Even more brilliant than the gilt and
green and ivory white of the interior deco
rations of the new Lafayette Square Thea
ter will be the shifting colors in the three
big scenes of DeKoven and Smiths newest
opera, La TZigane," on the stage of the
new playhouse, which Miss Lillian Russell
and the excellent company with which
she is surrounded, will dedicate tomorrow
night.
For the scene of La Tzigane" is laid In
Russia, or in Poland, TO be more proper; the
time is 1912, or during Napoleons in
vasion of that section of the Great White
Cars domains. And then Hoyt painted
the scenery and Castlebert and Dazian made
the costumes, in the doing of which. they
were given carte blanche in the matter of
expense.
That is why the scenic and incidental
investiture of the first work staged at the
New Lafayette will excel in richness all
other productions in comic opera ever made
in America, and furnish a picture for the
enhancement of the new proscenium arch,
the like of which is seldom seen on any
stage
All this, of course, If reports from Boston
and New York, where the opera has been
produced, have not exaggerated the sump-
tuousness OF its appointments.
La Tziganc'' ought to be excellently
acted and even better sung next week for
the character was expressly written to fit
the charming personality of Miss Lillian
Russell, and supporting company especially
selected with the idea of giving to every
role created by the author the best human
illustration possible.
OF the star it is not necessary to say much.
Lillian is too well known to Washington the
ater-goers to need any further Introduction
than an assurance that her health is per-
feet this season.. and that her beauty and
voice are at their very best But the
opera and the people who support Miss
Russell-these are new and possessing of
some interest in advance of their being
heard and seen.
La Tzigane,'' in three acts, libretto
by Harry b. Smith, music by Reginald
DeKoven; that's it so far as title goes.
Tzigane is Russian for Gypsy" in this in
stance fortune-telling gypsy serf, of ex-
ceptional beauty.
Messrs. DeKoven & Smith are respec
lively the composer and librettist OF Robin
II ood," Rob Roy and sundry other
musical works of like nature. The present
is their first incursion into Russia in search
for material and it has met with good re-
ward.
For the story OF "Tzigane" as told by Mr.
Smith, gives opportunity for all the Law
ishness of decorative display before spoken
of, and the Slavisli, Oriental, Calmuck col
orinE of the Characterization, and locale
have offered Mr. DeKoven plenty of chances
for new effects in composition, harmony
and orchestration. All of which doubtless
that very clever gentleman has used to
the very best possible advantage .

There are many curious places In New
York. as in every great city, of which many
people have heard but which they have
never seen. Some of these places have been
represented in plays. Others have not here
tofore been copied on the stage.
Several of the latter are presented in
the new comedy drama, 1.-THE White Rat"
by r. N. Stephens, produced by Managers
Davis and Keogh. This intensely exciting
play will occupy the Academy OF Music
stage the coming week.
The audiences that see "The White Rat"
get views of an old sailors lodging house
and dance hall, an East River pier, a
Chinese opium joint and joss house, a
Chinese laundry, Salvation Army hall
and other places interesting but to many
people inaccessible.
The action that passes in these places is
very stirring. There are several naturally
drawn comedy characters 10 the play.

week the'xery strong and latest melodrama
success "The. Midnight Special" with its
wealth of elegant scenery and Mechanical

Everywhere IL has been presented it has
proved a success, both artistically and f.

1.-The Midnight Special" is something more
than spectacular piece, though it's scenic
equipment and effeets are something to be
remembered. The Second act is repro
duction of the Grand Union Depot at
Baltimore, and it is In every respect q
perfect triumph of stage effect. Very few
as perfect or as sensational scenes have
ever been Witnessed on the stage. A dis.

are other effects which set the audience
wild.
