Kernan's-John L. Sullivan

John L. Sullivan. the champion of cham
pions. the hero OF many battles, the idol
of all lovers of the manly art of self-de-
Tense. and the owner of many other fat
tering titles, opened at Kernan's yester-
day and the welcome he received threw
aside any doubt as to his popularity here.
The house was not large enough for all
who wanted to see the great ex-fghter.
He is now quite heavy, but in his set-to
with Ed. White, his sparring partner, he
showed some OF his old-time agility and
cleverness. He demonstrated how he won
some of his battles by giving examples of
his blows. Miss Rolla White gave a fin
ished exhibition OF bag punching. In the
merry comedy. "A Trip on the Ocean.
in which the company appears, Sullivan
had little to do but look well in a becom-
ing yachtsmans costume. The house was
so demonstrative that he had little chance
to make himself heard.
The olio Is one OF the best that has
appeared here this season. and includes
Miss Emma Carus. In baritone songs;
DarmOdy. with Indian clubs; Golden Trio.
Fetching brothers, Deity and Murray. in

BitOu-EaudeyiIIe.

Miss Truly Shattuck is the leading fea-
ture of a very strong bill at the Bijou this
week, and she was welcomed at both per.
formances yesterday by large and enthu-
siastic audiences. She sang number of
selections In good voice. and soon became
favorite. The St. BelmOs presented a
difficult and daring trapeze act. Carrie
Fields contributed some clever songs and
dances. The Olympic Quartette, as the
Independent Colored Cadets scored a
hit with their drill, and the Chappelle sis
tiers were pleasing in songs and dances.
Ray l. Royce and his monologue Kept the
house in a roar of laughter. Beatrice
Mauvelle pleased with her catchy songs
and AleXcia seemed homeless. His con-
tortion act is remarkable. Everybody
knows Lew Baker. He had a lot of new
things TO say yesterday. and when he
said them the house was delighted. Chu-
lita is a pretty little soubrette. who
dances in a dashing manner. Sam and
Clara Adams. Lillian Robe and the rest
of the Bijou stock company. opened the
show with a burletta. the features of
which were some bright music and a
cake walk.

Columbia "Nyhat Dreams May
Come"

When Nine. Janauschek made her first
entrance into Paul Kesters play, What
Dreams May Come" ten minutes after
the curtain had risen last night at the
Columbia Theater she was greeted by
q large audience, the greater part of
which had arrived after the play began.
That audience soon redeemed itself,
however. by waxing really enthusiastic
over thoroughly pleasing portrayal of
an equally meritorious drama.
In What Dreams May Come Mr..
Kester has gotten away from the tales
Of gypsy character which first made him
famous. and shown. instead, a knowledge
OF play-writing nothing less than re-
markable. The piece is strong in the eX-
treme, clear. concise, consistent and
coherent. Aside from this. its main
merit is a certain weird element that,
without being at all repulsive, attracts
In the same way that a venomous snake
does. Unconventional and novel in its
motive this singular background for the
plot lends more than half the charm to
What Dreams May Come"
The story is rather involved. and so
mixed as to its comedy that one is left

AT THE THEATERS.
SationaI-"The Ballet Girl"

National-"The Ballet Girl"
Rice's latest extravaganza received its
first Washington presentation at the New
National last night, a large audience be-
ing present to witness the bow of The
Ballet Girl" 1t is not up to the stand
ard Of its class and is probably tho most
inferior OF the four productions touring
the country under the Rice management.
The company presenting THE Ballet
Girl is not able to save it from the
slough of mediocrity. Miss Crater, who
has the title role, appeared at a very
great disadvantage, having recently
sprained her ankle. Her song, AT the
Old Stage Door," is by all odds the best
thing in the piece. Miss Hepner, is far
below the Rice standard and only her
ability as an actress redeemed her work
at all. The gentlemen are as a rule su-
perior TO the ladies. Mr.. Ricketts, is un-
doubtedly the best OF the principals, al
though Mr. Chris. Bruno and Mr.. Snitz
Edwards made a very good impression.
With the aid of the little street band.
Mr.. Adams succeeded in enlivening some
scenes which otherwise would have as
sumed a very funereal aspect.

Academy-"The Pacific Mall"

In many respects the best comedy seen
here at popular prices this year is The
Pacific Mail" which was presented at the
Academy of Music last night. The piece
was originally a very heavy melodrama,
but the author. Paul Potter. decided that
the locale was much more suitable TO a
musical comedy and rewrote the piece.
II is now a very clever skit. bright in
dialogue, replete with comic situations
and lively with the strains of recent popu-
lar music.
The company presenting the comedy is a
fine one. Including that very excellent
comedian. opera singer and all around

Meanwhile in India, the countess has

she discovers the relationship, avenges
herself by proving to the father that
the boy is his as well as hers and re-
stores him to his sweetheart The oc-
cult element is brought out fully, and
by it's mystery and novelty makes the
play one of absorbing interest.
Nine. Janauschek is still clever wom-
an, with dramatic technique that is
wonderful in its scope. Her work last
night was deliberate and careful. In
every sense of the word that of an art

only other familiar face in the production
Is that of VIII Greasy as Cy Prime. and
his representation is quaint. funny, and
delicious as ever. Mr.. Fred Clare makes
an effective Happy Jack, and Mr. Gus
hammerlee is very good in the part Of
Henry Hopkins. The remarkable CALI
ope whistle of Eb. Ganzy seems to have
vanished I'm the past, for some reason or
other, but Mr.. John Barker, who now
plays the part of the hired boy. does
some very good acting. Miss Annie
Thompson, as Rickety Ann, and Mrs
Louisa Morse. as Aunt Matilda are both
good, while Miss Marie Kimball gained
round or two of applause as the apple
woman. The double quartet is stiIl one
of the finest features of the play, al
though the spectacle of a lot of hungry
haymakers philosophically singing 1.-THE

The beauty of the singing sail that saves
this performance. and that II does save II

The Grace Church scene was also highly
appreciated. The production is the best

CAN We BE CURED
OF Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Consumption?
A Test by Which the True Value of
All Cures Can be Determined.

How many thousands there are today
who would gladly pay almost any reason
able sum TO be cured of either one of the
above diseases, but, knowing of SO many
different remedies and treatments, are
unable to decide which one to try. 1t does
seem difficult task, yet becomes a COM
paratiyely easy one If the person afiiict-
ed will but use little good judgment and
common sense. In the first place, every
man and woman knows. or should know.
that the air passages were made for air
alone, and that nature has so construct
ed these passages that moisture of any
KIND cannot enter the bronchial tubes or
lungs. This at once precludes all posi-
billty of n cure of deep-seated diseases
being erected by treatment requiring the
use of sprays. dOuches, atomizers or va
pors. Secondly, all regular physicians ad-
init that these diseases are purely local
and must be treated locally, consequent
ly stomach medicines become useless in
treating diseases of the air passages. The
diseased parts must be reached through
the air we breathe or not at all Not
only this. but a germcidc must be used
which will leave the air dry, and yet
have the power to destroy the bacilli OF
disease In the minutest air cells Of the
lungs. This decision reached, then comes
the question. Is there such n germicide
which can be inhaled through the air
you breathe? Thrty-eight hundred ply
sicians and over three hundred thousand
persons who have tested it, say YES.
