house was flied with q fashionable audi
cnce and the good points IN the play were

ALBAUGH' s-RoBERr DOWNING.
Robert Downing has secured perma.
nent niche in the temple Of legitimate
tragedy. He appeared at Albaugh's last
night in "The Gladiator" play made
famous by the greatest tragedians and
one to which Mr.. Downings splendid
physique especially adapts him. The au-
dience was not extra large, but II was
generous in manifestations of approval.
The fact that Mr.. Downing comes from
this city has caused his career to he
watched with especial interest by the
Washington public. II is pleasing to
note that at each visit he shows q certain
degree of improvement. His voice has
lost much OF the harsh quality which
marred his performance when he last APP
peared here, and his general department
brought out the strong points of his char
acter effectively and intelligently.
While he has some of the faults of the
young actor, they are shadowed by the
great natural ability and patient cultiva-
ton which are at all times evident. His
support is not especially strong, and
its members do not succeed in signally dis
tinguishing themselves, although they
meet the requirements of their assign
ments. The scenery is worthy of special
mention, and the realism of the arena
scene is almost startling in its truth to
nature. Again tonight.
HARRIS BIJoU--''oN THE FRONTIER"
James M. Hardie and Sarah Won Leer
drew good house at the opening per.
formances of "onthe Frontier yesterday
The play is OF the sensational type, anc
bristles with startling climaxes brought
about by bloodthirsty Indians, beautl
full helpless maiden and somewhat linn
tied band of militia. The elements o.
popularity are evidently all there, for tn,
performance was followed by the audi
ence with enthusiastic interest. = In,
house was full, and the saIIs result will
follow at every performance. Twic,
every day
HERMAN 'S-RENTz-sA COMPANY.
An excellent olio programme is Offered
the patrons of Kernan's this week. The
house was crowded to the doors last night
and the various specialties were received
with warm applause. The entertainment
concludes with wrestling exhibition, il
which "The Jap Sorakichi agrees II

forward inside oftwenty minutes or for
| felt $50. Nobody has won the fifty dol
lars yet. Again tonight.
