ly, cannot be distinguished by the average
listener from a vocal humming of the
air.
You have seen people applaud a from
bone soloist only because they thought it
funny to see him work the slide in and
out. Why, if the performer should hap
pen to strike a tone one-sixteenth of an
inch above or below the correct position
he would produce a false tone. which
shows how accurate the performer must
be.

Home till Morning in four octaves, and

done with the tongue and lip. The only
noticeable effect of trombone playing on
my lips is a small calloused place on the
lower one but l can feel that all the
muscles of my lips have developed great
strength from trombone playing"
Pryor was one of the first musicians
engaged by John Philip Sousa when he
began the formation of his present Or
ganization ten years ago, and has since
risen to the position of chief soloist as

" Jane" at the Lafayette.

Jane, = the hilarious comedy which had
a successful run in London at the time of
CT its first production. and which after
Jchnstone bennett is to be the Offering
of the Bellows stock company this week.
Jane" has not been seen in Washington
for a number OF years. and, therefore,
comes somewhat in the nature of a nov
city.
The story of Jane" is simple but hu-
morous. young man burdened with
debts, writes to his guardian that he is
married in the hope that the latter will
see fit to settle all accounts against his
ward. But the sudden arrival of the
guardian makes it necessary that a wife
and child shall be forthcoming, and the
procuring of these difficult properties and
the complications that arise from the diff
ferent situations form the basis Of the fun
of the play.
The parts in the comedy are all good
AS the incorporating wife Miss Lawrence
will have a part that is almost low COM
edy, and she has already given proof of
her ability to take care of such role Mr..
Whittlesey will be the badgered young
man who is so careless as to what he
commits to paper, while Mr.. Wyngate
will have character comedy role. The
small cast does not aecessitate the ap-
pearance OF the full siren 9Th of the com
pany, so John T. Sullivan and Katherine
Clinton will rest during the weeks per

Mrs. Patrick Campbell What She Has Done.

Mrs. Patrick Campbell leaped into pop
ularity and prominence with a sudden
ness as astonishing as it was unusual.
In June. 1890. she was an amateur, play
ing Marie de Fontanges in plot and Pas
sion" and known by few beyond the circle
of her limited acquaintance. In June,
1888, she was chosen from among the
leading English actresses to fill the post
of honor in MIR. Alexander's notable st.
James company, and, higher distinction
still. TO play the tragic heroine in THE
Second Mrs. Tanqueray."
This. however, was not Mrs. Campbell's
first appearance in a Pinero play. In No
vember, 1892, she appeared as MilliceDt
Boycott in The Money Spinner" Before
this she had scored a flattering success as
Alma Blake in 1.-The Silver Shield to
which slap-dash person, however. her sub
dued and gentle style hardly permitted
her to give suitable expression.
At a matinee OF las You Like II" Mrs.
Campbell received great encouragement
from the London critics as body, and
lavish praise from Clement Scott, whose
ardent eulogy perhaps induced Mr.. Blu
chanan and Mr.. Sims to offer the actress
the leading part, Astraea, in THE Trump
ct Call" Her success was immediate and
emphatic Her style was acclaimed as
the Intellectual, and a roseate future was
foreshadowed for one who could In an
evening wean the Adelphites to semisym

Louder praise and predictions Of yet
more brilliant future rewarded her pa

vince patrons of vaudeville that it is
one Of the best bills of the season.
George C. Boniface. jr., and Bertha
Waltzinger will present a little sketch.
The Woman Who Hesitates Is Won
Mr.. Boniface, 1t is said, has rare oppor-
tunities for the display of his comic abil-
ity and Miss Waltzinger has interpolated
several new songs that show all the pos
sibilities OF her voice.
Katherine Bloodgood comes from the
higher sphere of grand opera and ora
torio and is recognized as one of the
leading oratorio contraltos of America.
Her first great success was with the
Boston Festival Orchestra, when she ap
peared jointly with Calve and Nordica and
divided the honors with these distin
guished artists.
The great Kaufman troupe is made up
OF six bicyclists, three men and three
women, and present what is said to be
the finest act of its kind ever seen on
this side of the Atlantic. 1t is claimed
that there have been countless numbers
of bicyclists, but no troupe that can COM
pete with these extraordinary artists.
Fred Niblo, with as keen wit as ever
came into vaudeville. has earned the title
of "The American Humorist." and If any
one can succeed Ezra Kendall in provok-
ing an audience to uproarious mirth it
is he. Carelus Emilio Christani is a
young fair haired Dane with his soul in
his violin and the producer of as ex
quisite melody as Kubehk, whose methods
are much like his owu-sso says the Chase

present specially modelled upon the
lines made familiar ythe Russell broth

THE Adventures OF Bridget MCGUIRE
Galetti's monkey comedians are said to
be the cleverest of their kind. and have
been taught an unusual number of tricks
that would seem to require intelligence
almost human. The Merry Mannikins

L. Deaves and they furnish a vast amount
of amusement, particularly to the little
folks.

ing star under Charles Frohman's man
agement, Miss Russell has never had a
character that has so perfectly fitted her
personality and methods as does Winifred
Stanton in Clyde Fitch's piece, which tells
a story of Love at first sight"
1.-THE Girl accompanies her parents to
the Office OF Judge Chartris, young West
ern probate judge. The parents seek a
separation, all the reasons for which are
not then disclosed. While Winifred in
turn espouses the cause of each, the judge
loses his heart to her, and II is plainly
to be seen that the attraction is mutual.
A declaration on his part is promptly fol,
lowed by a similar heart disclosure from
the girl, but she bids the Judge not to be
TOO hasty. The trouble is that her father
has weakness for the social glass. and
her mother is victim of kleptomania.
With these family stains she does not
wish to smirch the fair reputation of the
judge, who is at the beginning of his jl-
dcial career. The jurist consents to wal:

Arthur Pryor. the trombone scloist OF
the Sousa Band. has been conceded to be
the most remarkable band performer in
the world. He extracts twenty-four dis
tinct notes from his instrument by the
manipulation OF tongue and lip without
resorting to slide mechanism. The slide
gives seven positions. and by taking ad-
vantage of them he can get sixty distinct
notes. Composers don't write music diff
ficult enough for this performer. who was
called 1.-The Paganini of the slide from
bond in Belgium.
Mr. Pryor has written some thirty solos
for his instrument himself and in one he
has a cadenza of forty-five different notes,
which it is said no other trombone player
in the world can negotiate successfully.
Pryor, who is but thirty-one years of
age, is a native of st. Joseph, Mo-, and
has been playing brass instruments since
his fourth year. His father is a we'll
known musician throughout the West, and
for many years made concert tours with
a unique band composed entirely of the
members OF his family, the boy Arthur
being the youngest. Mr.. Pryor. ST., still
conducts a band bearing his name at st.
Joseph.
THE rare qualities of the trombone are
hardly appreciated" says Mr. Pryor. 1T

Mrs. Campbe1's Repertoire.

Mrs. Patrick Campbell will dawn upon
the public of Washington tomorrow night
at the Columbia.
Laden with that sincere and grateful,
though not always iudicious. praise which
London invariably bestows upon its IA
yorites, and handicapped to some extent
by this burden of adulation, she will ap-
peal to a jury composed Of those not
born under the shadow OF Westminster.
Flashing into view ten years ago, a
promising dramatic meteor and flaming
ftfully after the fashion OF meteors. Mrs.
Campbell has, up TO this, her first hmeri-
can tour, played nowhere beyond the
dull, sullen roar OF London, leaving to
other artists the duty of conquering the
outside world, and planting the dramatic
banner of England on alien territory.
The enthusiasm of the new discovery of
Mrs. Pat" as she is called, led her en-
raptured admirers TO recall Adelaide
Nelson and Mary Anderson, whose united
graces she was said to have inherited.
and the inevitable finally happened in the
assurance that the uncanny fire burning
in the heart of Madame Duse was also
aglow In the intellectual sanctuary of
Mrs. Patrick Campbell.
II Is for these reasons In their varied
significance that Washington is on tip
toe with expectancy awaiting Mrs.
Campbell's entrance as "Magda" tomor-
row night. She brings here a company
composed entirely of English actors and
actresses. Her leading men are George
S. Titheradge and Herbert waring, both
acknowledged to be actors of ability.
The repertoire for the engagement Is:
Monday evening and Wednesday matinee.

THE White Rose" still longer stride
being taken with Tress Purvis in THE
Lights of Home" and the extreme value
of her severely restrained style becoming
once more apparent in Clarice Berton in
THE Black Domino" which part Mrs.
Campbell resigned in order to test her
capacity for the higher drama in The
Second Mrs. Tanqueray." After the Pinero
May Mrs. Campbell appeared with much
success in The Notorious Mrs. Ebb-
smith,
1t is also recalled that she triumphed
in novel, perhaps unclassical fashion,
as Juliet" and so followed, passing
distinction in characters drawn by BjOrn-
son, Ibsen, Sudermann, Maeterlinck, and
other great authors.
So well has this fascinating woman
followed up her original advantage that
not long ago the public commenced to
hear the story that a new Elizabeth Barry,
capable of sweeping the entire gamut of
human feelings had been evolved amid
the turmoil and grimy realities OF the
modern Babylon; that a greater actress
than Dora Jordan and the equal of Mrs.
Siddons had arisen to reincarnate the
genius of a moving and tragic drama.
Mrs. Campbells mother was a Roman,
and she looks more like an Italian than
an EnglSh woman. Her name is Beatrice
Stella. and the inquistive may like to
know that she has two children-Stella

Moore plots the marriage in order to

by the adventures, because she wants
to win for herself Tom Samson. wealthy
young farmer. who has offered his love to
Marion. Half-witted Andy manages to foil
their first scheme enough to allow of the
stolen marriage of Tom Samson and Ma

time triumphant, and the girl is
obliged to flee with shadow on her
name, leaving an infant daughter behind.
Tom is decoyed to the city and the girl
herself is hunted to an asylum, but on

sudden shock, regains his mind and tells

be cleared and impeaches those who need
