After week of darkness. the Grand
will re-enter the local amusement field
on next Monday, when the Behman COM
pany, an organization that is said to be
without a peer in it's line, will furnish
the entertainment. The roster of the
troupe is a most promising one. The first
of its several headliners are the Four
Cohans. q quartette Of comedians well
known in vaudeville circles. George Co
han. In particular. has made quite a rep
utation as a sketch writer. many of his
outputs having been seen at Manager
Chase's house during the current season.
Mr.. Cohan is averrsd to be as clever an
interpreter as he is a compiler, and to
his admirers this must mean much. Then
there are the Rossow Midgets. two little
fellows whose performance is described as
being bright and amusing to a degree.
Both of the diminutive chaps box, and
the younger presents an imitation of Anna
Held that has been highly praised. Diana.
a mirror dancer who is announced in con-
junction with the SHOW has been in
Washington frequently. Her work really
is graceful and pretty. while the accom-
panying electric effects add much to its
memorability. There are theatregoers
who consider Diana the equal of La
Loie Fuller, Madame Hermann, and
Of Mile. Lolita. The remainder OF the
Behman company may be expected to con-
tribute filling in of the best quality.
There are the Three Merkel Sisters, aero
bats: Yorke and Adams, Hebrew imper-
senators; Ethel Levcy. character singer;
Fred Niblo. monologist, and Rama and
Arnot, comedians. Altogether, the bill
looks to be an excellent one, and doubt
less IL will draw the best OF audiences.

THINGS THEATRICAL.

Richard Mansfield will play an engage
the Columbia. Oh Monday. Wednesday.
and Thursday evenings, and at the Sat
urday matinee he will be seen in an adap-
taticn OF Jessie Fothergiu's The First
Violin" Mr.. Mansfieid's portrayal of Eugen
Courvoisier, and. indeed. his maintenance
of the story's charm and musical atmos-
phere have been highly praised. This
musical atmosphere. by the way. &c said
TO pervade the piece throughout. Nearly
all the male characters are musicians
members OF the Tonhalle Orchestra. in
which Courvoisier seeks to submerge tis
identity. The action of the offering calls
for several vocal and instrumental touches.
which. 1t may be depended upon. will be
adequately supplied.
They who have read The First Violin
may be interested in learning that the
drama opens in Friedhelm Helfen's lodg-
ings at Frau Schmidts, where come Eugen
Courvoirsier and his boy. The scenes fol-
lowing reveal the interior of the railway
station and restaurant at which the hero
meets May Wedderburn; the lodgings
mentioned-this time on Christmas: the
assembly rooms at the Town Hall, and the
Gothic chapel OF the Castle. In thes.
places Is followed the theme SO exceed
ingiy we'll dealt with in the book.
IL is a pleasure to find a novel OF the
order of THE First Violin on the stage
Jessie Fothergill's tale contains a note OF
optimism that should be positively re-
freshing from behind the footlights. The
work offers abundant proof of the fact
that there is real inter L outside Of Illicit
love. for Eugen Courvoirsier's romance is
OF the purest and highest type. According
to the press agent, Mr.. Mansfield's version
Of the story gets well away from the yarn
OF the degenerates, in which no one ex-
cept the other mans wife is wooed. and
in which the wooing always is done by the
other wife's husband But then Mr. Mans
field has record along these lines. The
actors repertoire contains absolutely moth
ing Objectionable.
This repertoire will fill that portion OF
the Washington week not given to THE
First Violin" On Tuesday evening
"Cyrano de Bergerac" will have an elabo-
rate revival; Beau Brummel' is to be
seen on Friday night, and the farewell
performance will be OF DIR. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" Seats are selling.

ATCHISoN'S PROSPECTS.
A director of the Atchison system was quoted as
follows yesterday regarding the road:

I not surprised at the strength OF Atchtson
issues, considering the showing that the road iS
now making. 1t is now receiving g 16 for every
freight mile. which is better record than most
of the other Western roads. / do not believe there
is another road in the country that averages as
many miles haul a ton of freight as the Atchson
average being $40 miles The Atchison is grad
ually increasing its train load. We now have heavy
engines steel bridges and large cars, and our road
bed is in a condition to facilitate heavy traffic at
a minimum expense. Crop conditions along the
entire line good. The corn crop failure in Nan
will not be great detriment, as The large whs 1t
crop in that State makes up for all corn dencencies
The California fruit crop is excellent, and there
will be a big cotton crop in Texas this year One
of the advantages of the AtChson is that 1t covers
such a large territory that it is not dependent
upon the crop of any State. The road Is now
in a position it occupied before that Is, 70
operate ratio that will compare favorabIy Win
her leading roads in adjacent territory. we ieel
confident the road Vlll show -ross earnings or
$50 this fiscal year, compared with S46OOOOJ
