Everybody who goes to the theatres at all
knows De Wolf Hopper. Nearly everybody
likes him immensely, too, and this implies that
the clever comedian would have the friendliest
of receptions when he comes to the National to-
morrow night, even If he did not offer new
and assured "go'' In the comic opera line
"Castles in the Air." which will be the vehicle
of Mr.. Hopper's stella introduction to Washing
ton, was devised by Charles Alfred Byrne, who
wrote the libretto, and Gustaye Kerker, who
provided the music. It's prosperity In New
York is well known, and since the road season
was begun there has been no performance at
which people were not turned away. Mr..
Hopper's reception in Boston on his opening
night there would have done honor to Presi-
dent. The opera will be presented here with
all of the original scenery ana costumes and the
great New York cast. This of course, means
very large expense, but Managers Locke and
Davis wish to treat the public to production
of comic opera that has never been equaled
outside Of New York. Della Fox will play the
famous pantonime game of billiards, and
popular Tom Seabrooke, little Alfred Klein,
and Others of note will help Mr. Hopper to
make the entertainment droll and bright. An
augmented chorus has been engaged and sundry
new features are promised, so that the Capital
City is likely to see even finer "Castles in the
Air" than those presented to the view in the
metropolis. The coming engagement is for one
week, with the usual matinee on Saturday.
Milton Mobiles at the Bijou.
All engagements of this standard artist at
this house have been the occasion of congratu-
lation to not only the management of the thea
tire, but to those who are fortunate enough to
visit his performances. This engagement will
begin Monday evening, September 49, "The
Phenix'' is drama that not only pleases the
masses, but is full of pith and point for the
student of American humor. The seedy Bohe-
mian, with his blood curdling romance for the
Weekly ChdnlbermdidS OWn, is eXcruciatingly
funny. Mr.. Mobiles, the author of the play, has
been literally endowed by nature with fund
of mingled humor and pathos admirably suited
to the requirements of the leading role. The
story of the immortal 'villain'' who s'still pur-
sued" the Yirtuous maiden is positive stroke
of genius. ''The Phoenix" possesses dramatic
strength and fund of genuine humor. Mr.
Mobiles is supported by an excellent company,
and the cast contains many wel-known people.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
"a Poor Relation" at Albaugh's'

"a Poor Relation at Albaugh's'
The popular comedian, Mr.. Sol Smith Russell,
always great favorte in this city, will appear
at Albaugh's tomorrow evening, presenting his
successful comedy ga Poor Relation" Mr..
Russell has for years held a first place among
American comedians. His methods are peculiar
to himself, his artistic work so natural and so
perfect, and his characters so 1ifelike and
homely that his stage portraiture are among the
most familiar to the play going public. There
is no actor to-day who has greater power over
the feelings Of an audience and who can more
readily move them by the magic of his art to
smiles and tears at will. AS the poor inventor,
Noah Vale, in ga Poor Relation,n Mr.. Russell
has character which is by all odds The best
adapted to his distinctive style that he has had
for years. He makes Noah Vale a natural
creature, full of touches of human nature, and
his trials, triumphs, and tribulations strongly
appeal to the sympathies of an audience. The
play, Of which the inventor is the central figure,
made marked success when last seen in this
city. Since that time it has been materially
improved. Instead of being in four acts it is
now played in three, thus making the action
more rapid the interest better sustained, and
the situations and climaxes more dramatically
effective In its present state ga Poor Rela-
ton" was presented at Daly's Theatre, New
York, at the opening of the present season. Its
success was instantaneous, and Mr.. Russell's
fine bit of character acting was the talk of the
metropolis for weeks. The play ran month
to crowded houses.

The passage of the Silver bill in this country
has affected the jewery trade in more than one
particular. The price of sterling tableware has
already been increased and now advices from
Europe indicate that, owing to the new law, the
increase in the value of the Indian rupee has
caused the prices of pearls and fancy stones to
