like the musical burglar, seems to grow In
favor. "A Tip on the Derby" Is really a
highly entertaining bit of farce comedy and
is particularly apropos during the present
race meeting here. Harriette WeemS and
company present new dramatic sketch,
entitled "The Violin Maker of Cremona."
1t is an adaptation of Jerome K. Jerome s
"Fennel," and is a rather ambitious at

vaudeville stage is doubtful. though Miss
WeemS and her support make meritorious
cate beauties of Mr.. Jerome's story, Law

program, is another familiar figure here.
Charles Leonard Fletcher made his first
appearance in Washington In a new sketch
consisting of monologue and ''glimpses Of
our most noted actors" Mr.. Fletcher
scarcely does himself justice in the mono
logue unless his idea is to make his most
clever limitations appear all the more en-

a pleasing novelty in his sketch by making
up on the stage. Miss Clara Stevens and
La Petite Alma gave a good exhibition OF
dancing and acrobatic work. Mr.. and Mrs.
Neil Litchfield presented their well-known
sketch of Down at Brook Farm The
Rixfords, head balancers, did not appear
last night, but will today.

Duchess Company is this weeks attraction
at kernan's Lyceum, and it opened to large
business yesterday afternoon and night The

many pretty chorus girls are introduced,
but they are pushed to the background.
The closing farce is entitled "Pickings from
kind the gallery was pleased. The olio Is
really clever and entertaining. Ruby Ma
rion opens with cornet solos that were well
received. Nellie Lawrence and company
gave a short sketch, entitled MY Mother
in-law," which was new and cleverly inter-
preted, winning much approval. The bright
Harvey sisters followed with their we'll
known turn. and, of course. made hit.
James Ten Brooke was funny in German
monologue. and Russell and Tillyne did
some good grotesque dancing tricks. Mon

in their old turn, but plenty of laughter
greeted their efforts. kesser and dwell

were appreciated on account of their novel

NEW BIJOU THEATER.-The Fads and
FollIes Burlesque Company at the New
Bijou this week can be commended from
start to finish. A couple of the acts are
repetitions, but belong in the clever, stand
ard class and are appreciated. Yesterdays

large. The opening and closing burlesquss
are chuck full of fun result of the
comedians of the company being humorous.
Tim Sulivan's Chowder' opens the per-
formarce with rush, and "A Night on the
