teacher Jacob Grun. Miss Heinrichs has a
pleasing personality, a musicianly tempera-
ment and her professional success Is pre-
dicted by her friends.
The Ladies' Sitting Quartet, directed by
Mr.. Ernest Lent, concluded an excellent
series of concerts last Wednesday even
ing. The Improvement in the individual

Columbia Theater.

Monday evening Harry Corson Clarke will
begin his second week at the Columbia
Theater, where he will be seen for the first
time in Washington in His Absent Boy"
a light comedy by Sydney Rosenfeld. The
character of Pennie, which Mr.. Clarke as
sumes in next weeks bill, affords him an
opportunity to appear in one of the old
men character parts which have gained
for him prominence all over the country.
This week he plays the alert, youthful
drummer in a manner which has captivated
his audiences. Next week he plays the
more elderly Mr.. Pennie in style which
his audiences have found no less convincing
and artistic. The play abounds in the fun
niest possible situations. furnished by the
heroic efforts of Pennie to evade the rigid
economical system which his strong minded
wife imposes on the entire household, in
Guiding the private purse of her husband.
Pennie, finding the lions skin too short to
avail in his struggle with Mrs. Pennie, like
the old Greek LySander, is obliged to piece
it out with the foxs. Unable to eXtOrt
money from his wife for his own expenses,
Pennie persuadeS her to allow him an extra
hundred dollars per month for the support
of a child which he tells her is his by a
former marriage. The provident Mrs. Pen
ME, believing in his made-up story of her
husbands past life, magnanimously adds
the desired amount to Pennies monthly
stipend. Pennies utter CONSERVATION when
his wife demands to see the boy and the
domestic whrlwind occasioned by the series
Of mutual misunderstanding afford an in
eXhauStible fund for humorous situations.

breezy local color of Tennessee life and
permeated with the soft southern atmos-
phere of it's valleys describes "a Romance
of Coon Hollow" which has been one of

istic steamboat race between the r. E.
Lee and the Natchez. also a cotton COM
press in actual operation. The electrical
effects. showing a night in a southern
country place, are novel and pretty. A
group of male and female plantation darkey
dancers and an excellent vocal quartet add
volume to the entertainment. The cast is
strengthened this season by the popular
soubrette lola Pomeroy, who has been spe-
cially engaged. The comedy is given the

Britain's Patriotic Pride.
From the Paris Figaro.

Public opinion In England will hardly be
satisfied by the assurance that Lord Me-

more are responsible for a disaster to the
British arms One can quite understand
the feeling Of patriotic pride which impels
the British government and people to con-

government was doing a service to England
as well as to the Beers by taking the init
