Washington theater goers have been ac- customed in the past to witnessing superior performances of “David Garrick.” They pessess the recollection of the work of Lawrence Barrett, of Charles Wyndham, of George Boniface, sr., the elder Sothern, Nat. Goodwin, and lesser lights in the de- lineation of the character of the great English actor who lends his name to the play. Those who saw Mr. Willard at the Lafayette Square last night in “David Gar- rick” were compelled to acknowledge that the performance exceeded in merit many that have been witnessed in this city and compared favorably with the best. It would be insufficient to say that last night's performance was a finished and ariistic one. There were portions of the play where the work of the principal reacn- ed a point of excellence never before sur- pessed in this class of acting upon any stage in Washington. 3 Those who have watched Mr. Willard’s work year by year as the returning dra- matic seasons have brought him to Wash- ington were struck last night by his ver- satility as demonstrated in his handling of the character of “David Garrick.” It was utterly at variance with any other part in which Mr. Willard has become familiar to Washingtonians. In “The Middleman” his friends have seen his art of depicting a somber and semi-tragic character. “In “David Garrick” Mr. Willard shows alter- rate flashes of comedy and patios, quick transition from tne one to the other, whose sharp contrasts bring out vividly his abili- ties. This is especially noticeable in the second act, where David Garrick is simu- lating the part of a drunkard, a gamester and buliy in order to disgust, in fulfillment of a rash promise, the woman he :eally loves, and whose good opinion ie cherishes mere than all upon earth. In the midst of kis simulation he allows himself to relapse into his natural self for a few moments, and the manner in which he returns to the self-imposed part demonstrates the art of the actor. In his representation of a drunk- en man Mr. Willard performs a piece of realism that none of his predecessors in this part excelled. No better testimony to this fact could be found than the coatin- uous laughter and applause of the male portion of the audience, who recognized the realistic effect While this s going on, a minor part was being acted, a pathetic foil to Mr. Willard’s comedy. The woman he loved i who returned his passion was witness- ing the shattering of her idol, and under- going a cruel disillusion. Miss Maud Hoff- rian, as Ada Ingot, enlisted the favor of the ‘audience by her personal charms as well as through her characterization of the love-smitten daughter of old Ingot: She failed, however, to equal some of those who have won distinction in the part. The ccmpany is generally a good one. Mr. V per Clarges as Simon Ingot, alderman o! the city of London and director in the East India Company, fills the ideal of the sturdy, money-getting old Briton, and deserves special notice for his work. On the other hard, Mr. Bromley Davenport failed to ake of Richard Chivy all that some oth- have got out of the part. ‘The presentation. of the play was preceded by a curtain raiser, “The Interviewer,” in which Miss Keith Wakemann and Mr. Os- wald Yorke made the best they could out f an Impossible newspaper woman and an ineredtbly gullible dramatic author. To- night Mr. Willard will be seen as Tom Finch, in a dramatization of Dickens’ “Martin Chuzzlewit.

Miss Lillian Brainard as Helen Dan, Ethlynn Palmer as Florence Sherwood and Miss Nellie Callahan as Dorothy Dundar were all good in their re- spective parts, Miss Callahan being excep- tionally good in her ingenue part. THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE. —The largest audier at any theater in town st night was at the Grand, because the dis the largest theater in town, and full up from floor to ceiling. The was that well-known serious and .” with John . Leonard as Hogan and Barney Gilmore as his ally—this is no joke. These two famous Irish comedians are real warm stuff, and in as ptable a play “Ho- gan’s Alley,” with a lot more of good peo- ple in the cast, they present a perform- ence that is beund to win. This is not the first time the play has been seen here, and that it should fill the Grand on a sec- ond appearance is the highest kind of a tribute to its excellence. The play has a double drawing power, in that it has an interesting plot and includes a lot of spe- clalties to assist in the entertainment. Among these are Thompson and Bunnell in a musical act, the Le Page Sisters in dancing and quick changes. Mazie King, the sunshine of the alley, did some very flexible dancing. Lillian’ Shirley's songs were much enjoyed. Eddie O'Dell as very funny in gymnastics, and the Belles of Beauty Row, six pretty girls in a new dance, were fine. Every part of the play was thoreughly enjoyed by the big au- dience, which had come there to enjoy the show rather than to criticise it. COLUMBIA THEATER.—Gene Cc. who won his way to the heart a Gag American people by his exaggerated comi. calities as Grimsey, ‘‘me boy,” in a “Bunch of Keys,” was at the Columbia Theater last ufght with his old side partner in “The Midnight Bell," George Richards, who Piayed the part of Deacon Tidd. While amusing, it must be confessed that neither would have acquired the reputation he now enjoys had he relied upon “My Boys” for his first appearance. Richards person- ates a well-to-do stock raiser, who takes in summer boarders, for, as’ he says, if he didn’t, some ‘one ‘else would. ‘The three young ladies whe board with him are, unknown to him, wives of his three absent sons. He falls in love with his daughters-in-law and promises to 1ar- ry each, The complications resulting from his too great rriskiness and the fact that he has set his heart on marrying one of his sons to his wealthy werd, who is also secre married, furnish the fun of the comedy. The audience was generous in its applause and the singing of Canfield, Rich- ards and Ida Rycroft was Tepeatedly cn- cored. The supporting company comprised it play solemn drama, “Hogan's Alle! allie Stembler, Mattie Keene, Flo: ce Earl, Harriet Willard, May Montfora, Frank C. Crane, Arthur Sanders, George E. Martin and Philip Robson. THE NATIONAL.—Negro minstrelsy of the past has made such a reputation for that class of amusement that it is now eusy for any kind of a negro minstrel show to keep itself going, and when It is of the superior order of merit characterizing the Primrose & West combination opening last night at the National to a full house, the “go” is not only assured, but the suc. cess is practically overwhelming. In the matter of production, the gorgeousness of the first part is as usual, but the songs are © WHY SCOTT'S EMULSION CURES bts See nage lungs, makes and sti jens and delicate children ie Because all ite parts are mixed in so sci- entific @ manner’ that the feeblest digestion can deal with it.

It began with the ‘‘Melophrame” dancing originated by Mr. George: Lewis, with national dancing in addition; then there were the great ven- triloquist Trovollo, the musical artists (Falke and: Semon), the Schrode_ brothers, acrobatic eomigues; Ezra Kendall in a meritorious, merry’ and mirth-provoking monologue, and.a grand and beautiful con- cociion in the zouave drill, under Mr. West's personal direction. MR. AND MRS. GEROG HENSCHEL.— Those talented and cultured musicians, Mr. and Mrs. Georg H. Henschel, enter- tained a numerous audience at the Univer- salist Church last night with a recital. hat two people should undertake to give an entire evening’s program seems at nrst thought to imply a risk of overburdening human capability. But the very simplicity of the performance enables Mr. and Mrs. Henschel the more thoroughiy to impress their own ideas and personalities in the in- terpretation of the masterpieces which they offer. The recital was as excellent in qual- ity as it is unique in idea and dignified in purpose. The program tested the abilities of Mr. and Mrs. Henschel in a wide range. Mrs. Henschel’s admirable voice was shown to distinct advantage in the selections calling for rapid and delicate execution as well as in the broader, more dramatic pas- sages. The rich, full quality of Mr. Hen- schel’s voice was most agreeably displayed in selections appropriate to its quality ahd of inherent interest and attractiveness. As an accompanist Mr. Henschel has the sym- pathy and the finish which do not permit impressions of technical difficulty to ob- trude themselves so as to disturo the com- pleteness of- poetic impression which seems to be especially sought for. The original compositions which Were included called forth sincere and hearty applause, and if all the invitations to repeat selections had been responded to the entertainment would have been carried to unreasonable length. Among the most highly appreciated num- bers were “he Eri-King’’ and the duet from Donizetti's “Don Pasquale.” So even was the merit of the performance that there was net a selection whi did not command hearty approval. The welcome extended to Mr. and Mrs. Henschel re- newed former unmistakable assurances of the high esteem in which they are held by Washington music lovers. A matinee will be given at the Columbia Theater tomor- row afternoon, with an entire change of program. KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—Man- ager Kernan presents this week a brand- new combination, “The Manhattan Burles- quers,"” and, while it is constructed upon the same lines as all burlesque companies, there are new f and new acts. The epening burlesq jummer Night was a new creation entirely satisfactory The girls were the comedians funny and in point of entertainment. pretty and shapely, and the scenery new and pleasing. Carus and Miles, vocalists, rendered a number of popular songs in an acceptable man- ner. Then came the Dunbar Sisters, whose efforts in the tersichorean line were well received. McAvoy and May, whose repu- tation as entertainers is known. on both continents, were given an ovation, and their bright sallies of wit and their humor- ous songs made their act one of the fea- tures of the bill. In their finished gym- nastic act ‘the Judges fairly outdid them- selves and won unstinted applause. The piece, a burlesque on ‘The Girl From "was a fitting climax to an ex- cellent performan The burlesque w Med legiti- 0: not as suggestive as the mate farce comedy, but very much funnier. As the presiding judge at the trial of th girl Dick Bernard was laughable, and hi rulings were provckingly funny. The mem- bers of the company participated in the burlesque, and, with new songs and catchy music, it proved acceptable. BIJOU THEATER. the Bijou is keeping up the pace it started several wéeks sago, and this week fur- nishes a variety entertainment that is first-class. It 1s a monster performance, ard Fovr it ts possible at the popular prices is one of the hard things to explain. For the first part an excellent minstrel show is given, and Clark Gibbs and Lew Sim- mons are. first-¢lass comedians. In the olio which followed Miss Hellene Tousart was captivating. She sang several French songs in a@ true Parisian style and won everybocy by her graceful dances and sweet voice. It remained for Senator Frank Bell to score the hit of the per- formance. His address on “Live Issues of the Day” was a bright sally of wit and The management of THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC, ‘Temperance Advocate Suggests That Legislation is Needed. ~A member of a local temperance organ- ization, speaking to a Star reporter today, said he hoped .the cause of prohibition would make an advance of some kind dur- Ing the present session of Congress. He was speaking more particularly about the laws governing the liquor traffic in the District. “In the first place,” he said, ‘there are entirely too many drinking places in the city, and the number, I think, should be lessened. Of course I know it is difficult to regalate the traffic except to make the business prohibitory; but a higher license tax would be cf some assistance. The tax, I think, should be made about $1,000, and while this might result in a mononly, it would also result in a monopoly of the drinking. A monopoly or whisky trust of this kind would certainly not be objection- able to law-abiding citizens, for it would decrease either the quantity of liquor con- sumed or the number of consumers, and either reducticn would be a benefit. “Suppose, for instance,” he continued, “the increase in the license should result in an increase in the price of liquor, poor people certainly could not buy the same number of drinks, and a man who goes home under the influence of two drinks is not calculated to make his family quite so miserabie as he would if he had many more drinks in him. “A change in the law regulating the Sun- day traffic is also not only desired, but much needed, as the report of Maj. Moore will show. The speaker referred to the part of Maj. Moore's last annual report which reads: “The police were long puzzled to know where so many intoxicated persons pro- cured drinks on Sundays. The mystery has been revealed, and despite the fact that our breweries have extensive sales throughout the week, they sell to customers on Sundays in quantities of an eighth of a keg or more of beer without fear of molestation or prosecution. There is no law which will reach this class of sales. In some sections it is no uncommon sight to see an individ- ual carryirg a sack containing a keg of beer to some suburban lot or alley stable to be eagerly feasted upon by his com- panions in waiting. The evil is extending, and in the absence of law to cover this class of barter it is recommended that your honorable budy solicit such amendment to the excise law as will enable the police to prosecute this class of offenders.” Resuming, the temperance advocate said he thought it was somewhat inconsistent to allow a brewery to sell and deliver beer in kegs on Sundays, when a saloonkeeper is not permitted to even enter his saloon. Under the law and the rulings of the court, he said, a saloonkeeper who goes in his bar on Sunday, if it is only to get a piece of ice for sickness, violates the law, and he thought there was no reason why the same rule should not apply to breweries. “So far as the number of saloons is con- cerned,” he said, “there are already too many. It is my opinion that there should not be more than one saloon in any one juare. There are more than six on some, nd Tam told that on one square there are about a dozen. Such a showing as this, I think, is a bad one for the capital of th’ country, and although it has been permit ted so many years it is not too late to make a change.” —_—.>—__ TRIBUTE TO GEN. HARRIES. Cambrian Society Takes Pride in Hix Recent Promotion. ‘The Cambrian Society of this city has passed resolutions in reference to the pro- motion of George H.

It is set forth that the promotion was evidently based upon the merits and qualifications of Mr. Harries. The socicty further extends its congratulations to Gen.
