While "The Masqueraders" can no longer

The Empire Theater.

Commencing with the matinee Monday,
washington will have a new theater. 1t
will be known henceforth as the Empire,
and will be strictly family theater, with
all the many cOnveniences that make this
class Of play house SO deservedly popular.
The Empire will take the place of the
Bitou. although the policy of the house
will be entirely different and the attrac-
tions already booked give an assurance that
the entertainment will be better than any,
thing Of the kind ever before offered by a
Washington amusement caterer. The pa
irons Of the old Bijou will hardly recog-
nize the theater now in its new dress, for it
should be understood the name Is not the
only new thing about the house. Every
thing will present a spic-and-span newness
when the first performance is given Mon
day afternoon. and the clientele will hard
ly know the place. The lobby will be

retiring rooms have been constructed for
the feminine portion of the audiences and

women folk. The theater has been redeco-
rated, both as regards the exterior and the
interior. New carpets of a CHEEKY hue have
been provided. and everything about the
Empire will give the suggestion OF COM
fort and elaborateness. Wraps umbrellas
and bicycles will be checked free Of any
cost.
Smoking will be done away with entirely
at all the performances. This is one Of
the greatest changes that will be noticeable
to the old patrons Of the house. but Proprie-
tor wegefarth has canvassed the situation
very carefully and believes that his pa
irons care moro for q clever and bright
vaudeville and burlesque show than they
do for the privilege Of smoking He has
observed that persons do not come to his
place of amusement primarily for the rea-

show that draws the large audiences and

Kellar.

Magic as practiced today pertains to the
fine arts. There is less of the mysticism
in it which characterized the magician s
practice In the middle ages. for the world
has learned to look upon these exhibitions
Of apparently superhuman power through
matter-of-fact glasses, but there is as keen
an appreciation of the marvellous skill of
agile mind and tempered muscles, and the
exhibitions Of later-day professors of occult
power are none the less enjoyed and ap-
preciated. Kellar has been an eminent
magician for years. He has furnished
brains which other men have plagiariZed,
and has wrought marvels which his less
gifted competitors have tried to initiate.
He combines the mystical with the divert
ing and gives to his entertainments the
variety which Is the spice Of all things
terrestrial. Kellar with q collection of
mystic novelties will be the attraction at
the Columbia week of March 10.
