the offering of last year is also noticed in
the strong male chorus of the present pro-

constitute the female portion of the chorus
sing well and are by no means unattrac-

Frank Daniels of the expansive chest and
versatile eyebrows, seen at the Co
lumbia Theater last n. ght in a role which
gave him unlimited latitude for the display
OF the typical comedy traits that have won
him such money-making place in the list
of stage buffoons. AS the part was charac-
terstic of the man, so was the audience.
1t laughed at every change of expression
on the Comedians mobile face, his sham
bling gait called forth peals of merriment,
his quips, songs and side lights on humor
were caught up and echoed in gleeful
chuckleS The climax was reached when,
al the end of the first act, the star was
called before the curtain for speech.
Ger seas and mountains he swept in the
librettist's airship of rhetorical fight, fin
ally descending to earth to pay tribute Ito
that most delicate and fragrant of all the
flowers, the on-on-' 1t was then that
the Daniels audience could contain itself no
longer. The laughter and applause was
dea fleming.
1.-The Office Boy" as the thread of a
story is called, is serving to win back to
Mr.. Daniels full claim to the high reputa-
ton he has enjoyed for many years but
which had been threatened of late by parts
not suited to him and out of place in the
surroundings supplied by his managers.
No musical comedy of the season has been
so replete with fun. While much of this is
due to the comedians own wit, it is in the

concerted comedy local playgoers have
joyed for a long while. And aside from
the comedy, there is a flow of tuneful
music whose catchiness is not to be denied.
1t is sung with enthusiastic spirit and
forms no small share of the evenings en-
tertainment. Admirers of Mr.. Daniels can
find no cause TO complain of any long alb

Much of the interest last night conferred
in the appearance of Eva Tanguay in the
supporting company. This young woman,
By her original and indefnable comedy and
effervescence of spirit in The Chaperons,
had made her mark with the theatergoers,
and her coming had been looked forward
to with undisguised pleasure. When she
swept upon the stage during the first act
her reception was second only to that given
the star, and her ensuing song gave prom
ise of high carnival of fun. But during
the remainder of the piece, while the bub-
bling spirit was not altogether suppressed,
1t was subdued and apparently unwilling.
There was surprise and delight in the
singing of an unpretentious little prima
donna with the unassuming name of Sallie
Fisher. With a splendid voice a refined
manner and an evident desire to win favor,
her solos and song bits with Mr.. Daniels
We're sources of real pleasure. Alfred

no happier audience ever left the Columbia
Theater than that of last night.

Sufferers From Baltimore Fire Receive
Aid and Assurance Of More.

Preceding the regular session last evening
of the Central Labor Union the committee
of that body appointed to assist in the re-
lief of the working people who were thrown
out of employment through the great fire
in Baltimore and committee OF the Bal
umore Central Labor Union held q confer
ence at typographical Temple. The Balti-
more delegation was composed of President
Frank J. Hayden. Secretary Joseph Nc
Gregor and Messrs. Charles A. Cullen and
Alfred Krouitz of the executive board Of
the organization.
At the conclusion of the conference the
Baltimore delegation was given hearing
before the local Central Labor Union, as a
body. The exact condition of affairs, as far
as the working people are affected by the
ire. was recited by the members of the Bal
t1more committee. It was stated that more
than 10000 persons are idle as a result of
the IRE, and that much relief work will
have to be done. In response the members
OF the relief committee of the local body
made full report of their efforts in behalf
OF the fire sufferers, and announced that the
indications for substantial reply to the
appeal to organized labor of the District
are exceedingly good. The local organiza-
ton presented the Baltimore committee
with $l00 and informed it that additional
FUNDS would be turned over to 1t as fast as

'The Man Who Dared" a five-act melo-
drama of the most sensational kind, al
though it has been seen here on previous
occasions, has lost none OF Its drawing
powers, and is still somewhat in advance
of others of it's kind. The name is derived
from the fact that man accepted the dare
to enter cage containing two unrestrained
lions to secure lady's glove. 1t is true
the beasts are not very ferocious looking;
still. the fact that they are lions is enough
to strike terror to the heart of the ordinary
person. The hero, however. without appa-
rent thought for his safety and without
hesitation entered the den while the ami
mails plainly showed by their actions that
they were afraid of the man. while the lat
ter conducted himself to the contrary. THE
Man Who Dared is far above the usual
of the melodramatic performance, and the
cast has been carefully selected, each MEM
Der being capable of furnishing the neces-
sary support to Howard Hall, who enacts
the principal role. Other male members
are Ogden Wight and Charles e. Odlin.
Ethel Fuller, in the principal feminine role,
shared the honors with Mary Servoss and
Clara Joel.

Early Opening of Fishing Season.

The receipts of shad from Georgia by the
dealers here in the past two or three days
have been very heavy, and the fish are fine
specimens of the finny tribe. A shipment of
about 100 was received by one dealer at the
wharf yesterday, and of this number about
half were splendid roe shad weighing twelve
or fifteen pounds each.
Captain William Neitzey, who has had a
half century's experience In taking shad
and herring from the Potomac, stated to a
Star reporter yesterday that he looked for
an early opening of the fishing season. If
we could have the river frozen up until the
middle of March, said the venerable fisher
man, the shad viii be SO numerous that the
boys can snag them with hook and line

Otis Skinner stands forth as one or the
few really capable readers of blank verse
that the modern stage can boast, while Ada

probation of the great feminine roles OF

her one of the most interesting and eminent

pearance of two such players together Is an
event OF the highest artistic as well as
popular interest Shylock, the bill selected

In Washington, presents abundant oppor-
tunities for both. Miss Rehan has been
most happy in the Interpretation of Shake

that she was treading familiar and con-
genial ground. The audience was enthusi-
astic in welcoming her to her accustomed

Mr.. SINNERS Shylock is not only an in
tensely vivid picture, but profound study.
His performance, while respectful to tradi-
ton, is a conception and in sense a
copy. He makes Shylock distinctly the
hero of the play.
His Shylock is not malevo1ent plotter,
but g. man of intense family affection and
religious feeling. goaded to a revengeful
frenzy by his misfortunes. He bestowS his
the character viriie grace and a personal
dignity thoroughly in keeping with his
