KEEPING STEP TO BRITISH MUSIC.

KEEPING STEP TO BRITISH MUSIC.
The foreign and domestic wings ot.the
free trade buzzard can always be de-
pended upon to beat in unison. Foreign
mails bring expressions from Chambers
of Commerce in Sheffield, Manchester
and Glasgow, the London Times and
other recognized mouthpieces of British
sentiment, denouncing the Mckinley
bill and bewailing the effect of it's en-
forcement upon the trade and profits of
British manufacturers.
Evidently the men who are thus
spending time and money on meetings,
writing editorials and passing resolutions
for effect upon voters in this country, do
not subscribe to the gospel according to
Cleveland that 1.-THE primary and plain
object of tariff laws is to raise the price
to consumers of all articles imported
and subject to duty by precisely the
sum paid for such Duties" Experience
for which they have paid we'll in past
years satisfies them that when once
American manufacturers are assured
that the difference between wages paid
here and in Europe will be equalized
by tariff on competing imports, domes-
tic competition soon forces prices to
minimum. They have seen the United
States, under the @gis of Protection to
home industries, throw Of dependence
upon foreign sources for the comforts
and necessities of life. In ratio With their
bewilderment over this steady diminu-
ton of the American demand for British
made goods is the increase of, regret
that they had not more vigorously acted
upon the advice of Lord Brougham to
''strangle American manufacturers in
their CRADLE"
Concurrentlv with the wall of their
principals that British manufacturers
have already paid more toward the ex-
pense of our government than they
found agreeable, and their protest that
it is upon them rather than the buyers of
their wares that further increase of tariff
will fall-the American contingent of
free trade promoters, in utter disregard
of facts attested by price lists from every
business center, goes on telling voters
that the price of all they buy, whether
made at home or abroad, is increased
by the sum Of tariff charges on foreign
products. Under the guise of solicitude
for those who labor, they ask voters to
inaugurate a policy that will give to
foreigners rather than to citizens the
profits Of manufacturing. and furnish
employment for workers in Great Bri-
tain, who draw but one-fifth of their
bread and meat from this country,
rather than to insure employment to
American workingmen, who are four
times the better customers for all pro-
ducts of our farms and factories.

The Democrats of South Carolina are
divided into two classes the Straight
Outs and Tillmanites, there being q
most complete and picturesque division
in the party. Both factions have nom
mated their candidates and propose to
fight it out. The Republicans will sup
port the Straight Out ticket and Tillman
will probably be defeated.

guided parents. The company which will pre-
sent "The Hearts Of New York" is said to be
clever and strong one. Miss Earle Remington as
Pinkey, the waif, is a soubrette of more than
ordinary briliancy, and holds the attention of
the audience from the rising to the falling of
the curtain. Mr.. William E. Hines as FreckleS
divided the honors with her. Stanley Macy as
PerkaS, the lawyer, and James Quinn as the
policeman ably support them. The scenic and
mechanical effects are good. AS the elections
in some of the doubtful States will naturally
interest the public, arrangements have been
made to place special wire and operator in
the theatre so the returns may be given to the
audience as soon as received on Tuesday night.
Lester and Williams at Kernan's.
Lester and Williams's London Novelty and
Gaiety Company, which will open at Keman's
Theatre tomorrow night, have one of the most
successful burlesques of the season, entitled
"Me and Jack,'' which will be produced with
careful attention to detail, including handsome
costumes and rich scenic effects Beautiful
Estella Sylvia appears in the pretty character of
the Prince, and is supported by talented artists
The burlesque is bright and resplendent, full of
new songs and music, and interspersed with
rare specialties and novelties. Among the
speciality artists are the beautiful Washburn
sisters, whose duets are very charming; Sid
Euson and shapely Annie Queen, who appear
in the sensational act of the Gladiators; McAu-
life and Slavin, Lester and Williams, John
burke ana Gracle fOrreSt, FOLLY Mcdonald,
Gallagher and West, and Lew Carroll. Estella
Sylvia is acknowledged the premier danseuse,
and will execute number of her most successful
fancy dances. The champion lady fencer of the
world, Mile, Englehart, will give rare exhibi-
tion of swordsmanship, in conjunction with the
beautiful and accomplished swordswomen,
Misses Robinson and Kimball Mile. Englehart
offers $50 to any fencer male or female, whom
she fails to defeat. Ladies' matinees, Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday. Next week, American
Four Speciality Company
The Booth-Barrett Engagement.
On Thursday next the first Of the special ex-
cursions to the Booth and Barrett performances
in Baltimore will take place. The play for that
evening is "The Merchant OF Venice p in which
Mr.. Booth will appear as ShylOck and Mr. Bar
rett as Bassanio. On Saturday night "Hamlet"
will be given. The cheapness of the rates,
which include the railroad fares both ways, will
serve to draw large crowds to both perform
ances. Theatre parties appear to be the rule
for Thursday night, and great many seem to
be anxious to go on the first excursion, in
order to get look at Mr.. Albaugh's new house
as well as to see the performance. The Lyceum
Theatre is situated only four squares below the
depot, on Charles street, and Washingtonians
will be enabled to return to this city by 1890

"Faust" at Albaugh's.

Tomorrow evening Mr.. Lewis Morrison will
appear in his creation of Mephisto in "Faust."
The San Francisco Call speaks of his perform
ance as follows I" Faust was handsomely pro-
duced last night to large audience. The pro-
duction is said to have been modelled after that
of Mr.. Irving, which has attained such popu-
larity in London. Without drawing comparison
between the two, it is enough to say that the
local one shows no lack of liberality on the part
of the management. Two of the scenes-the
Nuremberg Square and the Brocken Heights
are exceptionally handsome. The Broken
scene is picture of satanic revelry, with the
crimson figure of MephiStopheles posing on the

all, it is true, but with others the change has
been marked, and it is most noticeable with PLAYS
that are having long runs.
Quite sensation was created here last season
when Miss Bessie Gilbert, the cornet solost de-
clared her willingness to play against any cor
netist in Washington, and repeated her challenge
of $4,000, open to the world. No one seemed in
clined to grasp the opportunity, but everybody
who heard Miss Gilbert play pronounced her
remarkable cornet sooist. She will appear at
Kernan's Theatre November 10 with the Ameri-
can Four Speciality Company.
Mrs. Jamison, of Margaret Mathers Company,
has grievance against one of the hotels in
Plainfeld, N. j. She says that she could never
get anything she wanted at meatime and that
she suffered great deal of anguish The last
straw was at the time of departure. Mrs. Jami-
son sought the proprietor and declared that his
hotel was the worst at which she had ever
stopped. His answer acted like cold shower
bath to her anger. Yes" he answered, quietly,
that's what they all say"
The rhetoric Of the nomadic manager is some
times startling. This gem occurs in handbill
describing the accomplishments of a new West
ern star: while en- route in New England Miss
Blank was the honored guest of many leading
statesmens ladies. Her many receptions were
all affairs long to be remembered as roses scat
tered on the high road OF success At her pres
ent home she is a leader of society, and enjoys
the sobriquet of being considered one of the
fashion plates OF the elite"
Jerome X. jerome, the young English play
wright, who has become something of fad, will
hav" received from Mr.. Daniel Frohman when
his play, "The Master of Woodbarrow," ends its
season at the Lyceum Theatre the sum of $4,000
for royalties And this will be the first real en-
couragement that he has had from his dramatic
works, as he still young in the theatrical sphere
The new play by Jerome called birth and Breed
ing," recently presented in Scotland for copy
right purposes, is an adaptation from u foreign
source made for Augustin DAILY. The young au-
thor is now at work upon an original play, into
which he is putting some strong material
A notable feature of the coming season will be
the three subscription concerts to be given by the
Washington Musical Club. This meritorious or
ganization is composed of three musicians OF

marked talent and thorough training in the best
schools OF this country and Europe and each is
fully entitled to be called master of his favorite
instrument. These gentlemen are Mr.. Henry
Xander, pianist; Mr. Herman Rakeman, violin
ist, and Mr.. Paul Miersch violoncellist The first
concert will be given November 49, and a notable
feature of the programme will be Beethoven's
kreutzer Sonata, for violin and piano. Miss
Julia Wymau, the well-known mezzo soprano,
of New York, will be the vocalist of this con-
cert. Subscriptions for the concert will be re-
ceived at the music stores and by members of the
club The club is doing good work in keeping
alive an interest in the best class of music. and
it should receive generous support.
Mr.. JOSEPH J. Levy, the well-known theatrical
man. who is now business manager for Booth
and Barrett, was in Washington during the week
calling on his many friends.
Dick Carroll, the well.known and clever come
dian, came to Washington last week expecting
to join the Faust y p to Date" Company, taking
the place of Mr.. Vaudeville, whodid the part of
Mephisto so badly at Lincoln Hail. Mr.. Carroll
did not think much of the part offered him, and
declined to join the company. He has accepted
an engagement with Minnie Palmer, to appear
in the new Strauss opera which she will produce
soon in New York.
A good story is told of Jimmy Powers the
star of "a Straight Tip. 1.-THE company was play
ing in Philadelphia and had to leave there after
the performance for Columbus. After each act
the scenery was hurried away and the baggage
was hustled" on the sidewalk. The curtain fell
upon the last act, and Powers turned to his
dressing-room. To his horror he saw that all his
effects had been removed. The clothes-hooks
were all bare-not vestge of his belongings re-
mained His trunk had been carried away, and
there stood Mr.. Powers dressed as CdrmencitG
He wore blonde wig and black gauze skirts.
His arms were bare and his neck exposed. Man
ager Rosenbaum rushed to his hotel, captured
blanket and wrapped it around the helpless
comedian, put him in cab, and had him con-
veyed to the station.

summit and looking down with immense salts
faction at the lost souls dsporting beneath.
MephiStO will always be the central figure of the
story of Faust whether presented in lyric or
purely dramatic form. The character is the
motif, the inspiration of the whole story The
supernatural power of this ally of Satan works
the mischief which constitutes the turning point
in the drama The character becomes human
through its knowledge of human nature. He
takes a cynical view of it, but he hits its weak
motif or moving spirit it is quite natural that
MephistO should take the play, as in every scene
no takes the stage. He is not the kind OF per
son to be kept in the background. His flaming
red Vestment attracts the eye, and his mocking
face carries conviction as to his character.
Lewis Morrison avails himself of all these points
to centre upon himself the interest of the char
acter he represents. Mr.. Morrison gives great
effect to the character as thus conceived. His
reading is remarkably clear and powerful, and
his face and general bearing suggestive of the
character he represents"
A New Opera at the National.
1t is not nowadays an easy task to achieve
success in contemporaneous comic opera. The
demands of a somewhat feVerish public are Sc
we're, and they seem to be growing more exact
ing season after season. Novelty, picturesque
ness, originality, and lavishness are latter-day
essentials of the higher musical productions,
and lacking them there is slight hope for any
venture, regardless of its merit from a purely
technical standpoint. "The Kings Fool" it is
said, meets these requirements The music is
generally smooth, seductive, caressing, and gay
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1890-11-02

comes with a generous public Endorsement as
well as the commentator OF the press every
where. 1t is said to be the best work of the
Vienna composer, and is full of musical gems
which have made it one of the most popular at
fractions on the lyric stage. Among its many
features of interest is a fencing contest between
several pretty young ladies, who have been
drilled in handling the fols with skill This is
feature not often found in comic opera, but it
is one that has always pleased theatre-goers Of
every class The exhibition in "The Kings
Fool' is said to be equal to and as exciting as a
contest between professional fencers. There are
two songs that have helped to render this opera
immensely popular. One is entitled "My Love
Is Fair Columbia" sung by Miss Bettina Padel-
ford, the other comic selection called "These
Words No Shakespeare Wrote" Several diff
cult marches and svolutions are introduced, with
striking effect, and serve to please the public
taste. Mr.. Conried's company is said to be the
most efficient as well as one of the largest
comic opera organizations on the road, and an
excellent performance in Washington is as

In the groupings are employed several score of
pleasing-looking girls, and for the minor speak
ing roles capable players have been cast. These
details are worth noting, because they are not
often observed. The initial production Of "The
Kings Fool" Mueller's romantic opera, in
Washington tomorrow evening at the National
Theatre promises to excite the interest of all
lovers OF opera. While 1t is new to this city, it

tits said to be an interesting and well-written
drama, dealing with incidents and characters
not uncommon in the great metropolis. The
much mooted question Of divorce is shown up
in an interesting light, and the old saying, GA

the noble conduct of the heroine, Pinkey, who,
abandoned by her mother, seeks and saves a
drunken father, and finally reunites the

"Josephine Empress Of the French" is
dolorous but beautiful play, yet the fact that
the title role suits the individuality of Mile
Rhea better than anything in which she has ap-
peared in this country is scarcely public 1ustt-
fcation for its too frequent presentation. The
proof that Mile. Rhea ought TO present roper
tory is clear by the gradually diminishing at
tendance from season to season The produc-
tion OF the piece at Albaughs Grand Opera
House last week shows some slight modifica-
tions over previous years which are calculated
to increase its action and relieve the monotony
OF its extreme pathos, and while, Of course, the
story of the fate of Napoleon's lovely wife is
one of intense grief and sorrow, additional Incl
dents of lighter nature might be used with
effect to counterbalance the almost sombre
shadows of woe. The play is presented in an
artistic manner, and appeals to the intelligence
of the audience with unusual force. Mile.
Rhea's Empress Josephine is a charming per-
sonation. The role is one with which her
mannerisms affiliate so nicely as to make it
incomparably her own, though it were open to
all comers. 1t is the central figure OF striking
historical picture studied out and presented in
its minutest details by cast of excellent actors
and actresses. Mr.. William Harris as Napoleon
does the best work of his stage career. His
makeup and counterfelts or tne personal CHAR
acteristcs of the great general were remarkably
striking Mr.. Franceur's Tallyrand was also
effective, and the other members Of the COM
pany were all admirably adapted to their several
roles. The costuming was historically correct,
the dresses of Mile. Rhea especially being
marvels of loveliness.

A good speciality show is something which
heretofore has been seldom seen at the legiti-
mate places of amusement in this city, and the
management of the National Theatre deserve
the thanks of the public for making the innova-
ton this year and presenting two or three of the
best that can be found. Last week at this house
the Boston Howard Athenaum Star Specially
Company drew large and apprecative audiences
to discuss a programme of more than ordinary
interest in this line Some of the features were
not so good as those of similar character that
have been seen here, while Others were equally
superior. Among the latter might be mentioned
the feats of Cinquevali in Juggling and balanc-
ing, the dialogue sketch of Conroy and Fox, the
clever performances of the mandolin seXtette,
the really puzZling electrical and fire-eating acts
of the Salambos, the funny monologue enter
tainments of Bob Slavin and Dutch DAILY, and
the daring horizontal bar maneuvres of the
Boisset Troupe.
