at Albaugh's last night 1t Is story Of the curse
of money, done by Mr.. Steele Maccaye with

Miss Margaret Bradford's Kate ONeil is char
acter which grows on one by her interpreta-
ton until IT is really great Mr.. Graham's
Cary Hdskins is another dIsagreeable character
exec entity done Very pretty and cute is the
Dawes, and Mr.. Mitchelrs work through
out was good. Mary Birds Aunt Phiuis
was q fine bit of color work, always difficult for
a woman. Ben Hendricks German comedy
was excellent, and Miss Toncray was
cry is special feature and the
counterfeiters' den would be striking IL it
were not outclassed by the great Chicago river
scene with its turning bridge, moving steam
bd4 ts and other realistic effects. There we're
several frst-night bitches and doors hard to
find, and Prof. Bernays tried to lead his orches-
ira against the phalanxes Of the gallery be-
tween the fourth and fifth acts but the gods
were against it, and after repeated repulses the
orchestra withdrew to the trenches and gave
up the battle. The orchestra was all right and
the music was as good as anybody's music but
the gallery wanted to have fun with Mr.. Ber-
nays and it succeeded and everybody enioyed
il even the orchestra. Money Mad" is fine
show for an audience not too critical. and it is
dramatic enough to start the enthusiasm in the
ESGLIsH OPERA AT THE NATIONAL - The
Emma Juch English Opera Company at the
National last night, presented Myerbeer's grand
opera The Huguenots" to an audience of very
generous proportions and in manner that was
generally satisfactory. Miss Juch sang the
part of Valentine in q thoroughly effective
manner and displayed in the later acts a ORA
matte intensity which surprised and gratifed
her many admirers. Miss Carlotta Maconda
brought to the role Of the Queen . voice pure
md fvua oh thaa vid -
ton and she sang the forid music in such q
manner as to win hearty aud deserved ap-
plause. Charles Hedmondt has improved
since his last visit here aud sang Ra0ul with
excellent effect. Franz Vetta's noble bass was
fully evual to the requirements of Marcel
though it is regretted that this excellent singer
is using the tremolo SO extensively. The
choruses were all well executed, the finale of
the second act receiving justly merited cur
tain call The orchestra under the skillful
leadership OF Adolph Nueundorf played with
excellent precision. The piece was well
staged.
KERNAN's.-A vaudeville entertainment with
out bad feature Is q rarity, and variety show
with every performer a star is scarcer still, yet
Pat Reilly has combined these two heretofore
unattainables in the company now filling a
weeks engagement at Kernan's, and last night
saw the largest house this theater has accom-
modated this season. The Dolans. known as
the ''Shaugrauns of the Vaudeville" opened
the performance with q slde-spilttlng sketch.
Then came the original Pappilon dancers, -
graceful as they were pretty. They made the
hit Of the show. Barber, the expert bicyclist,
was wonderful. O'Brian and Redding we're I'M
mense in a musical comedy. The two sisters
Bachelor. Miss Minnie Watson and Miss Emily
Pritchard as the Alhambra four made charm
ing quartet. Prince Kokino is a juggler all
over. Miss Marie Lotus was q success, and
Leoni Clarke with q troupe of trained cats,
rats, mice and birds, all performing together,
was a genuine novelty. The performance
closed with an amusing comedy entitled
Mystic Order of Undertakers," in which Pat
Reilly appeared as Ignat,us Conoherty. He was
ludicrous in the extreme. Again tonight.
HAERIs' BIJoU.-The Nelson's vaudeville
company. headed by the famous gymnasts, the
Nelson family, opened q weeks engagement at
the Bijou last night under most suspicious cir
cumstances. The house was crowded to the
doors, and the performance was all that could
be desired. Miss Lottle Mack sang some
catchy songs and received a double encore La
Belle Adele did some difficult gyrations upon
revolving globe. The Bland sisters in character
songs and dances we're good, and the Irish
character vocalists, Bobby and Kitty Emmets
proved prime favorites. The five Casuanis
created much merriment by their quick evolu-
tions and iudicious situations, and Al Wilson
was very funny in his German specialized
Troublesome Tenants" 10 the roaring after
piece that closes the show. Again tonight.
