Burton Holmes Lectures.

A novelty is to be Instituted at the next
lecture to be given by Mr.. Burton Holmes
at the Columbia on Tuesday afternoon. At
the suggestion of q number Of his patrons
his managers have decided to announce an
intermission about midway in the lecture.
This intermission Is to serve a double pur-
pose, not only to afford Mr. Holmes voice
a slight respite, but also to enable him to
introduce another novelty by way OF edu-
cation, and certainly from the point OF in
terest and entertainment-for Mr.. Holmes
has decided to deliver his Corean lecture
dressed as a Corean gentleman. When he
first appears upon the stage he will be clad
in the everyday garb of a well-to-do citi-
zen. and during the intermission he will
change to the curious garb worn during
the mourning period. An added feature OF
this costume is q face screen carried In
both hands, and 1t is not considered good
form to appear in the streets except with
the face entirely hidden by this screen for
at least three years after the death OF
father. for two years after the death OF
brother. and so on at arbitrary gradations
for every deceased member of the family.
The lecture itself will be one OF the most
beautifully illustrated Of the entire series
s.Corea" is the last subject in Mr. Holmes
regular season at the Columbia.

Observation-Disclosures

Percy s. Foster announces the preSenld-
ton OF three distinguished artists-Joset
Hofmann. pianist; Jean Gerardy, 'cellist,
and Fritz Kreisler. violinist, at the Column
bia Theater April 1. These artists are
foremost this season in the world Of music.
All three are conceded by the musical au-
thorities Of this country to be masters OF
their respective instruments. and their sue
cess this winter has made the names OF
"Hofnann, Gerardy and Kreisler famlliar
to all concertgoers.
Josef Hofmann has just finished his first
complete tour Of the country. and he has
been greeted by large and enthusiastic
audiences. So
made such demands upon his services that
oftentimes he was heard In two different
rnusicaleS on the same afternoon during
the New York social season preceding
Lent But this in no manner inter1ered
with his public successes His appearances
with the Boston Symphony, the New YORK
Philha rmonic, the Philadelphia, Pittsburg
and Cincinnati Orchestra are evidences or
his public trfumphs.
Fritz Kreisler, the Austrian violinist. is
an artist who plays the violin for the sake
OF the music. He possesses technique
to their feet in astonishment. His con-
ception Of the works OF Bach and Beet
hoyen is broad, solid and musicianly. His
tone Is brilliantly large and mellow. and
one derives a pleasure from his playing
that has not been given by any other
violinist heard here In recent years He
is the true successor Of the great Joachim.
The sale Of seats begins at Sanders &
Stayman's (Smith's Bureau) next Thurs
day.

CoMINC ATTRACTIONS
Columbia Theater.

Jefferson De Angels has been trying for
years to get comic opera Of some orgi-
nality. He thinks the public is getting
little weary of the present stereotyped piece,
with the same old plot. the same old clown
of monarch ruling over a supposititious
land inhabited by chorus girls; the same old
duenna. the same effeminate tenor, tho
same old landlord, the same old Amazonian
march and the same old ensembles at the
end OF every act. He tried two years ago
to have an opera written for him that
would break away from the old beaten
paths, but the author he employed failed
to possess the genius Of originality. and De
Angels get to work to write a libretto him
self. But he soon wearied Of his work. and
then he went to Charles Klein the man
who wrote ''El Captain" and two or three
other good plays. and interested him in this
scheme. Klein said he would try and pro-
duce a book that would be In keeping With
Jens idea. He wrote "A Royal Rogue -

the past five years; during his absence there

Mask and Wig Club.

Several years ago Washington was high
ly diverted by the performance OF some
very clever amateurs from the University
OF Pennsylvania. The Mask and Wig Club
made pronounced success with Its capi-
tai entertainments in this city. and they
have not been forgotten. although for sew
eral years the organization has not visited
here. Under the chaperonage of a number
Of women high in the s, ial life OF this
city the university boys will come to Wash
tngton on Monday evening, April Z. and
will present at the Lafayette Square Opera
House for one performance their new mu-
sical travesty, "Old King Cole" To ac-
conplish this it was necessary for the
Mask and Wig Club to arrange with the
management OF the local theater for
temporary withdrawal of the stock COM
pany and the clearing of the stage. as the
University Of Pennsylvania dramatic or
ganization is as big as any professional
show and carries Its entire scenic equip
ment and all appurtenances.
The Mask and Wiggers have been at this
sort OF thing for fourteen years. and dur
ing that time they have gained the knowl-
edge of experience which entities them to
rank among the best experts of stagecraft.
THESE annual productions, which are given
on scale of lavish splendor. are written,
prepared and staged without any profess
sional assistance whatever. The older
members OF the club are now the instruct
ors Of the younger members. and those who
have long ago graduated from college and
are therefore no longer eligible TO take part
| in the performance are still the leading
spirits in the life Of the organization. Sew
enty-five students. all Of them bona fide
undergraduates of the University OF Penn
sylvania, will take part in the production
OF ''Old King Cole" They will be sur
rounded with the best that skill can devise
and money can buy in the way OF scenery
and costumes. They will have large or
chestra to help them in songs and dances
1t will be the kind of performance which
appeals directly to all lovers Of melody and
merriment.
The ladies' who have interested them
selves In the proposed Mask and Wig PEI
formance are a sufficient guarantee of Its
assured social success All Of them have
taken boxes or seats. Among them are
Mrs. Hay, Mrs. Keene, Mrs. Hale. Mrs.
Elkins. Mrs. Kean. Mrs. Levering, Mrs.
Ashton. Mrs. Hobson. Mrs. Bates. Mrs.
