I has been the recipient of praise whos warmth can leave no doubt of its reliavil There is alw: sa reflex of popular opinion, and he may be regarded as firmly his stellar succes as a Shake: terpreter. The way to classic laurels is long and arduous, but it is well worth the journey, for eminent tragedians are never numerous, and the advent of one whose capabilit! are recognized is an occasion of artistic importance in every community. Mr. Hanford has a strong supporting com- ny and stage equipment which will cn- him to present the dramatic master- pieces with complete attention to detail. COLUMBIA THEATER.—Frank Daniels has almost become an institution in Wash- ington. He will make his annual bow here Monday night at the Columbia. It is uni- versally ackncwledged by all traveling theatrical managers that Kirke La Shelle' production of “The Wizard of the Nile’ and “The Ido Eye,” with Daniels as the bright, particular star, have been the greatest money-winners of all the light op- era companies of th country. This may seem an exaggerated statement, but it is nevertheless a truthful one, and, better than anything else, it shows the popularity and worth of the mos pieces eve This be successful musical n by Americans. ntation of the works will the same elaborate ule that first made them the talk of New York. In view of the degeneracy which is frequently regrettably noticed in succe: ful operatic productions as they increase in upon age, it may be wise to’ repeat Mr. La Shelle’s personal gu tee that his organ- ization and the entire production of the present season will positively be as costly and as perf ery detail as was ever before the Since last season “The eceived the compliment of a German in New York city, Wizard presenta. on nd by a magn etion in London.

LAFAYPTTE SQUARE OPERA HOU —Old friends are always welcome; there fore a great many of our readers will he glad to hear that Mr. Denman Thompson and his famo: ew England drama, “The Old Homestead,” is again with us. The ever welcome, whole-souled, down- farmer is again upon his annual visit to Washington, making, as usual, his h quarters at yette Square Ope There is little new that can be s homespun drama, {ts lines, nd climaxes being as famihar as the s of our childhocd.

Few, if any, pro- ductions have the many qualities of ‘The Old Homestead.” The simplicity and hon- i hful and mo teach, none overdrawn, ral as life, all add greatly toward making it the brightest and most brilliant star in the theatrical firma- ment. AT le The play which y it at the New ater, beginning Monday night, week's engagement, was adapted from the French of Bisson and Leclerq, by William Gillette, and is the first work from his pen since he wrote the now fam- ous rvice.” The title of the piece is “Because She Loved Him §o,” which is in a manner explanatory of the story it tells.

Saxon and Brooks are a “team” new to the vaudeville stage, having been recruit- ed from the ranks of the legitimate; they appear in a refined operatic comedy sketch.

Manager Kernan has secured the best service for the reception of election returns Tuesday night, and his patrons will be kept promptly posted during the performance. “THE BELLE OF NEW YORK."—Many and memorable have been the successes scored at the New York Casino, especially since the guiding hand of George W. Led- erer took the helm at this renowed estab- lishment. But with the solitary exception of “Erminie” of years ago, nothing ema- nating from this house has hit the popular fancy so squarely as ‘‘The Belle of New York,” by Messrs. Hugh Morton and Gus- tave Kerker. Running in a direction slightly divergent from the conventional comic operas, it covers 2 somewhat newer field. Its strong local color and its very up-to-dateness quickened popular interest in the scheme which Mr. Morton elaborated in lieu of a plot. The characters are all familiar types, cleverly sketched and en- tertainingly enjoyable throughout the three acts. Mr. Kerker’s music found happy in- spiration in the characters and incidents of the author’s theme, and the book and score combined te afford Managers Leder- er and McLellan an opportunity to vital- ize and embellish the scene in a manner that not only astonished and delighted the natives of Manhattan, but also excited the frantic applause of the blase public of London. It was owing to the fact that London has refused to let go its hold upon “The Belle of New York,” at the Shaftes- bury ‘theater, that Messrs. Lederer and McLellan found it necessary to supply a new company, with a complete and costly equipment, to fill the engagements made for “The Belle” im this country during the seson now at hand. This new organization from the Casino will make its first appear- ance a week from Monday at the Lafayette At the head of this coming “Belle” com- pany Is Mr. Dan Daly, who as a gloom dissipator needs no eulogium. THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE.—“The Tree of Knowledge,” which has been booked at the National for the week of No- vember 14, has for its star James K. Hack- ett, who is making his first annual tour un- der Daniel Frohman’s management. For the t three years Mr. Hackett has been a member of Mr. Frohman’s Lyceum The- ater Company, having made his first suc cess in “Tne Home Secretary” and follow- ing this with a substantial hit in the title Since role of “The Prisoner of Zenda.” then he has appeared to advanta First Gentleman of Europe,” Mr. Castello,” “The Mayflower, Courtship of Leonie’ and “The Princess and the Butterfly.” Last season he played in “The Tree of Knowledge” during most of the resular season in New York. EDISON WARGRAPH.—Moving pictu of the war with Spain, next Columbia Theater, are full of interest, and continue to attract gcod crowds. These pictures are both instructive amé entertaining, and weil repay a visit to thesexhibitions. The views excellent reproductions of actual s of the war. Mr. PRIEST'S GECTURE.—Mr. W. Ed- win Priest was introduced at the First Bap- tist Church last night by Dr. L. D. Lodge of the Columbian Umiversity, who felicito ly and briefly reviewed the Spanish situa- tien. The lecture, “Spain and Her Losi Colonies,” was most appreciatively and en- thusiastically received, the beautiful set- ting of music provided by Prof. Percy S. Foster, with Miss Ivy Herriott as soloist, adding very greatly/to the pleasure of the occasion. a ART ANDC ARTISTS. At 4:30 this afternoon the members of the Water Color Club: will hold a merting in Miss Bertha Pergie’s studio to elect the officers of the club for the coming year. This is the first meeting of the season, and many details concerning the approaching exhibition will also come up for considera- tion, Yesterday and today were set aside for the reception of pictures for this cx- hibit, but it will be two weeks before the display is thrown open to the public. Am- ple time will thus be allowed for hanging the pictures with most careful judgment, and for the preparation of a catalogue em- beilished with numerous illustrations. * * x The annual meeting of the Society of Washington Artists will be held next Tues- day evening at the new gallery on Connec- ticut avenue, and the yearly election of officers for this organization will take place. When the business of the evening has been transacted the members look for- ward to a pleasant social time. * * It is reported that the collection of pic- tures and art objects owned by Senor Men- donca, who has now retired to private life, will be sold in New York this winter, and the dispersal of a collection made with such care and discriminating taste will be looked upon with regret by many. Picture buyers will, however, hail It with delight, and the event will be watched with great interest. * x Miss Mathilde Mueden, who returned from her three years’ sojourn abroad a few weeks ago, has not as yet formulated any plan for opening a studio here, and it is quite Mkely that she may eventually locate in New York. She left Washington a student—she returns an artist thorough- ly equipped to strike out for herself in an independent way. She has not been out of the influence of the schools long enough to have formed a distinctly individual style, but she has acquired through her course of study the sound knowledge that ts the first essential to success. She brought back lit- tle work aside trom the regular studies made in the schools, as the only important things that she painted in her own studio were portraits, and necessarily passed out er, of her possession. She has, howe he exhibited in the S: head, strongly modeled In the f the of and lowing year she to the Salon a portrait which showed arked advance over her first contrib and during the past summer she com- pleted a full-length portrait, which may be considered Fer chef d'veuvre. ther imperfect testimony mall photographs one gets an idea of the guiet dignity of the pose and the sim- piicity end breadth with which it is han- ded.

Aw interesting fare. that bas been doaned for exhibition is the large ol paint ng by Mss Helen Frances Colburn. The picture, which is illustrative of Longfelléw’s poem “The Skeleton in Armor,” bears the title “The Viking und the Princess’ and the subject has been d worked out with ¢onsctentious care. In a room on the main floor, which is filled large- ly with loan exhibits, there are a number of new paintings, perhaps the most important of which are the portraits of Lincoln and Sumner by William Morris Hunt, There ts also displayed in this room a group of maf- ble busts by Mrs. Adelaide Johnson, includ- ing likenesses of Susan B. Antacr Dr. Caroline B. Winslow, Mrs. Lucretia Mott and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. fs B.

The pose of the figure sug- gests energy and force, and both in the drawing and in the color it shows Mr. Meyer's best style. Another interesting pertrait which is now in his studio is the large figure of Dr. Monroe, professor of chemistry at Columbian University. When completed, it promises to be a very good likeness, and interesting from an artistic standpoint as well. * * The Salmagundi Club has secured studios at 620 17th street, and will hold a meeting Monday, November 7, at 3:30 p.m. A large attendance is promised, as the program for the winter is to be arranged. During the spring and summer meetings, at which the students spent most of their time in sketching, were held in the open air, but for winter meetings the club has been so fortunate as to secure large rooms where the exhibitions, art talks, etc., can be held. * * * tions open in New Two important ex York next week, the display of the New York Water Color Club, which opens to- morrow, and the fall exhibit of the Nation- al Academy of Design, which begins on Monday. Some of the local artists are usually represented in both of these ex- hibitions, and to that of the Water Color Club in particular there will probably be several contributors this year.
