NEW NATIONAL THEATER—The Pleasure which attaches to a bi even performance, however light mag be the subject matter, 1s always to be found in a production for which Daniel Frohman is sponsor. The intelligence of the cast and the skillful direction to which Its members respond so efficiently have more than once served to provide an evening's entertain- ment fn spite of a fimsy plot and a rather ordinary vein of dialogue. It was the com- pany rather than the play which caused the manifestations of pleasure last night. “The Maneuvers of Jane” serves chicily to display Mary Mannering in the guise of a charming vixen. who, as a matter of fact, descend to as much subterfuge r own Way as the title might - The young man with whom she ve finds her far more charming than He is 4 manly youngster named applies her ingenuit making life a burden to all who seek to in: fere with her attachment to orge,”” and inefdentally in uid her devoted lover him- self in her peppery attentions. The char- acter is deliciou: untrue to nature. No young woman in real life could have been such a spitfire and continued so lovable. But lovable ghe {s, and her tyranny over nd her is delightfully plaus- ere Were times when the auditor ted himself that he was on the safe side of the foo , Outside the area of disturbance. This young woman's irri- tation ts largely due to the determination oft her father that she shall become the wife of “Lord Bapchild,” a young man who thinks himself wondrous wise; who jumps into the bramble bush of feminine intrigue and comes out as blind as Cupld himself. The determination of an amiable disciple of “Becky Sharp" to marry him forms a thread of interest interwoven with the main narrative concernii the fortunes of “Jane” and her “George.” Ferdinand Gotts- chalk played “Lord Bapcbild.” He isunques- tlonably of the leading comedians of the English-speaking stage. He fs wonder- fully equipped in mobility of countenance everybody ib! je: but ngraAtu, in Vocal unetion and in facility of pyse. Whatever he does fits the situation to a nicety. He has an ir tinctive quality of bred ease, which prevents the sugges- : ss which might assert itself an attempted to do the same am F, rtenay realized the tempestuous affections and some excellent bits character work are contributed by Wm. . George C. Poniface, Mr. Charles well and les Walcot. Miss the lady whose matri- signs on “Lord Bapchild” are ulti- successful. of the Blanche Kelleher as the incorrigible child was one of the people In the cast. Incklents are developed in abundance without any exceptional ingenuity. But the fortunes of the cleverly drawn characters are followed with interest and amusement through elopements and surreptitious cor- respondence and the other famillar expe- dients of the playwright. There could, of course, be but one con- clusion to a comedy—the young people con- quer paternal objection and “Jane” marries “George.” Poor “George!” COLUMBIA THEATER.—De Wolf Hop- per and his merry company held forth to a large and fashfonable audience at the Columbia Theater last night In Sousa and Klein's comic opera, “The Charlatan.” The opera has been improved since its former visit here and has acquired a slight English flavor that does not detract from tt enter- taining qualities. The interpolations in the work when it was first given in London have been retained, and they round out the production and give it sym. metry. Musically speaking, there is no need of a description of the opera for the benefit of Washington people, who are, as a rule, familiar with Sousa’s compositions. The swing that characterizes all his work is there. His solos and duets in this opera are written with more grace and have more real music than any of his other efforts of the kind. The “Charlatan” march, of course, is the keystone of the music, and it was sung last night, both by principals and chorus, in a most’ effective style. De Wolf “Hopper is all that could be desired in the role of the mountebank. He ts, like the circus, ever new and ever pleasing. Mr. Hopper has al- Ways enjoyed the best of good wishes on —_——+ the part of theatergoers in this city, and his reception last night atfested the e: h regard in which he is held. He was called before the curtain at the énd of the first act, but pleaded to be excused from making @ speech because the one he had-prepared would not fit in at that particular time. He was called out again at the end of the sec- ond act, and this time was forced to say a little more about his trip abroad and him- self. De Wolf Hopper is probably cleverer at this sort of business than any comedian in the profession, and this little talk was one of the hits of thé show. While Hopper was the only one called upon for a epeech, all the members of the company shared in the generous applause. Harold Blake, in the part of “Prince Dorts,” was handsome and sang with much grace and feeling. His opening solo was roundly applauded. Charles W. Swain, as ‘Jelikoff,"” the dimin- utive tragedian, makes a sufficiently good foil for Hopper. The other male parts, though sma'l, were acceptably filled by Harry P. Stone, as the captain of the guards; Harry Preston, as ‘‘Koreff;’ Mark Price, as “Gogol; Henry Norman, as the “Grand Duke,” and Charles Arthur, as a showman. Henry Norman was forced to respond to an emphatic encore with his solo, “The Soldiers of the Czar," which is one of the musical gems of the opera. Nella Bergen is seen in the familiar role of “Anna,” the daughter of the traveling mountebank. She sings the part intelll- gently and forceful'y and her voice showed none of the ill effects that are supposed to follow a stay in London during the winter. Ida Lester, as “Sophia,” and Annie Cam- eron, as the “Grand Duchess,” were accept- able. More interest centered in the part of “Katrinka,” perhaps, than in any other in the cast. It is filled by Jessle Mackaye, who is vivacious and graceful and acts in a highly intelligent manner. Her chic and quaint mannerisms make her per- formance one of the most enjoyable fea- tures of the opera. She was recaled time and again to repeat with Hopper their laughable duet in the second act. The cho- Tus {s entirely adequate in a musical sense and was forced to repeat several numbers. ‘The scenery and costumes are in line with the lavish policy which characterize all Hopper production LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE. —After a period of darkness the doors of the Lafayette Square Opera House were opened last evening to admit an audience of fair propor , the attraction being M. M. Theise’s “Wine, Woman and Song. The entertainment consisted of six vaude- ville acts, followed by an operatic burletta in one scene. According to the program, “Wine. Woman and Song” had no place until the burletta was reached. Then, it developed, as the author frankiy admit; the tile sounds pretty, but has absolutely nothing to do with the burletta. Whatever suggests itself in the way of adverse crit- ioism must be tempered with the knowledge that the greater part of the audience was thoroughly well pleased with the greater portion of the sho’ At times the ap- plause was actually vociferous, and so de- termined that response had to be made to encores. Some of the acta were not new and many of the songs and sayings were in the same class. Other parts of the olio, however, were above the average. The first number was given by Kine and Gotthold, who are announced as comedy character duettists. Next the three Rackett brothers did a musical turn that possessed merit. Mazuz and Mazett have a comedy acrobatic turn, after which the Jennie Eddy trio had a chance to make good, and it did so. The trio consists of Miss Eddy and the Russian midgets, Itski and Philoski. They sang coon songs in costume, and would have re- mained on the stage all evening if the au- dience could have dictated absolutely. Shee- han and Kennedy presented a familiar Irish comedy sketch. The ollo was closed by Bennett and Rich, the well-known {l- lustrators. The burletta is the vehicle on which several additional specialties moved along. NEW GRAND OPERA HOUSE—An en- tertaining program is presented at the New Grand this week, and last night a large audience Was interested and amused for the greater part of three hours. There was the usual line of vaudeville and one or two noveities. The regulation turns were up to the standard and the novelties were of a character to be appreciated, the principal figure in the st being Camille D'Arville of ic fame. One of the most interesting of the show was the singing of Baby Lund. As a rule, infant phenomena on the stage—espect udeville stage are to be depreca ashington has had several occasions to frown upon them recently. But this little girl is a wonder. A mere slip of a thing, with the face of great beauty, she sings in a clear, sustained voice that echoes all through the house, and her command of facial expression is mar- velous~ Louis Fialkowski imitated the cries of animals in a turn which delighted the} f duo, in Russian audience. The Metwe acrobatic dancing, gave an exhibltion to the time of a Cossack air. Eugene Ellsworth and Madge Burt detained the audience with their original comedietta. Camille D'Ar- ville, In Vocal selections, Was charming as always and brought an encore. Tom Mack, the black-face cemedian, always funny, maintained his record. The juggling, and acrobatic feats of the three Onris was a phenomenal exhibition in that line. The program closed with Prof. Macart's dog and monkey comedians in an interesting act. LYCEUM THEATER.—Manager Kernan presents the High Rollers Burlesque Com- pany at the Lyceum this week. While ft is true this ts the second appearance of the company here this season, !t proved none the less entertaining to the large audiences which attended both performances yester- day. It ts a very capable organization, with two well-written burlesques Interpreted by alt y company made up of pretty women, er specialty artists and funny com: ans. ‘The Paris Exposition" is the title un- ch the opening burlesque struggles. e after the old-fashioned recipe of - women, a few comedians, gestive joke or two and a chorus. @ little more to the closing burlesque, which is named after the big Daly produc- tion, “The Great Ruby."” In the olio there considerable entertainment.

Cooper and Reynolds contributed some new jokes. THE NEW AND ANCIENT soUTH— The Harrison Bros. ented an enter- tainment entitled “The New and Ancient South” before a good-sized and well-pleas- ¢d audience last night under canvas at 14th and V streets. The company is com- posed of coiored talent and displays some gay and elaborate costumes, The first feature on the bill Is the representation of the south of the present, during which many amusing rag-time and coon songs are sung. The closing of the bill is an fl- lustration of the south forty years ago, showing a cotton plantation and the times of slavery. It 1s a big show and serves to exploit the Afro-American as an enter- tainer to great advantage. Two perform- ances will be given daily the remainder of the week, at 2 and § p.m. THE MIDWAY CARNIVAL.—The Frank C. Bostock Mighty Midway Carnival Com- pany, with its carloads of trained wild an- ima’s and general show paraphernalia; ar- rived in this city late last night from Greater New York, and early this morning the National Base Ball Park was trans formed into a gay Midway Platsance, a counterpart of that seen at the great world’s fair in Chicago.

Mrs. Maria Shea, wife of John Shea of 325 Maryland avenue southwest, died sud- denly about 9:30 o'clock last night. Mrs. Shea had been complaining for several days and had been confined to her home, but a Physician had not been called. When her condition became serious members of the family were called to her bedside and med- ical aid was summoned, but she died before the physicians arrived. Mrs. Shea was a native of Ireland, and was fifty-six years old. She came to this country in 1861, and had lived on Maryland avenue between 3d and 4% streets ever since. During her residence in this city she became wealthy, and, ft is stated, owned more than twenty houses in South Washington. Several years after she start- ed in business with her husband she had trouble with several policemen which re- sulted In the death of an officer, who went with several others to the house to serve a warrant. Mrs. Shea resisted arrest, claiming that the biuecoats had no authori- ty to make a search. She grabbed a re- volver and was ordering the officers out of her house when one of them grabbed her. During the scuffle the weapon was dis- charged and Policeman Frank Doyle was killed. Mrs. Shea was tried on a charge of killing the officer and acquitted. About five years ago one of Mrs. Shea's sons was killed by a man with whom he had a difficulty, who stabbed him in the eye with an umbrella staff. During recent years the Sheas have con- ducted a grocery store and Mrs. Shea has done a great amount of charitable work. A number of grown children survive her. Her funeral will take plaee Thursday morn- ing. — CARS AT THE CROSSINGS. Complaint Made of a Violation of the Regulations. Complaint was recently made to the Dis- trict Commissioners by Mr. Arthur W. Har- rison that the cars of the 7th street line do not stop unless to take on or let off passen- gers before crossing the steam railroad tracks at Virginia and Maryland avenues, nor at the electric road crossings at F, 4, 9th and 11th streets. Ona recent occasion, he said, a car that he was on made no stop, but shot across within less than half a block in front of an express train on Mary- lend avenue, about 10:40 p.m. The con- ductor, when asked about it, said he did not know whether there was any order or rule about stopping. Mr. Harrison said he could furnish, if desired, a record of the violations of the law requiring the street cars to stop before making the crossing: The Commissioners referred the complaint to the police department, and after an in- vestigation Major Sylvester has reported that the operators of the street cars have cecastonally been recklees in the matter of taking proper precautions at the steam railroad crossings. But it appears that the street car employes at fault have been disciplined, and there has been no notice- able negligence of late. At those crossings where special police- men have been placed by the Commission- ers Major Sylvester says the officers are not negligent. ‘The police department, he states, has repeatedly directed a strict’ en- forcement of the law, not. on! to street cars, but as to all other vehic Ses Additional Contribations.
