AMUSEMENTS. due to the fact thattthe star character's achievement as a *flatnboyant jackass” are LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. | not solely responsible for the misunder- —The presentation of “Carmen” by the In- ternational Opera Company at the La- fayete Square Opera House last night should have been greeted by an audience of larger proportions. It would have been highly creditable to an older and more ex- perienced organization, and in the hands of cne so new the difficult work of Bizet was rendered in a manner that displayed earn- est and conscientious fidelity both to music and to plot. Madame Selma Kronold scored a distinctive triumph as Carmen. Her clear voice was fully equal to the heavy demands Upon it and her conception of her character and her depiction of the various moods and mannerisms of the wayward hoyden were both artistic. Mr. George Mitchell gave a surpisingly good rendition. of Don Jose. He has given the character evidently much faithful study and he successfuliy met its requirements as they came, each succeeding one more rigorous than the other, until in the tragic climax of the fourth act he ex- ceeded even the expectations of those who know his powers best. Winfred Goff was the toreador, and his fine baritone voice Wes heard to advantage. He did not dis- play the fire and vigor of a Campanari or a Del Puente, but he avoided the tendency to overact, which is a fault of many who have been seen in the part. Miss Morri- son’s Michaela displayed a small voice, but one that was well trained, and her interpre- tation of the part was fairly good. Miss Fields was a creditable Mercedes. There were three Washingtonians in the cast, who excited local interest. These were Messrs. Carr and Gunson and Miss Mary Helen Howe. None had a large part, but all acquitted themselves in good form. Messrs. Carr and Gunson will figure more prominently in other operas. Mis Howe made the role of Frasquila stand out More prominently than is usual and showed a soprano voice of good quality and un- usual clearness and range. It was heard to advantage in the quintet in the second ect and in the duet tn the third act. Ry the way, the quintet was better sung than it has ever been heard here before. ‘The chorus is large, well balanced as to voices and sings in good style and with abundant Nolume. The ensemble work all through the opera was unusually good. The opera was splendidly mounted, the costumes be- ing rich in color and material and the scenery effective. The orchestra is one of best that has been heard here. It is larger and more effective than that brought by Abbey, Schoeffel and Grau during the Mei- ba engagement, and it played with excel- lent precision, Signor Sapio, the conductor, having his force under good control. Tonight “Lucia’’ will be sung, with Clem- entine DeVere in the titie role. supported by Messrs. Panbianchi, Dado, Bellati and Gunson. NATIONAL TH metropolitan approval—an approval it sad to relate is seldom given no $ except to the most risque or sugges- tive plays and productions—provinci Washington last night given its taste of that decidedly Frenchy broadness in the drama which ‘seems to be on the flood tide in this country. Paul Potter's “The Conquerors,” rmuch-talked of and given the name of a Frohman—a play bear- ing which we usually accept with nothing but praise—was witnessed with suspicion and a tensity of apprehension by a large udience at the National. Upon the prin- ciple that to succeed a play must have the approval of the surfeited New Yorkers, af- flicted for the most part with ennui and apet! and that the only recommenda- tion to the New Yorker is a daring limit of morality, the playwrights are now con- structing their pleces on a s im- moral as possible, and ‘The Conquerors” is a shining exponent of this school of the latter-day theater. ‘TER.—Stemped with is In spite of the boldness of the theme the play 5 so well presenied in every detail, the characte: were portrayed in such magnificent fashion, that unstinted applause commingled with a tiny feeling of horror at the close of each scene.

One cannot help but admire the fine portrayal of objectionable characters given by the members of the Empire Thea- ter Stock Company, an organization always held by Washington playgoers in the high- est esteem, but the object of casting such admired artists in a vehicle of the stanp of Mr. Potter's play cannot be attributed to any desire on the part of Mr. Frohman to elevate the stage, but rather to profit by the sensation ‘The Conquerors” creaves wherever produced. The play deals with a band of conquer- ing Prussians, who have invaded the prov- inces of France and have en up quar- ters in a castle where two young girls have been left by their brother in the care of an old abbe. he young officers open the play with a rather disgusting dinner pa scene, for which they have Imported quintet of dancing girls from the vi The corclusion of the scene is stagy and matic, for the Grandpre girls whose being thus desecrated appeal and Yvonne, feeling herself insulted, glass of wine in Erie Von Ro- and the latter swears ven- > is ours, the French- e you shali be mine,” he shouts. The scenes that follow may hap- pen fn real life, perhaps, but they are inci- dents in our worldly career we do not care to have before us all the time and should not be on the stage, by any means. It is difficult to say aught but praise of the company. William Faversham, as the reckless, devil-may-care Eric, portrays in the best possible manner a character that dmtred at first for its audacity, but 1s weakened later by a sudden change from vice to virtue, the example being com- pletely 1 Miss Millward as Yvonne, whose love for the man supposed to have wronged her ts so great that even before he proves himself innocent she is ready to sacrifice her brother's lite for this Eric's preservation, makes the part more than the character given it by the playwright de- serves. There are a host of others whose humor and brightness lend much attra iyeness to the play and make parts of it so enjoyable that we forget the shadier sides for the nonce and are entertained. Eleanor Moretti carries out the strong character of Jeanne Marie, the wife of Bobesh, and receives much merited ap- plaus The others in the cast, all of whom deserve especial mention, are EB. Y. Backus, Joseph Wheelock, jr.. Guy Stand- ing, George Osbourne, jr., John Armstrong, ank Brownlee, Jessie Busley, May Rob- son, and a number of ad- ditional artists of like ability. COLUMBIA THEATER —The readiness with which Washington patroni: “ny theatrical egtertainment which offers rea- sonable assurance of merit was again dem- onstrated at the Columbia Theater ta night, when Mr. Stuart Robson prod his new play, “The Meddler.” The original production of this latest product of Mr. Augustus Thomas’ pen failed to secure the commendation of lead pencil and types on its initial production in New York, and there are, assuming a somewhat altitudi- nous point of view, grounds for questioning its right to rank as a snasterpiece. But the public, so often a stern taskmaster, can at times be a sweet consoler. Last night it filied the theater to the standing-room !im- it and bestowed applause with such lavish- ness as to preclude a suspicion of disap- pointment for the faith which it had in Mr. Robson's prowess as a comedian and in Mr. Thomas’ abilities as a play writer. And the satisfaction which the audience displayed was the more noteworthy because the appeal was rather to its intelligence than to its sense of the purely ludicro is. Mr. Thomas has apparently been indulging in the somewhat dangerous (for a modern farce writer) pursuit of reading up the old Fnglish plays. “The Meddler” has much of the atmosphere of Wycherly and Congreve, with. of course, none of their lapses Into extreme grossness. The pregram, which acknowledges indebtedness to New York firms for Miss Burroughs’ gowns and the scenery, might have gone farther and stated that the style is from the eartier Anglo-Saxon literature and the moral tem- perament from France. it is a curious blending of the serious ant the frivolous, for, while the chaos of rep- utations which the meddler inadvertently causes would be merely whimsical in a pic- ture of Gallic Hfe, with plain, progressive- evchre-playing people, such as Mr. Thomas introduces, it came very near causing gen- uine apprehension. This feeling is Jarzely standings. Thereds @ shadow of indiscre- Ce on the pert 6f Mrs. Banrroft, so ad- mirably played Miss Marie Burroughs, which affords a foundation the suspi- cicns entertalned by the shock-headed blun- derer impersorated by the star. The man whose renutation as avheart-breaker causes al! the difficulty is made to loom up rather disproportinately: by the very graceful personality of Mrz Theodore Babcock. Ar- tistie contempt for pocite justice ts carried , to an extreme in malting him the only per- son who lands on bothi feet without sacrifice of self-esteom, and in destowing on bim the hand of the ycung woman who ts worship- ed by a very deserving young novelist. What becomes of the novelist nodody knows. He would be guite justified in dong something desperate after the curtain has &cre down on the last act. It is in this heartless spirit that Mr. Thomas has landled his characters, weav- ing complications of the most admirable in- genulty about them, regardless of wnat their feelin;:s would be if they existed in real life. It is a wonderfully clever piece of writing; so much better than the average tbat it invokes a resentful suspicion that there was no excuse for not leaving it flaw- less. The company is the best that Mr. Robson has yet placed before his admirers. The star displays some self-sacrifice in por- traying a character which, though funny, 1s distinctly unamiabie. | The audienca showed its devotion by liking Francis El, for Mr. Robsen’s sake; humorous as he 1s, he 1s too unmitigated a boor to be encovr- aged for his own. The gratification of the audience was attested by an enthusiastte demand for a curtain speech. Mr. Robson's refusal to venture any remarks was appar- ently the only material disappointment in the evening's entertainment. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—A rather top- heavy but a very thusiastic house wel- comed the return of When London Sleeps” at the Academy of Music last night. What- ever may be the scenes depicted in the play, a healthy purpose runs through it, and, judging from the apprcval freely given by last night’s audienee, the triumph of virtue and the punishment of villainy so absorbed attention that the suggestiveness of the play was largely overlooked. The company Was composed of actors who gave their lines in the conventional melodramatic manner that was in keeping with the spirit of the play. The only bit of naturalness was exhibited by Miss Adelaide Goundre, whose Maude de Frere suggested a being seen outside of stageland. Those in the cast were Neva Harrison, Helen Jones, Ceni Havre, Julia Gilroy, Ella Schaper, Fanny Monroe, Elizabeth Wilson, May Simpson, Belle McLellan, ttle Lillie Havre, F, A. Yelvington, A. C. Henderson, Wm. E. Whitman, H. Fewclothes, Frank J. Frayne, Geo. E. Murphy, Delancey Barclay, Harry Surles, Joseph L. Meeker, Mr. Robinson and Samuel B. Stee!. GRAND OPERA HOUSE.—Once again the Grand Opera Hcuse has entered the amusement field and last night opened its doors after weeks of darkness. The initial performance was Scott Marble’s Russian drama, “Lost in Sfberia,”” and while it smacks strongly of “Siberia,” the early Russian melodrama by Rartley Camoppell, there is sufficient about it that is new to warrant support. ‘The new management of the Grand has made many improve- ments in the house and {t looks fresh and clean. Manager O. H. Butler promises great things, and says that no expense will be spared to give the amusement public the best obtainable. Ckre has been exer- cised in staging the moduction, and there 1s not a detail omitted. Costumes and Scenery acctrately portray the land of the ezar, and there is a wealth of both. In the second act there is # srowstorm realistic enough to make one shiver. Much credit ts due the able company. There does not appear to be a part badly handled and the work of several of the members was ex- cepuonally good. Lieyd Bingham as Major Karlin was a fieree villain, and while he sometimes overacted,-won the hisses of the audience, which aret-sweet music to the bad man of the stage. Helena Collier as Sophia Kuton, the persecuted maiden, in- terpreted her trying rale in an able manner. Frances Ring as Cerfaa made the most of & small part. Duneam Preston essayed the heroic xs Basil Notteff and was acceptable. Stanley Ringnold portrayed the police mas- ter in a dignified manmer, and John Martin as Ishmael lent a-fervor to his character that stamps him @s an artist. There was some comedy, ands while at times it was overdone, it was acceptable, and Frank Russell and Willlash Mitchell kept the large audience contulsed. Manager Butler de- sires to impress upon the amusement pub- Me that, while his house is a popular-priced one, the best attractions will be secured. SRNAN'S LYCEUM THEATER—Thore K are some things about the Black Crook Extravaganza Company, filling a week's engagement at Kernan’s this week, to con- demn gnd much to prai and it cannot be } designated as thoroughly first class. There seems to be ability enough in the company, but It Is not brought cut, and the special- ties have too much sameress and are badly arranged. The “Four O'Clock Club,” the name of the opening and closing burlesque, posserses merit only in spots. Graceful Grace Vaughn leads the female contingent and contributed several vocal selections. They were too high-class for a vaudeville house and fell flat. The Carlysle Sisters do well in the burlesque, but their specialty had better be omitted. Hughes and Hughes were fair, and Weston and Beasley good in a new sketch. Little and Pritzkow made the hit of the show with their clean-cut comedy creation, “A Mixed Affair,” M'le Little will be remembered as a sweet con- cert singer, while Pritzkow was for some time leading tenor with Primrose & West's minstrels. Their singing was highly en- joyed, and they received an ovation. Ben Harney, assisted by Edith Murray and Strap Hill, was entertaining in his rag-tlme specialties. Jt is in this act that much genuine merit fs lost. Harrey himself is a clever minstrel and Edith Murray does a black-face speciaity above the average: but they are capable of so much better work that it is a wonder their sketch is not revised. THE WAR-GRAPH.—The interesting fl- Yustration of the Spanish-American war, called the War-Graph, continues to draw delighted audiences to Metzerott Hall, next to the Columbia Theater. The deep interest felt by all in the subject of aur recent war with Spain finds a happy satisfaction at the War-Graph. All classes are highly enter- tained. The War-Graph is now in {ts fourth week. The great moving pictures of the boys landing at Batquiri, Cuba, and the “grand naval parade” never fail to arouse intense enthusiasm. Other views cor- respond in interest.

Major Sylvester issued an order yesterday afternoon calling the attention of members of the department to the necessity for making thorough investigations of all cases of importance. He reminds the policemen that there is something to be done besides making arrests. “it ls important that the members of the force should be familiar with all cases of importance, where persons have violated the law,” says the major in his order. Such offenses as murder, burglary, thefts and assaults are cited, and the officers, he says, should know if the perpetrators of such offenses are in custody. After calling attention to the paragraphs in the mannual governing such matters the circular, which is addressed to the Heuten- ants, concludes: “I trust, realizing the importance of this matter, you will have the members of your several commands keep such diaries as are contemplated, and that the information of failure to arrest will be given the inspec- tors daily, in order that they may report to headquarters the names or description of such persons, together with the offense for which wanted, with the name or names of the officer or officers who had charge of the beat at the time of such occurrence.” aE geen Death of Moses H.
