the entire play are lightened by some good
comedy, furnished by young artist, who
has too much mother-in-law. The play will
be produced here with precisely the same
scenery, mechanical effects, costumes and
with the same attention to detail as char
acterized its recent successes in Boston and
Philadelphia.

Although recently organized. this company
has set pace which the veteran burlesuue
organizations will scarcely overcome An
abundance of gorgeous scenery and costly
costumes, together with an exceptional
company of meritorious burlesquers pre-
sentlng an entertainment composed OF fresh,
Fevel and up-to-date features, has served to
give this organization a place at the head
OF all competitors. The performance begins
with satirical political burletta, entitled
The Columbian Reception An excep-
tionally good olio follows, in which will be
seen Frank Moran, the favorite monologue
posed of Messrs. F. R. Gerard, B. R. Cook
H. c. West and L. L. Pike, in their novel
speciality, "a Soldiers Life in Camp"
Thomas and Quinn, in eccentric bit of
singer Of popular rag time" melodies, and
the Millar Sisters. two charming and petite
artists, in catchy songs and acrobatic
dances. The concluding feature on the
program is spectacular burlesque en-
titled, Mike, from KIondlke" AS its name
implies it is a travesty on the prevailing
gold craze. AS a whole this is one of the
best entertainments to be seen at the Ly-
eeum this season. There will be matinees
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
BIJOU FAMILY THEATER.-Mr. and
Mrs. VIM. Robyns. the well-known dra-
matte stars, are underlined for the coming
week, producing for the first time in Wash
inetcn their clever one-act farce, entitled
The Counsel for the Defense" This act
alone will undoubtedly pack the house.
The olio consists of such high-class artists
as the peerless Coincidence queens Miss
Pauline Markham and Kathryn Dana in
an act written especially for them, entitled,
Just Off the Road" which showsSthe
achievements and versatility of these Old
time favorites. James Richmond Glenroy,
eccentric comedian, in a witty melange of
popular songs; the wonderful Japanese ar
lists, the Tanakas, in their unique and
surprising features; beautiful Mable Craig,
the dainty vocalist and dancer; the Brown
ings. in comedy sketch, "A Bunch of
Nonsense in which MI. Browning made
the greatest New York hit singing, MIR.
Johnson, Turn Me LOOSE Willard and
Herbert, vocalists and dancers; Fredo and
appear here this week. but could not ow-
ing to sickness, Will positively appear next
week. and the Bijou Stock Company in
the farce. "Dr. Hammond's Troubles" The
management propose to give dollar show
for 10 cents.
ANTHONY HOPE.-Mr. Anthony Hope
will make his appearance as reader of his
own stories at the Columbia Theater next
Monday afternoon, and in the Universalist
Church In the evening of the same day.
If the glowing accounts of his reception
in Boston, Brooklyn and the other large
centers are to be taken as any indication
of his success in this new role he must
certainly have proved himself to be as
pleasing with his tongue as with his pen.
1t is said that he is at his best in the
lighter selections such as 1.-The Dolly Dia-
logue." extracts of which he has placed
no less than four upon each of his pro-
grams for Washington. These he inter-
prets with a lively and very taking grace.
Mr.. Hope doesn't attempt anything so
meretricious as elocution. He simply reads
the passages in his own excellent, repose-
full way but never does the lacquer of their
literary style their half light yet alto
gether serious embodiment of later day
cynicism, stand out so clearly.
THE HASTREITER CONCERT. The
sale of seats for the Hastreiter concert
opens at Drops Monday morning. Nine.
HaStreiter is one of the greatest contratos
row before the public. A strong comnany

who makes his debut this tour. From
the accounts received he has made a sue
cess. Signor G;acomo Quintano is a young

New York the past two seasons as soloist
with the prominent orchestras and at the
Metropolitan Opera House Sunday evening
concerts. Herr Won Scarpa completes the

weeks run at Wizards Hall, will begin its
concluding week Monday. There has been
q strong demand by the public of Wash
ington for further continuance of these
popular performances, but owing to the
fact that the number Of biosraph machines

cities of the country have not been visited,
the Washington managers are compelled
to close their engagement here for the
present season. Several new views will be
added to the repertoire for next week
