Season of French Opera.

While it is not definitely decided, it is
more than likely that the French opera
company of New Orleans Will present
William Tell as the opening bill of the
engagement at the Lafayette for three
nights, with a Saturday matinee, com
mencing Thursday, March ID. The other
operas to be given are La Juive," Clio
conda,' and La BOheme."
In his contract Mr.. Berger, of the La
fayette, stipulated that all of the prnci-
pals, including the tenor, NJ. Due, should
appear during the local engagement. In
William Tell NJ. Due will have the part
of Arnold, one of the most beautiful as
well as the most exacting tenor roles
ever written.
NM. ocellier, Bouxman, Queyla, Kar-
loni, Talazac, Robert, DeQuense. and
Mines. Laya and Berat will also be here
with the organization. The chorus will
number seventy, and in addition there
will be a corps de ballet of twenty, in
Guiding the favorites, Miles. Bossi, Bert
logic, and Minoletti. The company will
carry its own orchestra of twenty-five,
under the direction of NJ. Amalou.
Washington has not had any opera for
several seasons, and the advent of the
French company should be quite a social
as well as a musical event.

Artie Hall, Coon Shouter,

When Artie Hall, the singer of coon
songs, who proved revelation to the
patrons of Chase's last week, was
asked for the story of her life, she sub
mitted the following rather complete, al
though brief mention, of her professional
career:
Born at Atlanta; was badly stage
and sang coon songs, much as l am now
doing, and got So week-that is, | got
the S. the first week, but during the
thirty some other weeks of the season the
manager contented himself with seeing
that my board bill was paid; in the sum
me- appeared at a park near Louisville in
a repertoire of Ethiopian ditties and re-
ceived the same old IS salary, only this
time | got the money; went to Cincinnati,
salary ditto; journeyed to New York and
Proctor, the vaudeville manager, paid me
the stupendous salary of $50 every week
for two weeks; Oscar Hammerstein liked
my work and increased my remuneration
TO s125 week, and was a feature of his
roof garden for nine weeks, and saw more
money than l ever thought was in the
world; played Topsy in Boston with Will
liam A. Bradys production OF Uncle
Toms Cabin and lots of people said /
was great now want to play Eliza in
U. T C. during the summer; don't want
any salary, but must be provided with
genuine ice in Elizas escape scene

Du Souchet's Two Successes

1t has often been the case that an au-
thor has produced one work indicating
genius and after that nothing greater
than medocrity has come from the same
source. Du Souchet, who wrote The Man
from Mexico is a case in point, although
a slight exception may be noted. The
product of his pen was two plays only;
the other being his first success-a genu-
inc inspiration-''My Friend from India"
Since bringing these two successes into
the world of dramatic art Du Souchet has
fathered nothing but failures, his latest
being the play built around Betsey Ross,
the Quakeress who made the first Ameri-
can flag.
Mr.. Du Souchet's first success came to
him while he was a telegraph operator
He dreamed of My Friend from India
between the Morse dots and dashes, and
wrote it in his spare time. He read 1t to
everybody that came his way, and one and
all were dubious. The managers felt the
same way when he became bold enough
to submit it to them, and for several
years he kept it going back and forth
through the mails.
Finally Walter Perkins. the actor, took
hold of the play, and after long time
the firm of managers, Smyth Rice, got
ton The first week was an anxious one,
but fortune smiled and thereafter they
were ION easy street. as the saying is.

Cissie Lotus for Washington !?

Manager Berger, of the Lafayette
Square Theatre, has been negotiating with
Cissie Lotus for her appearance with the
stock company that will occupy his the
atre next fall. The actress has showed
disposition to come to Washington, and
there is a good chance that she will head
Mr.. Bergers company next season.
Miss LOTUS will shortly go to London,
to appear with Sir Henry Irvings com
pany at the Lyceum, and it is expected
that she viii play few vaudeville en-
eagements early next season, prior to
the opening of the Lafayette. Miss Lof-
tus displayed unlocked for ability in the
chief feminine role in Mr.. Sotherns pro-
duction of 'ln the Palace of the King" at
the National few months ago. and there
is no doubt that she would be a great
favorite with the Lafayette and be a
frst-class investment from purely BUSH
ness point of view.
Washington certainly likes Miss LOTUS,
and Miss Lotus likes Washington,

Burlesoue at Kernan's.

The CTackerjack burlesquers will hold
forth at Kernan's Lyceum Theatre this
week, with the customary daily matinees.
The company has been seen in Washing
ton before this season and is well liked
by local patrons of burlesque.
The opening skit is entitled ION Board
the Mary Jane" and illustrates a full
dress rehearsal. The burlesque intro
duces twenty pretty girls. who render
songs, duets, trios, and quartettes in ex-
cellent shape. The comedians are expert
fun makers. Then come the speciality
artists, including Lew Hawkins, the pre-
mier black-face monologist; Brown,
Harrison, and Brown, three of the best
TO be found, in their lively act, Wait a
Minute" Fredo and Forrest. the musical
clown and the india-rubber girl: the big
Novelty Ten in an original melange; THE
Troubles of Little Lord Fauntleroy;" the
Mayo sisters, duetists, and Esmeralda, a
brilliant song illustrator.
The closing burlesque is in three scenes
and is entitled Nature" and keeps the
audience in their seats until the fall of
the curtain.
As an extra attraction Harvey Parker,
''the little demon wrestler" will meet
all corners and offers s25 to any man he
fails to throw in fifteen minutes. No one
is barred.

Dan DAILY as a Star.

Washingtonians are familiar with the
stage work of Dan DAILY. through his long
association with the musical pieces that
have come from the New York Casino.
This year Daily is a star all by himself
and in The New Workers. has made q
very substantial success, playing the role
of Millionaire.
Daily is assisted by a company that in
cludes William Cameron, the acrobatic
comedian; little Anna Laughlin, Rose
beaumont, Marguerite Clark, and some
seventy others. THE New Workers" has
Just closed a protracted engagement in
Chicago, where the success met with dur
ing the career of the piece at the Herald
Square Theatre, New York. was dupli-
Gated. Washington will next week have
an opportunity to pass judgment on the
merits of the star and his vehicle. 1t is
said that DAILY no longer relies on his
funereal visage and his famous monotone
to secure laughs, but is genuinely funny
along legitimate lines.

The Empires Opening.

The Biiou will change its name to-
morrow to the Empire, and in the cele-
bration of the alteration in the name and
policy of the theatre. Proprietor Wege-
farth and Manager Schlesinger have pre-
pared a bill of vaudeville and burlesque
that promises TO be the very best that
has yet been presented at this house
during the year.
The Lafayette show, headed by the
Great Lafayette himself will provide the
vaudeville portion of the show, while
Bert Leslie has a new burlesque in which
the stock burlesque company will be
seen. There will be several new mem
bers OF the stock company. and the or
ganization will be CARRIED in new and
rich raiment.
The Great Lafayette's act de resistance
will be The Lions Bride which when
1t was presented at the Bijou several
months ago scored tremendous success
and caused much speculation as to
whether the lion was alive or merely a
stuffed affair with a strong-lunged assist
ant providing the roars while concealed
from the audience. There is no question
as to the reality of the lion; he is a
large animal, very much alive, and at
times extremely dangerous to handle.
Lafayette will give his well-known i'm
presentations, including the one of John
Philip Sousa, of which he was the or
iginator.
Other vaudeville performers who
will be seen in the opening
part of the show are Barry and
Halvers, who have very funny act
in which Mr. Barry's tramp is one of the
cleverest things of its kind. The Herbert
dogs give perhaps the very best animal
act, while as ventriloquist Reynard
has few equals. There will be several
other vaudeville acts to round out what
PROMISES to be an exceptionally fine pro-
gramme.
Hereafter the Empire will be strictly
family theatre, with smoking prohibited
at every performance. The many con-
veniences that have been provided should
prove especially attractive to the femin-
inc patrons of the theatre. The prices
will remain the same and there will be
daily matinees as usual.
