-GH'S OPERA HoUSE-The tendency


always noticeable in French stage personages,
seems to prevail to an unusual degree among
the characters OF Audran's ''Serment u Amour,
An English adaptation OF which. called 1.-The
Golden Hen," was produced at Albaughs last
night. This tendency, of course, is commonly
the source OF the fun, but whether there is alto
gether too much OF IL in "The Growing Hen" or
because the ladies and gentlemen Of the cast
had not SO fully mastered their complicated
relations to feel sufficiently at ease to be
funny, certain ii is that last nights perform
ance was not conspicuous Tor laughter-provok-
more or less unsatisfactory In this respect, and
OF course The Golden Hen will improve as
the week goes on. Ii would also be unfair TO
judge OF the quality OF the score from last
nights Imperfect rendition. The duet between
Miss Winston and Miss Searle i'll the first act is
pretty, and was SO well rendered as To receive
NATIONAL THEATER.-"The Black Hussar"
entered upon the second week OF Its career at
ceiyed with the usual manifestations OF pleasure
by the audience. The cast was the same AS be-
fore.
ONE OF WAsHINGToN's GREATEST ATTRAc-
TIoNS.-No visitor to the national capital should
fail to see the wonderfully realistic cycorama
OF the second battle of Bull Run on exhibition
In this city. No written description can give
even a faint idea of the perfection of the tllu-
sion. One seems magically transported in a
moment from the city streets into the middle
of a hercely contested battle field so artiuily
is the perspective and coloring managed that
the spectator seems to be standing on a COM
manding height, in the open air, with wide
stretches of field and forest all about him. SO
that apart from the historical interest of the
painting it would be worth many times the
price OF admission to see the landscape. The
excellent ventilation of the building heIghtens
the effect, for even on hot day the air
is as fresh and cool as that in shady places in
the public parks.
