DAMRosCHs OPERATIC STARS.
Great SolOists to Appear at the
Lafayette Next Week.

Mr.. namrosch has a notable company
OF players to present in his WaShn gton
performances at the Lafayette next week
Herr Paul Kalisch. one Of the first tenors
Of Mr.. Damrosch's Opera Company this
year, came TO tlis country seven years ago
He was tenor OF much promise but
little routine in the Wagner roles. He
then married Lini Lehman, the great
Wagnerian singer, and she resolved that
she would make great Wagnerian singer
of him. This people doubted, as he had
hitherto gained his reputation in French
and Italian opera, but enthusiasm and
hard work have done wonders. He is now
considered one OF the best heroic tenors
OF Germany.
Herr Ernst Krauss, who Is to take
Alvary's place in Mr.. Damroseh's COM
pany this season, is only thirtytwO years
OF age. very handsome, and over six fees
in height. He began his career in WieS-
baden and Mannheim, and has Just been
engaged for royal opera in Berlin as first
tenor, taking the place Of Gudehas, who
Is getting on in years After a sharp
tussle with the Berlin directors, Mr.. Dam
rosch succeeded in securing Krauss for
the winter, the Berlin people agreeing
to date his contract from next spring
Krauss viii appear in America in the
roles Of Lohengrin. Tannhalser. SiegfrietI.
Faust, Raoul, "Hugaenots, and Don Jose,
Carmen
LiIi Lehmann's return after an absence
of five years to America, where she Won
her first laurels as a great Wagnerian
singer, marks an interesting event in the
annals OF German opera An Illness at
the time compelled temporary retire
ment from all operatic work, but all her
strength and health have returned And
after a sensational success as Brunhilde
at Bayreuth this summer, followed by
equally successful appearances in Munich,
size returns to us to renew her triumphs
as Isolde, Fidelio and the BrunhiIdes in
the ''Nibelung Trilogy."
Other notable players in this company
are Gadski and Carl Somer, who ara
equally famous as the others.

Brother for Brother, an English meIo-
drama by Frank Harvey. author OF Wases
OF Sin, Fallen Among Thieves" &C,

House this week Judging from the press
notices, IL is a Helcdrama IF unusual merit,
but different in many respects from the
clap plays that are obliged To have
guns and pistols in every act
The CiIHaXes follow one another in rapid
succession, each one stronger than its
predecessor, until they eliminate in the
great fire scene at the foundry. where the
hero has been lurtd by his enemies into
cellar, and escape seems impossible. Fire
surrounds him ON all sides, when the bind
heroine, guided by the ULerring instinct OF
love breaks in the door, and in the midst
OF flames and falling walls reSCueS him she
loves This scene is said To be the most
wonderfully realistic Of any fire scene
ever presented on tie stage
The heroine wears an entire costume Of
asbestos, and as the door finally Yields to
the blows of her ak and She stands ut the
head Of the stairs with the flames fairly
licking her dress and the walls tumbling

V IITH the Bostonians last week there

w was an unusual number Of theatri-

bills. Among them was Will J.
Davis, one Of the most conspicuous
of the Western managers. He owns the
Columbia and Haymarket theaters in Chi
cago and has new theater in st. Louis.
Jessie Bartlett Davis is his wife, This
domestic couple, with their twelve year
boy, spend the restful summer on their
country place at WilIowdale Farmin North

n NE OF the landmarks of American
theatrical history is about TO be
sold. 1t is the old Front Street
Theater in Baltimore. Just a year
ago last Sunday twenty-three Polish Jews
were killed in panic following a false
alarm OF fire, during the performance Of
Jewish play. 1t was built in S29, and at
that time it was regarded as the largest
and finest theater in the land. For forty
years 1t was used for theatrical and circus
purposes. II was burned in S3S, but was
directly rebuilt. Junius Brutus Booth
made his first appearance iii this thedter,
and Jenny Lind sang there in 1850 The
wealth and fashion of Maryland crowded
the house and in four performances her re-
ceipts were $50, 900 The Old Front Street
has national political interest, because
1t was from its stage that Stephen \.
Douglas was nominated for the Presidency
in $50 and Abraham Lincoln for second
term in S64. The old place has been con
demned and closed since the catastrophe
OF last year. The present state of theatri-
cal business in Baltimore ma kes { irnproba-
BILE that any purchaser will have a coHtin-
uatioL OF it's old career in view The walls
will doubtless be razed and it's name and
fame alone will remain permanently in the
annals of the stage.

Last Friday night a tall man, with aristo-

auditorium, listening TO Devere' S fun.
There was a knowing look in his eye.
Finally, he bObbed his head and sought
the manager for permission to speak to
Mr.. Devere.
Wien he reached the stage Sam had Just
come off. Aren't you the Sam Devere
