The BiJou-Burlesque and Faude
willie.

That the Bijou management is putting
forth every possible effort to make the
stock burlesque company the very best
that has ever offered a similar style Of
stage entertainment. to the thcatresoers
of Washington is evidenced by the i'm
portant announcement OF the enga cement
of Dave Lewis as the principal comedian
of the Bijou organization.
Mr.. Lewis will be seen as member Of
tho stock company tomorrow afternoon,
when he Will appear in the opening first
part, together with the other members Of
the Bijou forces. Lewis most recent en-
gagcmcnt was as the principal comedian
of the Inflated Ladies Paradise" at the
big Metropolitan Opera House, New York.
Prior to that he was the chief comedian
of The Belle Of New York and The
Belle of Bohemia" during the London
careers of the Lederer productions. He
is accounted enc Of the very ablest Of
the German fun-makers, and the fact
that out Of the vast army Of comedians
who mangle the English language for the
sole sake of provoking laughter. he was
chosen by Manager George Lederer to
succeed Sam Bernard, is pretty good evil
dence of his worth as u comedian.
1t is said that this week perform
ance with the assistance of Dave Lewis,
Matt Kennedy and the other comedians
of the stock orga aniZation, Will be notable
for the vast amount Of comedy injected
during the progress of the opening part
of the show.
The vaudeville portion of the bill will
be headed 10y Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Murphy,
the eminent Irish comedians, who Will
present their very latest sketch in which
they are rcputed to have scored an un-
qualified success. Lew Bloom, the famous
tramp character artist, Will have
budget of funny stories that are said to
be not only new but actually diVcrting,
and he will also sing some parodies on
the songs of the day; the Painter trio,
consisting of two women and one man,
will display many feats in the acrobatic
line and persons who have seen their
performance are loud in their praise; Mr..
and Mrs Neil Litchaeld Will enact a lit
tie rural comedy that should not only be
a pleasing novelty but greatly amuse the
audiences as it is claimed to be replete
with funny incidents; Coakley and Heu-

plays that had been seen in this city

dramas, which served to make it all the
more interesting. Harry Stanton, a prom

! is drink A moral sermon in favor of
temperance is delivered to the audience
in the course of the piece, and it cannot
help but produce good effects.
The play is by Charles H. Langdon and
Eric Hudson, and the scenes are laid
alternately in London and Monte Carlo
1t is written in manner superior to
the majority of English melodramas, as
II is thrilling in many of its episodes, and
appeals forcibly to an audience by reason
of its continuous dramatic interest. The
action is wholly melodramatic. and the
climaNeS are said to be strong and eXcit-
ing. The fight between the haIf-craZed
hero and the villain at the end of the
third act is intensely realistic, and arouses
the audience to the very highest state of
enthusiasm. 1t has plot which is strong
and interesting in itself. and moves
swiftly from one situation to another.
1t stands in no need of vaudeville feat
ures to keep it in its popularity, and their
absence is a decided relief.
The company is said to be a large and
capable one, and includes among it's prin-
cipals Albert Andruss, Maurice Lindner,
Thad Shine, w. F. Garfield, S. f. King

phine Thill. and several others, support
ing Miss Agnes Herndon, who assumes
the role of Sarah Drake. the adventures.
There are several striking scenes and in
cidents. and the play ends happily with
the reclamation of the hero and his mar
riage to his faithful ward, who has loved
him secretly from childhood. There will
be the usual matinees.

The two Clyde Fitch plays. The Climb
ers,' with the Amelia Bingham stock
company, and Lovers Lane" showed
this very prolific dramatist in strangely
different lights last week. THE Climb
ers'' proved to be the cleverest written
and best acted society drama that has
come to the Capital City for a long time
while Lovers Lane" charmed the pa
irons of the Columbia with its refreshing
atmosphere and delightfully."- drawn char
acters. Both plays enjoyed prosperous
engagements. Chase's, with a revival of
''AIazoppa," suffered on account of an
inferior performance, and those who look
TO Mr.. Chase for their vaudeville enter
tainment expressed the fervent wish that
he will never do it again Notwith-
standing the poor performances, the
theatre attracted many of its regular
clientele. The Academy did its customary
large business with The Fatal We'd
ding" a stirring melodrama which had
the advantage of a company of unusual
excellence. The revival of The Little
Minister as given by the Lafayette
Theatre stock company pleased a number
of big houses. and the performance was
entirely satisfactory, with the possible
exception of the leading male part, played
by John L. sullivan, who was out OF MS
element The burlesque houses. Kernan's $
and the Bijou, both had prosperous weeks
with entertainments that were up to their

chnse'.-"A Contented woman"

Chases Musical Comedy Stock Company
will return to Chases Theatre tomorrow
afternoon, after an absence of two weeks.
Mr.. Harlan. Mary Marble, and the other
members of the company made so many
good friends last season and this that
their return will doubtless be enthusiasts
tically welcomed. Their temperance will
be made doubly interesting from the fact
that the new leading woman of the or
ganization. Agnes Rose Lane, will make
her first appearance as a member of the
company in Washington. Miss Lane has
been a Hoyt actress for several years,
but she has never been seen locally. Her
beauty and talent led Mr Hoyt to select
her out of large number of applicants
as the successor to his wife, Caroline
Miskel, when the latter died while play
ing the leading role in "A Contented
Woman" the comedy that will be pre-
sented this week at Chase's. Miss Lanes 8
appearance in the piece is said to be espe-
cially gratifying to her, as her role in
the piece has always been a favorite and
she has acted IL so many times that she
should make successful debut in Wash
Sington.
It will be recalled that "A Contented
Woman was written especially for Mrs
Hoyt and that the author claimed it to
be one of the best plays he ever wrote
The subject of the comedy is woman-s
suffrage, and Mr. Hoyt gave his rare
fund of satirical humor a free rein, with
the result that "A Contented Woman"
abounds in ridiculous situations, while
epigrams sparkle necessarily.
The piece will be put on with new
scenery and costumes, and an enlarged
chorus will render effectively the ensem-
bles that have been written by the musical
director Max Hoffman.
Otis Harlan will be seen in a role that
is new to him, but he has been so long
identified with Hoyts characters that he
should give the part an Interpretation
that will be not only novel, but highly
humorous and entertaining. John w.
Dunno. Mary Marble. Little Chip, David
Andrada Andrew Bode, and the other
members of the company are said to have
good parts. and the specialties to be intro
duced by the various members Of the com
pany are claimed to be entirely unique
and clever.
Mr.. Chase announces that on election
night complete returns from all over the
country will be received over special
wire and will be read between the acts
and after the performance special
musical programme will be rendered after
the regular performance in order TO en-
tertain the audience while waiting Tor

The NntionnI-"Lndy Huntworth's
Experiment.

In Lady Huntworth's Experiment r.
c. Carton has fashioned a plot and re-
lated a story rather out of the ordinary.
even in the comedy line. This play viii
be the bill at the New National this
week, beginning tomorrow night. There
will be a matinee on Saturday.
MEL Frohman's stock company
which will present the comedy here, hard
ly needs any introduction to Washing
ton theatregoers. This season it has at
its head beautiful Hilda Spong. whom
local amusement patrons saw in Tire
lawny of the Wells" and in other plays in
the company's former repertoire. Miss
Spong's personal hit in Lady Hunt
worth's Experiment" when the comedy
was enjoying its long run in New York,
caused Mr.. Frohman to make her the
feature of his company.
Miss Spong plays Lady HuntTorth, or
Caroline Hayward" as she Is known
in the earlier stages OF the play. Her
past is mystery, but she bears the
stamp of gentle birth, and the Rev. Aud
ley Pillinger, susceptible vicar, 10
whom she has hired out as cook, Is so
solicitous of her comfort that she is
virtually the mistress of the household.
Captain Dorvaston. betrothed TO the
gated, and they champion the COCK to
such good effect that even the protests
of the wears sister are of no avail.
Lucy although engaged to the captain,
loves the wears curate, young Thorsby.
and plans to elOpe with him.
Such is the condition of affairs when
Mr. Crayall turns up, suffering from the
after effects of an attack of delirlum
tremens. He is in reality Lord Hunt
worth, and discovers in the wears cook
Lady Huntworth. his divorced wife. BY
this time every man in the household, in
cluding the Wears butler, has fallen in
love with the supposed cook, and COM
plications crowd upon one another so
rapidly that only a playwright of Mr.
Cartons skill would be deXterous enough
to -unentangle matters.
One of the funniest scenes is where the
vicar, the captain, and the ex-husband
each pay a visit to the kitchen to make
love to the fair superintendent thereof
with the result that the captain and the
clergyman are brought face to face, to
the latter S intense embarrassment. When
Lucy returns with the curate, whom she
has secretly married, thus releasing the
doughty military man, IL becomes patent
that the engagement of the latter and
the Wears cook is only matter of
time.
Miss Spong is said to shine to advantage
as Lady Huntworth. The other important
roles will be taken by Arthur Forrest,
Jameson Lee Finney. Grant Stewart. VIII

S Howson. Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, Bea-
trice Morgan. and Nevada Hefron.
