This week has been notable for the excel- | way of evening up scores before the sum- Jent m ner in which Srether John” has been produced at the Columbia Theater. %n this play Mr. James rows has found @ part that fits him like a glove, and he richly erves the praise that has been given him for his tmpersonation. The bur- lesque called “The Hula Girl” at the La- fayette Square shows what Washington talent can do. It is a fVashington produc- tion In every respect, composer, librettist and performers all being local people. The young gentlemen composing the Columbian University Vaudeville Club have developed acting ability rare in amateurs and they all sing excellently. There seems to be no reason why this organization should not Meet with as mucif success as the Mask and Wig Club of Philadelphia. Glen Echo has become popular on ac- count of the growing torridity of the tem- perature, and the nightly attendance has been large. The opera company has much to commend {t in its excellent chorus and the good work of its male principals. It is weakest in its feminine contingent of principals. “Olivette” may, however, in- duce a different verdict. Vaudeville still continues popular at the Lyceum. de: People who witness the clever little game of chess which forms such a delicately sentimental climax to the romance of “Brother John” at the Columbia do not Tealize what labor and mental strain it cost James O. Barrows and Maud Haslam to get up in the “business” of the scene. The story of the scene is very simple: Good-hearted, self-sacrificing John Hackett has succeeded in making smooth the paths : other people in the play, when he suddenly realizes that he himself has been left out in the cold. He loves Hetty Rolan, whom he has seen grow from a child to charming womanhood, but in his self-effacement he dves not imagine that she could care for him, except as an old iend. It therefore comes to a point where woman proposes,” and this is adroitly ai complished through the medium of a game of chess by which they are mated for life ile it is the sentiment of the scen= which appeals to the spectator, it was the details of the game which bothered the actors. They realize that hundreds of chess players would be watching them, and that any mistake in the game would be noted and commented upon. Therefore Haslam, who is noted for the thor- ‘hich she attends to every all of her impersonation of every part, bought a small treatise on chess and pro- to coach up on the game.

Carter was a promising young teror in days, but he knew consider- ably less about stagecraft than he does now. F as cast for the part of the Count in “Sinbad,” and little Arthur Dunn. was playing the Old Man of the Sea. As Wash- ingtonians who saw this clever burlesque here some seasons ago at the Grand will Femember that, n contraversion of the Arabian Nights tale, the Old Man mounts on the Count'’s back, and clings until Sin- bad, impersonated by a womaa, gets him runk that he falls off. Now, Arthur as all wno have seen the comedian know, weighs only about inety pounds, and carrying him around through this ‘scene, which listed about five minutes, was a comparatively light task. Mr. Parry understudy for Dunn, who + ned to be off his feed at the time, 60 when the company reached St. Louis it call a rehearsal. Parry was y well up in the part, for as stage r he has the reputation of being able to jump {n and play anything at a mcmeut's notice, but he determined to have some fun at thg unsuspecting Carter's ex- pense. Parry, by the way, weighed nearly twice commenced uch as Dunn, so he “Do you think you can carry by asking me, my bo; Carter, being a sturdy youth, who prided himself upon his strength, replied that Parry was dead easy, and that he was sc- cstomed to carrying weight for oge. or s to that effect, and then the fun com- portly stage director mounted on Certer’s shoulders, and upping the wink to Louise Sissing, who was playing Sinbad, iz an, Eddie Foy end the rest bs is who were rehearsing, pro- to play the Old Man of the Sea in style. place, the precise Mr. Parry, ably knew every line in the piece ; pretended that he could not re- bis part, ‘wnd required frequent which prolonged the agony. ‘ound it impossible to get the of the scene, which he himself d, by the way, and this neces- sitated the repetition of the performance half a dozen times.

COLUMBIA THEATER.—If the Colum- bla Stock Company needed anything to es- tablish it firmly in the affections of sum- mer theatergoers, that something has most certainly been supplied by the admirable performances of “Brother John.” Gillette's “Held by the Enemy” proved the powers of the company in the melodramatic line, while Martha Morton’s domestic comedy cailled for an entirely different order of tal- | ent on the part of most of the members. That they have been able to supply both the emotional and the light comedy quall- ties proves them to be all round actors. Moreover, the present piece brings out the full numerical strength of the organization, and the fifteen speaking parts are all well filled. James O. Barrows has proved him- self a worthy successor of Wm. H. Crane in the title role, and his impersonation of the quaint Connecticut hat maker, John Hackett, is both humorous and sym- pathetic. As a result the pathetic self- Sacrifice of the character is no less effec- tive than the rollicking comedy of the scenes where he pretends to be a would-be “high roller.” Miss Maud Haslam, in the op- posite part of Hetty Rolan, displays those womanly qualities which ‘have endeared her to the Washington public, whether she appeared in comedy or emotional roles. This play also brings forward prominently a@ promising young actor in the person of John Lancaster, whose protrayal of the erring boy, Bobby Hackett, figures in one of “Brother John’s” most effective scenes. Mrs. Findlay is seen at her best in the part of Beck Hackett, for in all the his- tory of Washington summer stock com- panies there has never been a better ac- tress of eccentric female roles. “Brother John” will continue next week. GLEN ECHO. — Audran's tuneful and genuinely comic opera of “Olivette’ will be next week's offering of the Parry Opera Company at Glen Echo. In the “Mikado,” the organization proved itself one of the strongest singing companies heard here in a summer season, while some of the prin- cipals made a most favorable impression. Miss Alleen Crater, who, in the secondary role of Pitti Sing, captured the comedy honors of the feminine end of the cast, will assume the title role and much is expected of her impersonatton. George Broderick, a splendid basso as well as a good actor, will make an excellent Capt. DeMerimac, while that droll little comedian, Frank Deshon, may be expected to find some fresh humor even in the stereotyped role of Coquelicot. Harry Carter, stage mana- ger of the company, will make his first ap- pearance of the season in the tenor comedy role of the conspiring Duke des Ifs, while Miss Viola D’Armon’s contralto should be Leard to advantage in the score of the Counte: de Roussillon. Jay Taylor will pl ‘alentine, while Tom Daly as Mar- vejol, Selina Rough, as Veloutine, and Liz- zie Winner, as Moustique, complete a prom- ising cast. The chorus may be relied upon to do complete justice to the numerous concerted numbers, and special scenery and costumes have been provided for this production. LYCEUM THEATER.—There will be one specialty on the bill at the Ly- ceum next we2k with Jermon’s Black Crook Extravaganza Company that is attracting tion. In the several large in which the act has beer presented has been reczived with marked enthusi- asm, and its success is almost unprece- Gented. It comes under the title of “A Milk White B and 1s the unique con- ception of Mile ienne. As its nam: implies, the idea is de- rived from the ultra-fashionable fad of bathing in milk.

The recital hall of the Lawrence School of Music aad Elocution was crowded to its ut- most capacity on last Thursday and Fri- day evenings, the occasion being the regu- lar monthly recitals with the pupils of the school. The program Thursday evening was quite long, and each and every number Was well reczived. Miss Bessie Stewart ave several recitations and was repeatediy encored. She also gave a one-act comedy, assisted by M |. Muth, entitled “A Mouse Trap,” which kept tha audience con- vulsed with laughter from beginning to end.

They Do Not Belong to the Bigotea, Cruel, Venal People. From Harper's Weekly. We are hearing a great deal about Span- ish honor and Spanish valor from Spanish statesmen and their European admirers, and from some cf our own writers of the press. Frankly, we do not believe that the Spanish people, as a people, are distin- guished for courage beyond other people, and we know that their own boasting about their honor are as idle as the bo: ings of the New York daily press about its achievements. Many of the Spaniards are ccewards, and most of them are treacher- ous. The conduct of the commanding offi- cer at the arsenal at Cavite, after he had raised a flag of truce, is characteristic of the Spaniard. Commander Lamberton, see- ing the flag of truce, went ashore to re- ceive the surrender, when he was told that the flag of truce meant nothing, and he was surrounded by an armed guard while he conversed with the Spanish com- mender. If the guns of the Petrel had rot been trained upon the arsenal we have no doubt whatever that the Spaniards, having lured the commander and his offi- cers and men ashore by the flag of truce, would have murdered them. That they did not murder them, and did actually and firally surrender, was due to the fact that they were afraid to carry out their desires, Another incident characteristic of Span- iards was the attempt to lure the Ameri- can squadron into a narrow channel on the assurance that there were no torpe- dces there. As a matter of fact, the chan- nel was found to be as full of torpedoes as the Spaniards were of lies and treach- ery. It is always better to recognize the truth, even when the truth injures the reputation of one’s enemies. We are fight- ing a contemptible, mediaeval, and big- oted power, among whose soldiers and sailors are many brave men, but who, @3 a race, are precisely what might be ex- pected from their bigotry, their cruelty, and the venality and incompetency of their government. ————_+e+—____ Skill Will Conquer Brute Force. From the Atlantic. It is an axiom to say that with equal ships on both sides the result of a fight will depend upon the steadiness, the intelli- gence and the training of the men. After all, it is they who form the chief element “as well in these days as in the past, when our weapons and ships were of a more ele- mentary type. The ability and bravery of our people cannot be questioned. One of the finest episodes of history is the sinking of the Cumberland at Hampton Roads. Her crew went down firing the guns until the ship was sugmerged, and the flag was never lowered. In calculating the chances of victory we must take into account the disposition and character of our opponents. Any deficiency in their mechanical knowl- edge and oceigls eS on oye defeat. Bravery goes for naug! le presence of machinery, if a people be hampered by, tradition and methods belonging to the hired for the purpose. That they have courage when cornered is ibted. The distinction between those men ours is not one of bravery, but one of chanical knowledge and force, which seem likely to be determining factors in this particular war. 7 AMUSEMENTS. z AMUSEMENTS.

Continental Antipathy to This Coun- try, Not Confined to France. London Letter in Herper's Weekly. The lawlessress of the French govern- ment is reflected in the press. The unanim- ity of objurgation against England for her attitude toward Spain and the United States is now the marked feature of the French press. The Libre Parole presents to the world French opinion in miniature, when it stigmatizes England as the hypocritical ac- complice of the United States. “Their al- lance 1s,” it declares, “an ignominy; but it $s Just as well, perhaps, that they should work together, for the day upon which they will be called to account by interna- tional justice—the day when the British leech will be forced to disgorge, and Europe resolves to no longer tolerate the disgrace ot allowing the law to be laid down by such assassins and malefactors as John Bull and Brother Jonathan—then it will have reason for congratulation that they wit be able to invoke no excuse for mercy. They have been brothers in infamy, and history will sooner or later chastise them altogethe This language gives pointed, if undip matic, expression to continental antipathic that are by no means confined to France. In Germany, Austria, Russia and Italy peo- ples and governments are aniipathetie to the principles represented by the stars and stripe A dispatch from the Washington correspondent of the Londen Times that appeared on April 23 has attracted wide at- tention, because, after describing an inter- view with the President, the distingutshe correspondent says that Mr. McKinley turns a somewhat “deaf ear to the warn- ings of the European continent.” Do not let the American public make any mistake about the facts. If England is unpopular on the ccntinent it is partly be. € she is strong, and partly be: she is not only free, but the friend of free- Gom in other lands. America is disliked among the despotisms for th sons. Continental powers know that the organized armed strength of the States at the end of this war, let it end when it may, will make America a match United for the great powers, whether cific or in the Atlantic. ceive that the rescue of Cuba from Span- ish bratality will introduce the United States into the circle of the great European powers. To her will fall the disposition of the Philippine Islands, and perhaps of Mo- recco—sweet morsels hankered after by Germany, by Ja’ and by France. With the direct entry of the United States into the territorial interests of the wide world her role in the drama of the next century will be a leading one. Furthermore, the policy of Spain may be to make of the war a succession of slow campaigns, and thus to render the capture of Cuba but one incident in a long strug- gle. European nations, other than Great Britain, regard the approach to the shores of Spain of the great western influence with feelings of abhorrence, dismay and surprise. They are beginning to see that while for Spain there are two ways out ot the trouble that besets her, for the Unit States there is but one. Whatever the cost, and whatever the sacrifice, the Amer- fean republic cannot stay her hand until Spain has been driven out of her colonial empire in east and west. And, lastly, they know that whatever suffering may be caus- ed to the Spaniards, and whatever steps are taken by the United States to insure vic- tory, and however needless the war may have been, America will command the firm friendship of England. I have taken pains to discover the qualifications of the persons responsible for the principal attacks on America that have appeared in the London press, so far as they have come under my notice. In each case I learn that the writer has visited neither Spain nor the states. Alien influences have inspired utterances which no writer of true English blood could have penned. With regard to the working- men and the middle classes there is noth- ing to report. The keenest interest is taken Newspapers are published several times a day, including Sundays, but not a single daily paper of influence is found to break the consensus of anxious solicitude for the Speedy success of American arms. in the Pa- Foreigners _per- Rat With a Wooden Leg. From tho Philadelphia Times. A rat with a wooden leg is a curiosity, as curiosities go nowadays. Yet such an animal can be seen any day at the resi- dence of a man named Dugmore, in ths southwestern section of the city. About @ month ago Willie Dugmore, a lad of twelve years, found the little rodent in a trap in the cellar. His first impulse was to take the trap to an adjoining vacant lot and liberate the animal. This he did, but instead of scampering off, as he expected, the rat limped painfully up to him and began to lick his hand. Willie then dis- covered that one of the animal's legs had been almost severed by the trap. Taking the rat home, he cut the leg off and then the wound, using as a liniment little vaseline.
