ADJUSTMENTS.
GLEN ECHO.-Glen Echo came to the
front last night with a new bll-and
some small change. The outdoor con-
cert by Haley's band was, as usual.
one of the chief attractions of the even
ing Mr.. Haley deserves credit for in
Producing plenty of popular rhythms In his
programs and at the same time for inter-
spersing selections which interest the more
| musicianly temperament The amphithea-
ter bill was opened by Hamilton and Joyce
In dialogue and singing skit, which needs
polishing. The Chappelle Sisters warbled
few gleeful stanzas and then took to the
sand, where they executed a number OF
spirited and intricate steps. They have
good style and are as winsome a pair OF
little song-and-dance ladies as have come
up the Conduit road in a long time. Del
tino, a fiuffy-haired gentleman In pink
tights, with box-pleat trimmings around
the waist, defied the ordinary anatomical
laws in first-class contortion act Billy
Conley came to the footlights In solitaire
comic opera, of which both the words and
the music made distinct hit with the
dience. Mr.. Conley has struck good gait
in his monologue work, and is building up a
solid capital Of popularity. The audience
was 10th to let him go from the stage.
Goldsmith Hopp gave a musical sketch, N
comedy instead of the conventional negro
makeup. The music ranged from good to
terrible. Their comedy brought the aver
age we'll up, however and they left the
stage on good terms with the faithful in
front. For the closing act Deltno intro
duced a knife-throwing act. assisted by
Mrs. Deltino. a courageous lady and trust
Ing wife. Her display of nerve is equaled
only by Deltinos dexterity in throwing
edged tools at the pine board which makes
background for her statuesque poses.
THE PALM GARDEN.-The Palm Car
den at Cabin John gives another bill this
week which emphasizes the arrangements
intention to cater intelligently and on a
liberal scale to the best element Of this
citys amusement patronage. No down
town theater is conducted with more
strict regard for considerations of refine
ment This weeks program brings on some
new people and an educated quadruped
named Yankee whose sagacity Is a tacit
rebuke to the people who think that ca
mines ought to be Unfortunately hustled
of to the pound. In an intellectual contest
with some human beings Yankee" would
not have altogether the worst of it. The
prima donna of the occasion Is Blanche
Ring, a summer-girlish cantatrice who is
exploited by the management as an "op-
cratic queen but whose strong hold isz
coon songs" Miss Ring made her appear
| ance with the obvious intention Of pleasing
and she had her own way with the audience
before she had completed the first number
Of her repertory. Mr.. Harle, the minstrel
tenor, sang some standard selections in a
strong, musicianly fashion, and was In de-
mand to the extent of several encores Har-
ry Linton and Lila Mcintyre had plotless
little melange of songs and nonsensica1
chatter which kept the audience thorough
ly amused. They have good, brisk style
| and their act Is a neat though unpreten-
tious one with some refreshing novelties in
the way OF stage repartee Lila at times
reminds the spectator of Bonnie Thornton
Of course. without the long stage expert
| ence. The re-engagement of Cadieux the
dapper little athlete who turns dizzy SOM
| ersaults on the bounding wire and smiles
with calm superiority at the audiences ap-
prehensions for his safety, is announced for
this week. The appreciation with which the
Palm Garden has met may be expected to
exercise very perceptible influence in the
matter OF summer amusements for Wash
ington in the future
KERNAN's LYCEUM.-Two big au-
diences crowded into Kernan's Lyceum
| Theater yesterday afternoon and night to
witness the attractions presented by Wal

! Taken as a whole the show can be termed
| frst-class, although 1t lacks originality.
| With the exception Of the opening bur-

shows on the road. With such clever fun
| makers as Jack Crawford and Larry Smith,
| II seems waste of talent to give them Moth

L u

| Minnie Belle opened the oio with cornet

| the best. A series of living pictures fol-

came next with an old turn, entitled "A
| Little Bit or the Top" They were well
