Columbia Theater.

The Korean comic opera success, Inc
Sho-G Gun" by George AIDE and Gustav
I.uders, will be next weeks attraction at
the Columbia Theater. This is the lirst
presentation of this opera in this city.
The Shotgun held sway for six months in
New York for five months in Boston and
for four months in Chicago. Mr.. AIDE Is
well liked by Washington playgoers, ms
County Chairman and college Widow
having won him particular attention, While
the music of Gustav Luders, more eSpe-
cially that in The Prince of Pilsen," and
in woodland" has made him one of the
recognized composers of popular music.
The Shotgun is called a Korean comic
opera" because the scenes of both acts are
laid in Korea in the mythical island of
Ka-Choo. The program sets forth that
the story is an indirect treatise on the
worship of titles unionsm, trusts and other
matters of moment which concern America
and Americans" The chorus, ever a marked
feature of a Henry w. Savage production,
tGre will be the augmented orchestra under
the direction of Mr.. John McGhie.
In the cast of principals will be found
John Z. Henshaw, in the leading comedy
role; Christie Macdonald, as Princess
Hunni Bun; William G. Weldon, a WASH
irgtonian, in the leading tenor role, Tee-To
Agnes Game Brown, prima donna soprano
of note, the widow; r. b. Martindell
May Ten Brock, Thomas c. Leary, E. p
Parsons Charlotte Leslay, Loris Scarsdale
and Lyman Wheeler.
The production has been literally staged
and assurance is given that when it is seen
here on Monday night the costumes Will
be as bright and fresh and the scenery as
clean and as complete as 1t was on the
night of its first presentation in New York
During the engagement of THE Sho-
Cum at the Columbia matineeS will be
given Thursday and Saturday.

1t begins to look as if when Sir Henry
Irving retires from the stage his eldest son
might succeed to some of his distinction.
The progress of H. B. Irving through farce,
comedy, problem play, tragedy, good drama
and bad, has been painstaking and sure.
He has never been snowy, and has been
charged sometimes with over-conscientlous-
ness When it was announced that he was
to be given a chance to pass his final eX-
animation, SO to speak, by playing Ham
let,'' no one doubted that the result would
be good. The outcome has surpassed all
expectations. The younger Irving says he
never has seen his fathers Hamlet since
he was small child and aside from the
marked facial resemblance and an occa-
sional tone of the voice there was nothing
to indicate that the son had been depend
ent in any way upon the father. Miss Lily
Brayton's Ophelia was also commended.

Who Loses?

From the New York Evening Post.
An item which reaches us from Boston
this week deserves notice, not because It's
subject-matter is new, but because it de-
scribes how a thing usually narrated as a
hypothetical case really happened A Bos-
tonian at Capt Breton having run up a
bill of 10 cents in a barber shop handed the
proprietor a Canadian dollar bill. He got
back in change four American quarters
and a dime. The barber explained that in
that part of the world American 25-cent
pieces passed for 20 cents. There the story
ends. But it is well known that In many
sections of this country Canadian coins
pass from hand to hand at a similar dis
count 90 cents American for % cents Cana
dian. Thus all the conditions are realized
for the puzzle SO often attacked on the
ground that It's premises are absurd. The
traveller could bring his four quarters back
to this country, buy some scent article
with, each of them, and receive four Cana
dian quarters in change If he were regu-
larly travelling back and forth across the
border, he could keep up this exchange in
definitely, spending % cents in each coun-
try without ever reducing his original dol
lar. The puzzle is, of course, who loses?

THE LONDON THEATER

LONDON. April SIN these days Bar
RE first night is the most interesting event
of the season in the English-speaking the
atrical world and SO it was that the Duke
of York's Theater was crowded with celebri-
ties on Wednesday evening, all agog with
curiosity as to what sort of prank Mr.
Barrie might be going to play on them this
time. When they left the theater a few
minutes before midnight they were still
curious as to what SORT of prank Mr.. Barrie
had played. 1t was as if the audience
had been a kitten with which the author
had idled with a string, now letting the
kitten get hold of it, and then snatching it
away.
Alice Sit-by-the-Fire; Page from a
Daughters Diary" tells the story of the
first day at home of a fine old colonel and
his somewhat Eighty and frivolous wife,
after their return from a long absence in
India. We meet first their boy of perhaps
fifteen, and their daughter of, say, seven
teen, who are awaiting the arrival of their
parents, and are wondering how in the
world they will get on with the strangers.
The romantic young girl, just out of school,
has had her first experience OF theater-
going, and after five nights steady diet of
modern problem plays In company with her
equally romantic school chum, she feels
that she indeed knows life. She now knows
all about serring wives who make appoint
ments for secret meetings in bachelor cham
bers, and when her giddy mother at last
appears and presently is seen to kiss one
of her boys" with whom she has had
sort of motherly Irritation out In India, and
who has promptly called upon her and the
colonel on their return home-ah, then the
young girl knows at once that here is
situation to which she must nobly rise. She
has heard her mother promise to go and
see the young man at his chambers that
very evening. Very well, then she, the
daughter, must forestall the visit and
save her mother, and demand the let
tiers, for in life. as seen on the stage there
are always compromising letters. 1t hap
pens that the good-naturad colonel had
been cOgnizant of the -semi-motherly kiss
and had agreed to call with his wife but
the romantic daughter didn't know that
She goes to the innocent young bachelors
chambers, and demands the letters" in
accordance with all stage tradition. OF
course, there weren't any, and the poor
bachelor is astonished beyond measure Be
fore he can get rid of the girl her parents
come in. She hides in cupboard but is
promise her. From burlesQue we are sud-
denly plunged into serious dramatic situa-
ton, but as suddenly the thread OF
the story is whisked away again, and there
after we claw after 1t with doubtful re-
suits. From the last act it appears that
the giddy mother is sobered by the dangers
from which her daughter has been narrowly
rescued, and decides to settle down and
''sit by the fire. thereafter. instead of gal
livanting about. The thing was played IN
the spirit of burlesque, but "a friend of Mr..
Barrie's says that the author had intended
his work to be taken seriously.

Two Office Buildings.
During the past week a deed was placed
on record transferring to Henry NJ. Baker
the Warder Office building, at the south
east corner of 9th and F streets. The con-
sideration was s250.OOO in trade. as Mr..
Baker gave as a part of the consideration
other property in this city. The transaction
was made by Ben B. Bradford, real es
tate broker, in connection with Early 4
Hampton, real estate brokers.
deed was also recorded transferring to
Senator Proctor the Office building known
as the Glover building, on the north side of

Tall Building Regulations.
1t Is understood that some change in the
regulations in regard to apartment houses
is under consideration at the District build
ing. Following the discussion going on in
regard to the matter, it is the belief that
the Commissioners will come out in the
near future with an order which will not
only modify the existing conditions relative
to the height which buildings of this sort
are allowed to go, but also provide that
there shall be more ample provision for
light and air than is now secured under the
regulations. Instead of permitting the
builder to occupy the entire area of a
building lot, with the exception of 100
square feet or so, the percentage of unoc-
cupied ground to the entire area VIII be
materially increased.
In anticipation of such action there is
quite rush of applicants for permits TO
build and while all may not be built that
are now projected, still if the building goes
on in accordance with the number now
pending there will be good deal of actV-
ity in this line during the present season.

Stamps for Car Fare,
From the New York Sun.

rom Inc New 1Ork sun.
The amiable car conductor is not so rare.
A silk-hatted man who had apparently
reached the sixty-year age limit attracted
the attention Of some passengers on a
Madison avenue car the other afternoon
by rendering the conductor two two-cent
stamps and a cent for fare. To their sur
prise the conductor accepted it without
a word further than to exchange greetings.
One curious passenger asked the con-
ductor why he took the stamps
used to be car conductor In New
Haven, where that man is an official in one
of the biggest banks the conductor said
He rode with me frequently, and never
gave me anything else but the two stamps
