Nat Gooawin has been the most popular actor in the city this week, and the Na- tional Theater nas been filled with a suc- cesion of distinguished audiences. “The Highwayman,” De Koven and Smith's op- era, has also found favor at the Lafayeite, and the singing of Miss D’Arville and Mr. O'Meara and the fun-making of Jerome Sykes, Harry McDonough and Nellie Brag- gins. has been greatly enjoyed. Fanny Rice has demonstrated her hold upon the Public by attracting large audiences to the Academy and Cora Tanner has proved her ability as an actress at theGrand. Vaude- ville has flourished at Kernan’s L; Next week a company, including McKee Rankin, Nance O'Neill, Rose Eytinge and others, will present a dramatization of Mrs. Burnett's novel, “That Lass 0° Lowries,” Willie Collier will be seen “The Man From Mexico,” at the Na- A spectacular production of “Uncle Cabin” will be at the Academy. A meledrama, entitled “Cuba's Vow,” will hold the stage at the Grand, and “The Paristan Widows” will disport at the Ly- ceum. at the Lafayette. in It does seem as if there ought to be some concerted action on the part of the theater ers, or else there should be some ssed which would prevent the wear- ing of a big hat during a performance. Nine-tenths of the women now either wear small bonnets, which do not interfere with the vision of those who sit behind them, or remove their big hats and hold them in their laps during the performance. It is the ot! th of the feminine contingent of theatergoers that causes the trouble. r night at one of the first-class a glance over the orchestra show- twenty big hats, the nodding of which completely prevented sitting behind the wearers from get- any sort of view of the stage action. of the biggest of these hats was perched on the top of the head of a stout woman, sitting on the front row, and she evidently enjoyed the distinction of being the only woman in her vicinity who was causing anybody else any discomfort. La- dies on either side of her had removed their hats, but she retained her towering headpiece and evidently enjoyed the play if those who sat behind her didn't “She is evidently a stranger here,” said one nileman, who was being incommoded. ‘No she isn't,” rejoined one sitting beside him. “She belorgs right here in this city end a few nights ago I had an experience that I don't care to repeat. She was at ther theater, and sat right in front of young daughter, who couldn't see hardly eny of the stage on acccunt of that woman's big hat. I asked her politely if she wouldn't remove her hat as she was impeding the view of the stage, but she gave me a marble stare and said she had paid for her seat and there was no law “that compelled her to remove her hat.” Mr. Wilton Lackaye has, it {s be finally obtained, the new play, . O'Malley,” a production in which he can give his talenis full play. Mr. Lackaye is ene of the most versatile actors now before the public, and has probably created more characters than any American actor. These characters have been varied, but all have been drawn in bold, sharp lines, and have left their impress upon the the gter-going contingent. Chas. Leves’ hy 4s a manly dragoon, and will, at this’ time particularly, appeal strongly to popular taste. Mr. Lackaye’s personal and artis- tle altribu fit him to portra the das trooper, drawn by the Irish no’ 1 his friends in this city of his birth they are legion—will undoubt- me nita royally at the Lafayette Opera House.

By the way, may I ask you to fill this can With oil and let me hand you the change te morrow?” “With pleasure,” said the resemblance, beaming with good feeling, and the can Was filled. In time this sort of thing wore ut with the old printer, but he thought the dea might be worked once or twice by his ants, so the other old man was sent to flatter for oil. He did it all right. Then it came the shifiless fellow's turn, @nd he hustled out with the can as if the mission were the simplest thing on earth. “Don't make any mistake.” called the old man. “Remember he looks like Daly— ‘Augustin Daly—the theatrical manager." Entering the little grocery, he fairly threw the can to the beaming proprietor, a hero { twenty-five of | | | | peared that week was entirely sold out from one to two weeks prior to his engage- { } on the stage. — and, plucking up a handful of sweet rais- ins, blurted out between chews: Fill it up, boss. You look like Gus Tin- daly, the club-swinger.” NEW NATIONAL THEATER—At the National Theater every evening next week and the regular Wednesday and Saturday matinees will be seen that quaint comedian, Willie Collier, in an entirely new farce comedy from the French by Du Sou- chet, ‘entitled “The Man From Mex- ico." The story concerns one Benjamin Fitzhugh, wo by attending a stag supper at a notorious resort, gets arrested, and to escape a domestic ‘scandal deceives his wife by telling her that he has suddenly been called to Mexico. In reality he be- ccmes a member of the chain gang on Blackwell's Island and ts obliged to serve out his sentence. The second act finds him in the penitentiary, a full fledged con- vict, but nevertheless a favorite with the warden, and there he kicks up all manner of amusing and side-spiltting didoes. Fin- ally he comes out of jail and returns to the domestic fireside in New York city with flying colors, clad in a very extravagant and decidedly picturesque Mexican cos- tume. The second act is pronouncedly the funniest of the three, but each of the other two contains many very highly amusing and sensational situations. Mr. Collier 1s surrounded with a very efficient company, many of whom have established them: selves as favorites here. Louise Allen, the leading lady, appears as the suspicious and Jealous wife of “The Man From Mexico,” and incidentally introduces in the third act a new and decidedly novel Mexican dance called, “Maraquita.” The part of the offi- cicus friend will be played by Maclyn Ar- buckle, and the other characters are in- trusted to Charles Mason, M. L. Heckert, Dan Mason, Philip Ryley, Geo. W. Parsons, Carolyn Elberts, Violet Rand and Kathe- rine Mulkins. JOHN DREW.—Mr. John Drew will begin an engagement of a week at the National Theater Monday evening, May 2. This will be Mr. Drew's second visit to Washington this season, he having been seen here ear- lier with the brilliant comedy of manhers, “A Marriage of Convenience,” which Syd- ney Grundy made from the original of the elder Dumas. This time he will demon- strate his many-sided art by presenting a comedy of an altogether different ¢charac- ter, entirely new to Washington, and call- ed “One Summer's Day.” It is from the pen of a young English author-actor, Henry V. Esmond, and is described by the critics as “‘an idyllic love story.” It will come with the prestige of success in New York and London. The story is declared to be interesting, garnished with the mer- riment of true comedy, a healthy senti- ment and many gentle touches of pathos. Seats go on sale Thursday next. ‘There will be matinees Wednesday and Saturday. THE HOFMANN RECITAL.—The_sec- end Hofmann piano recital occurs Tues- day afternoon at the Columbia Theater at 4:15. So great was the enthusiasm at his first recital, and so many reauests were made that he return for another recital that this one was at once arranged, and it is safe to say that the many that heard this young artist will again attend. Josef Hofmann stands today among the few great pianists, and he has won this dis- tinction not from any personal traits or mannerisms, but upon purely artistic lines. When he is at the piano he makes the instrument the living part of him- felf and draws from it certain tones and effects that are nothing short of marvelous. In command of touch’ and technique and nding of pedal work he is not sed, and in many Interpretations he is without an equal. Hofmann will play a new program for this reciial, giving the Beethoven va, in Eilat major, and selections for tie works of Chopin, Godard, agner, and his preceptor—Rubenstein. He plays the compositions of this great Master, it is said, as only a pupil of Rubenstein could. To show the won- derful control of his left hand, and extra- ordinary execution, he will play composi- tions of his own, an etude called the Le- d, for left hand alone. Seats are sell- ing at Guzman's, in E. F. Droop & Sons. A. C. MINSTRELS.—One of the clever ures of the Columbia Athletic Club's rel show at the Columbia Thea 2 will be the chorus of boy voic rom one of the best boy choirs in the city These youngsters have been acti re- hearsing with the club members and will appear in black face, and will be appro- tely costumed. Their voices blending h those of the men make a novel and effect, in addition to which young n Morse, the possessor of a phenom- enal sbprano, will sing a ballad with the entire company in the chorus, a number that will undoubtedly be one of the hits of the evening. Another feature worthy of particular note is the quartet composed of . Gough, Hensy, Cronin and Asmus- The capability of these gentlemen is known and they have arranged a well | number of selections particularly appropri- an affair. From the work of the troupe at rehearsal, it is clear that all of the amateurishness generally apparent in productions of the kind contemplated | by the C. A. C. has been eliminated, and a prof ional flavor will permeate the entire ance. FRANK DANIELS.—Frank Daniels will on May 9 the Columbia Theater, enter upon the last week of the most prosperous son he has ever had since he has been The great success he won during his engagement at the Columbia last February he Has repeated since wherever he has been. During the season he has ed one week of one night stands. Ev- one of the six theaters in which he ap- ment. Manager LaShalle has had many flattering inducements to continue the sea- son. but he has flatly declined to make any bookings for this season after the coming Washington engagement. LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. —Next week McKee Reukin’s excellent company will commence an engagement at the Lafayette Square Opera House, open- ing in the dramatization of Mrs. Burnett's novel, “That Lass 0’ Lowrie’s.” There are some excellent people in thig company, no- tably Mr. McKee Rankin, Miss Nance O'Neil, Miss Rose Eytinge, Mr. Wilton Lackaye and others whose ability is well known, and an excellent performance may be expected. GRAND OPERA HOUSE.—The attrac- uon at the Grand Opera House next week will be “Cuba's Vow,” a melodrama in five acts, with comedy. It is as melodramatic as any piece that travels, with half a dozen carloads of real moving machinery, and in it yet only a few shots are fired. The ab- sorbing interest is not of the kind that sends the gallery into ecstasies and the boxes to cynicism. Every word tells, every moment on the stage means something of life or death, every pause is eloquent. There are gleams of comedy which is as distinct- ive as the touch of a Gilbert or a Pinero. In fact, there is enough action, climax and good stage material of all kinds in this play to fit out a dozen ordinary dramas. Leander Blanden, who plays the American hero, and Terese Deagle, who plays the heroine, enter thoroughly into the spirit of the drama—in fact, their work can be called emotional The play 1s mounted very handsomely. The scenery, which em- braces a whole cariload, is direct from the great studios of Harley Merry, that emi- nent scenic artist of New York, and shows that the artist fully, studied his subject be- fore transferring it to canvas. It is at- tractive, especially in its depiction of tropl- cal lands The cast includes fifty art- ists picked from the best, amcng whom will be seen Kathlyn Davenport, as Da- J (Cp y= AC | lores, known as the tigress of Andalusia; Rose Evans, L. D. Blondell, as Gen. Maceo; J. V. Arlington, Joseph Fitzpatrick, B. A. Wm. H. Young, John M. Welch and many others worthy of mention. “Cuba's Vow" is a play of the times—one that will be popular with theatergoers long after Spain is humiliated and Cuba is free. BIJOU THEATER.—Pretty Dot Daven- port, a vivacious singing comedienne, is the head line of the Bijou company for rext week, Side by side is the announce- ment of the appearance of Miss Bertha Wagner, the sweet singer of Hamburg, assisted by Bruno Arnim, in a series of opera selections, woven into a comedy grand opera sketch, entitled “Grand Opera in a Kitchen.” The positive appearance of the well-known society belle, Miss Kate Chase Sprague, is also announced. The Brothers Armstrong, a pair of comedians of well known ability; Byron G. Harlan, the phenomenal tenor vocalist, assisted by Edward Marsh, will present several new illustrated songs. Among them sev- eral of the stirring Cuban war pictures; Fred and Dot West, a comedy sketch team of rare ability; Hadj. Lessik, the wonder- ful Turk, in a peculiar novelty act; Myrtle ‘s the singing soubrette, in popu- songs; James Collins and Lucie Ray, travesty artists; the ever popular Charley De Forest, in & comedy act, entitled “A Barber For a Day; Thompson and Car- ter, in a bright comedy sketch, and the Big Bijou Burlesque Company, in “What?” introducing all the members of the stock company, assisted by the chorus of forty pretty girls, and other accessories, will make up one of the very best of enter- tainments Another new feature will be the announcement from the stage of all the immediate war news, and the base ball returns by innings. LYCEUM THEATER.—Weber's Parisian Widows, the “elite” of all burlesque or- ganizations, will be Manager Kernan’s at- traction at the Lyceum next week. Dur- ing the present season this company has played all of the principal cities in the United States, and the result has been universal praise from “press’’ and public alike. In the company are Tenley and Si- monds, the premier character comedians; Howard and Emerson, originators of songs illustrated with the biograph; Miss Letta Meredith, the beautiful blonde; the Cosmo- politan Trio, in operatic selections and bits of wit and humor; Boyce and Black, come- dians in funny sayings and original repar- tee; Raymond and Clark, refined comedy duo; the Bernam Sisters, in catchy songs and difficult dances; Lizzie Van, the dainty little entertainer, and others. The con- cluding feature 1s an original burlesque by Harry B. Marshall, entitled “A Night on Broadway,” which depicts the humorous side of New York's most prominent thor- oughfare after dark. The feminine con- tingent displays a formidable array of magnificent costumes and millinery, while the stage settings are appropriate and in keeping with the elegance which predomi- nates throughout. There will be matinees Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—An old favorite in a new dress will be presented at the Academy next week. “Uncle Tom's Cab: in,” as presented by the Webber Company, is out of the beaten track which has been so long followed by many companies pre- senting the ever-green drama. Added to a new version, which embodies many new and novel effects, one of them, ‘The Voo- doo Festival,” entirely new to the stage, will be a@ first-class cast, each character being realized by a specially adapted art- ist. Special new scenery and costumes and a large corps of singers, dancers and jubi- lee shouters, also a comical cake walk, will be given. The well-remembered scenes of the play are all retained, the new ones tak- ing the place of much that was tedious and unnecessary in the old version. The public may be sure of witnessing a very enjoy- able entertainment. Between each act there are specialties, including Martine, the boneless wonder. SOME MUSICAL NOTES | Mrs. Mamie Morrice Burdette, who made j her first appearance in public since her | marriage at the choff concert last | Thursday night, proved that she is still one of the most ascomplished pianists in the | District. She played a Chopin bailad, C1 | Minade’s “La Lisager: eki waltz de concert, and in each number | demonstrated not only her technical abil- | ity, but also her musicianly temperament. Mrs. Burdette will shortly give a piano | recital at the residence of Mrs. J. B. Ken- dall, at which she will pay an interesting program of Chopin, Rubinstein, Liszt, Cha- minade and Lisst’s transcriptions of Schu- bert. Now that she has again begun to play professionally, it is to be hoped that Mrs. Burdette will be heard frequently. Her work at the Bischoff concert is a guar- antee that the success she attained ag Mamie Morrice will be more than dupli- cated as Mis. Burdette. Professors H. E. Saltsman and Wiliam class for a performance of “Pinafore,” to be given May 20 and 21 in National Rifles’ Armory. The entire cast and chorus will be composed of children, many of whom have had considerable experience in such work. The management will spare no pains to produce the well-known opera on an elaborate scale. The stage is under the personal direction of Professor de Ford, and many new features will be introduced. The Lawrence School of Music and Elo- cution has begun rehearsal for the re- citals to be held in May. One of the even- ings will be set apart for children, and they will furnish the entire program. ‘The last recital by the younger pupils of :he school was so successful that the director, Professor Lawrence, decided to give a children’s recital every month. Miss Ethel Holtzclaw will be one of the soloists at the coming recital, and will sing several difficult songs. The Sunday Night Musio Club met at Mrs. Julius Ulke’s, on 8 street, and played the first Be2thoven symphony, the marcia, adagio, menuetto, scherzo, polacco, an- dante, with its variations; allegro and the final_marcio, from the ‘same composer, op. 8; the Swedish Wedding March, by Soderman, with two movements of’ the 16th Mozart piano concerto, Miss Elsa Ulke and string accompaniment. Twelve mem- bers were present, three first violins, three second violins, two violas, two ‘cellos and three pianists. The Columbia Music Club will give its first Wednesday evening social next Wed- nesday evening. A lMmited number of guests will be invited, when a program of music, recitations, etc., will be rendered af- ter the regular rehearsal. The club is re- hearsing “The Spring Song,” by Pinsuti; “The Legend of the Chimes,” from the opera, “Robin Hood,” and the opera, “Chimes of Normandy,” and meets every Wednesday evening at No. 1127 10th street northwest. oe THE DAMROSCH SOCIETY. Preparations Being Made for Its An- nual Concert. ‘The Damrosch Society's concert at the Columbia Theater on May 4 is being look- ed forward to with considerable interest.
