THE THEATER.

Marie Cahill appeared at the Columbia
Theater last night in collection of songs
and monologues under the caption Nancy

known principals and comely chorus are
provided at obviously great expense for the
praiseworthy purpose of giving Miss CahiH
an occasional breathing spell. Among the
novel ideas adopted by the Nancy Brown
management is that of sending the librettist
ahead to write the advance notices in fluent
rhyme and choice epigrams and dispensing
with his services in connection with the
show itself. The performance is merely

secures no further recognition than the
honor of having the play named after her.
The character might well be called Jane
Jones Susie Smith for all the relation
ship it bears to the touching ballad or
youthful trust and feminine deceit. The
authors of the piece are multitudinOus, and
it is another instance of Cole and Johnson
to the rescue. These indefatigable African
bards, assisted by eight or ten other people,
have succeeded in providing the piece with
musical equipment which, II slightly
heterogeneous in style, is decidedly catchy.
The company contains number OF clever
Beban with his representation of an eX-
citable Frenchman, and Julius Steger. who
sings with "a dash and vivacity agreeable
and rare in a tenor vocalist.
But despite the efforts of the other men,
bers of the company to amuse the stage
waits for Miss Cahill. She is an enter
tainer whose methods defy analysis;
natural Jester for whom her associates can
be expected to do no more than serve in
turn as interlocutors. Yet she is always
quiet and natural. 1t is often what she
doesn't say do that lends humor to her
work. Miss CahiH is the entire entertain
ment, but she is host unto herself.
A large and thoroughly amused audience
was present at the Columbia last night.

Old Quarters to Be Retained.

Inquiry last evening developed the fact
that the District authorities are likely
to continue the use of the premises No.

quarters for the police force of this sec
ton, Notwithstanding the notification of
the owners of the place that after the LIST
of November the rent would be increased
from $50 to $40 per month. The District
Commissioners have as yet returned no
official statement to the owners other
than that as the appropriation for the
rental of the premises amounts to but
$500 per year it will not be possible for
the District to pay the added sum. AS
the date of the increased rental ap-
proaches and no move is being made by
the authorities to vacate it is pointed

the police headquarters in Anacostia will
remain as they are for many months.

Hoolfgan,'' knight of the road who heads
an attraction Of that name, was responsible
last night for an abundance of fun. The
program notes that the production was
constructed for laughter only, and the audi

cordingly. The entertainment, which is a
bunch of nonsense is capable of driving
away the blues, and the antics of the differ
ent artists are of such character as to in
cite laughter constantly The production is
handsomely mounted and costumed and has
the assistance of large chorus, which rem
dered the musical numbers with vim, in
addition to executing several clever stage
pictures. w. II. Mack, the chief funmaker
