The farce comedy success of the pres
ent season, The Star Gazer," will be the
attraction at the Academy of Music, Mon
day evening next. 1t is from the pen of
well known author, Franklin Lee, and
has been construed solely for the pur-
pose of amusing the public There is a
plot, as matter of course, but the spec
tator is not burdened with an intricate
story to tax his mental capacity. 1t
deals with the subject of astronomy in
a very pleasing way, exposing some of
the foibles and fancies of those who de-
light in studying the heavens. The prin-
cipal star gazer of the company is a COM
edian of the first magnitude Mr.. Joe OFT
His unctuous humor is said to find a
ready response in the uncomfortable
laughter of his audiences. He is a VERT
able prince of fun makers, and the lesser
satellites in his support are actors and
actresses, each of whom contributes to
the sum total of the merriment
That the production will redeem all the
pledges of the management is seemingly
guaranteed by the names of the follow
ing well known farce comedy people: w.
r. Harris, Miriam Martell. Rosa Hale.
Tim Cronin Phil OFT, Leona Cardona,
Gladys Clare, Matt OFT, ]. d. McCabe
and others equally prominent The songs
and medleys introduced by the cast are
all new and up-to-date, while the terpsi-
chorean numbers were especially arrang-
ed for this production. Specialties are
given in each act, and are said to be of
a character which would reflect credit
upon the most pretentious vaudeville or
CARNATIONS.

Chicago has a circuit of her own, there

COMING TO THE THEATERS.

Interest still continues to increase in
the coming engagement of The Bride
Elect" John Philip Sousa's new opera,
which will be given for the first time in
this city at the Lafayette Square next
Monday. Reports of the success of this
latest work by the composer of lei Capt.
tam continue to reach here and we are
assured that Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, the only cities in which it
has been produced, have known no
greater success in years. Not only will
the new piece be interesting because of
Sousa's music, but because of the fact
that the march king himself wrote the
lyrics. which have been called quite the
equal of anything given US by a native
lbrettist
Another matter that has won praise for
the opera is the manner in which it is
produced. Superlatives are used freely
in descriptions of the settings, appoint
ments, and costumes: and it is declared
that no production of comic opera ever
given here or abroad has been equal in
magnificence to that of THE Bride
Elect" 1t is said that nearly s40,0 600 has
been expended upon the staging of the
work. Sousa has taken the island of Ca
pri, in the Bay of Naples. as the scene
of action and has placed his story in a
time when that bit of land may have
been divided into two separate kingdoms.
These two kingdoms are put at war with
each other and the resulting situations
and incidents give abundant opportuni-
ties for humor. both in the music and in
the text. Three characteristic Sousa
marches are contained in THE Bride
Elect" and already one of them, I'm
chain the Dogs of War" is heard in our
theaters. This, in the performance. is
given in a most spectacular manner, fully
che hundred people being employed in
the ensemble. The company contains
Albrt Hart Nella Bergen, Christie Mac
Donald. Lillian Carlsmith, Frank Pol
lock, Melville Stewart, Harry Luckstone
and Edward p. Wilks. The sale of seats
for THE Bride Elect opened with a rush
yesterday morning and still goes merrily
on. For the opening Monday night the
house will be beautifully decorated with
flags and bunting, out of compliment to
the author.

The Corcoran Cadet basketball team
took the Interior Department players
into camp last night in the Globe Build
ing to the tune of the very one-sided
score of twenty to four
Notwithstanding the onesidedness of
the score 1t was for the most part an
interesting game. It gave the Corcorans
an opportunity of putting into play their
free passing tactics, in which their sig
mails played a strong part. The Interior
played strong uphill game, but they
were no match for the soldier boys.
All goals on both sides were from field,
which is the first time this has occurred
this season.
Davis, Dodge and Boulay led in good
