Mr.. wilibrd Russelrs Recital.

Fashionable audience gathered at the
Washington Club yesterday afternoon to
hear Mr.. MILFORD Russell, the English BARI
tone, who is touring this country. While in
Mr.. Russelrs voice there is not the volume
one usually finds in a baritone. the richness
OF the quality and the mellow tone supply
this deficiency. From the program rendered
yesterday Mr.. Russell seems to realize his
limitations as well as his most captious
critic. and does not attempt anything that
does not mt his voice perfectly. As re-
suit the program rendered yesterday was
most pleasing. Tosti's ''Serenade" was the
opening song, followed by three songs that
are entirely new to Washington, I'm
Valid. "Sehnseht" and "Sing, Nachtigall
Du." all by Halfdun Kjerulj. These songs
provided novelty that was greatly appre-
seiated Mr.. Russell also sang Nevins'
Mighty LAX Rose" and was obliged to
repeat 1t, while his rendition of The Lass
With the Delicate Air" was given with
delicate humoc that delighted the audience.
The remainder of Mr.. Russell's program in
Guided such songs as were thoroughly
adapted to his voice and were all well rem
dered. The work of Mrs. Russell as accom-
PIANIST was finely done. Mrs. Russell Is a
skillful pianist and understands the art OF

Columbia Theater.

Kellar, whose annual engagement at the
Columbia Theater opens Monday afternoon
with special holiday matinee, has al
ways a powerful fascination to the patrons
Of this popular theater. 1t is the natural
attraction which rests in all things hidden
and mysterious, the uncanny, the weird.
The young marvel at his feats Of legerder-
main, and the more serious and thoughtful
take deep interest in the wide grasp and
range Of knowledge and science this re-
markable man possesses. Much that he
does Is mere child's play to him. and is done
with a good natured ease and an amusing
twinkle In his eye, but when he comes to
the important experiments the strong men,
tai effort and the absorption 1t requires Is
seen from the tenseness Of his expression
and the greater seriousness of his air.
Many of his tricks are purely mechanical,
and he acknowledges the fact frankly, but
the important ones he does not speak so
lightly of, for they have cost him the best
years of his life, hard study and profound
thought. This year he brings many novel;
ties of minor and greater magic and retains

Academy of Music.

A genuine western atmosphere pervades
"MLiss," which comes to the Academy
next week, for the entire action Of the play
takes place in California at the time when
the state was overrun with adventurous
seekers for gold. The character Of the
heroine is a beautiful one. When she is
first introduced she is but a girl, the pet of
the camp. Her love for the schoolmaster is
charmingly depicted in the story. as Is her
admiration for the big stage driver, Yuba
Bill. The characters Of the story are repro
duced in the play. There is the ignorant
justice of the peace, whose knowledge of
the law is more limited than that of the
ordinary boy, there is the travelling actor
manager, every ready to amuse the miners
with anything in the gamut of things the
atrical from Hamlet" to a song and
dance. His exterior'is rough, but his heart
is as true as steel, and there is breezness
about him that makes him altogether de-
lightful. The schoolmaster is another clever
character type. The title role will be played
by Nellie McHenry, and the cast will include
M. E. Kelsey Yuba Bill, Frank Dayton
as the schoolmaster. Howard Sidney as the
Mexican, Charles w. Young as Templeton
Fake, the actor, Walter Fletcher the

M USICAL MENTION

In regard to the Persian Garden which
was given at the Congregational Church
last Tuesday night, 1t might be said that
the work was first presented in this city
by Mrs. H H. Mills at the Church OF Our
Father in May. 1898. This was its second
public hearing in this countryside first
rendition having been given In New York
The quartet at that time was composed OF
Miss Mae Greenwich, Miss EIeanore
Simonds, Mr.. Otto Luebkert and Mr.. VIM.
Mooney. The large audience was provided
with the text Of the poem, and copies OF
some of the famous Fitzgerald Illustrations.
Since that time more than thousand pro-
auctions have been given in different parts
Of the country. which strongly testifies to
the beauty and power of both music and
poem.
In the winter of 1899 1t was again given In
" ashington at one Of Miss Behrman's
morning musieales to a fashionable audi
ence assembled In Rauscher's Music Hall.
The quartet Of stars upon this occasion
was David Bispham, Mckenzie Gordon.
Marguerite Hall and Mrs Seabury Ford,
announced, although Mrs Ford was unable
to appear.
Last winter Mrs. Mills again gave the
beautiful cycle at the Columbia Thsatel to
large audience Chere not being even
standing roomJ by quartet composed of
Miss Lillian Haliy, Miss Eleauore Simonds,
Mr.. Sidney Percy Thompson and Mr.. Hora-
ito Rench. This quartet was so successful
that 1t was engaged for Baltimore, and
filled there a later date with great success.
