AIBAueH's OPERA HousE.-von' suppe's
bright and pleasing comic opera ''Clover" was
witnessed BY pleased audience ut Albaugh' 9
last night and in one Of the lower boxes sat
President and Mrs. Harrison, who also APP
peared delighted with the music and the act
was the recognized McCaall troupe, with such
well-known favorites as Laura Joyce Bell,
Annie Myers Josephine Knapp, Digby Bell
and Charles DUNCAN. The new faces were
those of Helen Bertram, Chauncey Olcott and
VIM. Blaisdell, and all were received with
favor. "Clover" is more musical than any of
Won Suppe's operas except "Fatinitza, and
its pleasing melodies we're all well received last
night. Encores were frequent. Misses Helen
Bertram, Annie Myers, Messrs Olcott and
Digby Bell, being the most in demand. The
chorus was large and efficient and the actions
OF the piece moved smoothly and effectively.
The comedy element in this opera was well
taken care Of by Annie Myers, bigby Bell and
W. F. Rochester. Again tonight
NATIONAL THEATER.-Those charming artists,
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall, were warmly greeted by
large audience at the National Thcater last
night. though the play they presented was not
the best in their repertoire. "Ihe Ironmaster"
has been frequently seen here both in its En-
giish form and the original. the great Bern
hardt playing CLAIRE in the latter version. and
so the public is perfectly familiar with its story
In the Translation used by the Kandals both
give honest and conscientious work, but it is
not SO satisfying as in plays where pleasant
comedy Is the motive. They are both more a.
home in depicting the sunny side of life. The
American people have learned to regard Mr..
and Mrs. Kendall very highly, both profession
ally and individually, and they are heartily
tied.
The YALE GLEE CLuB.-A good audience
to listen to the Yale Glee and Banjo Club This
organization has been here before and their
work is well known to the lovers of music in
this city. The program was arranged to show
the high perfection that the club had attained
both in its vocal and instrumental execution.
but 1t Is believed that the concert would have
been more enjoyable to those who attended had
there been q more liberal introduction of
purely college songs. The whistling solo of
Mr.. Wurtz was emphatcally encored, and for
that matter the club was brought back after
nearly every number.
Miss SAxroNs RECITAL - Miss Saxton's
sacred classic recital at Wonn's Hall on Sun
day evening attracted a cultured audience.
The reader rendered in her most dramatic
manner the story of Cain by Victor Hugo and
the Burial of Moses. The Lords Prayer was
given with feeling that moved the entire
audience. Miss Saxton was arrayed in soft
clinging draperies suited to the recitals.
HARRrs'.-The performance this week at the
BlJou Is strictly new, never having been seen
here before. To sum the play up would be to
say that it consists of two hours and fifty-fve
minutes of the healthiest and funniest fun seen
here this season. The performance really runs
but two hours and forty minutes, but the laugh
continues for fifteen minutes after the curtain
comes down on the last act. During the per-
Torrance many first-class specialties are intro
duced, among them the three Albion brothers,
who delight the audience with their acrobatic
feats. The Tally trio sing all the popular
songs in popular manner. Miss Daisey Rams
den Warner is a soubrette of more than average
aft MI oaSr, thoo
with several clever songs and dances, claps the
climax by turning a couple Of cartwheefs and
1ip-fop with long dress on. The company
is a good one. Again tonight.
kERNANs.-The MuldoOn Athletic Combine
ton, in conjunction with the London Gaiety
Buriesque Company, is the attraction at Her
mans this week. Last night the house was
crowded to the doors. After very fair olio,
introducing a comedy sketch after the Clemen-
eau Case; Miss Matte Webb in some well chosen
Sisters in difficult skipping rope dance,
Bogert and O. Brien in a musical turn; the
Gaiety dancers, Sebastian Miller, the Bavarian
Hercules, the three little Japs, Thompson and
Flynn, Mason and Titus in a photographic act
and a burlesque called princess Bright Eyes"
the athletic part of the enter tainment began.
Two sets OF cOlOred sparrers kept the audience
interested until the final bout between Jack
Ashton and Jake Kilrain. The set-to was
spirited. MuldOOn and member of the COM
Pany closed the entertainment with q wrestling
bout, the former winning in eleven minutes.
Again tonight.
