ALBAUGH's OPERA HOUSE.
Gus Williams in a New Comedy to Be the
Holiday Attraction.

Gus Williams in New Comedy to Be the
Holiday Attraction.
AS Albert Keppler In the comedy called the
new "Keppler's Fortunes" Gus Williams,
who is one Of the most original and driest
comedians on the stage, is said to be excessively
comical. He succeeds in keeping his audience
in roars Of laughter throughout the entire
performance. Mr.. Williams and his play will
be the Christmas week attraction at Albaugh's, ,
and more innocent and enjoyable one could
scarcely havs been selected. Those who like
irresistibly comical entertainments, without
the rubbish and broadness to be found in So
called farce-comedy, will find performance
to their taste this week. In every city in the
country during the past twenty years Mr..
Williams has been a welcome visitor He is
so funny, SO quaint and so original that he ap-
peals equally to all classes Of theatre-goers.
His is the refinement of comedy acting.
Everything be says and does creates merri-
ment, while his songs and his famous bur-
lesque piano solos are, in their way, simply
irresistible. Wednesday, Christmas, and Sat
urday matinees are announced.

The touch and finish of a true tist are
found in every bit OF Mr.. Richard Mansfeld's
stage work. There is no sighting of any part
and the beauty OF 1t all lies in the fact that
this delicate observation of details is attended
with apparently no more effort than would be
exerted in everyday life In other words, the
acting Of his every role is characterized by
naturalness that is born only OF versatility of
the broa dest kind. He presented last week
at Albaugh'sa repertory of five plays, includ-
ing "Beau Brummsll,' "Prnce Karl,' ga
Partisan Romance" "Don juan" and "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE in all of which his ex-
cellent company gave charming support
Miss Beatrice Cameron's work was exquisite
and refreshing. Graceful, easy, and pretty,
there are few ladies on the stage to-day whose
acting is more effective. Mrs. Julia Brutone
and Miss Emma " Sheridan do artistic work
and the gentlemen of the company were all
up to the high standard required for a favor
able comparison. 1t is the work of such ar
lists as Mr.. Mansfield that elevates the stage
to its true plane.
The annual treat which Mr. Joseph Jeffer-
son gives the theatregoers of Washington
was enjoyed last week at the National Theatre
by large crowds. Indeed, 1t may truthfully
be said that there are many people whose
only attendance at the theatre during the
entire season is to see the charming presenta-
ton of old English comedy by the Jefferson
Company. Last week S'The Riyalsn and
''The Heir-at-Law" were given in manner
such as only this company can give them.
When Mr.. Jefferson and Mrs. Drew shall
have bowed their last before the public whose
affections they have so strongly claimed for
many years there will be round missing
from the top of the histrionic ladder that it
will probably take generations to replace
When this time shall come, may they long en-
joy in private the lives which have been so
earnestly devoted to the highest interests of
the profession and the educational entertain
ment Of the people of the country.

the Academy of Music last week While

music or its dramatic superiority to create

is deal more mertorious and entertaining
than many other light productions of its
order that are holding popularity with the
public. 1t was put on the stage last week in
brilliant manner 30 far as numbers and cos
stunning were concerned and the members of
the cast were as capable as they might be in
the absence of any recognized star

Fine puslness opportunitx.

Owing to the unsettled debt question, the
boundess mineral and other resources of Vir-
ginia have been but slowly developed. But
there is better time coming. The Lithomar
Company, of this city, of which Mr.. A. M.
German, the well-known real estate man, is the
secretary, has bought and developed a
splendid property containing vast quantities
of the finest lthographic stone, besides i'm
mense quarries Of building stone, marble and
slate. The property is situated within mile
OF the thriving cities of Waynesboro and
Basic City, Augusta County, Va. and there
fore easily contiguous to the National Capital
During the week number of prominent
business men OF the city, on the invitation of
Mr.. German, took trip to the quarries, and
after a thorough inspection of them, were
enthusiastic in their expression of the glow
Ing prospect of their rich development. 1t is
certain that in the near future these quarries
Will be called on TO furnish the bulk of the
building stone for the city, as the transporta-
tion facilities are short and unsurpassed, and
thus the material can be delivered at prices
FAR below those Of any possible competitors.

"Mr Wilkinsons Widows" Consequently
much is expected by the critical and fashion,
able friends of Mrs. Pacheco, who will be there
in force to witness her maiden efforts as
playwright Although Mrs. Pacheco wrote
"Incog" some years ago, when in the City of
Mexico, she struck the same vein that Gillette
has hit on in his later plays, which has proven
to be the most popular and paying kind of at
fractions, and practically driven farce-comedy
and horse-play from the field. Mrs. Pacheco,
the author of this new comedy, Is the wife of
Hon. Romualdo Pacheco, who, during his po-
litical career in California, held in succession
very important positions in the State govern
ment, including the gubernatorial chair and
who is now United States Minister at Guate-
mala and the Central American Republics gen.
orally. Mrs. Pacheeo is a lady who has read
many books and talked cleverly to all the
wise men of the nation. During her stay in
Washington she saw much of political life,
and was as popular here as she has aways
been in California. Six years ago she ac-
companied her husband to Mexico, and re-
sided at the capital of that republic two years
The story of 'iIncog." is the story of
young man who, being driven from home by
his father for refusing to marry his ward, and
persisting in loving the wards companion, de-
termined to return incog. so as to be near the
object of his affections. To this end he dis
guises himself SO as to resemble a photograph
which he has picked up. Unfortunately the
photograph is that of one of pair of twin
brothers who cannot be distinguished from
each other, one Of whom has a wife, and the
other sweetheart living in the same house.
The brothers both arrive, of course, shortly
after his appearance. 1t is upon the compli-
cations that arise out of this situation that the
play and the fun turn. "Incog." will be pre-
ceded by one-act comeoietta introduced as
curtain raiser, after the English fashion.
