KERNAN's LYcEUM THEATER.-Fred
1rwin's majestic burlesquers opened a
weeks stay at Kernan's Lyceum yesterday,
and big audiences greeted the performers
both IN the afternoon and evening. The show
left Chicago very late Saturday night, ar
irving in Washfngt on around the noon hour,
and as result short delay was occa-
stoned, but this only served to whct the APP
pentes of the spectators and create enthu-
siasm. The two hurlesques are put on
with unusual care the scenery and dresses
being elaborate, and yet in good taste.
while the performers threw enough ginger
into their work TO make the presentations
really enjoyable something unusual at this
mouse during the past fortnight. The olio
borders on the sensational in spots. The
three Merrills, comedy, trick and fancy BIZ
cycllsts, created great enthusiasm through
their original and daring work, and the
Iodd-J Judge family of acrobats were neck
and neck in the division of honors for first
place. kolb and Dill were newcomers in
German act, and were well received, while
Marie Beaugarde proven herself pleasing
singer with an attractive personality. The
TWO sister turns in the olio, Mitchell Sis
tiers and Harvey and Irwin, were praise
worth, as the ladies were pretty and good
singers. James f. Leonard, the star of
both burlesques proved clever in two rough
Irish roles and added snap and go to the
performances.
BIJOU THBATER.-There was big BUSH
ness at the Bijous two performances yes
terday. This week the stock company pre-
s sent an opening hodge-podge, entitled
Monte Carlo Sports the atmosphere
whereof recalls the dear dead days of Jack
son City. and whose sports are of the tin
horn variety. The olio averages well and
contains some clever features. The Eight
Mascotts, the Five Whirlwinds, the Nc
Caithos. Craig and Mcdonald, and Chas w.
Young are the entertainers whose work on
the whole averaged high as variety bills go.
DE PACHMANN's RECITAL ToMOR-
ROW.-De Pachmanns single piano recital
in this city will take place tomorrow after
noon at AIS at the Columbia Theater 1t is
said the famous virtuoSo plays in more
mastery style than ever; that his staccato
that rarest of pianistic attainments-is as
matches as of yore. while his cantabile
effects are marked by a delicacy and ten
derness which, combined with a marvellous
facility of execution, excite the greatest
possible admiration. Half of De Pach-
mann's program tomorrow afternoon will
be devoted to the compositions of Chopin.
Until one has heard De Pachmann play
Chopin one can never hope to fully appre-
clate the wonderful beauty of the Polish
writer's compositions AS is well known.
Vladimir de Pachmann stands absolutely
without rival in his rendering Of the
works of this composer. De Pachmann's
striking individuality is very apparent in
his music, so he plays no one else plays,
he talks and does many things one
else does. and the public admire just such
an unusual personality and flock to his con-
certS His program tomorrow afternoon is
a very fine one and contains many famous
compositions such as the Beethoven VALID
stein Sonata, the Schuman G minor Sonata,
the Black Key Study of Chopin the Chopin
Third Balade. the Weber Invitation to the
Dance, besides number Of works of Cho-
pin and Schubert. Additional interest at
tacnes to this concert, as 1t is given under
the auspices of the Damrosch Society, and
therefore is bound to be successful, as all
the concerts given by this organization are.
