theaier last night much to the disappointment
ofu large number of people who had expected
to listen to the Milan opera troupe in Nordps
aida" The musical score did not reach this
city until too late for q rehearsal of the orches-
tra. and rather than run the risk of an incom-
plete performance the management decided
to postpone the opening until tonight.
The same number of performances will be
given, however, tho programme being moved
forward one night andthc season concluding on
Saturday night instead OF with matinee, rs
was at first Intended, The interest felt In this
company, which has been so successful in
New York, is evidenced from the fact that,
although the option was presented TO those
who went to the theater last night either to
exchange their seats for some other night or
have their money refunded, less than $50 was
returned at tho box office. Tonight aida"

the cast. The repertoire for the balance Of the

THE HOOP OF GOLD.
In n1n u nF Cn1Ap
was presented for the first time In this city at
Ford's Opera house last evening. 1t is q story
of English domestic life with unlimited suf-
iering, ending in the conventional happy way.
1t had a run in London of over 700 nights.
The play is full of thrilling incidents
and exciting situations and furnishes full
scope Tor scenic display aud mechanical effects.
| The scene showing the Thames embankment
was particularly fine and effective and elected
hearty applause. The plot of the piece is an
ingenious romance of the fortunes and mis-
fortunes Of young girl who left her fathers
house to wed the one she loved.
Miss Georgia Tyler as Ruth Bullion, gave to
that character so lifelike an impersonation as
to call forth frequent and hearty applause.
Mr.. Fred. LennOX, as Scotty; Mr.. Morton, as
Richard Wrench and Walter LennoX, las Sammy
| Wetherwick, acted with u conscientiousness
OF their individual parts, and were more than
acceptable. The company is n very good one
indeed, and the play fresh and interesting

The Washington debut of this eminent for
eign actress follows the Abbott inauguration of
Albaugh's opera house, and will be the first
dramatic engagement in the new theater. Her
American debut occurred In New York Sept.
20, when she essayod the English drama for
| the first time. Her complete mastery OF
English and her cOnsummate art proved a gen.
uine revelation and won the enthusiastic ad-
mlratlon orthe press and public. The superior
artistic accomplishments OF Nine. Janish the
attractions of youth and beauty, will rapidly
win her favor on the American stage.
