SIDELIGHTS ON THE PLAY.
Notes And Incidents of Production Of Carmen
Last Night By Amateurs.

The Colonial Theatre, where the
| play Carmen" was given last night
was as near in temperature to the
North Pole as il is possible TO get in
this latitude. It was SO frigid that
with all the warmth the play inspired
| in the audience, that vast body of
men and women arose en- masse and
| put ON their great coats, furs and
opera cloaks before the first act was
half over. It was pure freeze out
for the audience, but not for the
stage folk.
The costumes were handsome and
beautiful. Most OF the costumes were
hired, but some were made in Annap-
oils. Notably among these was the
exquisite costume worn by Mrs. Ste
vens. AS a contrast TO the others
which were mostly red, Mrs. Stevens
costume was of white satin, with
founeings of lace and chiffon, the
outer rufile being deliberately set with
myriads of carmine sequins. Her
bolero was of red velvet and gold Sc
quins, and she wore white satin
girdle. The costume fitted her perfect
ly and was a great credit to the mo-
diste, Miss Il. Small, of Annapolis.
.,The Spanish dance The bolero, .
by Mrs. stevens and Mrs. Morrison,
was one of the features of the evenings
These dainty graceful Carmencitas
glided alluringly and gave dance
the grace and poetry of which might
be envied by professionals. 1.-the
and supple they went through the mo-
tions, now alluring, now retreating,
with "A series of poses, bending and
swaying with poetry of motion and
their dance achieved one Of the mark
ed successes of the evening.
%.
Lieutenant Harms, who took the
part of Escamillo, worked under diff
culties. He accepted the part at the
last minute, Mr.. Sehermerhorn having
been designated for this charac ter.
Lieutenant Harms learned his part in
day and he deserves credit.
%
The long waits were serious draw
back to the play. There seems TO be
no reasonable excuse for this, and it
tries the patience of long-suhering
audience. Wherein the fault lies none
but those behind the scenes know, but
it should be corrected before Monday
matinee or the midshipmen will be
put ION the report" for being late at
supper formation.
When Lieutenant wainwright was
stabbed-he was captain of the dra-
goons, his friends in the audience sent
up two wreathes of imortelles with
Spanish inscriptions, and some one
handed the corpse (?) the lemon. A
huge lemon as the curtain rose in re-
Spouse TO an encore, was placed on
the dead captain 5 breast.
o.
The scenery, which was very effec-
tive, was painted by Mr.. J. Boyd
Dexter, especially for the occasion.
Mr.. Dexter also superintendent the
electrical effects, which were very
pleasing.
Rear Admiral James III. Sands and
Mrs. Sands and family did not attend
the performance of Carmen, nor were
Governor and Mrs. Warfield present.

The entire audience was i'm evening
dress, and there was sprinkling of
uniforms Of the Navy and gold lace.
All the boxes were filled, the main
auditorium and several rows in the
balcony. After the play several din
ner parties were given at Carvel Hall.

Dropped to "a.

Topeka, Kan, May despite
alarmist rumors of damage said TO
have been inflicted on the wheat crop
by freezing weather and green bugs,
and of farmers blowing up their
wheat fields to be used for other
purposes, the report of f. ID. Coburn.
secretary Of the Kansas department
of agriculture, issued Monday night,
declares from the observations made
by 1000 experienced correspondents
and observers that the acreage today
is created than ever previously de-
voted to winter wheat in Kansas, and
that the general average condition is
81.
The wheat crop, in the main, safely
passed the perils of the winter. The
continuous warm, growing weather
of early spring caused il to advance
remarkably and it was unusually
forward and flourishing, but later
unfavora BILE circumstances have
changed the situation. The high con-
ditions prevailing everywhere three or
four weeks ago have in Il major por-
ton of the wheat territory been les
sened somewhat each day since by
an abnormally cold April, including
several severe freezes, a lack of the
rains which would have sustained or
promoted its vigor. and, in various
southern counties, damage inflicted
by myriads of the green lice reported
so harmful in Texas and Oklahoma.
Correspondents mention these as
present TO a greater or less extent
in &c Commissioning in some con-
siderable damage and in Others none.
These counties are in the south
eastern fourth of the state.
Fifteen counties in all report from
Is to % per cent likely TO be plowed
up, Chautauqua. Butler. Bourbon,
Montgomery and Elk being worst. but
these have small wheat acreages.
The present returns, however, in
dictate that but a small proportion Of
the aggregate will be plowed up, APP
proXimating perhaps four or five per
cent of the states total. Even then
the remaining 6,2S9,000 acres con-
stitute larger field than was ever
previously devoted to winter wheat
in Kansas, and its general average
condition is reported as 81. The bet
ter conditions are returned in the
western part of the state, and
especially from the northwest.
