The "Dainty Duchess Burlesquers" at
Kernau's

There are no dukes or duchesses in dis
guise in Weber's Dainty Duchess Com
pany,' which opened at Kernan's yester-
day, but there are a number of very
clever comedians and a lot of attractive
girls who combine to present a good all
around show in which there is plenty of
action. good music and dancing.
A feature of the show and an additional
attraction is the wrestling which will
follow each of the two daily shows this
week. Max Lutberg, weli-known
wrestler of about 40 pounds, stands
ready to meet all comers. and offers SIS
to anyone who will stay the fifteen minute
limit in catch s-catch-can style of
wrestling, strangle hold barred Yester-
day afternoon he had Alexander German,
one minute and thirty second on a flying
fall. Last night Sam Johnson went on
and stayed thirteen minutes and thirty
second. when Lutberg threw him on
half Nelson and further arm hold This
afternoon Larry Ruth, and tonight Young
Americus." OF Baltimore, will try for the
money. Joe Grant will try his hand with
Lutberg during the week
The olio is given by Milton and Maud
Woods, Miss Belle Harvey, the Ex-
position Four. Tenley and Smonds, the
-Four Huntings," Allan Wightman, and
James Brady.
The entertainment closes with a mix
ture of nOnsence and music, "A Trip to
Mars" in which the full company ap-
pears.

tations. including those of Edna May,
response to repeated encores adds one of
Jess Dandy that in some respects is the
best work she does, although her italian
recitation, entitled Rosy" gives another
phase of her versatility.
The nonsensical hit of the performance
is made by Hickey & Nelson. The aero
batic antics of the male member called
forth howls Of laughter, and the appa-
rently unconscious manner in which he is
abetted by his associate wins several
cncores for an act based upon really no
material beyond the actual cleverness of
the performers
The Vaudeville Craze" offered by
George Felix and Lydia Barry still does
good service as a laugh provoker. Miss
Barry is heard to advantage in a couple
of songs well suited to her strong con-
tralto voice. Hill and Silvany give SEN
sational and evidently difficult work on
various cycles. ending with flight down
a number of steps. with one of the team
balanced on the head of the other. The
Troubadour Four unfortunately are not
content with adding grotesque make-ups
to their songs and limitations. but force
some comedy on the audience which is al
together painful and unnecessary.
James J. Corbett, the top-liner of the
week. was heartily received by both audi
ences yesterday, and held the interest OF
the gatherings. He was given numerous
encores for the easy style of his recital OF
stories relating more or less to his
former career.

COLUMBIA-"Quo Vadis." a dramatiza-
tion of Henryk Sienkiewiczs novel Of
the same name, by Stanislaus STANCE.
The cast.

"Quo Vadis.' as it was first shown to
Washington thcatregoers more than
year ago. returned to the Columbia Thea
tire last night. and despite the fact that
the local public has seen another version
of the play this season. the audience was
of good size. The present version is that
made by Stanislaus STANCE, and is a well
constructed, plausible stage production
of the familiar story of 7Sienkiewicz.
The separate charaeters and historical
incidents involved in the story are SO well
known to the public that their repre-
sentation on the stage is a matter of keen
interest. The adaptation of the play made
by STANCE is the better of the two which
have been given to local theatregoers. 1t
eliminates all of the unwholesome bits of
the story and presents a wonderfully real
istic contrast of character showing the
beautiful faith of the early Christians
and their absolute adherence to its teach
ings, despite the terrible prosecutions to
which they were subjected. In direct con-
tradistinction the wickedness and loath-
some depravity of Sero,s court are pre-
sented in a glaring, light. In point of
scenic environment. costumes and me-
chanical display the production is prac
tically the same as that originally shown
here. the burning OF Rome being espe-
cially effective and picturesque.
The Interpreting company is entirely
new. Individual successes are attained
by Thomas NJ. Hunter as Nero and Adolph
Jackson as Petronius. Charles Suttons
Vinicius lacks repose and is inclined to
overact. Fred E. Beane offers a fine
character study as the Greek. Chilo Chill
onides. and Master Jack Ryan plays the
part of Little Aulus very cleverly. J.
Montgomery Irving an actor with a fine
physique, plays Ursus. the giant, very ac-
ceptably.
or the feminine contingent Mary Emer-
sons work as Lygia is noteworthy. She
has a xeli-modulated voice, is pleasing to
the eye and plays the role with more sin
cerity and intelligence than anyone who
has been seen locally in the part. Carline
Rohr, an actress with Leslie Carter hair
and famed as beauty, interprets the role
of POpDaca very satisfactorily.

of laughs all the time. There is nothing
of the amateur about his performance and
very few professional entertainers could
have given such a good performance
W. o. Miller, r. C. Bortle and Albert
Morton are a trio of unusual American
tourists. MIR. Miller shows a tendency to
break forth into song every once in
while, but he does his vocal duties so
satisfactorily that the audience really

tion as the Chauncey Olcott of the L. of

penses. Everything is built as elaborately
as if the material was to he used through

King Cole gave last nights audience
at the Lafayette three hours of genuine
enjoyment: that it was highly appreciated
was manifested by the generous amount
of applause that rewarded the young men.

Madge Fox Scores Success of Empir
Programme.

One of the best vaudeville shows Of the
season is presented at the Empire Theatre
this week. The management has appar-
emily striven to get together some Of the
most entertaining acts now appearing on
the vaudeville circuit. and every one Of
the FIVE Numbers that precede the buricsque
by the stock company is an exceptionally
good act.
The burlesque, too, is a novelty, and con-
sists of two-edition minstrel perform
ance in which both the feminine members
portunity to display their abilities as fun
producers. Several Popular songs are rem
dered by the various members of the COM
pany, and this PORTION Of the performance
is thoroughly enjoyed by the Empire eli
entele.
Heading the vaudeville oiio are Garfield
and Carlton in a laughable sketch called
THE Hoodoo." in which both appear in a
round OF fun and song. Fun in a Rail-
way Station" is the title of a very ordinary
musical act provided by Howe, Wallen
and Walters. Burke's musical dogs dis
played remarkable animal sagacity in per-
forming Upon different musical instru-
ments. and they made a great hit.
Madge Fox. who is billed as an eccen-
trio coon singer, makes the real hit of the
show. Miss Fox probably has no superior
in her line of work. and not even May
Irwin can give a better rendering of popu-
lar coon songs. She combines an amusing
negro dialect with an acrobatic agility
that makes her act one of the best ever
presented on the vaudeville stage. She
was obliged to respond time and again to
encores yesterday, and still the audiences
were not satisfied.
Fisher and Clark are comedy acrobats
whose feats are accompanied by real com
edy.

THE LAFAYETTE-"Ol King Cole"
burlesque in two acts, given by the
Mask and Wig Club of the University
of Pennsylvania The cast:

Pandora. Warren f. Martin
Washington had a sample Of the style
of entertainment provided by the Mask
and Wig Club OF the University of Penn
sylvania. at the Lafayette Square Theatre
last night. when king Cole" was given
by lot OF frolcsome young fellows away
from the campus and classroom for the
Easter holiday.
The audience, which was one of the
largest and most brilliant OF the season,
quickly decided, after the curtain was
lifted for the first time that it liked
King Cole" and that the Wiggers were
very clever lot of young men on the
stage. no matter what reputation they
might enjoy with the faculty.
The spring season in Philadelphia would
not be considered complete without a
performance by the Mask and Wig or
ganization, and 1t is said that of all the
productions OF recent years King Cole"
is the most pretentious and mertorious
There is a plot that bobs up every once
in a while but it encounters one OF the
jokes of the pieces-and some of these
are very much Philadelphia-and modestIy
retireS. This plot has to do with an
audacious newspaper reporter who pushes
himself into the good graces of the re-
gent upon promising to procure son-in-
law for the kings onlv daughter. The
first act Is laid in the Cole regions and
the second transpires near Poughkeepsie
on the evening before an intercollegiate
boat race. Both scenes are we'll pictured
and the stage management is one of the
very best things in connection with the
performance.
During the evening any number of spe-
cialties are introduced. Some are exceed
ingly clever. The lyrics that have been
fitted to a dozen or SO of the most popu-
lar songs OF the late musical comedies
are very good and are well rendered. One
of the most enjoyable bits of the perform
ance is a travesty on Sothern's ''If | We're
King" given by Cecil b. Calvert. Il. C.
Bortle. Sylvester j. Deahan, and Craig
Mitchell.

Rev. Dr. Mcconnell. formerly OF
Philadelphia, ana now Of Brooklyn.
has had a sad experience with feath-
cred pets. One Of his wealthy par
ishiOners is an old lady. She recently
bought a parrot for comSanx. But to
her horror almost the first phrase il
uttered was: Il wish the old woman
was dead"
When Dr. Mcconnell called she told
him about her new purchase.
Why, doctor" she said. 1T keeps
saying an day long: I wish the old
woman was dead What shall / dO?''
Il have it," replied the doctor. Il
have parrot myself and he only
knows religious phrases. Let me send
him around and keep him with yours
awhile. Yours viii learn his phrases
and then all viii go beautiful"
The idea struck the spinster favor
ably and Dr. McConnells parrot was
sent round. That very day the two
were put together and the old lady set
tied down in her rocker with a placid
face. Suddenly her parrot cried out:
