AT THE THEATRES.
The CoIumbin-"auo vndis.,

L
| In many respects the production of QUO
Vadis," a dramatization of Sienkiewicz's
7 celebrated novel of that name at the Co
lumbia last night was a commendable one.
That it will be one of the best patronized
plays OF the Washington season was eSi-
denced by the presence of an audience
that utilized much of the standing room
in the theatre at the initial production
of the week
The story of Nero's barbarities in the
treatment of the Christians and the ro-
mantle love episode about which .7any
of the stirring events of his reign are
woven are too familiar to both the read
ing and the playgoing public to need
reiteration.
The cast in last nights production was
large and the leading characters were most
ably portrayed. Joseph Hawortb, as Vim
cinius easily won the honors for mis- superb

makes many demands upon the player AS

The part of Lygia was essayed by Roselle
Knott who filled it with graeefhlness and
sweet NOmanliness that made IL almost
the conception of an :deal, to those who
had familiarized themselves with the hero
Inc of the very popular novel. Miss Knott
infused her conception Of the steadfast
Christian girl with touches of great power
in the stronger scenes and was often re-
warded with demonstrations of approval
by an audience that was unusually unre-
sponsve.

Neros heartless mate, and decidedly pic
turesque in all the situations where she
figured. Mention should also be made of
Charles Riegel for bis delineation of the
gigantic Ursus. He did the part full JUS
tiee, and George Florence Dip as little
Aulus performed a most difficult child
character without the usual tediousness
that surrounds a juvenile in a production
of the Quo Vadis'' type.
The play was elegantly staged and most
admirably managed throughout The
lighting was of the best possible kind
the costumes correct and gorgeous. and
the entire performance made a harmo-
NOUS whole that more than pleased the
hundreds who saw and applauded it.

Chase's-Jessic bartlett Davis.

A good vaudeville, headed by Jessie
Bartlett Davis. the former contralto OF
the Bostonans. pleased two large audi
snces yesterday at Chase's. Mrs. Davis
proved that her absence from the lyric
stage has not lessened the sweet quality
of her voice or diminished in the least her
delightful personality, which has always
been an important factor in her work.
She has not made the mistake of aiming
too high in her vaudeville offering and
confines herself to selections that are of
the popular order OF course, "Oh. Prom
Use Ne" was a part of her contribution,
for Mrs. Davis without this De Koven
song would be much like the Shake
spcarean drama without the Danish
prince. This one-time favorite of Robin
Hood" audiences was warmly welcomed
as was also a composition attributed to
the singer and entitled Just Because l
Love You So" a very good song in which
the Davis contralto was admirably dis
played. Besides these. The Way TO Win
a Womans Heart" and Good Night, Be-
loved" were included in the repertoire of
the former associate of Henry Clay Barna-
bee and W. H. Mcdonald.
The Chase bill includes two fun-creating
numbers that are uncommonly good, al
though totally unlike in character. One.
a sketch by Herbert Hall Winslow, and
ca He'd THE Kleptomaniacs." is capitally
played by John c. Rice and his talented
wife. Sally Cohen. The playlet is unique
in these days of sketch writing, although
it is not of recent product. 1t is sutll-
GENTLY animated from the very first en-
trance of the two players to keep the aud
fence in a state of merriment until the
final speech, and during this period Mr..
Rice and Miss Cohen have been subjected
to any number of seemingly unexplain-
able complications, all of which, how
ever, are properly Strengthened out just
before the end. The sketch is full of
bright lines, and as a thirty minute en-
tertainment is one of the best the vaude-
Vile stage possesses. Then too, Lew
sully, who will be remembered as genu-
inely funny end man with the Primrose
& Dockstader Ministries, has a
first-class monologue in which the jokes
new ones, it should be remarked come
with a rapidity that stir> up the mental
faculties of the audience, Mr.. Sully, In
addition to being an original comedian, IS
a really good singer, and his songs are

The Acndemy-"Nenr tae Throne.D

The Academy has for its bill this week
a curious and far from unworthy combina-
tion-a melodrama, dramatized from a

turned MANIFOLD.

The fact that no gold was engaged
for export to London tomorrow re-
lieved an apprehension on that score,
further lowering in the buying price OF
gold from London this morning and the
easier tone of the London money mar
ket wiping out the margin of profit on
the transaction. 1t is evident that
London is not uneasy over the suff1-
cheney of its present money resources

drawing credits. The belief still pre-

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Nov. 15.--The cotton mar
ket opened steady, with prices I'M
changed to points higher, Wall street
and room buying, chiefly late months,
caused the early steadiness. Prospects
of lighter receipts and a cold weather
map were the basis for the early pur-
chases, these influences at the same
time serving to check selling for either
account. But soon after the call bear
leaders raided the market, breaking
January down from 1850 to 7.50c within
a few minutes. A sharp break in LIS
erpool and light liquidation by room
longs gave the market a weak appear
ance for the moment. When the bear
pressure was removed, however, the
market Immediately exhibited strong
undertone and for the rest Of the fore
noon worked steadily higher, January
reaching 1900 on good Wall street
support, buying. for Southern account
and demand from shorts. Trading at
times was. quite active, with sentiment
as to the immediate future decidedly
bnrlish. The forecast indicated general
frost in the belt with freezing temper
atures over important areas in the ter
ritories and Northern Louisiana. soutn-
ern markets were .firmer on export de-
nfand, with holders disposed to hold on.
Aside from Wall street buying, local
commission houses were rather siimly
supplied with orders. Near the close
profit-taking carried prices off point
or two. The close was barely steady,
and net points lower to l points
higher.

ton from similar sources, it is: antici-
pated by many that the estimate is
sued by them on Dec. will be from
10000 900 to 10,500.000. However it must
be forgotten that last year every one
expected the bureaus estimate to be
9,500,000, and on that theory spots were
accumulated and held firmly through
out the South, when the document was
officially promulgated, giving 10000, 900
as the estimated or 100000 larger than
looked for, it occasioned quick break
OF over cent pound. From all indi7
cations to-day, Texas spot holders have
remembered the disappointment expe-
rienced. last season by holding for the
bureau, and We're therefore anxious to
sell whenever an opportunity presented
itself. Values are regulated by supply
and demand. and it does not follow that
the size of the crop establishes prices,
In 1898 the crop was only 6,700, 600,
following the 100000 crop of S9l-92,
On the prospect of q small crop, cot
ton was run up 10 10 cents, but owing
TO bad trade, even though receipts were
ridiculously light, it subsequently de-
clined to So cents. Therefore. even if
this crop is moderate one, it is neces-
sery that a decided revival in Euro
pean textile trade be established, there
fore any permanent enhancement can
not be maintained unless active spec
ulation can be. attracted to the article
