~ welt commissioned Mr.. Charles
/ y NJ. Van Heusen, Of the
Van Heusen Charles Com
pany, Albany, New York, to visit the
noted factories, with the idea of sub
hitting a collection of samples for her
selection. Seyenty-eight different and
exclusive designs were brought to the
attention Of the lady of the White
House. For months the matter has
been the thought Of many Of the most
noted china-decOrators, and possibly
never before has there been a more
beautiful collection Of designs in cera-

of any one with a similar idea in view.

Lafayette Opera Houe,

A more enthusiastic and responsive audi
ence is seldom found than that which
greeted Louis Mann and a capable COM
pany in Leo Dietrichstein's laughable
comedy "All on Account of Eliza at the
Lafayette Theater last night. Nearly
every seat in the playhouse was filled, not
withstanding the disagreeable condition Of
the weather, and from the rise until the
fall Of the curtain there was scarcely any
interruption in the laughter and applause,
each outbreak dovetailing into a succeed
ing demonstration the funny situations
were presented and the distorted and in
congrugous sentences incident to the Ger
man dialect fell in rapid succession from
the lips of the eccentric president Of the
board of trustees. The play has been seen
in Washington, with Mr.. Mann in the
principal role, on several previous occa-
sions, and it is by no means new to the
theatergoing public Of this city. It is one
of the best comedies on the boards, and 1t
has lost none of its mirth-producing quail
tiles because of previous presentations here.
Theatergoers are likely to associate the
character of Eliza Carter, the school
teacher, with Clara Lippman, who played
the part with Mr.. Mann for several years.
Miss Olive May appears in the part in this
production and is eminently suited to the
role. w. d. Greene, as Walter Hochstuhl,
gave creditable performance.

Aptommas' Harp Recital.

Mr.. Aptommas, the Welsh harpist, gave
a recital In the Halls of the Ancients yes
terday afternoon, which drew forth a large
audience, despite the rain and general I'm.
pleasantness out of doors. The place was
admirably adapted to harp recital, the at
mosphere of antiquity seeming to harmo-
nize perfectly with the soft music Of the
harp. The soloist is among the best-knowr
harpists in the country. He will be re.
membered as having given a number OF
harp recitals at the British embassy about
ten years ago. He is more than seventy
years of age, but despite this fact he has
made tour Of the world since last visiting
Washington and has played in almost every
city of prominence. He has a most delicate
touch and manages to get more music from
his instrument than the majority of harp
lists. His program yesterday was varied

fair to rule forever-or, at least, for an in

visit to the capital city, and to Judge from
the expressions Of approval manifested by
the audience at the Columbia Theater last
evening the popularity of the tuneful pro-
duction has not waned in the slightest de-
gree. The music of 1.-THE BurgomaSter'
possesses unusual staying qualities All
the numbers, and particularly THE Tale of
a Kangaroo" were encored time and again
last evening, the listeners displaying as
much enthusiasm and appreciation as
though the songs were being heard here for
the first time. The audience obedently
complied with the request of the manage
ment not to worry about historical inaccu-
racies, anachronisms and lapses from log
fcal sequence and common sense in the
piece, took everything for granted and ac-
cordingly derived thorough enjoyment from
the offering. Gus c. Weinberg has sue

portrays the character of Peter Stuyvesant

proficiency and laugh-producing success

have turned to the stars. THE Silver Sip

takes for its heroine young woman, an
inhabitant of Venus, who has kicked her
slipper off her own planet and is sent to
this earth to find 1t. But slight care Ia
taken to realize the possibilities of this
fanciful episode. so far as story is con-
cerned. The entertainment depends mainly
individual efforts to amuse, hbera1ty IN
costumng, splendors Of stage decoration,
expert dancing and picturesque groupings.
There are several of the little story songs
accompanied by appropriate gestures ana
graceful poses on the part of the male
chorus, which the success OF the "FIoro-
dora sextet established as one of the IN
situations of extravaganza.
Like Eva Davenport, who plays SO I'M

that there is time to find fault because
OF a lack of intellectually. Edna Wallace

Although not very effectual as a vocal
list, she is a very prevalent quantity In
the performance, and because of her dimin-
utve stature and graceful dancing is al
ways welcome. The songs are such as
please in passing, but which as rule do not
haunt the recollection.
There is one number rendered by Edna
Wallace Hopper with the assistance Of
long row of gilt chairs and the male con-
tinsent, which fingers agreeably in mind,
because of its tunefulness or it's clevernesS
or the display of furniture-it is impossible
to say which.
The ballet features are exquisite, and
get their inspiration from the proper source,
the orchestra. The music, frolicso1ne vivi-
flying and yet substantial asserts itself as
the direct cause of the madcap rev.
elry on the stage, and is like an echo from
the days when this style of writing occu-
pied the efforts of some Of the most compe-
tent and best recognized composers.
THE Silver Slipper is joyous trifie, ar
tistically considered; as a production it Is
mammoth. The audience last night was
enthusiastically cordial.

The best bill in many weeks is on the
boards at the Academy this week under the
title of "Alphonse and Gaston," which may
properly be described as novelty comedy.

while Harry B. Watson, as the tramp cy-

efforts.
