The Theatre Comique.
at the ComIque the event of the evening was
the appearance of Lulu Delmay. 1t was in
Washington, some three years ago. that her
talent as a singer was recognized, and since that
time she has steadily advanced in public estina-

Of Miss Annie Story. The talent brought to-
gether will be unusual. Professors Benkert and
Geoetzner, two Of the ablest pianists in the

the popular course there will undoubtedly be a
rush. There is a very comical caricature OF him

Avenue Theatre.
The Avenue theatre, newly and attraetively
fitted up, and under the management of a
thorough gentleman, is deserYedly winning Al
excellent patronage. The programme fof this
week includes the names of Minnie Lee, who, in
song and dance, is a host within herself and
unequaled on the horizontal bar, and the Love

dances aud songs, and Jessie Howard, always
ready with her work on the stage, and besides
these there is q long list Of performers noted for
their talent on the variety stage. Good houses
will be the order all through the week.
Jesse Shepard.
In the estimation of very many people, noted
for their Judgment and discrimination, Mr.. Jesse
Shepard is the best singer and the best piano
forte player living. At present he is in Washing
ton, and at the Imperial hotel, just returned from
a protracted visit in Europe. It is probable that
one select grand concert will be given in Mr..
Shepard's honor, under the patronage of the press
OF Washington. Concerning his phenomenal
voice, we have only TO say that while most oper-
attic tenors think they shake the foundations ofthe
world in taking high q, he takes high Z with
perfect eomposure, and this is two notes higher
than even Mario ever attempted.

Story has her .complImental benefit. We trust
the talented and much-respected lady will be
handsomely sustained. Jim" CoWardin assists
