Th. Lnmont Opera Company spread Itself In
"N'ndjy" last week at Albaugh's Grand Opera
IlouEe, not by confining Itself 6trictly to the
libretto of the opcrti, however, but by drawing
extensively upon tlio originality of its comedi
ans anil throwing an unusual amouut of spirit
Into the rendition. The honors of the week
were shared about equally by Miss Hanlcy Iti
the title rOle, Mr. Dc Lance as Faranas, and
Mr. Graham as The argravc. These three
disported themselves in a manner without coun
terpart and lent especial inspiration to the re
mainder of the cast. For the reason that the
music of "Nndjy"' scarcely possesses the catch
ing quality of "Erminie" or "The Black Hus
sar," the monkey business and local gagging
generally indulged in with this opera seem to
be less out of place and therefore more excusa
ble from a popular standpoint. Dut it is n
question if the bounds of license could not
have been drawn with a trifle more conservatism
last week without auy sacrifice of effect. Miss
Lamont as Princess Etclha appeared to much
more advantage than in her role of the preced
ing week, and the same may bo said of Mr.
Wilson as iiW.oc-.y. The chorus acceptably
fulfilled the demands imposed upon it and as
sisted materially the success of the production
by its intelligent work.
"The 11 luck Hussar" at AlliaiiRli'K.
This pretty and popular opera will be given
at Albaugh's this week by the Helen Lamont
Opera Company, sixty-five people, an orchestra
of twenty, and special encagement of the
Marine Baud. Miss Lamont is one of the
greatest favorites that comes to Washington,
and she has a company that have made them
selves popular with all theatre-going people.
Albaugh's Theatre should be packed to the
doors during their one week's engagement in
"The Black Hussar." Already the sale of
seats is larce, and those wishing good
seats should secure them well in advance. The
good ventilation of Albaugh's and the open
spaces about it make It possible to keep the
house remarkably cool even on the warmest
evenings.
NOTES OF THE STAGE.
Manager Frohman, of the Lyceum Theatre,
has gone to Europe. Just before his departure
he stated that the greatest successes nt the
Lyceum had been with American plays. It must
be very galling to that most distinguished man
ager, Mr. A. M. Palmer, to see other managers
coining money with American plays. Mr.
Palmer has, I believe, held that there were no
American plays, that is. none worth producing
except at authors' matinees. Yet Mr. Frohman
has not only produced American plays with
great success, but he has now in hand accepted
plays by Henry Guy Carleton, George H. Jessop,
Clinton Stuart, and Brander Matthews. What
foreign plays made any great success this sea
son? On the other hand, look nt the confirmed
Euccess ot "The Old Homestead," "The County
Fair," "The Henrietta," "The Senator," "Held
by the Enemy," "Money-Mad," "The Shenan
doah," and last, but not least, "Beau Brummel,"
all written by Americans. American Musician.
Mr. Albert Kiddle, manager of Donnelly and
Girard's "Natural Gas," returned to the city
early in the week In time to take charge of the
performance of "Paradise Flats" for the Colum
bia Athletic Club on Friday night. Mr. Kiddle
will remain at Home until after the 4th of July
"Our season with 'Natural Gas' was very success
ful," ho said. "We cleared over twenty-two
thousand dollars, which was doing very well,
considering that so many companies lost money
on the season. We reopen early in August."
Mr. Riddle will go to Whitestone, L. I., to spend
the remainder of his vacation after he leaves
here. The Actors' Amateur Athletic. Associa
tion of America ("the Five A's") has opened a
club-houEe at Whitestone, where the boys can
lay oif bother and play ball and lawn tennis to
their hearts' content.
The Gilbert and Sullivau quarrel promises to
prove the best advertisement those far-seeing-gentlemen
could wish for. The little plot is be
ing worked for all it is worth, and we must con
less it works marvelously well. Gilbert is inter
viewed daily on the subject of Sullivan, and Sul
livan on the subject of Gilbert, pnd so on ad uav
scam, and now where thousands had heard of the
co-authors of "Pinafore" millions take ti lively
interest In their reported estrangement. Xcw

An impecunious English actor, not entirely
devoid of a certain sad sense of humor, had the
following advertisement Inserted in the London
Times a few days ago: "Rkquiht.d-To Hon

No security can bo olfered. Any lady or gentle
men granting this favor will greatly oblige and
at the same time greatly surprise the advertiser.

Those who have been crying that Italian opera
is dead are likely to have to reverse their views.
Highly successful revivals of the hcl canto imvo
taken place In Vienna and Loudon. The change
in Vienna is most remarkable. For many years
Wagner's music has enjoyed a semi-monopoly at
the Hof Oper, but of late the performances have
been highly unprofitable, and n return to the
Italian school was necessary.
The now opera with which Francis Wilson will
open his next season in Now York on August 18
Is called "The Merry Monarch." The book is by
the comedian himself and J. Cheover Goodwin
and the mu6ic by Erralle Chabrler and Woolson
Morse. The scenes of the opern are laid in the
Orient.
Mine. Scalchi, whoso beautiful bird-like con

Mllo. Nuovlna, u new prima donna, has made

In the New York World's contest for the best

THE RUSH TO EUHOPE.
iy
Vast Sums That Aro Spent Anntinlly
Americans "Who Go Abroad.
Charlie Murry in Pittsburg Dispatch.
It is estimated that the average number of per
sons who go abroad at this season of the year
will reach at least one thousand per day. This
means that from the middle of May to the mid
dle ot July upward of sixty thousand Americans
will have departed from their native shores in
quest of pleasure and health on foreign soil.
Do you realize what all this means from a finan
cial point of view? From the poor steerage pas
senger who will blow in a couple of hundred
dollars in a visit to his fatherland to the million
aire and his family whose expenses mean that
much every day of absence, it is a moderate esti
mate to place the average expenditure at ?-."00
each for the trip.
For sixty thousand this means 530,000,000.
For the entire summer's crowd 00,000,000 will
be a more accurate estimate. And this is for
New York alone. All of this money, mind you,
goes into foreign pockets, and should be care
fully set down in figuring the balance of trade
between the United States and foreign govern
ments. There is euough expended on foreign
pleasures every year by Americans to create a
respectable Navy and sea-coast defenses, if spent
at home for that purpose. It would seem worth
the while of American statesmanship to provide
6omc means by which, through an American
merchant marine, a largo portion of this annual
expenditure might be retained at home. It Is a
great pity that some statistics can't be had as to
nearly the exact number of people who leave
the United States every summer for foreign
travel. It would also be interesting to know
just how many people leave our great cities to
bpoud their time in the mountains and at fash
ionable watering-places. So far as New York is
concerned the number is simply marvelous; if
tho empty houses of these people could be col
lected in a single neighborhood, they would form
a vast and 6ilent city of themselves"

SEVERAL CHOICE LOTS
Heiiuties of Albatross Skin.
From Forest and Stream.
The most valuable part of the albatross, how
ever, is Its plumage. Tho neck, breast, and
belly aro snow white, shading delicately into
gray and dusky brown at the sides and back,
and the feathers aro so curled and elastic that
the skin with the plumage on it is an inch or an
Inch and a half thick. No finer material can be
got for muffs, cuffs, collarettes, capes, or tho
trimming or lining of cloaks and robes. It Is
very light, jet exceedingly warm, while for ap
pearance its dovelike smoothucs6 and purity
cannot be excelled. It has the advantage, too,
of being very durable, tho naturul oil of the
bird preserving the skin and feathers for many
years, while tho characteristic musky odor Is
easily overcome by camphor. It is a wonder that
6ome enterprising furrier or modiste does not
set the fashion of wearing albatross plumage
anu senu to Aimpoues or ine urozet6 lor a sea
son's supply. There would be money In it, not
only by its novelty but by Its usefulness. At the
same time I hope It will not be done, because If
once the skin of the albatross acquired a com
mercial value and the iiithless hand of fashion
were laid ou Its smooth, white neck, tho poor
bird would soon bo driven from its secluded
haunts and might even be in danger of extermi
nation. Who In tho prosperous amir.' Tlio ninii
