ten by Emile MorI Of this city. Its title,
"At Freedoms Gate" indicates the story,
which is founded on incidents of the war
in Cuba. The music is worthy of serious
consideration, for to It Mr.. Mort has
brought the skill OF trained musician,
and he has produced solos, concerted num-
bers and choruses which are melodic and
effective. The scofe stamps Mr. Mori as
composer of high merit, and it also be-
trays his inexperience in this class of work
There are opportunities for stirring en-
semble music which have been passed over,
but which can be easily remedied, and
probably will be. The entire opera is
worthy Of being Interpreted by experienced
and thoroughly rehearsed performers, and
1t would then undoubtedly appear In
more favorable hight. The performances
will doubtless gain in smoothness and ease,
for the opera is to be continued all next
week. Some Of the cast deserve common
dalton for their earnest and conscientious
work. Mrs. Ivy Herriott Shade, who sang
the leading soprano role won merited ap-
plause both for her singing and acting as
did also Miss Eva Whitford. who took the
part OF the boy Pedro. Harry Stevens was
an effective Cuban leader and r. Emmett

The performances are under the auspices
Of the Union Veterans Union, for the ben

When Emotion Wells Up.

When Emotion Wells Up.
In fact women are rather better losers
than winners, so far as their expression of
emotion goes. Up in the boxes one good
soul, who is obviously out with the inten-
ton of enjoying every minute of the race,
has won on the orange and green. Long
after the clapping of the crowd has begun
to die down one hears her palms working
vigorously up above. More than that, her
laughter rings from one end of the stand
to the other. The girl below. who has lost,
glances up and smiles with recovered cheer
fulness. Then they both set to work, the
one to recoup her fallen fortunes, and the
other. probably, to lose all her winnings in
attempt to double them. But, oh, the
excitement she will have before she goes
home as poor as when she left, good
deal poorer! For your true philosopher with
the sporting spirit goes to the races with
just much as he or she can afford to
lose. If fortune faVors, well and good, but
anyway, there is glorious run for the
money.
As the races follow one after the other
the women grow more and more enthusiasts
tic. Among them circles the betting COM
mssioners. Since many women go down to
the track without the escort of man, merely
taking along another woman as COM
panion, these men who circulate through
the crowded seats are their only way of
communicating with the betting ring. The
commissioners are fairly mobbed as time
passes and the race is sure to be called in a
very few minutes.
Gracious! l didn't realize there was so
much money in the worldr groaned one as
he escaped from the mob one particularly
crowded day.

In selecting 1.-THE Butterflies for presen-

season at the Columbia, commencing Mon
found a direct antithess TO Captain
Swift" and one Of the brightest Of satirical
comedies, from the pen of Henry Guy
Carleton "The Butterflies" served to in
troduce John Drew as a star. 1t tells
cleverly drawn story of everyday life, and
is as thoroughly in touch with our present
social conditions as 1t was at time of
writing, eleven years ago. The character
of Frederick Ossian will afford Mr. Arden
an opportunity of showing his already large
number of Washington admirers charac
terization entirely different from anything
he has heretofore appeared in. The play
tells the story of a young society butterfly
who is going the pace without realizing
that he is sQuandering not only his own
Inheritance but that of his sacrificing and
widowed mother.
Hiram Green. a wealthy parvenue, in
duces Mrs. Ossian to look after the social
interests of his daughter Suzanne and thus
learns of Fredercks butterfly existence.
He at once decides on rounding the boy up,
and the methods utilized show the clever
stage construction of which Henry Guy
Carleton has long been master. The
scene where Green tells Ossian that his
money Is gone, squandered, is deeply touch
ings despite Its seeming brutality, as 1t
proves the only way in which the young
mans better nature could be approached.
incidental to this is introduced a number
of varied characters which will give the
