GOOD PERFORMANCE OF
THE WIZARD OF THE NILE
Frank Daniels Old Opera Presented to
Large Audiences at Chase's
Theater.

Another of the popular comic operas OF
few seasons ago was presented by the
stock company at Chase's Theater yes
terday afternoon and evening, and at
tracted good-sized audiences at both
performances. This week 1t is Frank
Daniels old opera. THE Wizard Of the
Nile in which the pudgy comedian ap-
peared for a season or more.
The opera, as is we'll known, is the
product of the prolific Harry B. Smith
and Victor Herbert. 1t Is probably one
OF the best operas these two well-known
light opera purveyors ever turned out.
The story is funny enough to cause
laughter, and the music is sufficiently
good to be entertaining.
As produced by the Chase company
1.-THE Wizard of the Nile" is an enter
tanning piece OF summer amusement, and
1t was thoroughly enjoyed by the audi
ences, which were generous In their ap-
plause.
Indeed. the opera is probably better
adapted to the abilities of the Chase
company than any it has yet attempted.
All OF the members appear in congenial
roles. and the opera goes with smooth
ness that is really surprising consider
ing the length of time they have had to
prepare.
Fred Frear and Norma Kopp are par
ticularly well cast. Mr.. Frear assumes
the character taken by Frank Daniels
in the original production OF the opera,
and although his Interpretation Of the
part is palpably an imitation OF that
OF the jolly comedian, he does remark
ably well and gets any number Of laughs.
Mr.. Frear has no voice to speak Of. but
that Is not to be expected Of a comic
opera comedian. Otherwise he fits the
part we'll. and resembles Daniels both
In face and figure. His makeup is very
like that of Daniels and one might i'm
agine he was witnessing the fat little
comedian himself
Norma Kopp assumes the role of
Abydos, and when she appeared on
the stage for the first time she was
greeted with round Of applause. Miss
Kopp has become very popular with
Chase audiences, and seems to deserve
il. She is Il natural comic opera come
dienne, ard combines fairly good voice
with It. Her rendering Of the role was
all that could be desired.
Grafton Baker, who appeared last
week with the company. is cast for the
tenor role, and sings in his usually good
style. bat he does not evidence any
more ability to act than he always has. |
His voice is pleasing and the several !
songs he had were well rendered.
The other members of the company |
fll their roles acceptably, and the cho-
rus seems to be better trained than |
usual The opera is we'll costumed. and
is, altogether, as good as any that has |
been presented so far.

20 Per Cent Reduction Summer Suitings

The Washington times., 1902-06-24

There was nothing undecided about
the sort of success the Edwin Arden
company made last night at the Column
bia Theater when a summer season OF
stock performances was inaugurated.
TIE audience was uncommonly large,
and while its friendliness to the chief
player was shown by the prolonged ap-
plause that greeted his initial appear
ance. still the work of the company was
so good that later on in the evening the
applause did not come from this same
friendly spirit, but was an acknowledg-
ment of the good work of the several
players.
Washington has had a number of
stock organizations In years past,
regular and summer ones. The one that
is at present occupying the Columbia
stage promises to excel all Of its prede-
cessors. Mr.. Arden is a very popular
actor and his supporting company is
strong in every respect. The list Of
plays that have been selected for the
local season includes some pieces that
will tend to display the merits of the
star as well as the other people of the
company. and with the excellent start
of last night it requires no prophet to
predict much success for the Columbia
venture.
Mr. Arden could not have selected a
better play with which to commence his
Washington engagement. Its merits
were amply demonstrated when 1t made
E. H. Sotherns fame a decade or so
ago. 1t has since been used with un-
varying success by stock companies, and
while 1t is essentially one-part play,
1t has enough OF good bits to provide a
frst-class entertainment
Chumley the Whole Thing.
OF course, Chumley is the whole thing
in this David Belasco-H. C. De Mile
piece, and last nights audience found
no complaint with this, for they had
come to the playhouse to see Mr.. Arden
and could not easily object to being
treated to allopathic doses of him and
his art, for from the very first his
was mighty interesting
characterization, full OF suppression,
with plentiful supply of good humor
and with q dash OF heroics every once in
C. while that made the part very inter
esting.
The audience liked Mr.. Arden so well
that at the end OF the first act he was
compelled to come before the curtain
fully dozen times, and at the con-
ciusion OF the second act the curtain
had to be lifted as many. If not more,
times before the gathering was satisfied. |
So in the matter of applause and en-
cores it can be said in all truth that
Mr.. Arden and his associates eclipse6 !

A Dozen Different Ways.

When the ordinary citizen intends t.
70 east, or send for friends or relatives to
come west, the choice Of routes is q ques-
ton that always bothers him. He wants
to know il the same route he used once,
some time ago, makes the saine time,
same connections, If the price is the same,
il il costs the same to 70 east ~ it did to
come west. Possibly, he has heard or
read OF famous points Of interest in the
west or middle west that he overlooked
on the trip he made. Did not see them
because he had not time did not know
he could for the same money; did not
know he could get stopover. There are
hundreds of questions he would have
asked, many things he would like to have
seen and many accommodations he could
have enjoyed, only, he did not have time
to look into the subject, and it was too
much bother anyway.
Here is suggestion that will save you
all that tr ,uble, vexation and regret. The
Illinois Central Railroad Company runs
east and south from st. Paul, Omaha
and st. Louis, and north from New
Orleans. At these points, it connects
with ALL the western trunk lines, and
through then, with all THEIR western
connections. The Illinois Central does
not care which line you use IN the west,
northwest, central west or southwest,
because it connects with all OF them, and
is absolutely impartial to all. All you
have to do is to drop US note tell us
your destination and starting point Is
there an thing in the whole glorious west
that you want to see on the way? Men.
ton it. We will arrange for it if it can
be done. Perhaps you will want stop
over. We will arrange that too If it is
possible for anyone to do it. Just make
a suggestion as to the western line and
we will elaborate it for you; tell YOU tn
time you should start, when you should
arrive at destination, what accommoda.
tons you will enjoy, what it will cost
you, an itinerary for the trip, and will do
anything that we possibly can to make
your journey pleasant ana comfortable.
That's what we are here for. We have
headquarters in Portland; Agents in
Portland and Seattle, and Travelling
Agents that will come and talk it over
with you any time and at any place in
the northwest without its costing you a
cent more than 3 postage stamp. Chi.
cago business is a specially with us, but
we have our own rails in dozen different
states east Of St. Paul, Omaha and New
Orleans, and can ticket yon to these
gateways over a dozen different routes.
Write us. BY the way, do you want a
nice wall map Of the United Sta es, Cuba
and Porto Rico? Send me six cents to
pay postage.
