Edward and Christina Ruppert, through their attorneys, Messrs. Leon To- briner and A. S$.

Attached to it was a codicil made two days before he died After providing for certain be- quests to his wife, children and relatives the testator devised the sum of $50,000 for the purpose of founding a home for the aged. The caveators, in withdrawing their caveat, state that it has been found that there {s no personal property, other than 4s required to pay the debts of the estate, and the Frobate Court has jurisdiction over personal property only. The contest may be resumed by the filing of suits in ejectment. — Marriage Licenses. Meenses have been issued to the following: White—George W. Cornwall and June E. Hall; Wm. H.

THE CHORAL SOCIETY IN “ARMIN- TUS."—The customary large representation of the lovers of oratorio music were pres- ent last evening at the Congregational Church to hear Max Bruch’s. “Arminius,” produced by the Washington Choral So- ciety, and they were afforded a rare treat. This secular oratorio portrays the uprising of the German tribes against Roman op- pression at about the beginning of the Christian era, and the complete annihila- tion of Varus and his Roman hosts by Herrman or Arminius, the chief of the Cheruseans, who had assembled all the north German tribes in the Teutoburger forest. The music of the oratorio may be characterized as grand and appropriate, and was interpreted by the Choral Society and its soloists in the usual faultless man- ner which made the organization famous ere this. The choruses, under the efficient conductorship of Prof. Kaspar, were far above criticism. Aecustomed, as the peo- ple of Washington are to the well-nigh perfect rendition of choral music by this society, the unstinted applause bestowed last evening seemed to demonstrate clearly that in the opinion of the audience the so- ciety had surpassed itself. Miss Mary Louise Clary, the contralto soloist, sang the part of the Priestess with great power and perfect technique. She has a voice of great range and beauty, which in the higher notes resembles a soprano. Mr. Max Heinrich, the baritone, created a perfect furore with his magnificent voice and by the easy confidence with which he render- ed the part of Arminius. Mr. E. C. Towne, the tenor soloist, sang the part of Sieg- mund in a very satisfactory manner, his voice pleasing the audience by its swect- ness and lyric quality. In the impassioned passages he sang with great spirit and ef- fect, and, in fact, in all his work he shcwed the finished artist. Judging from the way he manipulated the organ, both with skill and spirit, it would seem that no better ac- companist than Mr. John Porter Lawrence could have been secured. He supported the chorus magnificently from beginning to end. Those of the musical enthusiasts of ‘Washington who were not present last evening will have an opportunity this even- ing at the Congregational Church of hear- ing “Arminius” sung. “ERMNIE.” — Jacobowski's __‘Erminie, always a favorite in this city, will be do bly welcome at the Lafayette Square Op- era House next week, because of its in- terpretation by the Castle Square Opera Company, who have already ingratiaied themselves into the good graces of Wash- ingtonians by reason of their merit and general excellence: while the beauiiful in- mountings and incidentals, too often ne- glected, but so carefully added to the pre- sentations at this house, reflect most cred- itably upon this management. The cast for “Erminie” will be chosen with a view to the best resulis, and the scen'~ equip- ment will be superb, the pink ball room scene being a particularly handsome piece of stage work. Everything that can tend to make the entire production a success will be at hand. Lyrically “Erminie” con- tains many gems, the most familiar being the famous “Lullab: We,” “All for Glory, the’ “Good Night” chorus, “What the Dickey Birds Say,” and many others. There is a very pretty gavotte in- the funny troduced by the entire company that is very charming to both eye and ear. The prices are within the reach of all, 25, 50 and 7 cents for reserved seats at the evenings, and for the matinees, entire lower floor, 50 cents, and entire balcony, 25 cents. Don’t forget the “rose’’ matinec Wednesday, when each lady in attendance will be presented with a Beautiful speci- men of the florists’ art in the shape of a choice cut rose. Seats may now be se-" cured. STUART ROBSON.—Next Monday Stu- art Robson will begin a week's engage- ment at the National Theater, in the Juck- lins, by Daniel L. Hart, founded on Opie Read's latest novel of the same name. The part is unlike any Mr. Robson has ever presented to Washington theater go- ers; from the dress coat to the garments of the farmer is a great change, but one that has offered Mr. Robson ample opportunity to disptay his well-known versatility. Lem Jucklin, the part portrayed by Mr. Robson, is a North Carolina farmer, very religiou with a penchant for fighting game roosters. In the hour of trouble he seeks consolation by fighting his game cocks. The “Jucklins,” for its wholesome humor and pure tone, has been likened to the “Old Homestead,” and is said to justify the prediction that it bids fair to become a companion play to this well-known success. The sale of seats will commence tomorrow morning. THE LOST PARADISE.—The summer season will open at the Academy next Mon- day night, on which occasion the Cummings Stock Company will make its initial bow to a Washington audience. The play selected for the opening week is H. C. De Mille’s great work, “The Lost Faradise.” “Tie Lost Paradise’ is a remarkably strong play, and, while it has a romantic story for its main theme, it deals, in a wholly inter- esting manner, with one of the vital issues of the day--the question of capital vs. labor. The author has not placed himself in the position of offering offense by an attempted solution of the problem, but has handled the question earnestly and in a way to cause both employer and employe to do a little just thinking. No play yet written by a native playwright carries its dramatic in- terest so absorbingly to climaxes as ‘The Lost Paradise,” and in no other American play is the potentiality of words more ef- fective. During the engagement of the Cummings Stock Company summer prices will prevail—25 and 50 cents for reserved seats; boxes seating six $3, and 25 cents general admission. BLACK PATTI'S TROUBADOURS.—A genuine festival of mirth and melody will be offered by Black Patti's Troubadours on the occasion of théir performance next Week at the Grand Opera House. There are fifty people in the company, which in- cludes Black Patti, who is unquestionably one of the greatest singers this generation has heard; Hen Wise, Anthony Byrd, Bob Coles and Stella Wiley, deisartean dancers; Billy Johnson, descriptive vocalist; Goggins and Davis, knock-about acrobats; DeWolfe Sisters, duetists; Master Rastus, the cham- pion buck dancer, and others. In addition there is a well-trained chorus of thirty voices, and a march and ballet contingent of twenty. The first hour and a half of the evening is devoted to the comedy and spec- tacular forces, in which is introduced the most novel and merriest skit of the times, called “At Jolly Coney Island.” In this skit Ife at the “Bowery” of this famous resort is pictured trué to life, and the Scene has been reproduced on canvas by the famous artist, Harley Merry, from sketches taken on the occasion of a mid- summer night revel, which the company faithfully and humorously illustrates. This affords a splendid vehicle for the come- dians and specialty performers to disport thelr diversified talents. The skit is a med- ley of bright sayings, and up-to-date songs and dances, in which ‘the “coon song” and “buck dances,” the “bicycle girl” and the “con man with the glad hand” are promi- nent features. The vaudeville olio, which follows is made up of varied and startling acts, and this is followed by the sensation: al operatic kaleidoscope which has made a» tremendous success wherever the com- pany has appeared. It is in this part of the entertainment where the company gives evidence of its superiority. Such solo and ensemble operatic singing as rendered by" Black Patti and her fifty troubadors has been rarely equaled by the most pretentious grand opera companies. The operatict kal- eldoscope only lasts about 30 minutes, and LEMON CAKE. By Maria Parloa. Beat the butter to a cream, and gradually beat into it the sugar and then the lemon rind and juice.

Theyz;were made by Hermann, the great London costumer, formerly with Sir Henry Irving. “THE CITY SPORTS.”—The attraction at Kernan’s Lyceurrnext week will be Flynn and Sheridan’s City Sport Big Burleque Company. This‘‘organization contains all of the essentials necessary to a successful vaudeville and burleque company. The City Sports have been‘here before, but the only old and familiar remnant of the City Sports’ past ‘success is the title, which could not very well be altered or disposed of. The company of today is new, bright and up-to-date in every particular; every artist in the. olio of specialties is a dis- tinetive feature, each and every ‘one con- tributing some novel or sensational saying, dance or performance. A prominent fea- ture of the bill ‘will be the first appear- ance in this city of Mile. Meza, the Mcxi- can female contortionist. This lady's per- formance is cited as being remarkable in every instance. Two new burlesques will be presented, replete with all of the neces- sary adjuncts of modern burlesque. The Management will also introduce the latest animated picture machine, under the title of the cintematoscope. HUBERMAN, THE VIOLINIST.—Bron- islaw Huberman’s genius has astonished us all. It certainly has the aspect of a mir- acle that so youthful an artist should be so great—should command a tone so ma- jestic, a technique so flawless, a musical insight so penetrating. There is probably no more difficult number for a violin than Brahm’s concerto; it seems as though it had been composed against rather than for a violin. It reaches, as one might say, Alpine altitudes; yet Huberman scaled these all but inaccessible heights without a mis- step and there plucked the Edelweiss in dizzy ecstacy! After this grandiose per- formance all else was a mere bagatelle for this artist, and his recitals aroused such storms of applause that he was compelled to respond again and again to their de- mand for additional numbers. Huberman played the immensely difficult concerto of Wieniawski and the same composer's “Faust Fantasie’ in the most faultless manner. Anticipating, as one always does, something more extraordinary, one is never disappointed, for each new performance of this artistic marvel transcends the one pre- ceding. He will give his farewell concert Sunday evening at the Columbia. THE MADR#DS' CONCERT.—Final re- hearsals of the Madrids’ Grand Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Orchestra will take place tonight and Saturday night, 7:30 o'clock, at Confederate Veterans’ Hall, 431 11th street northwest.This orchestra is the largest of its kind in the world. In addition to this feature, the Madrids will be assisted by Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff, Herman C. Rakemann, W. V. Price, the Burnt Cork Club, the Carroll Institute Orchestra, Miss Pauline Bliss, pupils of “Caruana,” John ‘Tweedale, pupils of Miss Minnie Hawke. W. H. Conley and Leo Wheat. There will also be a farcial comedy by members of the Carroll Institute Dramatic Club. CANTATA OF “RUTH.”—J.Astor Broad’s cantata of “Ruth” will be reproduced at Odd Fellows’ Hall, 7th street northwest Le- tween D and E streets, this evening. It Was given Monday evening at the Marble Hall, Soldiers’ Home, when it excited much favorable comment. The performance this evening, of course, will he even better than that given Monday evening on account of both chorus and principals being more fa- millar with the music. The chorus consists of fifty trained voices and is under the di- rection of Migs Lulu Facius. The concert is given undér ithe auspices of the First Reformed Church, 6th and N streets north- west. THE LAST. D. YS OF POMPEIL—Rev. Howard Wilber Ennis will give a dramatic recital on Bulwer's famous novel, “The Last Days of Pgmpeli,” at the National Rifles’ Armory, G street between 9th and 10th streets northwest, this evening at 8 o'clock. The fecital ts given under the aus- Pices of the Aral Patrol of Almas Temple, Mystic Shrine; and will be illustrated with 100 handsome stereopticon pictures. Mr. Ennis is well known as a public speaker and his recital of! the thrilling story will be Ustened to with the greatest amount of in- terest. . = THE BIOGRAPH.—One .of. the. features of the’ exhibitions of the Biograph at Wil- lard Hall this week are the superb views of the Grant monument, which are now being shown. They give a splendid idea of the superb structure, and have an educa- tional value which should not be underes- timated in the idea of getting amusement. The other new views are fully in keeping with the Grant monument scenes, and the whole collection is absolutely without fault, no matter from what standpoint it is viewed. All the exhibitions today are for the benefit of the Metropolitan M. E. inexpensive : ideas in mural decorations at Richard W.

The performarce 1s for the benefit of the Catholic University Athletic Assocta- tion, and this insures its financial success. As far as the artistic success of the per- formance is concerned, that fact is assured in advance by the sterling worth of the club as a dramatic organization. The play to be put on is that in which the club made @ signal success some time ago—“David Garrick.” It will be preceded by the one- act sketch, “Barbara.” The company com- prises Edward J. Walsh, Percy F. Leach, Geo. H. O'Coanor, Wm. F. McCarthy, A T. Leaman, John T. Nolan, Miss Nita Hen- dric, Miss Anne Hathaway, Miss Nora Cocker, Thomas Solon and Blake Talty, all well known in dramatic circles in Wash- ington and vicinity. MR. CLUM’S LECTURE.—Mr. John P. Clum will deliver his interesting lecture on “California and the Great Northwest” at the Carroll Institute this evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. Clum has delivered his lec- ture on this interesting subject several times in this city, and has always received the most favorable comment on his work as an interesting public speaker. MISS LICHTER AS MARGUERITE.—A change was made in the cast of “Faust” as presented by the Castle Square Opera Com- pary at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night. Miss Anna Lichter took the part of Marguerite, and was a vast im- provement over Miss Klein in that char- acter. While her voice is not quite broad enpugh for the part in the last great trio, on that account she was obliged to hurry the tempo. She sarg her other numbers beautifully, and in the jewel song earned and received an emphatic encore. Mr. William Schuster was the Mephistopheles, and sang the numbers well, acting the part with more ease and intelligence than did the one who assumed the character Mon- day night. Miss Linck repeated her suc- cess as Seibel, and the chorus was fully up to its usual high standard. The audience was large and enthusiastic. — The Finest Lumber, $1.00 Per 100 Ft.
