The band known in Germany as the "Erste
Original Marine Schauspel Kapelle,'' which
in English would be "First Original Naval
Show Band will be heard in Washington
Sunday, Apri 10. The organization arrived
Sunday on the steamer Hanover in Balti-
more and went directly to New York, from
where 1t was intended to leave direct for the
St. Louis exposition. During the past week
various musical managers were invited to
hear private concert by this organization.
and experts in the musical business believe
it is by far the finest organization that has
ever been brought from Europe. Aside al
together from the great musical reputation
the band has in Germany, it is also known
as the fighting band" almost all the MEM
bers having seen Active service. The direc-
tor of the band Louis Kinderman. is dec
Grated with rpannmedais. which were be-
slowed by the German emperor and other
service and great musical ability. The
musicians are magnificent specimens of
physical development Herr Kinderman
stands feet inches and is broad
enough acrees tho shoulders to remind
one of Ajax. He6cules and other celeb
rifles noted for Drawn. His face shows the
red and white clear skin of the typical
Teuton, and his blonde hair and blue eyes
complete the characteristics OF his race.
Every member Of the band is said to be
giant and to be adorned with beard or
mustache in the style OF the German kaiser.
Before leaving German soil the emperor
presented each of the forty-two members OF
the band with new uniforms, one being the
regular blue uniform Of the navy and the
other white uniform for warm weather.
Washington has heard bands from Eng
land. Italy and other countries and now
will be able to pass Judgment on an official
German band. Tickets are now on sale at
Smiths ticket Office. Several German So
cieties have already discussed the question
OF attending both the afternoon and evening
concerts In q body.

Ethel Barrymore appeared this week in
another of those quiet little monotones OF
sentiment which would be commonplace
were it not for the vitalizng influence Of
her own individuality. cousin Kate" is
represented as a successful novelist, but is
rot called upon by the action of the play to
demonstrate her literary prowess. If she
were 1t would be necessary to invest her
with something more of originality and in
vention as to plot than the author Of the
play has shown But his work, despite the

the manner in which he has managed to
gloss over and embellish a familiar frame
work.
At the Columbia Theater "Glittering Clio

dashing vein that Hugh Morton displayed
when he wrote the Casino successes, which
set the pace in musical comedy and which,
despite his own early excellenc,es, proved
the ancestors of very puny, though
numerous, theatric progeny. An accom-
plished company of players takes GLITTER

through sparkling array of incidents to
some very tame conclusions. The ends of
the acts are all disappointing. 1t is
musical comedy. with most of the music

MY Aunt Bridget revived familiar re-
collections at the Lafayette Theater, and,
although the old lady's efforts to adapt her
humor to this busting era, did not meet
with the full approval of her old-time
friends, she found hearty welcome among
new acquaintance. MY Aunt Bridget" is
one of these shows which drop in occasion
ally to remind the habitual theatergoer of
the relentless progress of time. Things
which in his susceptible youth pleased him
now seem Improbable. The obvious efforts
to be up to date CRATE upon his nerves.
They are irreverent innovations. and yet,
as in the case of some well remembered

A REMARKABLE TRANSACTION I,

A REMARKABLE TRANSACTION IN
SALARIES.-Since time immemorial there
has been such juggling of facts as to the
atrical salaries that it is not surprising
that the American public has become some
what incredulous when an extraor binary
amount is given as an actors weekly
stipend. But in the case of Vesta Tilley
and her 50 300 a week for two performances
a day at Chase's there is every assurance
that she receives genuine greenbacks, and
not stage money" Miss Tilley was brought
tl this country by the Messrs. Liebler & Co.
under a contract giving her a salary of
81, $50 for seven performances and $l25 each
for all extra performances every week The
firm intended providing a suitable vehicle
for this expensive star, but, unfortunately,
"Algy," the musical comedy chosen could
not be kept alive even by Miss Tilley. Then
ture with My Lady Molly and "A Girl
From Dixie The Vaudeville Managers
Association then made overtures, but the
little English artistic was averSe on account
of the daily matinees. OF the salary of
81, 800 which she will receive for the twelve
performances at ChaSe'S Mr.. Chase pays
81 $50 and the Messrs. Liebler will send
Miss Tilley check to make up the differ
ence above the amount MIR. Chase will pay.
Mr. Chase considers himself fortunate in
not having had to pay all of the $500 and
Liebler & Co. also congratulate themselves
upon only losing $3.50 a week, instead of
the whole sum- owing to the play predica-
ment in which they found themselves.
Miss Tiiley's vaudeville tour has been
marked by extraordinary ovationS from her
audiences in every city. 1t is fair to con-
clude that if she was not worth the money
she wouldn't get it; that is the usual man.
