Grand Opera House.-Rejane did not, in
her performance of MA Cousine," at the
Grand Opera House last night, meet with
the recognition SO far as the size of the
audience is concerned to which her I'M
questioned eminence as an actress entities
her. more vivaciousy attractive woman,
physically and Intellectually, has not ap-
peared in Washington in a long time, and
it would seem that interest in her should
be quite sufficient to counterbalance the
mild resentment which the public feels
over an advance in prices such as Abbey
Schoefel u Grau have seen fit to make for
this engagement. So sparkling is Rejane
that the wit of the dialogue seems to be
her own; SO full of animation is she that
the audience quite. forgets about Nine. Re-
jane, and thinks only of the spontaneity
and dash of Mile. Rignette, whom she inl-
personates. The play is charming study
in merriment, the comedy shading from
broad effects into the most delicate With
cism. The company which appears in the
supporting cast gave number of exceed
ingly clever character pictures, the produc-
ten being one of creditable smoothness.
'Divorcons," play which seems exquisite
ly adapted to the Rejane temperament.
Carroll Institute Dramatic Club-The
Carroll Institute Dramatic Club scored an
other triumph last night. They presented
for the second time Tom Taylor's comedy
institute hall, and the sign, Standing
Room Only" could have been hung out
with great propriety. The club was as
sisted by the Carroll Institute Orchestra,
urder the leadership of Prof. Sol. Min
ster, which added greatly to the enjoy
ment of the evening. The originator of
the club, Mr.. James A. Mahoney, acted as
stage manager. besides assuming the char
acter of Markham. Mr.. J. Travis Cocker as
Capt Hawksley made a hit, the part evil
IDENTIFY having been the subject of much
study, and not far behind him was the
personation of the character of Mrs. Stern
bold by Miss Anita Hendrie. Mr.. e. J.
walsh played the part of John Mildmay
to perfection, and Miss Helene Lackaye
was capable Mrs. Midway. Mr.. Potter,
portrayed by Mr.. Percy Leech was a
character in which the audience always
found something amusing. The other char
acters were highly acceptable, and were
taken as follows: Dunbilk, Mr.. John j.
Nolan; Gimlet, Mr.. C. T. DAILY; Jessop Mr.
VIM S. Mccarthy and Langford, Mr. John
Pearson. AS a whole, the performance was
quite as successful as the first venture of
the club In this piece, the smoothness of
action and intelligent Interpretation of the
different characters comparing quite favor
ably with professional rendition of the
same play.
Capital Glee Club Concert-From what is
said by those who have been fortunate
enough to hear any of the joint rehearsals
of the Rubinstein Club and the Capital
Glee Club the coming concert by these two
organizations will unquestionably be one of
the musical events of the season. Their
work already shows the results of careful
study, and in the choruses, where the
ladies and gentlemen are heard together,
the effects are said to be more harmonious
and inspiring than 1t has ever been the
fortune for a local mixed chorus to pro-
duce. This is but natural when it is con-
sidered that each Of these two clubs-the
one composed exclusively of ladies' and the
other entirely of gentlemen-comprising
some of the very best of the vocalists Of
the city, and is entirely separate and dis
tirct from the other, save only in the COM
mon dictatorship of Prof Coward. The
concert will occur at Metzerott's Music Hall
on the 9th of this month, and the tickets
are going rapidly.
The C. A. c. Benefit.-The annual musi-
Gale, variety entertainment and benefit per-
Torrance of the Columbia Athletic Club
takes place next Monday evening. The
event this year will outshine all previous
efforts, some Of the best talent in the city
having volunteered and the athletic special
