Washington and Grand Opera

There is no denying that Washing
ton will show her appreciation of
good theatrical productions, whether
musical or dramatic.
This fact was made manifest at
the Columbia during the past week,
where the Savage Opera Company
held forth.
Despite several sessions of inclem-
ent weather. the performances were
well attended, u just appreciation of
the excellent company selected to in
terpret the creations there presented.
Beginning with ''Valkyrie, . Wagner's
stepping-stone to newer things, the
company went through the week
with a diversity Of presentations
that easily demonstrated Us possibili-
ties.
The one great drawback was the
place of production. The local lyric
world is satisfied TO support good
opera, and has so made manifest.
But it should have a proper place to
hear it. Put on Die Gotterdammer-
ung, "Rheingold," or "Siegfried'' in
the Columbia and the ttFombones
would blow the strings and wood
wind through the roof.
Lighter work, like "Aida," t'Rigo-
letto, La Boheme," and Faust"
will pass in such narrow environ
ment, but big musical effects are lost
for the want of proper acoustics
As to the cast presented by Savage
there is nothing but praise. The
singers, directors. and even chorus
evidence a true conception of modern

The remarkable powers of Mrs Eva
Fay. who is at the Majestic this week,
when first brought to the attention Of
the public. caused criminals and wrong
doers much anxiety, they thinking that
she would use them for the purpose OF
betraying them to the officers of the
law, but they now feel that, although
Mrs. Fay is not going TO help them in
any way and though she will aid the
course OF justice in some ways, still she
will never betray them TO the extent of
bringing them before the courts unless
they fail 20 accede TO her requests when
they are discovered. Often Mrs. Fay
has been called In by losers OF valuable
property to help them regain It, and in
every case she has helped them. but

theatrical ideas. Every opera from
Monday until the finish was well
sung; even La Boheme" with its
colorless characteristics.
There had been some criticism of
the stage settings, but what more
could be expected when the narrow
confines OF the theater are taken
into consideration. These conditions
should be a strong argument in favor
of a music hall in Washington. There
is "a true musical contingent in this
city despite some Gyspeptics who
rail otherwise Just because they want
to.
Truly a feature of the week was
Francis Maclennan, who displays a
tenor Of rare possibilities. and, best
Of all, he knows how to use it.
This same might be said of Miss
Gertrude Rennyson, except that she
should not essay Wagner. Lyric
work suits her better.
1t was unfortunate that Joseph
Sheehan should have been under the
weather in Aida" because Of the
impression created. He redeemed
himself, however, later in the week
in his other portrayals.
Winfred Golf was another who
deserves particular mention.
A word of praise for Miss Florence
Easton is hardly out IF place. She
demonstrated herself particularly as
Gilda in "Rigoletto," conscientious
student of true vocalization.
All in all the week was a distinct
success for company, orchestra, and

Stage Gossip From Gotham
By JAMES GRANT THURSToN.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.3There can be
no doubling the fact that Mime. Bern
hardts appearance this week at the
Lyric has been an unqualified triumph
for herself and her distinguished COM
pany of players The performances
were marked by a record breaking de-
mand for seats and spectators reaped
a rich harvest by buying blocks of tic
kets and realizing on them all the way
from 200 TO 500 per cent returns. The
audiences were made up of every grade
OF New York society. The seats were
occupied by politicians. leaders of the
Smart Set" nillIonaires, railroad mag
mates, shopkeepers. literary lights, and
even opulent newsboys, all of whom
worshiped at the shrine of art for al
least one night.
Though the performances were. of
course. in French. IL was noticeable
that even those least acquainted with
the language were as absorbed in the
acting as the more gifted linguists.
Especially was this true in the rendi-
tion of 'Adrienne Lecouvreur." which
was written by Nine. Bernhardt. On
Wednesday evening Victor Hugo's AN
gelo' was given. and the role of the
passionate. tender-hearted actress
Tisoe. who sacrifices her life that her
married rival may be happy. was por-
trayed by Nine. Bernhardt with a deptb
OF feeling that brought forth storms of
applause. Her genius shone Ike a
brilliant Jewel. On Thursday evening
Nine Bernhard enacted the title role
In "Sapho" and played the character
with wondrous coloring. in which she
swept the whole gamut OF woman's
passionate love. Last evening was
notable by the enacting of Fedora
which, having the scenes LAID IN France
gave the distinguished player an added
opportunity to awaken the intense in
terest OF her auditors.
New York has now in its greatest
playhouse the most stupendous Christ
mas spectacle ever produced in the
World. that Of "A Society Circus at the
hippodrome. which requires 754 people
on the stage Myriad features. a gorge
Gus eye-dazzling flower ballet. electric
fountain tableaux. and a wealth of scenic
accessories that dazzIed the behoIders.
IIobe-trotters. who have a partiaIity
Tor theatrical performances. say that
the production at the Hippodrone IS hv
WIDE interval much greater and bet
ter show than any ever given at the
faris Opera, the London Drury Lane
empire and Aihambra, or the Milan La
scala Many. many thousands OF dol
lars were wisely expended on the Hin
podrome spectacle, and from present
appearances every dollar invested will
be returned with a good profit. As the
Hippodrome is conceded 10 be the larg-
est and bes. appointed playhouse in the
world, there are seats for every,ho5,-
and many exits for adequate protectIon
from fire.
The week showed no diminution IN
the attendance at the opera season az
the Metropolitan Probably the most
notable performance OF the week was
the recital OF La Sonnambula" last ev-
ening. Though this opera OF BellinPs
had not been heard in New York since
its production by the Inflated MapIeson
company nine years ago, there were
many who remembered the attractions
this opera possessed at that time and

the doors. Nine. Sembrich. Mr.. Caruso,
Mr.. Plancon, and Nine. Jomeli all won
new honors last evening amid saIvos Of
plaudits from the large and distin-
guished gathering. On Wednesday ev-
ening the "Siegfrieds' was sung for the
first time in the present season. The
performance was unusual IN one re-
specific part of BrumhiIde was al
lotted for the first time in this city TO
singer not a full soprano, and that
singer was no less an artist than Miss
Olive Fr2msted. She acquitted herself
very reritoriously.
Two of the seasons most notable

Golden West and THE Squaw Man, =

respectively. continued during the
&eeh~the very heavy patronage accord
ed TO the productions immedia tely fol-
lowing their successful premieres. Mr.
Belasco's Offering grips the spectators
because of the strikingly nnelodramatic
effect presented from the beginning to
the end of the play Miss Blanch Bates
was never seen to better advantage
than In her present character as the
proprietor of a California saloon in the
days of "49" Her work as the lover
OF the hunted read agent is marked by
touches of genius that stamp her as
one of the most pleasing artistes on
the boards. Mr. Faversham gains
steadily In the appreciation of Goth
ans piaygoers because of his excel
lent efforts as the hero in 1.-The Squaw
Man" One Of the features OF the play
which is much talked of is the dialogue
between a real Indian. acting as In
terpreter for a Indian chief With
Faversham, the two squat. on the stage
and during the dialogue the auditors
apparently are led to believe that they
are not within a playhouse at all but
are really witnessing a scene in the
Far West. There is some talk OF
transplanting the whole production to
London. at the end of the present high
ly successful run here.
At the Savoy. Mary Mannering and
James K. Hackett continued TO play to
crowded houses. Alfred Sutro, who
wrote THE Walls of Jericho" is on his
way to New York from London, where
the drama is still running since it's
first production there over two years
ago.
One Of the most remarkable successes
still playing in New York is Bernard
Shaw's satire. Man and Superman,"
at the Hudson Theater, with Robert
Lorraine in the leading part. The
house is packed nightly.
