AMUSEMENTS

/ hLbAtth S-1t was uut duQ1e0Ce winch OC-
| cupied nearly all the seat space at Albaugh's
| last night to hear the Carleton company in Cell
| lier and Stephenson's agreeable opera, "Do-
| rothy." Whatever high opinion it may have
had OF the company when the curtain went up
| that opinion was greatly improved when the
| curtain went down. for in Dorothy" the COM
pany has made its best impression SO far in
this engagement and Musical Director Haig
| may be congratulated, as well as the artists un-
| der his guiding hand. Miss Alice Carries vivac-
| ity and voice, Miss Vincent's beauty and
grace, Mr.. Cartoons figure and feeling, Mr..
Murray's baritone brilliance. Mr.. Bigelow's
| chromatic comedy, the excellence of indi-
viduals generally which manifests itself in mag
mined degree in the concerted parts the
chorus, the orchestra, artistic and handsome
| scenery each contribute to make of Dorothy
| production equally agreeable to stage and
| auditorium. Each did his or her part well,
and the result could not be otherwise than
happy. Again tonight.
Natural Gas" called out large
house last night and every one who came
brought his laugh with him. The play is in
the main as it has been in other seasons, but
several new additions are observable and they
are improvements. One of the hits was the
whlstllng trio of Messrs. Donnelly and Girard
and Miss Sutherland, but the hit was the sing
ing of Hub Smiths new song. Swinging i'll tine
Grape Vine Swing" by Donnelly and Girard.
Forty-tive of Mr.. Smiths Columbia Club friends
in full dress and the front row waited for the
| song and added their voices to the chorus
while the house applauded so vociferously
that the performance could not go on until
the singers came again. At the end of the act
Mr.. Smith was called before the curtain and
sang verse OF his song, pretty much the
whole house joining in the swinging tuneful
chorus and having roaring time.
KERNAN's.-Manager Herman in presenting
the Metropolitan Speciality Company to the
patrons of his popular theater has made ten
strike, for the combination is one of the
strongest yet seen here and contains many we'll
known vaudeville stars. The feature OF the
entertainment is Stedmans dog circus The
Julians in a parlor contortion act are graceful
and fully come up to the expectations of the
audience. WOodsOn and Bennett in a musical
specially, Cooper, DAILY and Lynch in a comic
specially entitled ''Picnics" and old-time Billy
Buckley in a new creation are all good. Again
tonight.
HARRIS BIJoU-"SHE"-Th Webster Brady
Company in ''She," drew large audience at
this house last night. The story is told in FIVE
acts, and kept the audience interested until
the fall of the curtain. The scene upon the
deck of an Arab slave dhow was natural as
it was picturesque. The electric storm, a
wreck off the African coast, the festivities of
the savages and the cavern home of "She"
were all stage effects of merit. The company
Is In all respects good one. Again tonight.
The GRAND CONCERT. - The concert of
vocal music given last evening in Lin
coin Music Hall was pleasing to lovers
OF good singing and violin playing. Miss Char
iottc NdlhtT, SOpTdUO, MTS. CaTl AlNeS con-
tralto Messrs. Albert Lester King tenor, and
Carl Duff, baritone, were the vocaists, and
MIR. Franz WilcZek, the violinist. The pro-
gram was marked by liberal conjunction of
the works of many schools, from Verdi and
VieuXtemps to Wagner and Liszt. quartet of
Costa's, which opened the program, given
an exceptionally fluent and finished perform
ance-one, in fact, worthy of a much more in
teresting composition. Miss Walker sang
LISTS splendid setting of the familiar 'Lor-
oil with 10
vivdness of contrast. Mrs. Alves gave an
earnest and painstaking rendering, marked
by no little breadth and sincerity of style, of
a noble aria from st. Saen's samson and De-
lilah." AS much cannot be said of Mr. Dufft's
rendering of the song to the evening star in
"Tannhauser," for he failed to interpret its
deeply poetic significance in ADEQUATE meas
ure. Mr. Kings voice showed sweetness and
certain lyric tenderness in a Spanish Sere-
made" of Roeder's, to the evident satisfaction
of the audience. One Of the chief pleasures of
the evening was in the violin playing Of Mr.
Wilczek. He displays fine tone and tech
nlque that Is especially at home in the delica-
cies and graces of such compositions as Vieux-
temps fantasia and variations, but that is not
above the resort TO something of trickery upon
occasion. More than a passing word of praise
ought to be spoken OF Mr.. Agramonte's ex-
qulsite accomplishments.
