THE I'll AT E R.
Academy Of Music.

An appreciative audience was in attend
ance last night on the initial performance
here Of Sullivan, Harris and Woods melo-
drama, The King of Detectives" which Is
presented by a capable cast and with the
use of good scenic effects. AS in all other
melodramatic offerings the author has stop
ped at nothing which will satisfy the ex-
element loving public who will find their
every wish gratified. The entire action is
hinged on the doings of THE King of De-
tectives." who runs everything with free
hand. The manner in which the thread is
unraveled by him. apparently without OBJ
stacle so keen is his forethought is really
interesting. The methods which he brings
into use are far from being similar to those
used by a real sleuth. but after all he frees
the innocent and causes the guilty to be
punished. 1t is hard to imagine a murder
trial taking place without jury, and the
defendant unadvised by legal talent, but
SUCH however, occurs while the court Of
hcer who is supposed to preserve order
within the room of justice stands by, leav-
ing that duty to be attended to by the judge
and district attorney. There is considerable
humor in the piece and interest Is not al
lowed to lag at any time, but there is great
room for improvement in the court room
scene and also in the fight of the airship,
which was not visible after its ascension by
those occupying seats in front of the foot
lights ]. Irving White, who occupies the
title role, looks the part and enacted 1t as
well, while Virginia Thornton displayed
considerable emotional ability in her char
acter of the prosecuted girl.

Kernan's Theater.

Manager Herman inaugurated his 1904
season yesterday with afternoon and night
performances by the Utopians, a burlesque
organization we'll fitted for the occasion,
and, despite the unfavorable weather con
ditions two large audiences gathered to
show appreciation. The boys who over
crowd the galleries, were in a particularly
receptive mood, each new song being well
received, especially the sentimental ballads.
When Geo. H. Diamond, a local product,
sang his soldier boy songs, accompanied by
moving pictures, showing Uncle Sans flag
and it's defenders in action, a storm Of pa
trtotism burst forth, such as has not been
heard since the days Of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. 1t is astonishing what changes
are wrought in the few weeks that bur-
lesque is absent from Washington.
One sees mostly the same faces. but how
much fresher they look, the costumes are
all new and bright the scenery is generally
new or freshly painted and the songs are
new and up to the minute. --
Cabaret du Lion Rouge is the title Of an
"amusing bunch of nonsense tied with a
string of music" with which the Utopians
start the ball rolling. 1t Is above the aver
age and replete with new and clever songs.
Nice and Coy, two aptly named soubrettes,
come next in a well presented song and
dance turn, and McRae and Wyatt follow
with a laughable skit. novelty in a
show of this character was a sentimental
and patriotic sketch, by T. w. Dinkins, en-
titled "A Vagabond Hero" which was
closely attended and well received. Jos.
Madden and John w. Jess are as clever as
of old. bat should introduce some new ma
terial in their turn.
Emmonds Emerson and Emmonds are
succeeded on the stage by Geo. H. Dia-
mond who closes the olio. Hotel Ups and
Downs" the same vehicle which was used
last season, fills out the evenings enter
tainment. Friday night a midnight matt
nee will be given. at which returns from
the big fight will be read.
