COLUMBIA THEATER.—There can be no doubt that Miss Marie Dressler, whose personality is stamped in “Courted Into Court” with effulgent prominence, is devot- ed to her cailing. Where emotional act- resses are wont to produce “real tears” as evidence of the sincerity of their efforts, it is quitely likely that Miss Dressler could show genuine black and blue spots. She possesses in an eminent and tangible de- gree what fs called the faculty of throwing one's self into one’s work, and the audience watches with apprehenstve interest to see where she will light. Miss Dressler is en- tirely a matter of taste. She has a tremendous, permeating vitality which prompts superlatives in censure or in com- mendation, as the case may be. Had she enjoyed the advantages of discipline in a higher field she might nave been a figure or reat artistic importance. It is impossi- ble to believe that so much emotional and physical energy as she possesses could not somehow be utilized for the legitimate pur- poses of the stage. As it is, she runs riot; she is bewilderingly genuine; she never risks an assumption of any sort; she mere- ly romps. If she were less large or if her snappy eyes had in them a ray of languish- ment she might be a demoralizing influ- ence. But her exuberances lack the re- finement which would invite imitation. “ourted Into Court” is one of the skits which have been so effectual in the efface- ment of distinctions between the vaudeville and the dramatic stage. Mr. John J. Mc- Nally, its author, has valiantly blunted many pens in the honorable labor of afford- ing people with good specialties facilities for displaying them in first-class theaters. It may be that he once tried to put plots in his plays. But he is older now and wiser, and probably does not waste his la- ber. The conversation is exceptionally bright and spontaneous, and the characters are well made up by an excellent corps of entertainers. John C. Rice is a figure of consequence in the cast. He sings, dances and dexterously avoids physical injury at the hands of Miss Dressler. Miss Maud Huth’s negro songs were among the most praiseworthy and appreciated features of the performance. The vocal endeavors of John G. Sparks and Sally Cohen were also received with approval. a gentleman whom the program makes known as “Billy” Clif- ford gave a unique and amusing touch of the grotesque, while Jacques Kruger, in a lonely but welcome fashion, did some bona fide acting. His picture of an abandoned old reprobate was worthy of a better en- vironment. It may be assumed that, as often happens, the plot of “Courted Into Court” was permitted to rearrange and de- velop itself in rehearsals. There is a bibu- lous abandon about the result in this in- stance which makes it, to say the least, uncanny. But the people on the stage are funny, and the laughter and applause last night were loud and continuous. LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. —“The Girl From Paris,” as produced 1,000 times in England, 200 times in New York and 56 times in Philadelphia, began a week's ergagement at the Lafayette Square Theater last night, to an audience that occupied most of the standing room cn the first floor. “The Girl From Paris” is a concoction of nonsense, some prett stngs and choruses, some clever charact, izations, rather fetching scenery and a nolesale exhibition of lingerie and hosiery. e first part of the first act is rather low, but with the appearance of the French visitor and her irrepressible lover, the French spy, comes a spice that fresh- ens up things not a little. From that time on to the end of the act there is an exhibi- tion of csculation that would make Olga Nethersole blush. The second act is im- measurably better than the first, and it may he said that the first act is really but an intreduction or a prologue for the fun in the. second. and hilarity that follows ‘There are some catchy in the piece, the majori however, of the nonsensical sort, but, as the aught onto the popular fancy and drew from two to eight encores apiece, it would seem as though no fault couid be found with them. This act ts almost a centinuous performance in the way of auzhter, and if the first portion could be made as attraciive the second the rea- sor for the great success would be plainly apparent. There are seven peo- ple about whem the action revolves, and. st is a long one, the remainder E way of enlivening ma- The e: not the same as that appeared in New York and Phila- a, but it would seem as though the nt one weuld be hard to beat, and ially the new ones who have stepped the shees of the departed members Li "s place as Julie Bon-Hon, fenne, was taken by Ollie and, although she had but two is in the part, her work, outside of the accent, defied any one to ma co! ison. Her appearance is chic, while + has a cute ring in it that is ible, and her work may ized as 2 complete suc followed in the footste as the French spy, and ke also made quite s much of a success as did Ollie Redpath. Louis Mann, who had been doing the Ger man innkeeper, also left the company but his absence would never be noticed in the way James Sullivan did his work. mply in ick Long Herbert In fact, the rman was the very life of the second act, and his characterization Was one of the best hits of that sort of work that has been seen here. Josephine Hall as the English slavey Ruth caught the house at her first appearance and secured no less than eight encores on her song, “Sister Mary Jane’s Top Note,” making in all probability the biggest hit of the even- i Mr. Frank Smithson as the gallant major of the Battersea Butterfly Shooters had a character that exactly fitted him, and his excellent work fitted the character as well. Edwin Chapman and Benjamin Howard had two small parts, but they did their work well. Miss Phoebe Coyn, Miss Cheridah Simpson and Miss Millie Wilson z mall parts, but they do them weil voice ‘and M Ceyne abilities shining _w: quiet brightness.

It is doubtful ff he ever ap- red in any part where he had a better s good. opportunity to display the pecu- tlents, apparently original with no comedian than himself. In the erry Monarch” he made a decided hit with Washingtonians, as he did as Cadeaux in “Erminie,” but from the frequent ap- which he received, and which he shared with other members of his company st night, he is best liked in this. As Pier- etti, Miss Lulu Glasier was as successful a3 usual. Her voice seemed to strengthen fter the first act, and she received many ‘ores for her singing and grace. In the first act, though her voice did not seem to be as strong as usual, she was warmly ap- plauded for her rendition of the song wherein is contained the answer to the question of her lover to reveal her Identity. Since her last appearance here her methods have noticeably improved, until now she appears as spontaneous and unstudied as Wilson himself, and at times as irresistible, though, of course, in a different way. Mr. Peter Lang, as Mistigris, the factotum of Tireschappe, and clownish lover of Pierette, did not overdo his part. He seemed to real- ize perfectly what was required of him. Messrs. John Brand and J. C. Miron were clever in their respective parts. As Hon- ore, Mr. Clinton Elder appeared to excel- lent advantage both in his singing and act- ing, and had the vim and dash, which, by the way, seems characteristic of every member of the company. Miss Celeste Wynn made a vivacious and pretty Lu- cinde. The opcra seems to have the faculty of leading all unconsciously enough from line to line, act to act, until the ntghést pitch of enthusiasm {s reached on the part of the audience. This was evidenced by the outburst of applause which received Mr. Wilson’s song in the last act, of “If I Were Really a King.” The chorus of the com- pany is finely trained, and the settings and costumes are all that could be desired by the most hypercritical in stagecraft. ‘here were additions to the orchestra which in- creased its effectiveness. One of the most noteworthy features of last night's per- formance was the fact that the audience wes not only a large one, but contained an; number of the best-known society peo- ple in Washington, notwithstanding the fact that the attraction# at the other the- aters were much above the average. —> NEW NATIONAL THEATER.—The rainy weather affected the attendance at the National Theater last night to the ex- tent of bringing out the smallest audience of any of the large theaters. Mr. Joseph Jefferson's reception, however, was a warm one, and what ft lacked in numbers it made up in enthusiasm, as he made his reap- pearance before the footlights. Mr. Jeffer- son has not played a full engagement in Washington for three years, but it was evi- dent last night that in the intervening time he had not been forgotten by his friends. A double call at the close of the first act brought him before the curtain and elicit- ed an acknowledgment of appreciaton of the compliment that had been paid him. Mr. Jefferson's work in “Rip Van Winkle” is well known to Washington theater go- ers, and needs no comment. His interpre- tation of the part of old Rip is the accept- ed standard for Irving’s famous character. Although the casting of the play has left but little to be done by any one save the star, Mr. Jefferson has surrounded himself with a company of such excellence that they cannot be kept down by minor parts, but insist upon carrying a full share of the work. Miss Anne Sutherland, as Gretchen, the scolding wife of old Rip, made a de- cldedly favorable impression. In addition to a clear conception of the part she is to play Miss Sutherland possesses physical qualifications eminently fitting for the character. Mr. Theo. Hamilton made a good Derrick von Beekman, the hard and close-fisted old Dutchman, and in the last eect carried the imitation of the rascal to such a realistic extent as to call forth a round of hisses from the emotional gallery gods. Mr.Jefferson’s son, William Winter Jef- ferson, as the nephew of Derrick, maintain- ed the favorable impression he had hereto- fore created among Washington theater goers. Master Tyler, the seven-year-old, as litule Hendrick, realized the reports that had preceded him of being a youthful prodigy. At one point he and Meenie, Rip’s daughter, have the stage to themselves, and they fill it. Virgie Glyndon took the part of Meenie satisfactorily. In the first act and in the last act, when twenty years are supposed to have passed, Miss Blanche Bender carries the part, while Mr. Joseph Warren plays the grown-up Hendrick. Miss Julia Dean, Mr. Harry Meredith, Mr. Walter Howard and Mr. Dudley McCann made the best of their minor roles. “Rip Van Winkle” will be repeated to- night, Wednesday, and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee. Thursday and Fri- day nights the “Cricket on the Hearth” and “Lend Me: Five Shillings” will be pre- sented as a double bill. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—The Academy of Music is sure to be crowded throughout the week. The rousing reception given “The City of New York” last evening leaves no doubt that Walter Fessler knows well how to play on the chord of popularity. The pley abourds with splendid scenic effects, touches of real life which call the wildest enthusiasm from the galleries and emo- ticnal parts that visibly stir the audience. The plot is not new in any material degree. There is a young man, nurtured in wealth and thrown upon his own resources when he has reached mantood. The ambitious father of the girl he loves wishes to marry her to a blackleg of a family of high soctal position. The blackleg makes lots of trou- ble, but the worthy young man go through the trials of life with success. There are strong dramatic effects. Mr. Walter Fessler as Jack Morgan, the gam- bler, made a hit. Porter J. White, as Tom nders, showed considerable dramatic ability, but made the mistake of overdo! his part at times. Miss Pauline Train, as the flower girl, captivated the house. Jas. Farley did good work as the newsboy, and Edward Brennan, as Policeman O’Hooli- han, proved a great success. The scenes on the Bowery, at Grant's tomb and Ciaremont-on-the-Hudson were especially good, while the train wreck worked the galleries into a high pitch of excitement. KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER—The bill presented at Kernan’s this week is in every respect first ¢ It is the Hopkins’ aggregation of star specialties, and mei the many good things that have been s about it. In skort it is an up-to-date per- formance, with specialties carefully se- lected and artistically interpreted. A clever comedy conceit entitled, “A Bit of Real Life,” wich Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sidman in the cast, proved entirely satisfactor Then came Will H. Fox, “Paderwhiskey.” i rk on the piano, coupled with quaint humor, elicited warm applal: end he was recalled again and again. . He seems to get music out of the piano in Ways no one ever dreamed of, and his tune carefully picked out with’ his nose sa difficult trick. Genaro and Bailey ad a brand new Ethiopian sketch, and a very funny cake walk. The Karno trio, English grotesques, fully maintained the good reputation that preceded them and gave a finished performance. Leona Lewis, a dainty little soubrette, was far above the average in her neat specialty. Then came the star of the evening, Panin- ta, the myriad dancer. This lady prese: an entirely new dance that won for her as much applause 4 performer ever re- ceived at Kernan By a el er arrange- ment of mirrors and light effects she gave a really artistic performance. She is un- deubtedly the best specialty that has been seen here this season. BIJGU THEATER.—Another excellent bill is presented at the Bijou this week, and the audiences yesterday were suffi. cient to justify the beiief that the record will be broken during this engagement.
