seeing for those who like the tragic story
Imperial.

The Three Whalens, in a twenty minute
musical farce. Is the feature attraction
at the Imperial Theater this week. Two
clever girls and a comedian who is very
comical. arouse much hearty laughter.
The singing Of this trio was also we'll APP
preciated by the large audience of last
evening. There is pretty music and plenty
of it in every one of their offerings.
An Italian artist and cartoonist billed
as Barnel is exceedingly good in his line
of work. His final offering is crayon

ing the tragic scene at sea. A sketch
p esented by Stanton and May. entitled
Drunk Again. and the exchange of pat
ter between the two, with the resultant
ludicrohs happenings, make the act a
laughing hit. The Bison's latest release,

reels are required to show this picture,

Polls.

In Alexandra Bisson's stirring drama
Madame H. the Poll Players took ad-
vantage of an opportunity to establish
their versatility. From the mirth-pro-
voking situations Of over Night" to the
grim somberness of the touching story
OF mother love, first made famous in this
country by Dorothy Donnelly, is a far
cry, but that the gap was bridged con-
summately was made apparent by the
quietness Of the audience during the
tragic scenes presented last night and
by the evidences Of moisture about the
eyes of those who just week ago shook
in their seats with uncomfortable laugh
ter.
Madame Y" afforded Izetta Jewell,
the leading woman Of the Poll Players
her first opportunity to exhibit her ca
pacity for emotional work, and she SEEM
ed fully to meet the demands.
The story OF the play is too well known
to local theatergoers TO need repetition
here. AS an appeal to the emotions it
has few il any superiors. The stage
settings were adequate, there did not
seem to be a weak spot in the cast. and
save for the length OF the waits be-
tween acts. due to the fact that 1t was
| the first production of the play by the
company, there was little TO criticise, and
this little undoubtedly will be remedied
as the week wears on.

National.

No production of the present season Of
the Aborn English Grand Opera Com
pany has met with more Enthusiastically
signs Of pleasure on the part of the audi
ence than that of aida" last night at
the National Theatetr.
It is hardly necessary to set forth
here the story of this charming opera of
Verdis, which has been heard and en-
joyed by thousands of music lovers. 1t
suffices to say that 1t was written for the
opening of the SueZ canal by order OF
the Khedive of Egypt and is one Of the
most popular in grand opera repertoire.
Miss Abercrombie, who sang the title
role last night. has soprano voice OF
unusually fine quality. and She sang with
first and third acts were admirably given.
She also showed herself an actress Of no
mean talent.
lAmneris was sung by Miss Fritz Won
Busing, strong Washington favorite.
whose rich and powerful voice in her
work of last night gained for her the
most cordial applause. Her stage pres
ence also added greatly to her success.
The role of .Rhadames was we'll SUNG
by Carlo Cartica in Italian, although he
was manifestly suffering from a cold. He
was called back several times to give en-
cores after singing the beautiful Ce-
leste Aida" Others in the cast were Ed
win Skedden. who sang the role of
AmonaSro with much power and convic-
, ton: Morton Horodas. in the role OF
Ramfis and " ilmot c. Goodwin, as the
king, all Of whom shared in the success
of the evening.
The work Of the orchestra under the
direction of Mr. Almerico Vinaccia was
especially worthy of notice. Its rendition
of the overture to the first act, when the
strains of Celeste Aida" are heard for
the first time, was exceptionally fine.
The production was magnifcently
staged. The opera will be repeated to-
night and tomorrow, both at the matinee
and in the evening.
The Misses Kristofy and Jane Herbert
sing the leading feminine roles tonight,
and Miss Abercrombie and Miss Won Blu
sing at tomorrow's matinee.

The Main-to-Water street hotel

the past number Of days. and travel
ing men are also widely proclaiming
the new hotel project. When Mr.. Car
ney was seen yesterday he stated thai
the building would be erected II the
necessary property on Main street
could be acquired: hat offers had
been made whereby the owners would
become stockholders or bondholders
in the new hotel company. and that
they would naturally receive much
greater returns on an investment IN

could possibly receive from the prop

ton.

OF the buildings, including the pres
ent hotel, Will be razed, and that a
ten or twelve story building will be
erected on the site. II will be modern
in all respects and strictly fireproof.
