HiiOu-NnuGcyflIe,

Manager Grieves has another good bill
this week, and the entertainment pro-
vided for the pauonsI of the Bijou was
served yesterday TO two crowded houses.
Jennie Yeamans is the stellar attraction,
and clever one she proved. Bryant and
Saville are must al comedians who upon
more than one occasion have pleased To-
calites. They repeated their former sue
cesses yesterday. The DeGreaus give per-
formance in mid-air which is remarkable
for its difficulty, and Hattie Stewart, with
Tom Gillin, gives an amusing sketch, IN
which some very clever boxing is done.
Riley and Woods are good in the planta-
tion sketch, and Alice Camelo is pleasing
in several new coon songs. George Aus
tin performs lot of funny antics on a
slack wire. George Howard presents
some wretched limitations. Charles and
Jennie Welch show themselves to be a
clever team, and the Nelson Sisters look
dance, and sing we'll. The Bijou Stock
Company appears in a new curtain-raiser,
and, as usual. scored big hit.

Lafayette-"Cnrmen."

The International Opera Company be-
gan a weeks engagement here with
Carmen" last night at the Lafayette
Square Opera House. before a fair-sized
audience. The title role was played by
Madame Selma Kronold, who scored 4
decided success. Her impersonation Is
full of color and magnetism and her we'll
handled voice has n rich and melting
quality which exactly suits the part. Her
acting, especially in the second and third
acts, won a great deal of applause, which
was well deserved. The supporting COM
pany is, on the whole. good one. George
Mitchell, as Don Jose, does some of his
best work in the third act and fourth
scenes especially in the latter. His man.
ner at first was slightly constrained, but
this fault disappeared in course of the
evening.
H. Winfred Goff is not a particularly
fine Escamilo from dramatic point OF
view, but he sings passably well, and
does not over-act the part, which is a
very good quality. Media Morisson
makes winsome and pretty Micaela,
and her voice. though not especially
strong. is sweet and well trained. The
part of Frasquita is. rather limited, but
Mary Howe makes the most of it. and
her singing is probably the best heard in
the company. Forrest d. Carr sang the
part of Zuniga, and Earl z. Parks that
of Morales. while Henry Gunson and
Quinto Zani appear as the two smugelers,
and Amelia Fields gives the role of Mer-
cedes. The chorus is carefully trained
and its costumes are rich and well
chosen. The scenery is all that cou d
be asked. and the performance as
whole seems smooth. even. and satisfac-
tory. The company have reason to feel

Nn,ionnl-eThe conauerors..

Perplexed with dubious anticipations and
conscious that it was taking chances of a
desperate sort, large and severely crit
ical audience witnessed last evening at
the New National Theater the premiere
Washington presentation of Paul Pot
ters Gotham success, 1.-The Conquerors.
That this audience was neither shocked
nor scandalized is now a matter of rec
ord. Indeed, If the whole truth Were told,
all present were delightfully."- disappointed.
Sensationalism failed to sensationalize,
while the promised risque and reported
indecent scenes neglected to surpass SINH
lar situations in at least two previous
hits namely, ..Aristocracy' and The

ever so bad, the merit of the Interpreting
company would save it from the slough
of mediocrfty.
1t would be imposing upon the good ma
ture of cold tinanimate type to attempt a
lengthy epit0me on the plot of THE Con-
querors." Suffice it to say that the story
deals with the times of the Franco-Prus-
sian war, and that a martial spirit per-
vades the production. This spirit greets
the eye through the gay Prussian uni
forms and reaches the ear in the gallant
speeches of the caparisoned officers and
in the war songs of Brittany's dancing
girls Eric Won Rodeck, the dissolute son
of a noted Prussian family, is publicly in

of a French nobleman. Chance places her
in his power in the cabaret of a peasant
vagabond, and he determines to avenge
the insult by compelling her to sacrifice
her honor. Finally better nature prevails
and he forsakes his purpose. Immediate

leaving her fainting on the floor, ignorant
of his change of motive. Upon awaking
she determines that Bobeche, the peas
ant. has lost his life in defending her,
and believes Eric to be her despoiler. Up
on this rather unusual foundation the
notable superstructure is erected.
First. both in merit and on the list of in
terpreting people, is William Faversham,
who for the past few years has received
at least his allotted amount of commenda-
tory criticism. To add to this collection

Grand-"Lo.t in siberia"

After a long period of darkness, the
Grand Opera House opened yesterday af-
ternoon under new management with Da-
Wis & Keoghs new melodrama, Lost in
Siberia" as the attraction. The theater
has not been at all altered or improved
during the hot weather. and looks much
as it did last season. Two audiences
neither of them exceptionally large-gath-
cred at the performances offered and sig
nified various degrees of tepid enthusiasm
over the thrills and chills of the piece.
Lost in Siberia" could hardly be called
a perfect play by the most charitable, Its
managers have often been accused OF
having their vehicles constructed by the
office typewriter, and none of the pre-
sentations they have sent on the road in
recent years bears so many ear marks
OF this as does the one offered yester-
day at the Grand. Its scenes are conven-
tional, its plot impossible. and the man
ner in which its story is followed so loose
and vague as to be frequently incompre-
hensible There are however, one or two
strong situations and these were taken
advantage of by the gallery in the most
fervent way.
The production is well staged, no less
than twelve separate and distinct sets
being used in its four acts. The cast. too.
deserves some credit if only for doing its
best under most discouraging circum-
stances. More rehearsal is needed, how
ever and some of the people engaged
must become more familiar with their
lines before attempting to understand
their meaning. Smoothness is the most
crying need of the presentation. Duncan
Preston made fair hero of the belliger-
ent order and Lloyd Bingham a villain
who was consistently villainous from the
rise to the fall of the curtain. NJ J. Jor-
dams military governor, whose name was
unpronounceable despite instructions on

ert McWade, Jr., and Frank Russell de-

Academy-"when London Sleeps.


when London Sleeps" with its vulgar
suggestiveness, its cheap sentiment. its
impossible situations, and, last but not
least, its poor cast, returned to the
Academy of Music last night for its fifth
engagement in two years. The success
with which this production has met in
the course of its career seems wonder
full. The company having the offering in
charge has made hundreds of dollars in
catering to the most depraved tastes of
the public, during its two years of finan-
cial triumph The presenting organization
has not in any way improved. The only
person in the entire cast who deserves
especial mention, either for her ability
to act, or for the clear enunciation of
her lines, is little Lille Haure who plays
the conventional ''me cheild" with fin
ish that could be observed with profit by
her co-workers.
A C. Hendersons impersonation of the
hero, David Engelhart, Is fair in contrast
with the poor showing of others in the
combination, while Neva Harrison does
not accomplish much as the prosecuted,
rope-walking heroine. She speaks her
lines with an accent that seems a cross
between music hall French and cockney
English, and though in one or two scenes
she becomes almost acceptable, taken as
a whole her acting is very poor, The
deep-dyed villain of F. A. Yelvington,
whose name heads the printed list, mer-
tied the Kisses with which he was greeted
several times during the evening. The
nearest approach to good work, excepting
only that of the child, was made by
George e. Murphy and Adelaide Goundre,
as BERTHE Broomhead, particularly idiot
ic dude, and Maude de Frere, an excep-
