THE THEATER.
New National Theater.

There is perennial charm in the music
and atmosphere of Robin Hood" The
graceful strains Of waltz melody, the stir
ring rhythm of the forest songs and the
ambitious flights of the concerted numbers
fell upon appreciative ears last evening at
the New National. The De Koven-Smith
handiwork has seldom If ever been render
ed more splendidly, and it's reception was
such as might have been expected of some
new masterpiece. The singing qualities
of the Bostonians are this year most pro-
nounced 1t was almost strictly an even
ing with the juvenile division of the COM
pany, and the newcomers proved their
worth in striking fashion. Robin Hood
is purely romantic, so laden with love
songs, so redolent of the woods and close
to nature that the efforts at farce every
now and then interjected into it's other
wise untrammeled way are distinctly jar
ring
The eminent and venerable Mr.. BarnaDee
was missing from the cast last night much
to the disappointment of the auditors. 1t
was announced he had been taken with a
sudden hoarseness, and his familiar role Of
the sheriff of Nottingham was played by
Mr.. ]. J. Martin. The latter followed rs
closely as possible the lines laid down by
the originator of the part. Mr.. Macdonald
Brown October Ale'' with his accustomed
vigor. George Frothinghams Friar Tuck
has lost none of it's amusing qualities. The
singing honors of the evening were quite
clearly borne away by w. c. Weeden, the
new tenor of the organization. who sings
the role of Robin Hood Mr.. Weeden has
a voice of much power and pleasing tonal
qualities. Grace Van Studdiford is hand
some Maid Marian and sings the score with
much sweetness. Olive Celeste Moore, as
Alan-a-Dale, is pretty, and Alice Judson.
as Annabel. was warmly welcomed by her
Washington friends Josephine Bartlett

Lafayette Opera House.

With the name of George Wilson appear
ing on the program in unusually large and
intense type, Haverly's Mastodon Ministries
have come to town, after an absence Of
several years. The magic of the name
"Haverly'' in the minstrel world in connec-
ton with the fact that this is the first
burnt-cork organization to appear in Wash
ington in a long time served to call forth
the devotees of minstrelsy en- masse last
evening and to literally pack the audito-
rum of the Lafayette play house to the
walls. The show is of the old-time class
to the extent that all the participants in
the first part and in most of the olio appear
with blackened faces. For the tour now in
progress the management has enlisted the
services of a competent corps of minstrel
entertainers. The singers have pleasing
voices, the orchestra is composed of COM
and many of the jokes and witticisms are
enjoying the first bloom of youth. First
class Judgment has been displayed in
the selection of the musical numbers
John s. Roland makes a dignified
and and accomplished g interiocutor, while
Swor and George Wilson hold up the ends
In an entirely satisfactory manner. Mr..
Wilson concludes the first part with a
pleasing medley. Before the curtain de-
scended he had transformed the audience
into a gigantic whistling chorus During
the intermission the minstrel orchestra
rendered some of the latest compositions
and Francis w. Sutherland gave a cornet
solo. Those who appeared in the olio were
the Young brothers, acrobatic nondescripts;
the brothers Swor, eccentric terpsichorean
artists; Garden and Somers, in novelty
musical act; George Wilson, presenting his
famous mOnolOgue, and the Carl Dammann
troupe of acrobats.

Columbia Theater,

Some tuneful lays, a bit of nonsense
bright enough to interest and please, a
flash of leeting ankles. the swish of whirl-
ing skirts. a blaze of color and oriental
settings, row of pretty faces and an odor
or violet powder. That is the impression
one brings away from the pleasing little
musical comedy. "A Chinese Honeymoon"
The Honeymoon is running its second
year in London, and in this country will
play it's four hundredth performance at the
Casino Theater, New York, April %. 1t
has visited Washington before, but still
serves to please.
In plays of this kind, the auditor does not
pause to consider the plot or to be unrea-
sonable in demand for logic and sequence;
he takes the gifts the gods provide and IS
thankful. So a great deal Of latitude is
permitted the playwright and the actor to
wander into any by-path that seems to
offer advertisement. If he never gets back
to the starting point what are the odds?
The thing Is to get response from the
audience, right off, and get as many as
possible thereafter.
The clever people who do the most of the
work are Toby Claude, John E. Henshaw,
Edmund Lawrence, w. H. Clarke, Belle
Harper, May Ten Brock, VIM. Riley
Hatch, Edward Clark and Edith Eldridge.
Due attention is paid to scenic effects and
costumes, and in every way the piece is
hilariously satisfying.

Academy.

Ross Snow. with the aid of comedians and
chorus, provides this week one of the best
entertainments seen at the Academy in a.
long time. There is no plot to study out,
nothing but a string of laughs, as the pro-
gram notes. with plenty of music by the
principals and a calisthenic chorus which
gives the laughers a chance to draw their
breath. The opening scene shows a busy
day in barber shop. The scene then
changes to a trolley car with the fun con-
tinuing almost without interruption until
the string Of laughs Is brought to a close
in court room. Special attention has been
paid to the staging Of the attraction and
the stage and calcium effects aided to a
considerable extent the efforts of the cast
Special are numerous, in fact, 1t might
be said that 1t is succession Of specialties
with songs and stage pictures by the hand
somely costumed chorus of girls who do
more than stand around and look pleasant
The Soldier Boy song with march and
drill by the chorus and four male members
OF the company proved to be one of the hits
OF the evening. Halliday and Quinn pro-
vfded neat talking speciality and Whalen
and Otto furnished clever song and
dance act which they had much difficulty
In bringing to a close because of demands
for continuance. Belle Darling, Frank
Leonard and Edward Begley also contrib
uted to the long list of specialties.

Chase's Theater.

The value of extraordinary headliners
was exempliied last night at Chase's when
Johnny and Emma Ray headed an ordinary
bill and packed the house from floor to
roof There is no questioning the popular
ity of Ray despite the fact that he is
freakish almost to the point Of being I'M
canny. The success of this team was
originally scored with audiences less dis
eliminating than those supposed to pa
tronize vaudeville in this city, but the re-
ception last night was so enthusiastic as
to leave no question as to the efficiency of
their efforts. Another conspicuous turn on
the program was Hal Godfrey and Com
pany in one-act farce entitled "A Very
Bad Boy" Godfrey is one Of the best &C.
centric dancers in the business. The re-
mainder of the bill was made up of La
Mole Brothers, sensational gymnasts;
Carmen Sisters, who played well on
banJos; Harris and Sidman in one of Weber
& Fields old sketches; Powelrs electric
theater; John DonOhue and Matte Nichols
in pleasing dancing turn, and the Ameri-
can vitagraph.

Will Not Be Converted Into an Electric
Road UntiINeSt Winter.


The future of the Chesapeake Beach rail-
way was decided att n meeting Of the off,
GERS and stockholders ct that road held
yesterday afternoon at the offices Of the
company in this city. The road is to be
operated as a steam,road during the COM
ing season. 1t will be converted into an
electric system during the winter. No
change whatever is to be made in the man
ner Of operating trainssthis season. The
Washington terminal will be at Chesapeake
Junction. at the District line. When the
road has been doubia-tracked and the cleo
trio system installed the cars Of the COM
pany will run to the new terminal. 10Th and
III streets northeast where a new station Is
to be erected.
During the visit Of President Smith and
Vice President Ridgway the road has been
thoroughly inspected. The work Of putting
the track in readiness for the coming sea-
son has begun, and the cars and all equip
ment are being thoroughly ..overhauled,
painted and repaired in the shops Of the
company, where a large force is now en-
ployed.
The important change which is to be
made at thef Beach is the transformation
OF the club house into a family hotel. 1t
is the Intention of General Manager Waters
to do away with all gaming features Of
the Beach and provide every facility to
make the place attractive as family re-
sort
MI Monatt's representatives have ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased with
the prospects OF the property. and the Dem
yer millionaire, who is the principal own
er IN the road will be told that his s.. 600. :
oOO investment is the best situated and,
when re-equipped with electric power, will
be the best earning property of Its size in
the country.
