The amusement enterprise at 427 Seventh
street northwest is entering tomorrow On
its second successful week. Smiling faces
and merry peais of laughter are constantly
in evidence at the Maze. 1t is not To be
wondered at that the attendance has large
Iy increased each day since the opening.
Such thing as a serious faceis never seen
emerging from the Crystal Maze. Gayety
reigns there at all times. The Maze has
become a very popular resort with the
ladies and children. and Ii seems TO be
quite a fad TO spare few moments from
a shopping expedition TO spend in the re-
searches of the Maze The price OF adnis-
sion. 8 cents, is exceedingly low for ths
amount of amusement provided.

The promoters OF extravaganza ought
to be extremely grateful to Mother Goose.
This gentle dame, who made verses and
fancied grotesque fiction, has supplied
the basis of nearly all the successful ex-
travaganZas. The latest of these is
Barnet's adaptation of Jack and the
Beanstalk'' to mi rth, melody, and a
chorus. Besides Jack, however, there are
''Old King Cole, Simple Simon, "''Mother
Hubbard" and host of other familiar old
friends from the rhymes. Washington will
shortly see this piece, which has been sue
cessful elsewhere. 1t Is noted on the
Lafayette program as one Of the early
bookings at that house.

The coming OF Sol Smith Russell to this
city, or any other city, for that matter, IS
always a theatrical event, and that he is
always cordially welcome is shown by the
fact that he generally plays 70 the capacity
of every house he enters. Joseph JeffeT-
son is the only American actor who can be
compared TO Mr. Russell in popularity Mr.
RuSseH's quanthess, his inimitable drOl-
Iery, his tenderness and peculiar pathos,
are all his own, while nature has favored
the great comedian with face that is
not only scholarly, but kindly and tender in
its expression to a degree that inspires
confidence in his audience One feels in
tuitively that Mr. Russell is gentleman OF
noble impulses, and must be in realhfe what
he is behind the glare OF the fuotHghts-
and this is true He is a man who richly
deserves the gracious estimate in which
he is held by the public.
