THE City Directory" at AIbaugh's.

THE City Directory" at Albaugh's.
This will be laughing week at Albaugh's.
"The City Directory" with its frolicsome anti
dyspeptic characteristics will have things pretty
much its own way in the world of hearty and
harmless fun-making. Russell's Comedians
hold a distinct and enyable position in the
good will of Washington theatre-goers by rea-
son of the fact that it is the best all-around Or
ganization of its kind that has ever made bid
here for public favor The most profitable
field in American theatricals at present seems
to be the light or farcical comedy sphere of
operation, and of the several instruments en-
ployed in forcing genuine merriment out of the
average supporters of the play "The City Di-
rectory' certainly seems to be the most hilari-
GUS as we'll as the most successful. When you
can be sure of seeing such faVorites as Amelia
Glover, the Irwin sisters, Bessie Cleveland,
Kate Uart, Maym Kelso, Gertie Glover, WIN
liam Collier, Ignacio Martinetti, Burt Haverly,
John w. Ransone, j. G. Miron, Alf Hampton,
and Julius Witmark, you can safely expect
lively and conspicuously bright performance.
1t will be a carnival week at Albaugh's, for
nothing can prevent RusselPs Comedians from
duplicating their former success here. There
will be special matinee performance on New
Years Day, together with the regular matin 6es
on Wednesday and Saturday.
Marie wainwright at the National.
lnaG charming actress ana DeauClIul woman,
Marie Wainright, will be the star this week at
the National Theatre in her production of
"Twelfth Night" and in Tobins famous com
edy, 1.-The Honeymoon" The production of
"Twelfth Night" last season will be generally
remembered, No more complete performance
of Shakespearean play has been given in our
day. In selecting this play for her present tour
Miss Marie wainwright has chosen wisely. The
character of Viola is one of the most pleasing
and most directly appealing to human sympa-
thy of all of Shakespeare's heroines. 1t is one
of exquisite refinement, triumphing over her
masculine garb, of passionate tenderness, but
genuinely sweet and maidenly modest. AS
Viola is one of the sweetesG of Shakespeare's
women, so the play in which she is set is one OF
his best and brightest comedies. "Twelfth
Night is bright and joyous comedy, healthy,
unspoiled by caricature, and Imprisoned by
satire or irony. "The Honeymoon has always
been faVorte play with star actresses and not
less SO with audiences. 1t is full of fun from
opening to close, and should be admirably
played by Miss Wainnght and her splendid
company, which includes Barton Hill, William
#. Owen, Percy Brooke, Blanche Walsh, and
Louise Muldener. The week is thus divided:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
evenings and Saturday matinee, ''Twelfth
Night" Friday and Saturday evenings and
Thursday New Year's) matinee, "The Honey

Agnes Huntington Paul Jones'"
The performances at Lincoln Music Hall,
commencing tomorrow evening, will have
two-fold interest, introducing a new opera,
Planquette's "Paul JONES'" to Washing
ton, presenting Miss Agnes Huntington
in the title role. Miss Huntington is no
stranger here, but as she returns after a long
absence with the prestige of an undoubted
London success her reGntry naturally gives
rise to pleasant expectations. In the mean time
1t may be worth while to ontlne the story of
"Paul JONES'" the motif of which is a fanciful
episode in the career Of this naval hero. In the
first act Paul is an apprentice to a st. Malo ship
chandler, Bicoquet by name, and as Bicoquet has
a pretty niece TVOnne. Ofcourse the two are in
love. But Paul has rival in the person of
RufnO, nephew of Don Trocddero, whose suit
Bicoqlet favors, and the natural result follows.
Paul is dismissed by his master, with promise,
however, that if he returns with fortune in
three years he shall marry TyOnnc. Hoping to
gain the fortune he, with old smuggler to
whom he has become attached, volunteers on
board of an American privateer. Three years
later the audience finds BicOquct married to
RufaoS sister, lalaguend Tonne is being
forced to marry Ralfno, when, in obedience to
the laws of comic opera, Paul turns up and
challenges Rufno, who, by a stratagem, makes

this winter, but it has been broken for the fol-

whose performance many seats had been taken
in advance, did not fulfill the engagement, and
the Russian public was naturally disappointed.
The authorities therefore, determined that for
the future the money paid for seats in advance
should be held in trust until the performance oc-
