For nearly three years Miss Rice remained in New York, appearing during that time in many wide- different characters, and always with success. But her greatest hit was proba- bly made in “‘Nadjy,” and she played the tide rele in that opera for nearly four hundred consecutive times. Her first sea- son's tour as a star was made in a “Jolly Surprise.” It was a very good vehiclo for Miss Rice to show her versatility and won- derful powers of mimicry, and proved great financial success. ‘A Jolly Surprise’ ran for three years with excellent success. Last season Miss Rice produced several new plays, among them an adaptation of a great success, entitled “At the French Ball,” which has proven another great suc- cess, and in which she will be seen at the s.cademy of Music next week. GRAND OPERA HOUSE.—A few of the scenic effects and incidents which will be seen in James H. Wallick’s grand produc- tion of “A Guilty Mother,” which will be presented at the Grand Opera House next Monday, are the banks of the Thames, showing the Surrey side by moonlight, with the many buildings in the distance {llumi- nated; the attempted suicide and rescue; Cleo Duparc’s elaborate apartments; Oak- ley Towers; ball room of the Towers; a passion. Signor Giuseppe Campanari, the foremost baritone upon the Italian stage of today, is a great favorite here. Signor Cam- panari is illustrious not only for his pure, virile, supers voice, free delivery, broad and intelligent phrasing, and intense dra- matic feelings, but for his sound musician- ship, which has won the plaudits of the most censorious. He will be heard in his pepular rcles of Escamillo in “Carmen, Valentine in “Faust” and Figero in ‘The Barber of Seville.” The career of the celebrated basso of the company, Herr Emil Fischer, is a long and honorable one. He will sing King Henry in “Lohengrin,” in which he made his first appearance in New York. Of the other principal male singers Mr. David Bispham, Herr Joseph Staudig] and Messrs. Carbonne, Viviana, Boudouresque, Rains, Vanni and Stehmann are well worthy of especial mention. When it is understood that these eminent artists will have the support of a full and well trained chorus, and that the cperas will be produced under the personal supervision of Mr. Walter Damrosch and Mr. C. A. Ellis, the former of whom will alternate with Signor Bim- beni in conducting the orchestra, perform- ances are assured that will merit fully the liberal patronage which will without doubt be bestowed upon them. An especial fea- ture of the season will be the prices, which Washington is given decided ad- vantage over New York, Boston and Phila- delphia. COL. R. G. INGERSOLL'S NEW LEC- TURE.—Next Sunday evening, December | neon in 2 maprner th. ’ DECEMBER 4, 1897-26 PAGES. 12, Col. R. G: In@ersef will deliver at the New National: Thenter his new lecture, en- tieled, “Why 'I-Aim an Agnostic.” In this lecture Col. Ingergoll gives.a description of the people among avhom he was raised and by whom he wasxeducated: He tells what he was taught an&stheurguments used. He shows what first attracted his attention to the cruelties ande absurdities of orthodox religion; tells the books he read and the road he traveled frorh the superstitions of his fathers to the selence of today. He tells the story arsi tells it without preju- dice—without bitterness; tells it with clear- ness and candor, andrgives his reasons for the conclusions he has reached. In this lecture he justiffes himself and pays a glowing tribute to:the mental heroes of the world. It is full of wit, pathos, reason and Philosophy. “SHORE ACRES.”—At the New National theater on Monday evening, December 13, the eminent character actor, James A. Herne, begins a week’s engagement, again appearing in his masterly portrayal of Nathaniel Berry in his beautiful play of American home life, “Shore Acres.” On the opening night a handsome gold-plated Florentine frame will be given to the ladies in attendance as a souvenir of the fifteen hundredth performance of “Shore Acres.” As heretofore, Mr. Herne will have the support of a fine company of players, which includes all of last season's favorites. Among the new members are Misses Mar- ion Cullen, Julie A. Herne and Mr. Herbert Flansburgh. Entire new scenery will be employed. THE LYNDSAY COURSE.—Since it has become more generally known just what the Lyndsay course ts and what really ex- cellent talent one can enjoy through this course for one dollar, people in Washing- ton are becoming interested and enthusi- on reserved seats y morning at E. F. Droop & Sons will doubtless be @ large one. With sneh attractions offered as F. Marion Crawford, Alexander Black, Robarts Harpes, for the literary portion of the nnd the Mozart Symphony Clu ‘w York Philharmonic Club and the Bc ton mple Quartette Company for the concerts ay nothing of the balance on the list, I-known artists and com- panies, it can be safe aid that the Lind- say course is the best course that has ever been placed before the public, and at a price that will doubtless make the series popular. A course of concerts and lectures similar to the Linds: course has long been a feature in many cities, the famous Star course of Bosten, for ‘example, and has proved of the greatest possible good, not only as a permanent form of amusement, but from an educational standpoint. The influence ¢f such an entertairiment cannot but be elevating, and thus of the utmost importance to a community. The manage- ment feel sure that there is room here for the course, and with the success met with elsewhere, offer the course to Washin with the intention of making it one ¢ yearly features among amusements. Any personal information regarding the course that is desired may be had upon application at Droop’s or a prospectus se- cured. THE BIO “the APH AT WILLIARD HALL. —The management of the biograph an- nounces that the coming week will in all probability end the present season in this city and also an unusually strong list of ews for the closing week. The United ates Electric Company has repaired the damage done in the fire last week, which compeiled the bi ph to discontinue its exhibitions for four « ind now the en- inments are running at the regular homs. The reduction in the pr of ad- mission seems to have met with public ap- proval, as the attendance has been very large since the reduction. Exhibitions will be given daily at 2:30, 4:30 and a special inday evening entertainment at 8:50, “IOLANTHE” BY AMATEUR production of Gilbert and Sullivan's com‘e opera of “lolanthe’ at the town hail ot Brookland proved a delightful tr to the residents of that urd, ub fact that the stage was as Tots mother, wh Whitford won applause as “he majestic fairy queen.

The company ineludes Mr. Valentine Shep- ard, Misses Sigsbee,' Kimball and Craigen and Messrs. Walacé, Schayre and Riddle- berger. Some good work may be expected. SS Bootblneks!Made Happy. From the Chicago Record. Free shires will beia thing of the past in Chicago after December 15. The bootblacks of the. business district, after many weeks of hard work, have secured the pledges of all the down-town shoe dealers to quit shining shoes for nothing on the date men- tioned. On the evening of December 14 there will be a grand parade of bootblacks in celebration of the event. Committees to arrange for the parade were appointed at @ meeting held in the newsboys’ room in the Daily News building. A. J. Metzel, president of the Cutler Shoe Company, told the boys that the shoe dealers, by giving free shines, had educated 250,000 people to the idea of having their shoes shined by professional bootblacks. The dealers were now going to give the boys the benefit of this experience. A resolution was adopted spl the bootblacks to redeem all un- v ine tickets heretofore issued by dealers which are presented after Decem- ber 15. —__+-e+__ It matters little what it 1s that you want whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the Person who can fill your need. ‘ AMUSEMENTS.

From the Buffalo Express. “Cock of the North,” the famous tune which inspired the Gordon Highlanders to victory at Dargai Ridge on October 20, and which Piper Milne played as he sat propped against a rock with a bullet through each leg, has been the especial tune of the regi- ment alinost since its founding. The piece Gerives iis name from the Duke of Gordon, who was known as the Cock of the North. It is ordinarily played as a strathspey tor dancing, but when the time is quickened according to military requirements, it makes a dashing pibroch. Various incorrect statements have been made concerning the composition of the Gordon Highlanders. | This famous regiment, which with several other Scotch and Irish troops has always chad the honor of being put forward when the stoutest fighting is necessary, consists of three battalions, all of Aberdeenshire. The first, which was the original Gordon Highlanders, is the 75th Foot and came into existence about a century ago. When the territorial titles were assigned to regi- ments, the 92d Foot, also from Abeerdeen- shire, was made the second battalion of the Gordon Highlanders. ‘The third battalion is the Aberdeenshire militia, = NESDAY, DEG. 8, ONLY FOUR NIGHTS OF GRAND OPERA DUL Ww COM.
