 The opening number is a richly colored operatic overture. 'If I Were King" by Adam, a French composer. Then comes a brilliant orchestral arrangement of Wal ther's song from Wagner's Die Meister- singer" and then a Strauss waltz. Follow ing the first dance number is a lovely song by Schubert, arranged for strings-a beau tiful tone poem. There are three or four Strauss numbers altogether. The "The Beautiful Blue Danube," by Johann Strauss, is not one of them but this popu lar waltz, the finest waltz with one or two exceptions, ever written, will be played as an encore Next to the Strauss pieces the most fetching number, perhaps, will be

Paderewski's much played but never hack neyed menuet.
 Eduard Strauss, the leader of the orches- tra, is one of the greatest musicians living. He is popular in every city in Europe and in New York, Boston and all the other large cities of America he never fails to draw large and cultivated audiences. His orchestra is made up after the usual regu- lation model-strings, flutes, reeds, brass and drums although he sometimes distrib- ute his string choir in a manner peculiar to himself. Against eight first violins and six seconds he has a way of using only two bass fddles instead of four, and in- creasing the violoncellos to equal in num- Der the second yiolins. This arrangement does well enough for dance pieces but for Wagner's music and all big works the foundation must be full and strong. The passes should equal half the number of first violins

A Milk White Flaq.

Hoyts "A Milk White Flag is probably the strongest in point of satire of all his plays. Nearly every element which goes to make up the dramatic and pictorial fabrica- ton of a successful play Is represented in this cynical and musical comedy. Satire and specalties jostle each other in the un- dercurrent of a well developed plot. While the shafts tinged with Hoyt's irony are mainly directed against the militia, yet, however, a few vagnant arrows are re- served for the little weaknesses of widows, undertakers contractors and others who are characterized in the play. The man. agement claim to have drawn into the cast with generous hand the cleverest players adaptable to the roles they impersonate, and it is said that each and every one &C., quit themselves with commendable credit

"A Black Sheep"

Friday evening "A Black Sheep" the successful comedy, will be presented at the Jefferson Theater. "A Black Sheep is merely farce, though there is here and there a touch of something that makes on wonder whether Mir Hoyt had not a serious idea occasionally while he writing. The traces of the deeper currents of hu- man nature cut no figure The succession of ridiculously funny situations, the songs and dances. the terpsichorean feats and the vaudeville features are the magnets which attract.
