NEW NATIONAL THEATER —There Was a natural sense of antagonism toward “The Degeneraws,”” presented for the first time In Washington at the New National Theater }: night. The title is a glaring effort to trade on a word now recognized as of the vocabulary which verges on the for- en. After the good people of Newark, . J. had made such a demonstration as to cause the company to cut the town from its list, speculation arose as to what there could be in the piece to raise such commo- tion. There were shrewd hints that the ing of the cnief personage in the cast ld be about the most reprehensible fea- ture of the per! for Mrs. Langtry anything more amateur. But the n regar a distinguishec objec! on is in the title, which any one on the bill boards without trou- uh nself to ater..

It fs di fitted her mos Grundy. Of the gowns, let those who hay learned the mys vernacular of dry goods assume to speak. Oh, for the fluency of a floor walker in a department store to give a voice to those rhapsodies in silken unts and jeweled gleamings! Yet the milliner was outdone by the playwright. David B lasco’s much-advertised achievement with Lesile Carter was scarcely greater with Grundy’s success in fitting the oft-derided player with a piece 1n which she seems sin- cere and sympathetic, as well as beautiful ¢ first act merely introduc and @ sorry lot they . If morals and that morbid types and illicit amours banished from the stage, then let the be at once scratched from the Ust of ible entertainments. In palliation {t be noted that the types are no more found in the Ibsen that the intrigues are frustrated and marriage arranged for the hero and if not happily, at least decorously ever after. The Sot, the roue, the debauche are ail on exhi- Dition. Yet in each the penaltics and not the pleasures of irregular life are made conspicuous. Into this environment of go- cial taint comes a young girl, whose inno- nee exercises a purifying power and clears the atmosphere as sunshine clears a mist. She is sweetly unconsctous of her own power for good, and by her passive prese wholly changes a condition which meant domestic misery and social disgrace to those about her. Surely no melodrama- tist has ever offered a more beautiful or convincing picture of virtue triumphant. weaving the question of propriety In a choice of theme to take care of Itself, and considering it simply as a Mterary work, Mr. Grundy’s play must be unreservedly ap- proved for the force and simplicity of its situ the probability of its characters and brilliancy of its language. \gtry'’s work as an actress is dis- y wood; so good, indeed, as to obliit- the tmpression which she has never nee, that her celebrity hag ined by her advertising off the rather than by her work upon it. an actress who cared to be consid- serious In her art, her playing of “Mrs. would be accepted as a most ng achicvement. mpany did not impress favorably but improved on acquain- ick Kerr hed perhaps the most {mperiant position in the supporting s the Duke of Orme, who, at the sion of the play, so admires Mrs. yan's sacrifice in assuming the bur- den of a scandalous situation to save the repu' n cf a foolish young wife, that he marries her.

Possibly there is a disposition to be over charitable toward “The Degener- a because of the fearful things people had been led to expect. But it has the advantage of being written by a brainy man. Its topics, however distasteful they muy be, are at least discussed with the diction of a scholar and not with the ri- baldry of the buffoon. Remembering the bad name which pre- ceded “The Degenerates” it was surprising to see so Many congressmen present. Con- gressmen with long white patriarchal whis- kers, congressmen with cavalierly mus- taches and congressmen with faces una~ dorned. It is feared that eee wendiemen are largely responsible for any impressions which may exist that Washington is not 3 Puritanical city. When it was all over no one displayed the slightest resentment be- cause, by adopting a disguise of utter viciousness, Mrs. Langtry had lured him to see a really clever Mterary comedy. Se es oe resented Espey Williams’ romantic com- bay, “The Duke's Jester,” at the Columbia Theater last night. The play 1s new to Washington and was received with much favor. Mr. Willlams has selected the ro- mantic period at the close of the fifteenth century as the time of his play, and the picturesque court of the Duke of Milan as its locale. From a literary standpoint It 1s dignified and bears much of the poetic feel- ing of the velvet and lace existence that marked the renaissance in Italy. Cold nine- teenth century criticism in an atmosphere of love making and clandestine meetings is, in the main, as anachronous as a snow ball in July. The pains of prose have no place when Romeo, even though he be in motley, goes forth with a rose in his ear to mix with the mad revelers of the carnival in order that he may rescue his Juliet from the pafd bravos of a dissolute noble. The story of the play has more to do with epi- sodes than with the evolution of a sus- tained plot, and the situations unfold in graceful sequence. Mr. Warde as Gecco the Jester, who must hide his love for the fair Nina de Borgio under a mask of fool- ery, displayed an intelligent appreciation of judicious comedy that will doubtless prove an agreeable surprise to those who have seen him only in tragic parts. ‘The Duke's Jester” is in four acts. It deals with four Miss Molly Elliot Seawell, the authoress, and Miss Ella Loraim Dorsey. The program will#be ds follows: Duet, ‘cello and harp, (a) le Cygne, Saint Saeus; (>) Minuetto, HugodBecker—Miss Lillian Littiehales and Mise Josephine Sullivan.

CLARENCE EDDY <RECITAL.—This famous organist, whose recital tonight at the First Congregational Church will be the first ever played in Washington by an or- ganist of international fame, will be greet- ed by a brilliant audience representative of the best of the musical and social life of the capital. Administration cireles and the diplomatic corps will be well represented. For the next four or five seasons Mr. Eddy will devote his time entirely to concert tours on the continent and in England, and very likely will make a concert tour around the world. Of his last recital in Paris at the Trocadero Le Figaro, May 28, 1899, says: ‘The concert given by Mr. Clarence Eddy at the Palais du Trocadera on Thurs- day afternoon was an arustic success of the highest order. ‘The numerous and fash- fonable audience, which included many well-known leaders of Parisian society and the most distinguished members of the English and American colonies, applauded, CADETS ON PARADE. High School Regiment's Annual Re- view T! Afternoon. = The régiment of High School Cadets will give its annual dress parade and review on the ellipse of the White House this afternoon. The eight companies have been ordered to rendezvous at the intersection of 18th street and New York avenue at 4:15 o'clock. Headed by the United States Marine Band, the cadets, after a short street parade, will put in appearance on the Grill field. The organization will be re- viewed by General George H. Harries, com- Manding the District of Columbia militia, and his staff. A number of interesting features will be included in the exhibition. The regiment will be commanded by Colo- nel R. D. Adams. The Central High School will be represented by Companies A, B, C and D; the Business High School by Com- pany E; the Eastern School by Companies F and G, and the Western School by Com- pany H. The annual company competitive drill of the High School Cadets will occur May 23 and 24. The four companies of the 2d Bat- talion will drill the afternoon of the 23d instant, while the four companies of the ist Battalion are scheduled to face the judges the afternoon of the 24th instant.

PADEREWSKI.—There are so many @reat pianists in these days, and in many cases you can take the measure of the Pianist by the overflowing measure of his mannerism. Paderewski stands alone; his face an impassive mask, that is always the first Impression which he gives one. But it is a very subtle mask, and beneath ft is a keen watchfulness, a keen appreciation, and never, thanks to the gods, a trace of affectation. His technique is so simple yet so expert, and, above all, he has the name- less quality, sometimes miscalled magnet- ism, sometimes cant-phrased as personality, which baffles all. The last opportunity of hearing the great Polish pianist in this city will be offered on Friday afternoon at the Columbia Theater at 4:15, when he will present a program made up entirely from Chopin's works. The sale of seats has been progressing splendidly at Droop's Music store and the usual Paderewski au- dience is sure to be in attendance. <_< Senator Depew to Lecture. An arrangement has been made under which Senator Chauncey M. Depew will de- liver an address tomorrow evening for the benefit of Christ Church, Georgetown. The lecture will be given at Linthicum Hall, be- ginning at 8 p.m., and a musical program will follow it. The Best Medicine Toney Can Buy is Hood’s Sarsaparilla—It Never Disappoints. It possesses greatest merit; has the greatest ecles; accomplishes the greatest cures, If you are sick, you want to get well. If You are feeling “not exactly right,” you want to be put right, and for this purpose you should take the best medicine your money-can buy. You should take the medicine that will cure you—the medicine that will set you right, and you should take it first and not experiment with unknown Preparations. ‘The medicine that will put you right rupting influences of the duke’s court, and secures his marriage to the Lady Bonnetta. In the end he wins for himself the fair ward of De Borgio by chance. While Gecco is masquerading as the duke she tells him of her love for the jester and urges It as the reason for annulling her distasteful marriage with Count Maletesto, which had taken place at the real duke’s order. The situation is a pretty one, and in it Minnie Tittell Brune, the leading lady, displays an amount of dramatic force which at the outset one would scarcely have expected. The cast is a large one and lends even and generally satisfactory support to the star. Charles D. Herman as the Duke of Milan, whose likeness to the jester occasions many of the most taking situations of the play, gaye an easy and graceful iInterpre- tation of the part. Frank Hennig as Lu- dorico, the dissolute brother of the duke, and Alex. McKenzie as the governor of the palace, John Sturgeon as the Count Ma- letesto and Charles L. Clark as Florio, the young lover, gave intelligent consideration to their efforts. Miss May Warde, a daugh- ter of the star, was pleasing and vivacious. Miss Loulse Meredith as Dona Lisa, Eliza Purcell as Countess de Polenta and Doro- thy Wilson as Adalina, a maid, filled the remaining female roles acceptably. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—John Kernell, tn “The Hustler,’ was the attraction at the Academy of Music last night, and a large audience was laughing continuously through the three acts of the farce. The play was constructed for laughing purposes only, and its reception emphatically {indorsed the ideas of the playwright. The story tells of Mrs. Bluff’s marriage to “The Hustler,” believ- ing her first husband to have been killed in the Philippines, and the latter marrying a dusky maiden of those islands to keep from being massacred. The first husband returns in the second act, followed by the Philip- pine lady, and of course the fun 1s fast and furious. In the third act eyerything !s straightened out satisfactorily. Specialties are introduced during the three acts, and all were clever and pleasing. John Kernell was not heard in his well-known monologue un- til the last act, but his efforts were so hu- morous that everybody went home pleased. The singing and dancing of Eugene Weiner and Misses Hamlin, Gilmore, yanrd and Hart were of the popular order, and were well received. Hon. Chauncey M.

A hasty trip to New York followed and the Bijou opened yesterday with the following olfo: Powers, the great Irish comedian and mimic; Val Vino, a jug- gler with unusual cleverness; the two chips of the old block, Pat and Mattie Rooney, who were well received; the well-known comedians, Sherman and Morrisey, who also made a hit; Perry and Hyland, clever dancers and singers, a turn full of. ginger and novelty; the Acme Four, who danced and sang themselves into favor and were cheered to the echo for daring acrobatic work and numerous comedy hits. Miss An- nie Hart, Mr. Cliff Farrell and Gruet, Beers and Gruet concluded the bill with turns far above the ordinary, the latter especially being commendable for humorous and daring work upon the horizontal bars.
