The match was one which reflected no credit on the matchmakers of the club.

ers Is vouched for by William Ballouf, ex-
treasurer Of the Lyceun1 and now manag-
ing Fred. Irwin's Big Show. Mr.. Ballouf
said:
I'm forming the syndicate the owners Of
burlesque houses will assuredly develop a
better class of shows. the patrons will be
benefited and the shrewd scheme prove
successful through additional patronage.
In seasons past a burlesque manager would
secure sensational attraction and depend
upon 1t to fill the houses he visited. 1t Is
not necessary to dwell upon what sort OF
attractions these sensations were. They
generally filled the bill sought after, but
the company that followed the sensation
with good straight or hfgh-class bur-
lesque suffered because the vulgar were
not catered to. Under this new order Of
things the managers of the different road
companies must submit list of all their
specialties to the person who represents
the syndicate, and If he doesn't like the
list 1t has to be strengthened or the show
will not be booked
Heretofore some half dozen companies
nave been monopolizing certain big holiday
dates in the larger cities. but under the
new order every show will take it's turn.
A company now starts out with the assur-
ance that 1t has forty good weeks ahead Of
1t, and the performers therein are Zot wor-
ried over their salaries, as they know the
attraction would not have been booked un-
less 1t had the best of financial backing.
Raw, or vulgar, shows spring up like
mushrooms, and are about as staple. bat

Jas. X. Hackett,

In Don Caesars Return" which he will
present at the National during Christmas
week, James K Hackett has scored the
romantic comedy success Of his career.
Playgoers who remember his magnetic i'm
personation Of Mercutio In Romeo and
Juliet" with Maude Adams and William
Faversham a few seasons ago. can easily
imagine Mr.. Hackett as the dashing dare
devil, Don Caesar de Bazan. who laughs
and makes love in the very shadow Of the
gallows, and eventually wins his sweetheart
In spite Of king and courtiers. The charac-
ter Is one celebrated in the annals of the
drama from having enlisted the talents Of
long line Of romantic actors since Fred
eric Lemaitre. and Mr.. Hackett has been
declared by no less an authority than Will
liam Winter to be "the best Don Caesar
since Salvini" Mr.. Hacketts engagement
here Is for one week only, with Christmas

Is a unaninity Of opinion among
the critics Of the country about the ex-

things for the engagement at the National

vorite diva Is at the height Of her powers
and has captured all the eastern cities with
her wonderful execution of the forid music
on her program. Her rendition Of the LAX
me Bell Song" the "Chanson du Mysoli'
from the Pearl Of Brazil, and her marvellous
bird song, La Fee aux Chausons," have
astonished and delighted immense audiences
everywhere she has appeared. Madame Ne
vadas company has been almost as much
of factor In making success of her
tour as her own abilities and fame. Pablo
Casals, the violoncellist, is one Of the most
popular concert stars in Europe. and has
also the prestige of being the. court vfoIon-
cellist OF the Queen of Spain. Moreau Is
equally popular In France as a concert
pianist and as composer. His orchestral

Of numerous pieces for the plano, one of

Miss Percy Haswell. supported by her
own company, will present Henry Arthur
Jones brilliant society comedy, 'rrhe Liars"
at Chase's Theater all next week, with
daily matinees. The coming Of this lady
under stellar auspices is a theatrical event
or interest to Washingtonians who have
approved the clever work of Miss Haswell
In the past. All her admirers Of last sea-
son will doubtless be on hand to give her
reception. Since September Miss Haswell
has been stock company star at the head
OF her own organization at Chase's The
ater, Baltimore, and Manager Chase brings
her and her company to Washington next
week with the double object Of having
strong attraction for his Washington the

For Miss HaswelTs Washington appear
ances her most successful offering of the
baltimore season has been chosen, 1.-THE
LIARS brilliant comedy, well remember
ed by most theater-goers, but never before
presented in washington at popular prices.
The story concerns an adventure at a coun-
try inn Of a certain Lady Jessica, a frivol
GUS. light-hearted yet lovable woman, and
the Efforts of her society friends to cover
up her innocent indiscretion. The liars in
the play are the society folk, and there Is
rich vein Of satire throughout the play.
At the end of the third act the comedy at
tains strong dramatic pitch which is al
most thrilling, yet in all the other scenes
the play is of the purest and most refresh
ing comedy atmosphere. Miss Haswell Will
have the role of Lady Jessica, a part
ideally suited to her attractive personality
and light, ingenious methods. In her COM
pany will be found many capable players.

In England. the home Of oratorio, he made
his frst appearance in America after an

nature Of his selections, which were unsat-

uniting him for performance on that date,
the New York critics united In condemning
his work. Indeed. so strong was this con-
demnation that the Choral Society made
immediate investigation, with a view to
deciding whether they would be able to
use him. Sufficient time elapsed. however.
for him to appear both In Boston and in
