sponded to enthusiastic applause with his
characteristic speech-a talk so well known

himself that if he made any mistakes in his
remarks any one in the audience would be
able to correct him, In further response to
calls he rendered the time-honored Casey

part of the weeks engagement. Miss Mar

prince. gave to the part a charming indi-
viduality. Miss Mabel Wilbur, Gillette
sang in excellent voice, and Miss Florence
Martin was winsome as Marie the sweet
heart of Mataya. John Hendricks voice
was heard to good effect in the role of the
envoy, and Miss Ada Deaves as the Widow
Fremousse was a most capable support to
Mr. Hopper. Guy Bartlett Pepat, the
keeper of the royal elephant, and William
Danforth Col. FracaSSe were funny. The
remainder of the company was excellent.
Last night large party of British naval
officers from the warships at jamestown
and another party of German naval officers
from the warships also in attendance al the
jamestown exposition occupied seats.
Tomorrow evening Mr.. Hopper will enter

Yes. replied, but what are these places
along the way?
They are the cafe, buffet, or gentle
mans exchange he replied to me. But I
tell you, men, the change in name doesn t
change the character of the place; it's a
saloon Just the same. Nothing good is ac-
complished by the change in the name"

THE THEAT E R.
New National.

The National Theaters program last night
announced 1.-THE presentation of Harry Bull
ger in the comicai musical extravaganza,
'Noah's Ark by Clare Hummer" Mr..
Bulger strove faithfully in his most farcical
vein to justify the adjective "comical;" the
composer offered a series of captivating
little melodies that left no question of the
pieces right to be called musical, and the
conceits are sufficiently fantastic to war
rant the use of the word extravaganza in
It's most Comprehensive sense. The orches-
ira, under the direction Of Mr.. Watty Hyde,
assisted materially in bringing out the
brightness of the music. and the mention
OF the old-time terpslchorean favorite, Bar
ney Pagan, as stage manager accounted
for the sprightly grace with which the
dancing numbers were executed.
The story contains points which are more
humorous in the abstract than when worked
out on the stage. Shem, Ham and Japhet
represented as bearded people in pinafores
funny enough In itself. The lyrics contain
many clever rhymes, which, oddly enough,
drop every now and then into inexcusable
dissonances and distortions. The costumes
are rich and handsome. The ancient robes
OF dignity were wrought out with becoming
splendor. but some of the modern gowns
looked as II the costumer had sought her
inspiration. from Peoria rather than from
Paris.
The show has but recently shaken the
dust of Baltimore from its feet, and no
doubt some changes will be made before
Its presentation next season. AS 1t stands.
1T Is a droll bit Of novelty. with flashes of
fun that are irresistible. One of the best
OmenS Of it's future was the confidence dis
played last night by its travelling manage
ment in frequent and prolonged applause.
The audience by no means resented these
friendly though not unbiased suggestions
and applauded heartily on it's own account.
On some occasions encores were demanded
until the stock of available verses was en-
tirely exhausted.
Bulger is not a comedian of the airy quip
and jest type. He deals in jokes. plain I'M
adulterated There is no doubt about
whether or rot it is time to laugh when he
begins to talk and as a vocalist he is most
at home when Keeling Off the irresponsible
but humorous jargon of patter song.
The audience liked him immensely. And
It also took into its warm appreciation
Sallie Fisher, whose dainty songs were
executed in the dainty manner that
was their due. Stanley Forde brings
good voice and a graceful personality to
the role of Noah Arkwrght. and the usual
nimhle soubrette and melodous young man
In military clothes were competently in evil

diversion despite the theological atmos-
phere of its early incidents and the rather
forbiddng phlosophic suggestions in it's
discussion of reincarnatiOn. 1t is eXcep-
uonally original in many respects, yet it
must be reluctantly admitted most enter
tanning when it ceases to be original and be-
comes like other musical comedies.
