No actor who has cultivated the field Of
burlesque in recent years has made such
q crop of money and reputation as has
Henry Il. Dixey in "Adonis." For two
years this player filled the Bijou in New
York with delighted audiences, and
more than filledthe pockets Of those pecu-
niarily interested in IL, and its popularity
was still not abated. In other cities in
America IL has met with q success not
much less pronounced and even in Lon
don its fun and its brightness were not
obscured by the fogs Of the insular me-
tropolis. Monday "Adonisp will be pre-.
sented for the first time in Washington,
and with many new additions and with
n thoroughly-equipped company, but the
same old Dixey will make Albaugh's

even Lent cannot solemnize. Every
body wants to see Dixie and everybody
will.
