Carmen" by Students.

A performance of Carmen was given
at the Columbia Theater yesterday after
noon under the auspices of the operatic
department of the Washington College of
Music. The cast and chorus were drilled
by Thomas Evans Greene. who deserves
signal credit for the result The work of
the chorus was especially good, the fresh
young voices giving full effect to the beau
tiful music of the score. The female
chorus far outranked the male contingent
but that is usually the case. The cast was
noticeable in respect of the excellent work
OF Miss Buckier who in the title role dis
played temperament in harmony with the
character, and who sang the difficult music
with good expression Mr. Stevens. the
Don Jose. sang with spirit, and. so far as
his voice was concerned, excelled some pro-
fessionals who have been heard in the part
Mr.. Schaeffer, the Escumillo, was laboring
under a bad cold. but he sang the Tore
ador'' song in such a manner as to win
an emphatic encore. Miss Arts the Mi
caela, was afflicted with stage fright but
she was encouraged by an encore for her
solo in the third act and beautiful
bunch of flowers. Bizet's music is extreme
ly difficult even for professionals, and it
was remarkable that the quintet in the
second act was so well sung. Frasquitu
and Mercedes were well taken, the former
having an exceptionally clear soprano. The
accompaniment was by the Washington
Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of
Mr.. De Koven. and although there were at
times some difference between players and
singers, the fault was not with the or
chestra. The overture and the ent re acts
were well played.
The entire affair was under the efficient
management of Miss Katie " Wilson

that she Is beloved in an honorable way
by a dissolute gentleman of leisure, Neyill
Letchmere. He. however, is already married
and is separated from his wife. Letty's en-
ployer Vaudeville wants to wed her, but
she promptly rejects his clumsy proposal
When, however, she learns from Letchmere

from a letter that his married sister. to
whom he was really attached, has run
away with a lover. and his bitter rawlings at
the news awake Lefty to the reality of her
own position. Without hesitation she pre-
pares to leave the fiat, and she does so, de-

MUSIC

The new play by James x. Hackett, at
the New National is likely to disappolnt the
theater-goer who retains certain rever-
ence for historic accuracy. The authors
deal with Charles II as young man ana
instead of offering the customary plea TO
forget the past ask the audience TO forget
the future. Charles is portrayed as come
ly and highminded young man. VINO would
scarcely be deemed capable of inspiring the
censure which fell to that monarchs share
The play abounds in beautiful speeches. but
lacks contrast, both pictorially and IN
theme. There is nothing to suggest the regal
glories to which Charles is accustomed and
which makes the rustic episode with which
the play deals remarkable. The play, how
ever gives Mr.. Hackett congenial oppor-
tunity for work on the lines in which he
has hitherto proved popularity acceptable
