12 THE SUNDAY HERALD, SUNDAY. APRIL 30, 1S90. AMONG THE THEATRES. EOW THIS: l'WUitO WTLIj in: a:iusbd THIS 1VEKK. Wilson Rtirrott nt the National anil tdglit Opera at AlbnuKli' A I'ino Rendering of Ruck's "Light of Asln"Vromlcd by tlic Choral Society. The Inst engagement of Mr. Wilson Uarrctt anil bis London company in Washington prior to their departure for England will be played at the New National Theatre this week. There is no question about the heartiness of Wilson Barrett's welcome on his return here. As actor, author, and manager he i6 esteemed and appre ciated in this community, and ho is sure to achieve additional popularity durine his present engagement, lie will present one novelty during the week, in a new and original modern society drama by two voung London journalists, Addi son Bright and Jerome K. Jerome, entitled "What Women Will Do." He will also, by general desire, reproduce that beautiful and picturesque dramatic story of the Isle of Man, "Ben-My-Chree." He will, of course, be aided bv that forceful actress and charming woman, Miss Eastlnke, and that excellent comedian and character actor, Mr. George Barrett, who made Eiich a favorable impression here during tho last engagement of Wilson Barrett. ino reper and "Chatterton;" Wednesday, "iho silver King:" Thursday, "What Women Will Do;" Friday, "Clito;" Saturday matinGe, "What "Women Will Do;" Saturday, "Clito." The regular prices will prevail. Dudley Buck's "Light of Asia." The Choral Society will close its seventh sea son with a performance that will surpass in interest and importance anything ever before attempted in music in Washington. The fact that "The Light of Asia," the most important work of one of tho leading American compos ers, is to bo given by the society, with tho as sistance of the entire Boston Symphony Or chestra, has awakened great interest in the city, and now comes tho announcement that tho per- I formance is to be conducted by tho composer, i 3Ir. Dudley Buck is probably better known to the American public in general than any other ( of ur native composers, his church music and songs having brought him nearer to the people I than others who have restricted themselves to the higher forms of music. This cantata is tho j most important of his works and is tho only American composition of the kind that has been honored with a performance in England, having been gh en in Loudon duriug tho season of '80. , The words are compiled from Sir Edwin Ar nold's great poem, and tell the history of Buddha, with a setting forth of his doctrines. ' The music is most interesting, constantly tune ful, and adapted to the different periods of the , life story. The soloists will be Miss Jennie Dutton, soprano; Mr. William H. Reiger, tenor, and Mr. Ericsson F. Bushnell, bass, all of New York. Metzerott has the tickets, which are selling rapidly. Summer Opera at Albaugh's. To-morrow evening the Carleton Compauy will enter upon its second week of light opera with a production of Offenbach's "Brigands," which was successfully given here by the com pauy duriug the regular season. The com pany is fully equal to the requirements of the music. The opera will be handsomely mounted. It is needless to say that the music is light and melodious, and therefore pleasing, and in several instances betrays the clever workman ship of the composer. Miss Alice Carle as FiorcUu will appear in a most picturesque cos tume, which reveals her to the eyes of the pub lic as a woman of handsome stage presence. The broad comic element will be supplied b 3Iessrs. IX. C. Do Mesa and Charles A. Bigelow. There is only one matinGe, that of Saturday. The admission to all parts of the house is twenty-five cents, while reserved seats are placed at fifty and seventy-live cents. " Dootlcs's Baby" at tho Bijou. "Bootles'sBaby," the famous Madison-Square success, will be at Harris's Bijou Theatre next Monday night, to open a week's engagement. The attraction forms one of the biggest of tho present season. The company If. one of rare strength, and the play is one of great beauty. There is no melodrama of the stilted order with which the London stage abounds, no great crises, uothing of the sort. You are won by tho artless prattle of the baby, and by tho great heaited manliness of Booties. Tho vlllian father seems somewhat impossible to Ameri cans. But wc have to bwallow him, as he is, in a measure, the essence of the play. An inter esting feature is the insight the pluy gives into English army life. Some critlc'has said tnat it smacks of Charles Lever. The company pro ducing it is said to be composed of capable la dies and gentlemen. The Thuntrivnl Mechanics' Benefit. At the benefit of the Theatrical Mechanics' Association at the National Theatre Tuesday afternoon the programme will ineludc the third act of "The Burglar;" Wilson Barrett in "Chat ton;" Miss Georgio Metzgar, the favorite con tralto, will sing "Olga," this being her last ap pearance here before her departure for Europe; Mr. W. T. Carleton will give Moiloy's beautiful ballad, "Hose Marie;" Mr. J. K. Murray, bar itone of Carleton's Company, will sing "Let All Obey;" Professor Elml will show his dissolv ing views, and there will bo many other enter taining features. Seats are on sale at the thea tre box office. Mr. George 1. Scott's Testimonial. Mr. George D. Scott, the well-known comic singer, has been tendered a testimonial concert and entertainment at National Eilles' Hall on April 30, by bis appreciative friends and fellow citizens. Sir. Scott has for tho past twenty years given his services gratuitously for almost every charitable object, aud has sung for nearly every church or society in tho city. Those who have been entertained and aided by him have now the opportunity of showing in" a substan tial manner their appreciation of his efforts. There should not be a vacant place in Na tional KilleB' Hall on the evening of tho 30th. Tho prognunmo of the entertainment will bo i given later. A 1'iuiui llccltal by Von Bulow. Dr. Yon Bulow, tho famous pianist, will give a piano rtcital at Albaugh's Opera House on the afternoon of Tuehday, tho 2'Jth. It is many years since Yon Bulow was before heard in this country, but the memory of his admirable play ing is still fresh in tho minds of all who have ever heard him. In the esteem of many com petent musical ciltics, Yon Bulow is without a peer as an interpreter of Beethoven and the other great composers. Seats aro on sale at 3Illler'H book store, Fifteenth street. Kernun'h Theatre. One of tho features of Rose Hill's English Folly and Burlesque Company, which opens for the week at Kernan's to-morrow night, is "Ruby of tho Desert," a seriesof pictorial tableaux that have never been surpassed. The funniest aud richest of burlesques, "Parisian Bevels; or, Cupid's Capers," introduces tho handsome aud gifted Marie Kostelle, Uie most popular bur- tory lor tue wcck is as ionows: .tiuuuuj auu Tuesday, uBen-My-Chree;" Wednesday mati ng, "flip. Cnlnr Serjeant." "A Clerical Error," lesquo queen of tho day. A host of beautiful and shapely girls execute dainty gavottes, clas sical cotillons, and exquisite minuets. Rico and Barton, those masters of wit and fun, add their mite to tho general fund of good humor, and assist the pretty Amazons in their onslaught on mankind. Miml-Rcndinc; anil Sprltualism. Mi. J. Randall Brown, tho mind-reader, will give an exhibition of his remarkable powers at tho National Theatre to-night, in connection with Lillle May Browu, tho sprltualistie mate rializing medium, who will civo somo tests of her powers. A highly interesting and sensa tional programme "is promised. Among tho mind-reading tests which Mr. Browu will give, the most wonderful will be over a wire be tween the theatre and the Capitol Building, Mr. Brown, from tho theatre, reading the num ber of a watch in the hands of a committee at the Capitol. The seances will begin at S o'clock. Globe Thoatro. Leavitt'a Big Specialty Company will bo tho attraction at tho Globe next week. Sparring bouts will also be given at each performance, as well as a femalo minstrel scene and an after piece. NOTES OF Til 10 STAGE. Viola Allen will be n member of the .Tcfrcrson Florence Company next season. Uhca is a great favorite in Cleveland, and tho llorlsts of that city have named a new rose after her. London despatches say that Bernhardt has signed an engagement to make nnother tour of tho world, beginning in this country in Septem ber. It is said that Victor Maurcl, tho famous French baritone, has made an engagement to come to America for threo years, the remuneration being S100.000. Audran is said to have produced a now comic opera entirely worthy of tho composer of "Tho Mascot" und "Olivette." It is called "L'ffiuff Rouge," and scored an immediate success at the Folios Dramatlques in Paris. The local theatre manager in a small town across the Potomac recently wrote Frederick AVnrdc in this wiso: "Wo want 'Virglnlus' here; there are lots of old Virginan3 who would give all they've got to seo a good Southern play." Tho one-hundredth performance of "Tho Son- ator" will tako place at tho New York Star The atre Tuesday evening. The house will bo deco rated with flowers. Photographs of Mr. Crane as the Senator, framed in Japanese silk, will be the souvonirs. Rosina Yokes's laugh sounds like the dropping of gold pieces in a tankard of wine. It is a clever bobolink lnugh, and it is artfully stuck all over her part, like the cloves in a ham. She never laughs out of tune. She very often sings out of tunc. rVim CrinMc. It is said that Honry E. Abbey lost StO.OCOon his engagement of Tamagno, the great Italian tenor, whom he paid $2,000 a night. The draw ing power of Patti and Albani, however, moro than made up the loss to Abbey, whose season on tho whole is believed to have been a big finan cial success. In Madrid when an actor has a benefit his ad mirers send to the theatres little gifts, such as canes, slippers, game, and such trilles, just as if it were a donation party, and the employes hand these gifts around among the audience for in spection, while next day a complete list of them is printed in the papers. Donnelly and G Irard, in that eller ve3eent tarce comedy, "Natural Gas," will be seen at the Now National Theatre for one week, beginning Mon day, April 23. Among tho now features will be Hub Smith's latest song, "Swinging in the Grape vine Swing." The Imitations of nil the distin guished celebrities will, of course, bo retained. A. H. Cunby, manager of the Francis Wilson Opora Company, was married in Baltimore on Mouday last to Jessie Quigloy, of Chicago. Tho couple will sail for Europe May 10. Francis Wilson will join them in London, and the party will make a tour of the Continent. Laura Moore, of Wilson's company, will go with them. Gen. Annenkoff, Governor of Siberia, has or ganized a trouno of barbarian vocalists from Turkestan, Afghanistan, and tho Khanate of Bokhara, and contemplates a tour of concerts in the principal European cities, commencing with St. Petersburg, tho proceeds to bo devoted to tho establishing of schools and hospitals in Central Asia. Henry Irving has been nominated for Parlia ment by u somewhat officious group of admirers. In a letter in which he asserts that he has no desire to sit among tho legislators of his country, he adds; "An actor's work demands a calmer at mosphore than is to be found in the strife of the public needs and personal ambition of such a lofty kind." , ' The reports sent out during the week to the cireet that Lawreneo Barrett had written Edwin Booth that his health had become so bad ho was likely never to appear on the stage again are probably pure fiction. Booth denies that ho has received any fiuoh letter. Mr. A. M. Palmer, of New York, has a letter from Barrett dated Monte Carlo, March SO, in which tho tragedian says ho is in the best of splrita, is regaining ills strength, und will be homo in Juno and ready to tako the field again in October. Manager John W. Albaugh's new theatre in Baltimore will bo constructed out of the present Lyceum Theatre on North Charles street. Mr. Albaugh has purchased an udjoining building, and will combine tho two and turn the property into a modern theatre, securing a largo seating capacity nnd all the facilities of a complete new homo of entertainment. Tho best attractions, including Booth and Barrett, will play there. Mr. Albaugh will give up tho lease or tho Holll-day-street home, which will be run as a low priced theatre, it is underotood. Society ia to lurnish another "star" to tho stage, and the aspirant for histrionic famo is no less a personage than tho Baroness Julio do Fon teiiilllut, a Bister or Mrs. W. IC. Vanderbllt. Tho Baroness says that she has been studying for tho stage Binco last fall under Mr, Boueicault's direr ' tlon, and adds that, being driven to tho necessity of supporting hcrsolf, she naturally turns to the profession which lias the greatest charms for her. Somo very curious tules aro told of tho peculiar tastes and hubits ot the Baroness. If these re ports aro not wholly falso sbo and Mrs. Leslie Carter would make a great team. Tho Barone&s has heretofore lived on a S2.000-a-year allowance from tho Vanderbllt family. A little incident not down on the bills oc curred at tho Grand Opera House during tho performance of "Tho Great Metropolis" on Mon day night. During an intermission between tho acts, und while tho orchestra was playing varia tions on "Climbing up the GolUen Stairs," some boys in the gallery whistled un accompaniment which wus so perfect in time and musical in counterpoint and harmony that tho audience at first began to laugh at tho interpolation, but finally broke out Into applauBo.and an encore was demanded. The good-natured leader of tho or chostra acceded to tho demand, and playing tho same theme over again, the boys repeated their whistling accompaniment, N. Y. Mirror. "WOMAN AM) SOCIAIj PROGRESS. The VIcwh or a South Ainorlcan Statesman on an Important Subject. At the recent reception tendered by the Woman's National Press Association to tho delegates to the Pan-American Congress, Sciior Caamano, the Minister from Peru and dclc gato to the Congress, read a thoughtful and in tcrcstinc paper on "Woman's Inllucnco Upon Social Progress." Tho paper attracted much attention, and there has been such a demand for it that by request The Heuald to-day gives it space. Tho paper wis as follows : Fortunately Tor humanity, in these, our times, egoism, the child or prejudice, exercises littlo power in the practice of certain principles, which, if it bo true that they uro axiomatic, have not had just application, nnd to-tiny aro lound holding their ground, in the enjoyment of their rights, their prerogatives, and their pleasures. Linn lately woman was a thing oi luxury, ex posed to the public gn.e. She was kept beautiful and well arrayed, but protected from social con I tact; every consideration and tne aiicetion in spired by her delicacy and grace awaited her; she was cared ror nnd Mattered, but she was ig nored as much as possible and underrated, or at least given only in small doses that education the bread of tho soul which she anxiously de sired, but enjoyed by rule. To-dnyl What a horizon sbo has before her 1 Thcro are no longer barriers to her perfection. We, who have jeal ously guarded the treasury of her endowments, have comprehended that wo aro tho greater and nobler the more wo ennoble nnd exalt the being who embodies all our aspirations and forms our complement; and utilizing tho abundanco of virtue and intelligence which surround her, wo have interrupted her in her dream, in order to placo her nt the height which belongs to her: and, educating her llrst, wo have Introduced her to society, permitting her to wander freely nnd alone nmid tho vicissitudes of lire, in order that, by her own exertions nnd wlthoutothor restraint than her decorum, she may present hcrseir as she docs to-day. free from prejudices, acquainted with the world, knowing how to distinguish tho true and tho false, mistress of hcrseir, tho archi tect of her own fortunes, unmindful of calami ties, Independent, joyous, proud. Butthia is notnll; the woman or to-day, with the consciousness or her racultie3 aud her worth, is no longer restricted to tho tasks and limits natural to her sex; her lively imagination, her moral energy and the applause which, now satisfied, wo gladly give her In her career of progress, but accelerate tho car which conducts nor from acquisition to acquisition, and from victory to victory, and already she contends with us for place, which we Dolitclv rcllnauish. and shfi Drives us nn ex ample, and at times, indeed many times, sbo cor rects and teaches us. In tho bold scope of her accomplishments she embraces everything; in ventions, tine arts, poetry, literature, manufac turing Industry, scientific professions, nnd oven tho press arc included in the vast field of her am bition. Under tho direction or woman tho public prcs3 is moderate, llko her sex, and like her sex dis creet; she espouses with enthusiasm every worthy cause and recoils from bitter discussions and hurtful opinions; delicate of temperament, she ever shuns anything which may wound the susceptibilities; recognizing by intuition indeli cate topics, in political emergencies alio avoida them as a bed of thorns, and believing that in this field only deceptions abound, she does not waste her energy in derending the principles or any one party, but passes between tuo contend ing files, waving the banner of conciliation; and when tho leaders of both parties, becoming irri tated and inflamed, excite and foment discord, woman nnd her pon clamor for peace, that sweet and Christian sentiment which always occupies the most prominent placo in her heart and mind. Honor and tho tamily find in that press a for midable bulwark; woman, by her very being, is a defender of both; her exquisite sensibility aud the fear that that crystal, which she religiously pre serves as sacred, may be broken or even sullied in the eyes of tho world, prompts her to defend the rights of others in order to secure her own; she confronts calumny, battles with it, nnd conquers it, in order that we may learn to watch over reputations that aro dear to us and to defend and hallow the home, the secret refuge of tranquillity and of social welfare. In these cases -woman wields arms whoso edges aro irresistible; she risi erect, steadfast and hnughty; and it Is then and only tuen tnat sue develops a win power wnieii is beyond our reckoning ; for this sex, which is everywhere called weak, is only so with regard to physical force ; and when she espouses a cause, which is always noble, she displays a bewilder ing activity, and is strong and steadfast, never wavering, not even to sacrifice herself, which she does, when necessary, calm, erect, invin cible. The press offers a school which has its own characteristics; academical dissertations nnd purely doctrinal writings aro far from its scope and aim: from its scope, because being necessa rily contlned within narrow limits, such writings monopolize the timo and space destined to ques tions of immediate interest; from its aim, be cause since its mission is to please the public, it deprives them of the desire of reviewing tho dally occurrences which, in general, constitute its principal charm. In this respect the press, conducted by woman, shines with brilliancy; di rected by those who hold in their hands the chords of tho human heart with which they play at will, it embraces all that in necessary to Hat ter their inclinations; it Is varied and elegant; like the hummiinr-bird, it extracts tho honey which tho llowers hold in their cup to lavish it without reserve; and transmitting to tho reader its many Impressions, it keeps the curiosity al ways alert, diverts the mind, often fatigued by trouble or by dlssust. and Instructs bv delight ing, without tiring or leaving disagreeable im pressions. The press is the thermometer of civilization. Who escapes its disquisitions? Who is not sub ject to its scalpel? Avhodoesnotrespectlt? Who does not relish Its favorable opinions? Who does not fear its reprehension ? Tnc crucinio ot men and or public aliairs, the bearer of good and or bad news, tho prompter or rerorms. now applauding, now censuring, it re solves the most difficult problems and auto cratically leads nations, when badly directed, to their destruction; and when well advised, to their aggrandizement. On this account, if it fre quently abuses tho privilege, perverting ideas and poisoning tho best doctrines, wc have in the press directed by woraun a corrective of tho same kind; because, thank God, it is still pre served Tree from corruption, and is a wholesome restraint in tho constant struggle which virtue carries on against ovil passions. These bases established, I ask, docs woman in fluence social progress? Hammcricss Guns. Col. A. G.
