You Like It." brings the grand total TO
ten different Shakespearean plays. or
twenty-five performances for the season.
With these might be included several
amateur productions by the various
schools and colleges, but so far as the
professional stage is concerned. the rec
ord is a good one, and is apt 20 stand for
some time.
The popular interest in Shakespeare and
grand opera Is an excellent sign and
shows that theatergoers are vastly more
intelligent than some managers would
have Us believe.
The showing in grand opera Is even
better than that OF Shakespeare. Not
counting the twenty performances IN
Baltimore, by the Metropolitan Opera
Company, which were made possible 20
NVashingtonians by giving transportation
with tickets purchased in this city, we
ourselves enjoyed forty-nine perform
ances OF grand opera between January i
and July 8, or exactly six months, nor
does this include eight performances next
week or The Bohemian Girl
The performances were divided as fol-
lows: Verdi's ia Traviata," six per-
formances. four by the Aborns and one
each by the Hammerstein and New Or
leans companies; five OF Lucia di Lam
merm0Or,' four by the Aborns and one
by HammeTstein's forces; I'VE Of "Rigo-
ietto," Faust" and Carmen" four each
by the Alarms and one each by the New
Orleans Company; four each of Aida"
II TrovatoTe," and Martha" aud one
each Of ''Thais." The Juggier of Our
Lady 1.-THE Tales Of Hoffman"
"Lakme," "Manon, William Tell. ="
Les Huguenots," IT Pagiiacci." and
THE Daughter OF the Regiment" and in
concert from "CavaueTia Rusticana, q"
and ''Eugen Onegin.'
Truly this IS a most imposing list for
city which at the beginning OF the sea-
son saw no possibility for grand opera
being given. The suppoEt given has been
amply sufficient 70 convince any doubt
ing impresaHos. and the chances are
that Washington viii get its full share
OF grand opera in the future.
The announcement that Margaret IL
hngton is 10 return 20 the stage is. If true.
very cheering news She is an actress of
great promise, and those who saw her
perform as Nina IN His House in Order"
were prepared 10 give her a place among
the leading emotional actresses of the
Gay she IS young ana mas natural his
trionic ability. II is a pity that she
placed so severe a handicap upon her sue
cess as a voluntary retirement accom-
panied by disdalnful remarks about the
stage as a vocation. There is no doubt,
however, that in the face of her wonder
ful powers as an actress, she will speedily
cause her public to forget her indiscreet
Utterances, and put her back IN its affec-
tons.
The Columbia Players viii be seen in
a revival of "A Bachelors Romance"
in which the revered Sol Smith Russell
played Tor a number OF seasons. This
little play is full of tender sentiment,
and IN skillful hands is one OF the most
enjoyable Of comedies.

bachelors Romance"

Column bia-"A BACHELORS Romance
The Columbia Players will on to-mor-
row night offer a play which has been
enjoyed by a generation OF theater-go-
ers. and which was the last great sue
cess to be scored by the late Sol Smith
Russell. "A Bachelors Romance" IS
by Martha Morton, and was, probably,
next to - Poor Relation" the best
liked play In Mr.. Russells repertoire.
The story is somewhat similar TO
Barrie's THE Professors Love Story"
having to do with an old bachelor fell
low. a man who always has his nose in
his books. and whose establishment is
resort for bookwoTms and out at the
elbow geniuses. The action of the play
puts into these surroundings a fresh
young country girl. Sylvia. the ward of
the bachelor. and he doesn't exactly
know what To do with her. Naturally
the girl kindles the fire of love In the
lonely old bachelors heart. but he does
not realize at first the rare good fortune
that has befallen him. There Is the COM
plicatiOn in the comedy of the young
lover, but IN the end the matter is set
tied TO the eminent satisfaction OF the
most sentimentaily inclined, All through
the plot there are a series OF pleasant
little episodes, bright comedy lines and
the pervading charm OF half a dozen or
more splendidly drawn characters.
The role Of Sylvia, created by Miss
Annie Russell. will be in the hands of
Julia Dean, leading woman Of the Column
bia Players. while the others Of the cast
VIII be appropriately equipped with
parts. Considering the fact that this
is play which has delighted thousands,
there ought to be a genuine treat in
store for the Columbia patrons this week.
