and grace are substantial proof of her
genius. Unlike majority of her sex,
Nine Yale does not hesitate TO state her
age in round numbers, and notwithstand-

fftieth birthday, her face still retains all
the freshness of childhood, and her hgure
possesses the graceful contour OF early
youth
That the ladies of this city are enabled

1xerron,s-..The Social Maids.v

Hurtig q Seamon's Social Maids -
were greeted on their return to KerHan's 3
Yesterday afternoon and evening by
audiences as large as are usual at this
stage of the season, and presented an
entertainment which was made pleasing
as much by the repetition of former
features as by the presentation of new
ones of equal merit. A tone Of cleGnli-
ness and an air of neatness peryade the
entertainment which, besides being
handsomely mounted, includes talented
and tastefully costumed chorus and Il
multiplicity Of fresh musical numbers and
novel dances.
'.The Water Nymph," the first part, had
been seen before, but it seemed TO retain
ali its attractiveness, and was enhanced
by the addition of new incidents and
scenes, in which Rita Cough and May
Whitmore divided the honors. The ollo
proved one OF the best that has been pre-
scented here this season and included acts
which evoked repeated applause, though
the favorites appeared to be the Ferrel-
Taylor trio, one of whom is colored
performer, who presented funny mus
ical act and George Il. Beban, whose
monOIogue, with his droil mimicry, was
n pleasing number. Lillian Durham sang
and looked well, and the Howard Sisters
contorted in series of terPsichorean di-
versions in which the skill of the dan
seuse was combined with that of the ac-
robat One of the prettiest acts and a
novel feature was the speciality of petite
Jeanette LaReau. who concludes her
turn with a fitting climax in the shape
OF an attractive ensemble in which she is

girls Wrothe and Wakefield appeared in
a comedy creation III which they Sus-
tanned their regulations, while Clifford
Gordon portrayed the eccentricities OF
German character with no little clever
ness. The Gay Modiste," the burlesque,
with its Partisan scenes and lively carl
cature of the French dressmaker's estab-
lishment, bore repetition weil. and was
presented with several new people in the

AT THE THEATRES.
The CoIumbia-.Thc Geishn., ,,

The tuneful "Sesha" and an excellent
presenting company made a powerful
combination last night at the Columbia
Theatre, where a large audience applaud
ed most literally the work of the various
members of the organization that is Civ
ing revivals of some of the best of latter
day musical comedies with so great sue
cess. The selection of the story of the
Japanese tea house was happy one, for
the music of Sidney Jones has not been
often heard In Washington, and retains
its charm and flueucy to a remarkable eX-
tent. No musical piece of recent produc-
tion has presented such delightful num-
bors as The Jewel of Asia, " THE Song
of the Amorous Goldfish The Interfer-
ing Parrot" and The Monkey on a
Stick" neither has any previous Gel
sha' company been more competent to
present the book of owen Hall and the
lyrics of Harry Greenbsnk. If local thea
tregoers but realize it. they are at present
being offered the best musical comedies
obtainable. put on very elaborately, and
given with splendid casts, and all for
81 for the choicest orchestra chairs. 1t is
an uncommonly fine theatrical bargain
that the promoters of the season of mu-
steal comedy at the Columbia are furnish
ing, and one that will doubtless never
again be repeated.
The cast that was last night seen in
The Gcisha' contained many new faces
in fact the only principals that held over
from last week were Paula Edwardes
and John Park. Miss Edwardes appeared
as Molly SeamOre, the role originated by
Lefty Lind. and If the English woman
made much more of a success than did
Miss Edwardes she must have scored a
tremendous hit and been literally over
loaded with honors. Mr.. Park was a
manly Reginald Fairfax, and sung his
solos admirably. Elgie Bowen, remem-
bered locally for her singing of the song
to the moon in San Toy" was the o
Mimosa San. and displayed a very ex-
cellent dramatic ability, in addition to a
voice of considerable strength and much
| richness, which she used with intelligent
| effect. She made Il decided success, and
was one of the most delightful surprises
! of the performance. Grace Belmont was
a volatile and fetching Juliette Diamant,
the French girl. and won large share
/ of the plaudits of the evening. Henry
| Normans excellent baSso was heard in
the role of the Marquis Imari.. while he
revealed vein of comedy that was very
amusing. One of the clevereSt bits OF
comedy work was that of Joseph Con-
| yers as the Chinaman Wun-Hi. The
Conyers dialect was decidedly chop-suey-
! ish, and he was uncommonly successful
in the Interpretation of the Celestial
! character. The other members of the
company were uniformly excellent in their
| respective parts.
The Geisha' is produced with the ad-
| vantage of the original scenic, investiture
/ while the costumes are reproductions of
( the originals The presentation is in every
{ respect worthy of crowded audiences and
/ especially so when it is remembered that
a special scale of popular prices prevails
/ at the Columbia during the season of
musical comedy. There will be matinees
Thursday and Saturday.
