The Bijou Little Egypt BurIes-
uuers.o

A second visit this season to the Bijou of
Little Egypt and her burlesque company
resulted yesterday in drawing two large
audiences to this theatre. The general work
of the company is fully up 10 the usual
standard, while a couple of the acts seen
in the olio are uncommonly good. notably
the Sheik Hadji Tartar Arabs. troupe
of acrobats whose equal is seldom seen.
Their work Is so far out of the ordinary
that the audiences we're so persistently
demonstrative in their approval that the
Arabs were worked nearly double time.
Other commendable features OF the bill
are Mae Taylor, singer OF songs that
might be of a later vintage; the Sisters
De Graft. two viyacious young women who
wear stunning clothes and sing, accept
ably: AL. C. Lawrence. in limitations COW

attendance was a testimonial to pluck
and ability triumphing over difficulties.
Nor has the ability been better shown
than in the present effort of the budding
star, for Lulu CHASER scored a great big
hit last evening before her first Washing
ton audience and her personal success was
duplicated by that of the opera chosen
as her initial steiler vehicle. Sweet Anne
Page" is what might be termed his
torical opera, in that its story has to do
with the accession of William OF Orange.
Sweet Anne Page is a rustic belle in the
first act. and a hoydenish mink at that.
AS might be judged, Sweet Anne Page"
is Lulu Chaser. This is the first time the
little lady has had real opportunity to
show her merit as comedienne and yo-
calist. Few women possess an original
idea of humor and Miss CHASER is one OF
the select number. Whether as the hoy
den. the clown, the Spanish dancing girl,
or the simple little maid" she is invari-
ably original and always charming. She
dances gracefully and well. the vocal score
fits her voice as II made for it, as 1t was.
and the various incidents are treated with
a rare perception of humor of suggestion.
The first act Of the opera gives Miss Glas-
er very little to do, aside from he- on
trance song, with her donkey cart. The
second allows her to sing dainty Span
ish song. as well as that of the Simple
Little Maid" while the third and last fur
nishes her with two clever numbers. All
of these opportunities are well embraced
and the audience last evening accorded
the new star encore after encore. A ner-
vous little speech. after the second act,
expressed her gratitude.
Nor has Miss CHASER been permitted to
suffer from want of a capable supporting
company. Alexander Clark possesses a
peculiar personality, perfectly fitting the
required Characterization. AS the leader
OF the Royal Mummers," he is excellent
and no small share of-the credit OF the
success of the opera is his. Fred Frear
gives an intelligent character study, one
of the few seen in opera, and sings the
little song, THE Star of the Regiment,
with a good voice and effect. Josie In
tropidi makes the most of her bit, While
Arthur Donaldson sings quite well. indeed.
Harold Blake is one of the best tenors
heard recently in comic opera. and Gil
bert Clayton plays two parts SO excel
lently that one can hardly detect the
doubling. Gretta Risley is included
among the uncommonIy good ones.
AS previously mentioned, no pains have
been omitted in staging the new opera.
The costumes are elaborate, and the
scenery well painted and appropriate.
There is much to please throughout. and
little to criticise. No one will regret that
Miss Chaser has determined to star and
no one will fail to regret, if he fails to
see her in Sweet Anne Page" There viii

The Lnfnyette-"Frou Frou."

'Frou Frou.' Augustin Days powerful
comedy, is rather a heavy offering at all
times. and its selection as the current
weeks bill by the Lafayette Stock Com
pany proves not only the capability of the
players at the Lafayette. but comes as
somewhat OF a novelty in that for the
first time in Washington the play is pre-
scented by stock organization. The piece
is a delightful blending of comedy and
pathos. Both are skillfully treated. and
neither pals. for when such n crisis seems
imminent the one is quickly withdrawn
in favor of the other, the result being a
plete with human interest and exceedingly
entertaining. Despite the comedy the
story is pathetic. 1t tells of the transit
tion of Gilberte-called Frou Frou because
she is "a noisy. bustling, busy little fairy.
