Lovers of light opera will be delighted
to learn Of the temperance of the IA
nous Bostonians Monday night at the
National Theater. This company is well
and favorably known everywhere For
years the principal members have been
so closely associated that it is but fair to
say that no other musical organization
in this country has so large and critical
a following. This season the aggregation
Is said TO be larger than ever and among
its singers are again noted the familiar
names of those prime favorites, Henry
Clay Barnebee, William H. Msau3ss1aii,
Jessie Bartlett Davis, Helen BSrtram
William E. Philip George rockingham,
William Broderick Harry Brown. W. II.
Fitzgerald, Josephine Bartlett Lloyd
Rand. Carolyn Daniels, Norman Cramp-
ton. Charles Hawley. and S. L. Studley
For the engagement here the following
repertoire has been arranged: Monday
Tuesday. Wednesday and Friday nights
and Saturday matinee, Victor HERBERT s
The Serenade." and on Thursday and
Saturday nights. DeKoven's Robin
Hood"
The first-named piece now in its Sec
ond season, has found instant favor with
music lovers. 1t is not unreasonable to
state that THE Serenade" is a worthy
opera there is the same clear-cut story.
the same predominating element OF
comedy and an atmosphere romantic, pic
turesque and satisfying. The many tribu-
lations with which a jealous duke is be-
set, the ludicrous attempts of a stage
struck tailor TO win a lady of quality
with his bad singing. the dashing adven-
lures of a baritone and the persistent
pursuit of danseuse after her recreant
lover are all pleasantly remembered. 1t
was agreeably noted last year that the
libretto OF THE Serenade" is subordi-
mated TO the score, and the succession of
melodious numbers which rapidly reach
the ear speak highly of Mr.. Herbert S
facility and grace in composition.
Apropos of Robin Hood 1t is not
amiss TO say for decade the Offering has
delighted thousands. Everybody is IA
miliar with its romantic story and tink-
ling melodies; with the dron impersona-
tlon of the Sheriff of Nottingham, by Mr.
Barnabee; with the unctuous effrontery Of
Friar Tuck by Mr.. rockingham: with
the spirited drinking song. Brown octo-
Der Ale" by Mr. Macdonald: with the
famous and beautiful ballad, "Oh, Prom
Use Me-" by Jessie Bartlett Davis: with
the delightful masquerade of Maid Mar
ian, so spiritediy interpreted by Helen
Bertram; and with other ballads and in
cidents which enlist the services of the
entire company

While the step between 1.-THE Prisoner
of Zenda" and Rice & Barton's Big Gale
ty Company may seem ike that from the
sublime to the ridiculous the same spirit
of fairness that prompts praise for the
one must suggest commentator for the
other. The stars of the latter organiza-
ton are not mere buffoons but comedi-
ans of ability and intelligence They car
ry with them show that might, per-
haps be trifie more richly costumed
and staged, but than which there has new
er been better at Kernan's. Both of the
burlesques are really funny and are en-
acted with spirit and dash that are ad-
mirable. The olio. too, does not contain
dull number and the entire performance
is worthy of all that may be said good of
1t.

of recent New York and London successes
will be seen next week at the Lafayette
in Charles Frohman's production of his
new farce, "A Brace of Partridges." The
piece is said to be thoroughly English in
its quaint and quiet humor. while the
company employed in the presentation is
without exception the same that was seen
for several months in London. Thus the
atmosphere of play and players should
both be retained, and the performance
will probably be found to be as pleasing
a one as could be desired The sale of
seats opens this morning.

The theater-goers of Washington will
next week be called upon to pass judg-
ment upon what is said to be one of the
greatest of this seasons crop of plays.
1t is called THE CarpetbagGer," and will
be presented by Tim Murphy at the Col
umbia. THE Carpetbagger'' was written
by Opie Read. the well-known American
novelist. and Frank s. PiXley, a prominent
Chicago newspaper man. Ii has been pre-
sented in some of the larger cities of the
West for the past month, and although
the performance at the Columbia will
mark its metropolitan debut, the piece will
come here in smooth running order and
there will be an absence of the rough
places so frequently seen In new produc-
tions.
THE Carpetbagger' has been chosen by
Mr.. Murphy to signalize his return to his
native city. The last time he was seen
upon a Washington stage was in the tri-
umphant farce success, "A Texas Steer"
in which he won fame for his superb char
acterization of Maverick Brander, the
Texan congressman. In his latest effort
the star is seen in the role of Melville
Crane, the carpetbag governor of Miss:s-
sippi, in 1861. 1t is not Brander whom we
meet, but much more substantial sort
of a mana man with a powerful brain,
a breadth of vision, and latent nobility of
character which the hero of a farce could
not have. Yet the humorous sides of
both parts are similar 1t is said that Mr..
Murphy has never had such an opportun-
ity for good work as this vehicle affords
and from all accounts he has taken full
advantage of 1t. If the character of Mel
vile Crane had been specially drawn from
him it could not fit him better. 1t is said
that what the women will find to- admire
and rave over in The Carpetbagger" is
the gentle truth of its love Stories and
that to the men the pungent sarcasm and
humor of the strongly drawn hero will
appeal forcibly. There is a negro body
servant to the governor who it is re-
marked by those who have witnessed the
play, is funny to the last degree in action
not as is a minstrel. but in the faithful
exhibition of racial characteristics.
In equipping the comedy with scenery,
Mr. Murphy has taken great pains. The
company to be seen here is described as
being much above the average, and in
cludes Dorothy Sherrod, Eleanor Merron.
Helen Corlette Aubrey Powell. Ogden
Stevens, Gerard Anderson, James Manley,
Olney Griffin, Ralph Thomas, Jerry ].
Snyder, Charles Corbin and Robert Gage.

liHIll THINGS THEATRICAL.

There are at least two performances of
supreme excellence In town this week and
they are bidding fair to do business quite
In accordance with their merits. The first
of these is at the Academy of Music,
where the superiority of 1.-The Prisoner of
Zenda" has proven so manifest that the
sale OF seats has been steadily on the in
crease since the opening night. To say
that E. HI. Sothern was never so able in
the double role of the piece as Is his sue
cessor would not be half sufficient praise
for so efficient and intelligent an actor
as Howard Gould. His impersonation Is
nothing less than remarkable for its re-
serve force and for the thoroughly legiti-
mate methods brought into requisition
Margaret Fuller, as The Times said last
Tuesday, combines the queenly dignity of
Grace Kimball with the sympathetic girl
ishness of Isabel Irving and the remain
der of the cast is excellent. The presenta-
ton is marked by n notable lack of cheap
tricks and petty efforts at pleasing the
ignorant. No more artistic bit of work
has been seen here In a long time-none
so clever has ever before appeared at the
Academy.

Tho following political item was clipped
from the Sunday Inquirer:
Politics have taken q back seat this
week on account of tho trial Of United
States Senator Kenney on the charge of
hiding and. nbetsing William N. Beggs In
misapplying the funds Of the First Nation.
al Bank OF Dover. The spectacle OF o
u charge was something new, snd for this
reason the people took moro than ordinary
interest in The matter.
The trial has not been so interesting, as
1t was expected to be, but at tho same time
it has served ito teach an object les.
son of some of tho sharp practices which
have boon in vogue in Dover, Senator
Kenney Ii before u jury for trial, and So
nothing is said Of his case, but oil of those
cases, which have so far been tried in tho
United States Court, have shown that a
very lalnentable state of affairs existc in
Dover,
The people OF this State hope that for the
credit of tho State, as well us for tho
reputation Of Senator kenney, that he will
be acquitted. His friends claim that he
has been unfortunate in being friendly
with man like Boggs. BIZ that rs 1t may,
these trials will have q good effect upon
soma of the people who have been hanging
about the General Assembly for several
years past. There has been q crowd of
lobbyists fully as bad in their way as any
in the United States.
They have practiced their sharp tricks
upon the members of the Legislature for
years, and it was wonder that the tricks
which they played extended to the capital
of the State and later to tho State itself.
This is not u very pleasant admission to
make, but 1t is true. The practice of buy.
ing votes in this State, which is believed
to have been stopped by the new consitu-
ton, grew out of the practices of the crowd
of legislative lobbyists The disclosures
in the Boggs trials have caused the people
to awaken to what was going on, and it
is likely that the atmosphere will be clearer
in II moral way than in tho past.
