Lyceum-FitzsImmons.

The Lyceum last night was packed with
the admirers Of Lanky Bob Fitzsimm Ons
and his vaudeville artists, and the house
was pandemonium from the time the
doughty CorniShman came in the back OF
house until the curtain was rung down on
him in ring attire at the end of the show
Martin Julian did the honors and explained
the various blows which the sandy-haired
giantillustrated with the aid of Dan Hickey.
The vaudeville end of the show is unde-
niably the best of its class seen here with
fistic stars as drawing attractions and the
peoplcare allthe best Of their kind. Zero" ,"
a mixup of pretty girls, songs and dances,
leads off the bill, concluding with an
electrical climax that is attractive and
unique The Monroe Sisters are clever
parodists and delineators of Bowery types
with few equals Theo has a voice OF
much depth and sweetness Harry LeClair,
the female impersonator, has some new
business. including clever impersonations
of Ophelia and Mephisto. The Old-time
favorites, Topack and Steele, AZ the Judge
and Major, still catch the house, while
Madden and Cunan have a bud get of Celtic
Jokes that never failed to rouse laugh.
Carrie Monroe, a graceful and shapely
dancer, put on a number of serpentine and
shadow dances, assisted by the female
contingent of the company, and the elec-
trio and scenic effects were unusually
attractive.

The BiOQraDh.

Those who have failed to see an exhibi-
tion of the Biograph at Willard Hall have,
indeed, missed one Of the most interest
ing entertainments ever given in this
city The s. K. o. sign was out last night
long before the performance began, and
by the time the exhibition was under way
there wasn't even standing room. This
popular amusement will close its season
in this city q week from next Sunday
night, May go. Never before in the his
tory of amusements in this city has an en-
tertainment reached the record made by the
Biogl aph. The new views added this week
are superb, and only subjects In
which life and action are the prime
characteristics have been selected. The
views of the cavalry cannot be excelled.
The movements of men and horses are re-
markably lifelike, and the views afford a
means or seeing a feature of army life that
is seldom witnessed by the general public.
The pillow fight and other very popular
views will be continued on exhibition for
the present week Notwithstanding adver-
tisements to the contrary. the Biograph
is not and cannot be ON exhibition at any
other place than Willard Hall During the
last two weeks OF the Biograph in this city
exhibitions will be given daily at 2:30,
4:3o and 81 8 p. M, with special exhi-
bition Sunday evenings at S:15.

night in "Our Boys" Byron's Old-time
faVorite, and from. the reception accorded
the production, by the large house, its sue
cess was a fact long before the final cur
tain. In the ha nds Of IA clever set of peo-
pie, the comedy cannot fail TO please, and
the company is a good one, with few eX-
ceptions Frank Bosworth makes b sat
isractory Sir GeoffTey. William Stuart,
as Talbot ChampnCys, gives a clever bit
OF comedy work; william Richardson, as
the pompous and self-assertive retired Tut
terman, Pprkyn Middlewick, is humorous
and natural, while Lawrence Williams
ayails himself of the telling pointsa as Charles
Middle wick the dreamer and scrlbbler
of verse. Anna Eggleston, as the maid OF
all work, offers some clever rough sou
brettc treatment, while EleanOre Newton
and Ethel Raynes are both refreshing and
refined to a pleasing degree.

ception from his friends and admirers,
and Miss Goldie sang and danced with such
effect that encores were demanded often.

Columhta-.A. First Offense 81

The opening OF the Columbia stock sum-
mer season last night was not only auspi-
clOus as an introduction by the enterpriSine
management TO Washington devotees to
an exceptionally well-fitted and capable
company OF players, but for tie initial
performance of the work OF local play
wright, Mr.. Paul Wilstach, whose tren-
chant pen and discerning dramatic in
SunCt have made his work a favorite
among the critics of the capital.
Seldom do Washington playgCeTS have
such an opportunity to see a company 80
strong, even to its most insignificant
parts, and that they appreciated their good
fortune was plainly evident from the CEN
sricuous applause and frequent curtain
calls that followed the fall of the curtain on
every act.
With Il few added touches and careful
pruninrs that only first night can de-
tect, "A First Offense' deserves to take
it's place with the other first-night sue
CeSscs that have been registered in Wash
ington managerial racks.
As Homer Loveioy, Mr.. A S Lipman
gave an excellent impersonation of the gay
and dashing spouse; Mr.. James 0 Rarrows
as Ma ior Gaihyrd, put up deineati tion that
was fresh and original In it's treatment
of the old Don Juan; Miss Katherine Gray
was sympathetic as Mrs. Lovejoy, while
Grace Mae Lamkin appeared with thatnase
and lightness that have always stamped
her work, as Althea Leighter Godfrey
Stein made prominent part with a minor
role, as Slavin, the servant. The other
members of the cast did fairly well.

Julia Marlowe gave a large crowd Of her
admirers a pleasant new play at the Ma

The JaCobites." In its present form it
is called For Bonnie Prince Charlie" 1t

and Self-sacrifiee To her prince when his
honor ana his cause are in danger. The
scenes are mainly idyllic and delightfully."-
suited 10 the subdued and delicate art of
winsOme Julia Marlowe, but at her points
the action is swift and the situations dra-
matte, so that in it's entirety il is a join
ing OF the two elements which unite most
happily in a good romantic drama. The
period and the locale give splendid oppor-
tunity for colorful pictures, and Of these
every opportunity has been realized. As
Mary, the Highland beggar girl, Miss Mar
lowe is her usual sweet, beautiful, winsonic
self; but she is more when occasion de-

Lafayette Carmen"

Last night was largely Macnichol night
at the Lafayette Square Opera House. That
popular priI1a donna gave Washington a
first chance to pass on her new creation,
Bizet's operatic cigarette girl, Carmen.
Miss Macnichol challenged Comparison in
appearing in a role so often played by the
greatest dramatic sin gers and only recent
ly so carefully given, dramatically, by Olga
Nethersolc. If she did not eclipse any of
her predecessors, she at least made a per-
sonai triumph for herself and demonstrat-
ed her capacity for the most exactlng roles
of the prime donne' S repertoire. Her sing
ing was at all times exquisite, and she in
