After having been received with great
favor in Toronto, Montreal, Baltimore and
Buffalo, the Lulu Chaser Opera COMPANY
will begin weeks engagement at the Co.
lumbia Theater on Monday evening. No
vember 4, in STANCE and Edwards new
comic opera, Dolly Warden" This will
be Miss Glasers second presentation to the
Washington theater-going public as a star.
F. G. Whitney has surrounded her with an
excellent cast. The chorus numbers forty
and an orchestra Of twenty will assist.
Stanislaus STANCE has written Dolly Var
dem in two acts The first takes place on
! beautiful terrace in the gardens of
Beauchamp Towers-on-T Thames, near Lon
don the splendid residence of Letitia Fair
fax. The second act transpires in the re-
ception hall of Beauchamp Towers The
action OF the piece Is supposed to cover a
period Of twosdays. The time is 1880, only
short time after George / had come over
from Hanover to reign on the English
throne. The court customs instituted by
queen Anne-both as to etiquette and dress
were yet In vogue, and the brilliancy and
the splendor OF the court of the gay Louis
XIV was also having it's effect in England.
Probably at no time before or since has
the english court been so beautifully and
artisticaIiy dressed as at this time. This
fact has given Mr.. Whitney an opportunity
to show how lavishly and extensively. and
yet artistically, comic opera may be
SOoeAAhCo. AAC has spared no mOl6V In
the accomplishment Of this The costumes
Of Dolly Warden were designed by Mime
Seidel of the Metropolitan Opera House.
and made at the famous atelier of Nine.
Freisinger of New York. During the per
fornance Miss Chaser has four changes or
costumes. and each will be surprise. The
hrst dress Is the simple little country dress
which she is supposed to have worn in
hampshire The next is called the little
Dolly Warden dress, with short caught-up
skirt The next a resplendent court dress.
IN which Miss Glaser displays her Jewels.
The last is the bridal dress. which Is a
triumph Of the dressmakers art
Apart from the fact that these costumes
are most artistic creations the additional
fact that they are of a style in female
fashionable dress that Is just coming into
vogue again, after having been almost oh
solete for a hundred and seyenty-fiye
years-the styles of the beau king, Of
France, Louis XV--makes them objects of
more than usual interest to the ladies Of
fashion in Washington.
Miss Chaser is well known to Washing
ton operagoers from her long association
with Francis Wilson as the leading sup
port of that clever artist. Mr.. Whitney has
surrounded his new star with capable ar
lists. nearly all of whom have PLAYED hero
before with reputable organizations. The
list is as follows: Van Rensselaer, Wheeler
Mark Smith, Richie Ling, Tom Daniel
Percy Stephens. Harry Lott Miss E,sfelle

Academy of Music.

Edgar Smiths new comedy drama,
Home, Sweet Home will be the bill next
week at the Academy of Music. The scenes
are laid in little village in New York
state and the characters are drawn from
those types which are so often found in lit
tie hamlets. The young station master, the
little waif and the old miser furnish three
important characters in the story, while the
town clown and pranky boy contribute the
comedy element. Although the story is a
simple one. it Is supplied with number of
thrilling situations. From a scenic stand
point the production is an elaborate one.
including real rainstorm and, in the last
act, a picturesque snow scene. A feature
that will please the little ones is an army
of children, who, hearing that the band
which had been detailed to meet the town
politician on his return had gone the wrong
way, array themselves in paper caps and
meet him themselves. With this unique es-
cort the politician marches through the
streets to the town hall and there mounts
a tree stump and delivers a speech to his
audience. The main theme is the struggle
of virtue against vice and the ultimate VIC
tory of the former. Among the members of
the company are Harry Brown, character
actor; Garland Gaden, Charles B. Waite,
Eugene Ellsworth, A. Madge Burt, who
plays Sue, the village waif; little Flo Per-
ry, child actress, and many others. Tues
day night the election returns will be read
from the stage between the acts.
