Domenico Russo will alternate with
Eugenio Battain in the tenor roles of
both operas of the week, while Achille
Alberti will assume the title part of
"Rigoletto." His Interpretation is de-

give one or more night performances of
the piece In The Tempest Mr.. Greet

ban: Ruth Vivian, as Ariel. for which she
seems SO we'll fitted, and Violet Vivian, as
the gentle. marveling Miranda, who, cut
of from all mankind since babyhood,
retains a native freshness and simplicity
of demeanor that make her one of the
most iOvable OF Shakespeare's heroines
For this production a large number of
children are employed in the several
dances.
At the Wednesday matinee and night
and Thursday night performances the
company will appear in 1.-The Merchant
OF Venice" Mr.. Greet's Interpretation
of Shylock is said to be the most inter-
esting and artistic of his many imper-
sonations. Violet Vivian should make a
charming Portia. The remainder of the
company will be cast to the best ad-
vantage.

this play In Washington. though 1t has
long been in their repertoire. Cases of

many of the plays of Shakespeare, but in
no other play. perhaps. is this factor

Stanley and the Dogs.

rTou weekly.
From time immemorial caricaturfsts
have made use Of the common observa-
ton that there is In certain human types
a decided resemblance to familiar ami
mails. A notable example was that OF
Louis Napoleon. whose brooding, acqui-
line countenance was readily converted
into a bird Of prey; sometimes the French
eagle. but oftener and more strikingly q
vulture preying upon France.
The dignifed and venerable Charles
Darwin accepted an observation of this
sort as applied to himself and with q
humorous perception of its coincidence
with his favorite theories. while the re-
semblance between the courtenance OF
Paul Kruger and that of an exceedingly
sagacfous gorilla was more than once re-
marked.
An amusing discovery of unhuman like
ness was related by friend Of the late
Sir Henry M. Stanley. When Stanley
visited the Karaguas, an African tribe
rather above the average in intelligence.
he had with him a fine bulldog whose
pugnacious countenance possessed all the
unlovely characteristics OF the breed
Now ii appears that the karaguas gave
much attention to this beast. and their
chief. before parting with the white men.
ingenuously pointed out an odd fact that
he had observed. The Karagua men, fiat
faced. snub-nosed and thick-lipped. look
ed. he thought, much like the English
dog; while the half-wiId Karagua dogs.
clean-cut. keen-eyed and long-nosed. look
ed, much more than their masters did.
like the Englishmer.
Whether Stanley. who had every right
to think well of his own personal appear
ance relished this comparison or not he
could not do otherwise than take IL In
good part, and he had sense OF humor
enough to pass il on for the amusement
of others after he got home.

gate, are not supposed to partake OF the
sufferings of the people who have pro-
duced the piece. So we'll proceed
80
Take one Of the "lyrics"-any one OF
them-of this piece ''Girlies." "A lyric"
you know. generally means a comical dit
ty, though of course the sentimental
songs-''mush stuff" the lyricist and COM
poser call such-are lyrics. too. The
comical ditty has to be gone over literally
scores and hundreds of times by the man
or woman singing ii before it suits the
aggregation of drillers who are there at
the rehearsal to pass upon it,
The composer. his Boardwalk cap over
one ear, sits at the piano on the stage.
and. at signal begins to drum the
music of his lyric which the top come
dian begins to sing. Three lines of the
lyric are sung. with, as you, sitting way
back in the rear, imagine to be consid-
cradle effect.
But at the finish OF the three lines the
composer at the piano suddenly stops
playing, drops his hands Imply from the
keys, places his detected head in his
palms, shakes all over as If sobbing his
little heart away, and groans as IL in
horrible misery.
The three lines of the lyric as sung by
the top comedian have affected the writer
of the words, the writer of the book, the
producer of the piece-all the rest of
the drilers-in precisely the same way
they have affected the composer seated
in agony at the piano.
"Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow groans the
composer. until you begin to think he is
suffering from acute ptomaine poison
ing.
Sad. hey?' says the writer of the ditty.
