Tho latest creation of Mr. Hichard Mansfield
and tho impersonation of a character so singu
larly conspicuous In tho past social history of
the mother country and nt tho same tlmo so
popularly misunderstood must bo termed a
creation has caught tho same favor with tho
Washington public as tho other characters
which ho has made his own In former years.
"Beau Brummcll," in which ho played tho
tltlo rflle at Albaugh's Grand Opern House last
week, is a remarkably strong play, nnd as un
like any of his other dramatic ownlngs as they
arc nil unlike each other. "A Parisian Ro
mance," "Prince Karl," and "Dr. .Tckyll and
Mr. Hyde" nro nil strong plays, demanding for
their cflcctivo production just that sort of
artistic work which Is a llttlu outside tho gen- i
oral rut whero tho playwright's fortune begins I
and ends. These have all beon seen hero before,
only to oxclto ndmlrntlou for the beautiful woik
of Mr. Mansfield and his faculty for obtaining
unique plays. Hut the real fact Is that Mr.
Mansfield can see possibilities thnt might bo
thrown aside by others less capable, nnd has
thus established his peculiar Individuality.
There are few actors on tho American stngo to
dny, however, whose efforts will show the same
exquisitely consistent character study presented
by Mr. Mansfield in his personation of Beau
Hrummcll. Here is found tho most extrava
gantly ccceutric dignity and vanity combined
with tho most delicate ease nnd grace. There
is no playing to the audience and no monopoly
of the stage centre. In other words, there is no
more of Mr. Mansfield in Beau JJrummell thnn
theieisof Beau Brummcll in Mr. Mansfield,
nnd this is ns It should bo with a true artist.
The company is very strong. Miss Bcatrlco
Cameron as 'Mariana Vincent is charmingly
natural, and Miss Ethel Spraguo as Kathleen,
who does her iuitinl professional work this
season, shows most promlsiug possibilities for
her dramatic career. Miss Adelo Mcasor as
Mrs. St. Aubyn is not so good, but the other
membeis of the company, too numerous for
individual mention, are all well known for
their excellent abilities.
Years have come and years have gone, but
Lotta is still the inimitable. Many counterfeits
i have appeared on the stage, only to be detected
by a critical public and relegated to tho more
reclusive walks of professional life. There Is
but ono Lotta, and last week she appeared at
the National Theatre to please large audiences
by a repertory of sparkling comedies and ope
rettas. That she succeeded was sufficiently evi
denced by the happy reception greeting her upon
her every appearance. An Innovation made
1 this year is in the musical features which are
presented. Her company comprises n number
of the best actor-singers, who aro clever alike in
comedy nnd operetta. Among them arc Mr.
and Mrs. Broderiek, whoso reputations here
have boon most popularly established; Mr. Will
Rising, whose sweet tenor voice Is as excellent
ns his manners, and Mr. Walter Allen, a genu
ine Washington favorite. Miss Adelaide Cot
ton, Mr. Lionel Bland, and Mr. Harry Brown
are additional evidences of tho excellent mate
rial comprising tho company. The repertory of
the week included "Musette," "Spoiling tho
Broth," "A Faint Heart," "Nan tho Good-for-Nothlug,"
and a charming new musical comedy
entitled "Iua."
Tho tJucli Opera Season.
Grand opera in English has no more devoted
champion than Emma Juch. She has given tho
.stago many an artistic nnd well-remembered por
trayal, and her high rank among prima donnas
well warrants the taking of her namo to desig
nate tho famous body of siugers that commence
a brief seasou of opera at tho National Theatre
to-morrow night. Under the experienced direc
tion of Charles E. Locke tho Emma Juch Grand
English Opera Company has made a notable rec

Goorgino Yon Januschowsky, tho Russian prima

Tlio first performance In Mils city to-morrow

Steele Mackayo's sensational malodrama,

was geneially conceded by the critics thnt tho
stnglng of the play was tho most elnborato and

Harris's Bijou Theatre.
The management of Harris's Bijou ha6 se
cured the celebrated Nelson family, with its ag
gregation of star specinlty performers, for tho
present week's attraction. The Nelsons are
world-famed for the marvelous daring of their
acrobatic feats, having attempted and accom
plished undertakings that made old athletes
stand in open-mouthed wonder. The specialty
performers have been selected from both conti
nents for their extraordinary skill. The five
Casuanls, from Barcelona, Spain, appear in a
melange which is full of drolleries aud funny
effects. La Belle Adele Is introduced in her

ono of tho features of tho season. Tho play is
for tho benefit of tho Painters' aud Decorators'
Assembly, K. of L. Among tho members of

made a distinctive hit iu tlio character of
Danny Mann, and last spring appeared hero so
successfully as Jack Winchester In "A Knight
of Labor," aud Mr. William II. Dougherty, Into
of tho Lotta Company, who appears as Myles
naCoppaleen, a character iu which he has
achieved much success, Tho play will bo put

draw that swings out Into tlio auditorium in or
der to allow the passage through of a huge lake
steamer. Another scene, tlio "haunt of a gantr
of counterfeiters, is said to bo a flno piece of
scenic work. The play Is founded on tlio ex
perience of n "money mad" millionaire, and Its
somewhat trlto moral Is that tlio lust of gold
will blunt tlio finest instincts and drivo men to
madness and crime, and tho purposo of tlio
play Is to show how the lovo of monoy tho
mad scramble for wealth drags men down un
til they will do and dnro anything for Its posses-
sion, while it still falls to bring tho happiness
which they foolishly imagine they can purchaso
with It. That tho play will bo well interpreted
is assured by tbo strong company Mr. Hill has
selected, comprising Margaret Bradford, a
young nnd talented actress, who has gained
new laurels by her powerful and artistic dra
matic work in tho rolo of Kate O'JYciV, the i
leading feminine pnrt of tho play. Other well
known members of the cast are B. R. Graham, !
Mann Mitchell, J. F. Brien, Lizzie Mulvey,
Mary Bird, Kato Toncray, and Gertie Dawes. ;
their musical fnrce-comedy, the "U. S. Mnil," is '
the biggest money winner west or tho Mississippi
River. Mr. Hansen is doing the advance work,
and has made n great record. Mr. Brooks looks
niter the interests ot the show In tho East. Tho !
hitter has just returned from n trip to Now
York, where he signed four clover people. Miss '
Emily Northrup was ono of them. She will bo
pleasantly remembered hero as a member of
"Fantasma." Arthur ltlcketts, nn English
comedian, nnd Dorothy Fox, n bright nnd clever
eighteen-year-old Boston girl, and Fred Eustls
were also signed. Eustls is to direct th musical
part of the "U. S. Mnil," and resigned from
Minnie Palmer's Company to nccept nu offer of
3100 n week, made by Mr. Brooks. In addition
to these people, every ono of whom stnnds vory
high in his particular line, Mr. Brooks has
signed two well-known Washlngtoninns, Miss
Efllo Darling nnd Mr. William Caulfiold. Miss
Darling has n bright nnd catchy styie of singing
that wins her sure favor from her nudlcnce.
She wns for a long time n pupil of Dr. Kimball.
Mr. Cnulllcld is perhnps better known, owing to
having spent nil of his life here, while Miss
Darling has been "on the road." Mr. Caulfleld
is u son of Professor Caulfleld, which is guaran
tee sufficient thnt he knows how to uso his
voice. Mr. Brooks thinks ho has a prize in both.
Tho "U. S. Mail" comes to this city somo
time in Februnry, nnd is certnln to linvo
n grent reception. Tho enterprise is essentially
n Washington one. Hansen and Brooks, together
with E. A. Dietrich, of Baltimore, bought tho "U.
S. Mnil" fully a year ago. They did no talking,
but went quickly to work looking to its presen
tation. Mr. Brooks wns selected to go to New
York nnd launch the new enterprise. Ho went
there without knowing a single person connected
with the theatrical profession. Ho offered his
piece in turn to n number of tho leading firms,
only to be told that they could not handle it,
But ho had fnith nnd determined to push it him
self. He did so, and now tho show hns been out
cloven weeks and ho has earned in that timo
forty-two thousand dollars. This means a profit
of nearly $0,000 to tho plucky journalists nnd
their party.
In tho play of "Monoy Mad" n prayer is pro
nounced by an old uegro woman la tho second
net, and when tho piny was first produced nt tho
Standard" Theatro, in New York, the aforesaid
prayer touched somo supeisonsitivo feelings,
nnd critical opinion pronounced ngainst its con
tinuance; so Miumecr Hill determined to learn
what tho plny-goor3 thought of it. Accordingly,
ono night Steele Macknyo appeared botween the
third and fourth nets and made a short speech,
in which ho said that whllo tho prayer might bo
slangy in toxt it was no less n prayer, nnd tbo
lnngungo was that of an Ignorant negro woman
wrought to it stnto of ocstaoy and religious fer
vor. Each morabcr or tho nudienco was re
quested to express his or her opinion ns to tho
retention of tho prayer by easting n ballot "nyo"
or "no" ns tlwy wont out. Of tho 1,600 in tho
nudienco 1,001 ballots woro cast, twonty-tour
only boing In favor or striking out tho prayer; so
it has been retained. Manager Hill Is nothing If
not original.
Tho old-comedy season nt Daly's Theatre, Now
York, will bo introduced this wlntor by n pro
duction of Mr. Daly's speclnl vorsion of Sheri

Miss Lavinia Shannon, who is supporting
Thomas Kcone, Is receiving an ovation wherover
sho appears in tho West. Her Impersonations of
her parts nro characterized by tho Western jour
nuls ns showing a thorough appreciation of tho
drama tic demands. A Tacomn paper in speak
ing of her Oj7ieIfa says: "As Ophelia MissShnn
non surprised nnd delighted oven her most ardent
admirers. Iu tho sceno where sho shows too
plainly thnt nor reason hns been dethroned her
simulation of Insanity, and particularly her
maniacal laugh, were remarkably good." Miss
Shannon evidently hns a brilliant future as a hls
trlonlo star.
First impressions nro generally thought tho
best, but this does not seem to apply in Steolo
Mnoknyo's caso with his plays. Tho famous
piny, "Hazel Klrke," wns first produced under
tho tltlo of "Tho Iron Will." His recent play,
"Paul Kauvnr," first saw tho light iu Buffalo as
"Anarchy." "Monoy Mad," his latest, was origi
nally known by tho title of "Through tho
Dnrk," nnd nfterwnrd its "Tho Noble Rogue."
Tho chango In each Instance hns resulted In tho
success of tho nowly christened piny. This veri
fies the trlto snying, "A wlso man changes his
mind nnd n fool novcr."
Nym Crinkle, tho well-known writer nnd dra
mntlc critic of tho Now York IForM, said of tho
famous brldgo scene In Steelo Mnoknyo's sensa
tional dramn, "Money Mnd:" "Nothing In nil tho
Imported sensntions of English melodrama enn
compnroln structural nudnclty nnd plctorinl ef
fectiveness with tho brldgo sceno as Mncknyo
presenta It. Tho vory iden of swinging a cnuso
wny fifty feet long noross tho stago for tho pass
age of n steamer nt least sixty feet in longth
will fill tho nvcrngo theatre-goer with wonder
nnd admiration for months."
Thero Is grent activity in tho millinery and
dressmaking circles preceding tho opening of
tho grand opera senson nt tho Nntionnl Tlientro,
commencing to-morrow evening, by tho' Emmn
Juch organization. Our lending milliners re
port the number of ordors reoolvcd for oporn
cloaks, costumes, nnd lints to bo greatly in ex
cess of anything ever known horo before so
early in the senson. This speaks volumes for
tho class of people who intend patronizing our
largest opera company during their Washington
cngngemont.
Edward Elusive Rice has found n now capltnl

Tho undrnped drama has spread from tho pur

say that the wheels of dramatic progress aro

EMMA JUCH.
Not Only a Singer, Mat n Social Star ns
Well.
While the life of a popular prima donna
abounds In most of tho good things of this
world, yet tho limitations plaood about her by
her genius for song aro as oxnctlng ns thoso
thntsutroundaman of lnflnlto affairs ,or tho
President of the United States. It fs only
during the Interregnum that follows tho end of
ono season and precedes tho beginning of tho
next that tho prima donna may call her timo
her own. Invitations to breakfasts, to dinners,
to banquets, to receptions, to drives, to assist
in public ceremonies, flow in upon her ns many
as there aro hours in tho day. Since a modicum
of recreation is an assistance and not a detri
ment to her work, sho must with great tact and
good judgment select from the multitudo or
social courtesies extended such as aro mostcon
gonlal, and which become assistants nnd not
detriments to her work upon the stage. No
singer of the day is so rapidly taking her placo
in tho hearts of tho people as Is Emma Juch.
Whllo unquestionably a beauty of tho most
ideal German cast, yet sho is in all things, on
and off tho stage, modest, sincere, happv iu
disposition, possessed of a mobile face, "that
both on and off tho stage, like a mirror, reflects
its owner's thoughts and feelings. Upon tho
stago Miss Juch feels every note that she sings.
During her recent engagement In Cincinnati
many gracious nnd pleasant attentions were
shown her by the ladies of tho Queon City.
Miss Juch is constantly attended and advised
by her mother; in fact, the two aro inseparable.
"I have sung in Italian, German, and Eng
lish," said Miss Juch recently. "I havo been In
vited to sing in Paris in tho language of tho
country, and may two years hence; that is, after
next season. I sing in three or four languages,
with equal easo and pleasure to myself. It
seems to me that grand operas ahould be given
in the language spoken by the people. In
Italy, of course, the Italian language only is
used, and so it is in Paris, St. Petersburg, and
throughout Germany. It is now an exception
when opera is sung in the Continental musical
centres In a language other than that of the
people, therefore I hold iu America tho Eng
lish language only should be used in perform
ances of grand opera, and that any serious
deviation from this practice is an unpatriotic
fact, that even assumes vulgar aspects. It is
to a great extent wrong to say that the Italian
language is tho best language in which to sing."
