1t might have occurred to Mr.. Page,
however, that there is a slight difference
between ruthless condemnation and hon
est criticism-the sort of criticism that
aims to sink personal feeling In order to
correctly advise play-goers to whom
the price of seats is considerable. This is
the sort of thing to which business man
ayers of local papers have consistently
objected and to which Washingtonians,
therefore, are not used. Perhaps the lack
of this prejudice In The Times is what
has misled Mr.. Page into the belief that
the reviews he mentions are always un-

however. he should have been more for

Washington is having its full quota of
OPERAS this year. Not a week has passed
during the last two months without its
share of knock-kneed choruses and bald
headed orchestra leaders. Orpheus, who
must have made general nuisance OF
himself if the lutes he used were no more
tuneful than are those now on exhibition
in various conservatories, has been for
some time the reigning god of the locali-
ties. occasionally being seen astride of
the golden calf, but oftener supported
only by his own satisfaction. 1t was
to have been expected that under these
circumstances theater-goers would have
grown weary of any entertainment in

ing combinations have done an enormous
business. The last of these came to town

records that space forbids detailing them.
Suffice 1t, then, to say that Frank Daniels
and his dual successes, The Wizard of
the Nile" and The Idols Eye" not only
hacked the Columbia at every perform
ance but came dangerously near over
topping the high-water mark left by the
last booking there. Three weeks of one
comedian within half year and nearly
$4,000 to his credit for that period creates
u new standard in the theatrical annals OF
this city. OF course, with one house
