WEEK OF
OPERA ATLAFAYETTE
Jack and the BeanStalk'
Thoroughly Enjoyed.
Miss Janis Especially
Successful in Her Imi-
tationS.

The final week of musical comedy at
the Lafayette Theater was ushered in
last night with a revival of Jack and
the Beanstalk" by the same company
which appeared last week in The Belle
or New York Despite the intense heat
large audience attended the perform
ance and thoroughly enjoyed the IA
miliar musical numbers and comedy
winch first launched the piece into ia
Vor some vars ago.
Jack and the Beanstalk' is a collabO-
ration Of r. a. Barnet and A. Baldwin
Sloane, and presents a fanciful story
In which many famous nursery rhyme
characters play an important part. 1t
consists mainly OF speciaIties OF the sort
that is peculiarly adapted to warm
weather entertainments Many Of these
made such a hit with the audience that
the players were pretty well exhausted
before the people in front had received
what they believed TO be their full
measure.
Elsie Janis has manifestly found
warm place in the esteem Of the local
public for she was easily the star OF
last nights performance. She is giving
a series Of new limitations this week
and repeated her success in depicting the
peculiarities of famous playerfolk. If
Miss Janis will only consent not 10 lis
ten TO advice which Is sure 20 come that
she take up real acting she IS des-
tined 10 occupy a position which few
stage mimics have ever reached. Bea-
trice Mckenzie plays the part of Jack
acceptably and Hattie Arnold as Jacks
mother displayed just enough OF a fine
voice TO excite wish for more vocal
work on her part
J. Francis Sullivan, whose success as
the polite lunatic in THE Belle" last
week is well remembered, is extremely
funny at times. but is entirely too loud
and bOisterous to suit the purposes of
the part He has much ability which
Will Better assert Itself when he has
toned down his voice. Harry Short
plays the fairy queen and executes a
fine dance. A similar specially is done
by Hughie Flaherty with distinct sue
cess.
Jack and the BeanstaIk" is q fine
summer entertainment and a happy
choice for the finale Of a most success
ful season Of musical comedy at the
Lafayette.

Vigorous protests have been made by
the citizens Of Southwest Washington
against the authorities allowing the
spiral fire escapes to remain in their

dent May Attend-Many

ton Of the Republican party.
In view of the fact that this is a
Presidential election year extraordinary
interest IS taken IN the celebration OF
this occasion by the Republican clubs
throughout the country. The National
League OF Republican Clubs has been
given charge by the Republican national
committee, and is sending out numer-
our pamphlets explanatory OF the his
tory of the party.
History of Party,
These pamphlets show that it was on
July s, 1854, under the oaks" at Jack
son. Mich, that an earnest assembiage
OF factionlsts who had voted under many
banners.
Resolved. That we accept the issues
forced upon us by the slave power. and
IN defense Of freedom viii cooperate
and be known as Republicans"
1t was since that time that the term
Republican" first became known as n
party name. II was also fifty years
ago that the Senate OF the United States
passed a bin organizing Kansas and
Nebraska. without anti-slavery provis-
ions OF the Missouri Compromise.
Il was also IN 1854 that Lincoln first
COPIED with Douglas on the great politi-
cal battle-ground of Illinois, and paved
the way for the remarkable debates
which lost Lincoln a Senatorship. but
ultimately landed him Ia the Presidency.
il was also during this time that sum
ner, Seward. Chase. Greeley. and other
defenders Of the Union began their can
vass 20 control Congressional elections
against the extension OF slavery.

Several prominent statesmen, among
them Cabinet officer. are expected to
