THE CASINO.

In the headline feature act this week
at the Casino Theater Harry JoIson, a
blackface comedian. teller of snappy
stories, and a singer far above the
usual, made as big a hit as has been
made at the Casino in a long time. In
addition to comedy talent of an irresist-
ible order, he possesses a really fine
singing voice, with a range which en-
ables him to give a most laughable and
interesting burlesque imitation Of grand
opera vocalists in characteristic operatic
selections There is another feature act
of a very different nature. but which
achieved an emphatic hit, and that was
La Belle Clark and her trained dancing
horse and pet doves. Riding her beauti-
full equine performer, the horsewoman
put him through various dancing, which
included waltzing and clog steps, made
additionally effective by bells tied around
its ankles. Other attractive acts include
Lee Barth, who tells stories in eleven
different dialects; Taylor and Livingston,
in a comedy sketch. entitled "A Smoky
Affair." the Mozart Duo, a couple of
prina donnas; the Musical Brandons, in
a clever exhibition of playing on various
musical instruments, and the Lyric Four,
in quartet singing. The motion picture
plays are unusually dramatic and in
teresting.

I believe the largest display of hats
just hats-was shown yesterday by
firm in Pennsylvania avenue, near
Eighth street. I think 1 never saw
so many hats exhibited together or
such handsome ones. And out of so
many, the composite impression was
all of coral shades. Often when the
hat is another color there Is a touch
of coral evident in the flowers, the
ribbon, or the ornaments, or other
trimmings.
Among the hats which are distinctive
because of their shapes, there is q
stunning black shape called the Marie
Cahill-just suited to her blond beauty.
1t is of fine quality Milan braid, with
a high stovepipe crown and a brim
that rolls all around. 1t is faced with
black moire silk and trimmed with
a band Of ostrich and three French
plumes. The hat which Geraldine
Farrar has made famous is of black
hemp. faced with straw OF kings blue,
and with uncut ostrich pIumes in the

It would seem that the goddess Of
fashion had connived with the Weather
Bureau to be sure that yesterday
the day announced for many OF the
spring openings, should be balmy and
full of sunshine. From early morn
ing until the shops closed, F street
was thronged with women in fashion
able attire who were eager to ex-
change their furs and velvets for the
lighter and gayer habiliments Of
spring, and found every saleswoman
tried to see busily engaged, not only
in showing the new modes in millinery,
but taking orders for immediate de-
livery. If there had been any doubt
in any mind that spring was on the
wing. this was dissipated upon enter
ing the millinery pariors of a big shop
near Eleventh and F streets. Here red
and white rambler roses, white lilacs,
azaleas. and other blossoms ran riot
over the walls, a profusion of bloom
converting the usually quiet room
into what seemed a garden walked into
beautiful life by the touch Of springs
magic wand. The loveliest part of
of which were ivory white and over
run with a wistaria vine in
luxuriant bloom At the back the
windows were draped in curtains
which showed masses of pink
and purple and white spring flowers
through which the sunshine fell in
subdued tones like the light from
stained glass. One needed no urging
to tarry a while in this charming spot,
much less the seductionS of Easter
hats
One OF the prettest hats Of all I saw
here was Of TaEal straw in a cream
color, huge as to shape, with an odd
little scoop at one side, and faced
with pink satin. The crown was a
mass of pink lavender and white
sweet peas, with a ribbon Of pink
woven among the stems. Another
shape much admired was the much
talked-of Punch hat, in white Neapol-
itan straw at one side, stiff standing
wings of black velvet, and a cluster
of red geraniums. This hat, which Is
to be pulled down close over the hair.
was faced and lined with satin the
shade of the flowers Tagals, hemps,
shaded straws, or changeable colors,
Neapolitans, Panamas-au these are
noticed for spring. The flowers which
bloom in the spring seem to be more
in evidence this year than ever before,
and certainly this seems as it should
be. Few heavy hats are seen, most
of them being characterized by quiet
ness and grace.
Some Of the smartest hats I saw
were in a shop in F, near the corner
of Twelfth street. Here there was
less attention paid to the decorations
of the rooms than to the hats, which
after all are what the woman goes
to see. Here there were very stun
ming hats in the black and white COM
binations, which are immensely popu-
Lar now. Also in the Panamas, which
are especially good. and numer-
Gus other shades Of tan straw. Here,
too, I was struck with the popularity
of the shades of rose and coral, which
are so becoming and so dressy. A
window which brings out these shades,
and especially the new ibis, the color
shown first by this firm in a much talk
ed OF exhibit at the recent style show,
marks a clever contrast Of millinery
with its artificial fruit and flowers, and
those which nature has provided. So
perfect are the shades which have

StaQe Snow,

In Personal "Reminiscences of Hen- ry Irving" Bram Stoker lets his read CTS into the secret of how the snow scene in '"The Corsican Brothers" was made so effective:
 "All over the stage was thick blan- ket of snow, white and glistening in the winter sunriSe-snoW that lay so thick that when the duelistS, stripped and armed, stood face to face they each secured a frmer foothold by clearing 1t away. Of many wonderful effects this snow was perhaps the strongest and most impressive of real ity. The public could never imagine how it was done. It was salt-common coarse salt-which was white in the appointed light and glistened like real snow. There were tons of 1t. A crowd of men stood ready in the wings with little baggage trucks such as are now used in the corridors of great hotels silent with rubber wheels. On them were great wide mouthed sacks full of salt When the signal came they rush. ed in on all sides. each to his appoint ed spot, and tumbled out his load, spreading 1t evenly with great wide bladed wooden shovels."

1uninq Bells,

What beautiful tone that bell has!" is often heard. There are few, however, who know how bell re- ceives it's joyful or solemn tones. All bells after they are cast and finished must go through process of tuning the same as any other musical instru- ment before they respond with . clear, true tone. Every bell sounds five notes, which must blend together in order to produce perfect harmony. The tuning of bell Is done by means of shaving thin bits from various parts of the metal. It is as easy for an ex- pert bell tuner to put bell in tune as it is for piano tuner to adjust his instrument to perfect chords. At first thought 1t would seem that a bell would be ruined should tuner shave eff too much at the last tuning, or the fifth sound, but such is not the case. He would, however. be obliged to be. gin over, starting again with the first tone and shaving the bell till it gave forth it's harmonious sound at the fifth tone.-Scientific American.
