Homes in the Blue Ridge.

The people of Washington are awaken

virginia, and the coming summer VIII
find thousands Of residents OF the city go
ing to the numeros resorts in the noun
tain region above Leesburg and Blue
mont. Just now Bluemont. the terminus
of the Washington and Bluemont divi-
sion of the Southern Railway, is enjoy
ing a summer residence boom. One large
hotel is under construction and mum
ber of summer residences are being erect
ed on the ridge of the mountains in the
vicinity of Smokers Gap. The home Of
Frank Carpenter, within sight of the gap.
presented a beautiful appearance a week
ago with its three thousand peach trees
in bloom. Following the road along the
ridge there is seen the summer residence
OF Prof. kasper with its solid stone
fences, green lawn OF natural blue grass,
and picturesque walks. Adjoining this are
the homes OF Mrs Somers and Miss
Brouse An imposing stone house is be

Mr. King a well-known Washington at

c,os.,s-po,ite vaudeville.

With the New Grand SURPRISING in
heauty and attractiveness the claims that
have been made for it, with Keith's pro-
duction of living pictures, with the Royal
Hungarian Gypsy Band as a special per-
manent feature, and with a programme
composed of promising comedy features,
il would seem that next week the Grand s
patrons should witness one of the most
agreeable ard prosperous weeks in the
history of polite vaudeville. The array OF
varied attractions exceeds. the most am
bilious effort of the winter season, as the
Keith art studies are said to be the lead
ing novelty of the year. In New York
CITY they enjoyed a run covering three
months. while Boston and Philadelphia
would have doubtless equaled the record
if prior engagements had not made their
removal necessary. Wherever they have
been exhibited the pictures have excited
the widest admiration from the theatre
going public, and counoisselrs in art mat
ters. as VOL as students and artists, have
proclaimed them superior to the Ktliani
pictures, which several seasons ago origl-
mated the vogue for this novelty. Two
carloads of scenery are alleged to be en-
| pIoyed in furnishing the settings for the
pictures, and twenty-eight men and wo-
men are used as the subjects. The prin-

tcrnau,s-"Robin Hood, Jr."

The Robin Hood, Jr., Buriesquers' VIII
appear next week at Kernan's, for the
first time in several seasons, and every
thing in the organization has undergone
co complete a change, except the. tltle'
that the patrons of this house will scarce
Iv realize that they are greeting former
welcome visitor. but may feel assured
that the entertainment will possess all
the merit of freshness. 1t is seldom that
an attraction of this sort is practically
Transformed but this is striking In
stance in which the change has been
thoroughly accomplished.
Though a competitor in the field OF
burIesdue the organization presents an
entertainment built on independent lines,
and it's burlettas. which are said to be
original and refreshing, bear closer re-
semblance to farce-comedy than they do
TO burlesque, although they retain many
familiar but favorite features, and include
a number of attractive ensembles and
scenic and electrical effects CHARACTERISTIC
of spectacular productions. Ruby Leoni
and Mildred Connor divide the honors,
assisted by such well-known artists as
Riley and Hughes, Young and Barnes,
Mcdonald brothers, Barry and Connor,
May Marshall, and Prof. Mais.

The CoIumbia-"The Circus GirI.''


THE Geisha" is delighting large audi
ences at the Columbia this week, but as
the policy is for a weekly change of bill
it will give way next week to an elab-
crate production of The Circus Girl"
another of the musical comedies that
were presented by the late Augustin DAILY
with much success at his New York The
atre.
THE Circus Girl" while not altogether
newcomer to Washington, has only
been presented here once before, and its
welcome should be most royal next week
The excellence of the company and the
care exercised in the production should
more than compensate for the fact that
the musical comedy has survived several
seasons. The cast has been selected with
great care and the scenery and costumes
are by the same people who were en-
trusted with the work on the occasion of
the original production in this country.
In fact, the revival next week will be
even more elaborate than was the original
production.
The Circus Girl was the successor to
The Geisha" at George Edwardes
| Gaiety Theatre, London. 1t also succeed
| ed .'The Geisha" at Dalys Theatre in
New York, and It VIII also s;, IPtlo~ Tben'
| tire in this city; strange coincidence
! that il should come after The Geisha'

assertion point to the trial matinee at
