Keith'S Opera House.

James J. Corbett and his fellow actors
IN the play OF "Naval Cadet" woe
greeted by a largo and enthusiastic audl-
ence at Keith's Opera House last evening
nd there was good reason for the size OF
and the enthusiasm expressed by the as
seuIblage.
The play. "a Naval Cadet, I" is a bright,
clean and we'll balanced one, and though
Mr.. Corbett must necessarily be the center
OF attraction wherever he appears, the play
is not n once character one; and there is
plot and characters enough TO satisfy
most theater goers. The piece Is pre-
sented with careful attention to the pro-
prieties and in every scene presented there
Is evidence that no detail has been ne
elected.
AS 10 Mr. Corbett's acting, those who
had seen him on previous occasions last
night admitted that he had made marked
Improvement in his chosen profession,
and he gave evidence OF having given
careful study and attention to all the
requirements of the character which he
had undertaken TO portray.
He, il Is needless to say, carried the
house with him in his work in the gym
nasium scene and he was forced TO con-
tinue his work even after he ought TO
have been little tired. Last evening,
and this will be repeated at every per-
formnnce OF the piece, Mr.. Corbett, TO
the great delight OF the audience, spared
three rounds with James Dolan, who
has won local fame as pugilist. Mr..
Dolan's work seemed to please the audi
ence hugely. and several kindly critics
i'm the higher portion of the theater made
some good natured, ana, from their point
OF view, very valuable suggestions, to
him, but as for MIR. Cor bett. he was not
apparently bothered by Mr.. Dolan's at
tempts TO put the advice offered into prsc-
tice.
The company is good one, and the
pefsoniiication of the heavy villains part
as represented in the character Of Felipe
Bonivari, by Mr.. Mckee Rankin. was, 1t
is needless TO say, we'll done. Miss Annie
Blancke as Dolly Eaton was as clever and

The story is neatly told and everythi

Uniquely Related What She Knew
of His ActiOns-Unusual Scene.

Judge Coles court was this morning the
scene Of merriment that has undoubtedly
never before been paralleled in local courts
of Justice as far as the continuity and scope
of the hiliarity went.
The question OF the validity of the will
of the late James f. Young, the eccen.
trio old man of Columbia road, who left
a $4,000 estate, was again up for con
sideration.
Aunt Louisa Curtis. an old colored
woman, was the central figure in the
comedy that made every loUker-on feel
that it was Well worth the price of admis-
sion.
Leo O'Dnwd had preceded the old wom-
an with bis testimony. He stated that
Mr. Young was hardly ever sober and that
his actions were OF queer, unnatural
kind.

DENTAL CASE DECISION.
Tooth Pullsrs Have to study Three

Years Before Being Licensed.
The case OF Dir. Frank E. Burke. OF the
National II Homeopathic Medical College,
charged by DR.. William Donnelly, of the
board of dental examiners, with practicing
dentistry in the District without Il certifi-
cate, which was continued from last Mon
day in order TO allow Judge Miller to make
a personal investigation of the dentistry
law before rendering his decision. was
disposed OF in the police court to-day after
much discussion.
Judge Miller said: 'If any college per-
niits a student to practice dentistry upon the
public without being under the supervision
of competent instructors, 1t is 1rea king
the law. The law requires Il three years
course OF study and a diploma should not
be issued until the student completes the

Dr. Burke had not completed a three years
