Mask and Wig Club.

This years offering of the Mask and
Wig Club of the University of Pennsyl-
vania will be presented to an audience of
Washington people on Monday night. April
20, in the Lafayette Square Opera House.
The jolly college men, 100 in number, with
their lavish scenery, costumes and tuneful
songs and bright humor. will come to
Washington upon a special train. From
here they will go to Richmond, Va, and
give performance of this years bright
production. ''Sir Robinson Crusoe."
The Mask and Wig boys made hit in
Washington last year, when one of the
most fashionable audiences of the season
welcomed their appearance in Washing
ton.
The production will be the most expen-
sive ever attempted by the Mask and Wig
Club. The songs and features are in

and Wig successes have been made posi-
BILE by the voluntary interest of the mem
bers. Professional assistance is not en-
ployed. The ways of these jolly produc-
tons are not the ways of conventional
playwrights; their laws are not those of
orthodox stage management. and their
vitality something other than the familiar
professional burleSque.

When the last piece had been hustled
Brown came humbly down the stairs. with

AN OPERAS EVENTFUL CAREER
Robin Hood" has stimulated interest in
the statistics OF one of the most wonder
fully successful properties of the American
stage.
The first performance of Robin Hood
took place at the Grand Opera House in
Chicago on the evening of June 8, 1890 Its
success was entirely unexpected. rehearsals
having been far from satisfactory and the
staging Of the most inexpensive order Even
today the author and composer cannot rea-
lie why Robin Hood still holds sway out
living every other opera of their collabora-
tfon. that has cost them infinitely more
labor and In their opinion more artistic
work. After the first performance Messrs
Barnabee and Macdonald had an linking
OF the value of their production but al
though Messrs De Koven and Smith would
have surrendered their entire rights for
81 100, they were not sufficiently sanguine
to make the investment and have contin-
ued 10 pay full royalties for every perform
ance since, which have resulted in a grand
total OF one hundred and forty thousand
three hundred and nifty dollars, a munificent
revenue from a work often despised by lis
authors. This does not include the authors

Hood in England and Australia, nor for the
rights OF the foreign TRANSACTIONS The total

can vitagraph motion pictures of a tour

one of the most interesting vaudeville bills
of the year. The coming of Johnny and

promise. The majority of the Chase au-

ed themselves of the opportunity to wit
ness them when they were seen at other
theaters here. Back Of their performance
or that well-known farce of many editions,
"A Hot Old Time" the Rays are not very
well remembered, but since that time they
nave occupied conspicuous place in the
comedy history of the stage, and one wholly
peculiar to themselves, for, though often
initiated. they have never found their popu-
iarity Wane with the public The Rays are
making as much of a success in vaudeville
as they did In the melodramatic theaters.
