"A Parlor Match" flashed at regular intervals
last week ut tho National Theatre before largo
audiences. Evans and Hoey havo always been
favorites hero with the fun-loving people, and
they inauago each year to iutroduco sufficient
novelty into their performanco to give a degree
of freshness to tho skit which they uso as a
ploy. In reality there is nothing to the pieco
moro than u framework around which to drape
a list of specialties varying in quality accord
ing to the abilities of the several artists com
prising tho company. Mr. Evans as I. McCorkcr
Is very funny in a way. His make-up and
mannerisms are exaggcratlugly appropriate to
the cheeky book agent ho impersonates, and ho
Btlll wears that frozen smilo which has become
u part of tho play. Of Old IIuss Mr. llocy has
created a. distinctive character part and ono
that never fails to catch the public. His topical
song, "They're After Mc," commanded encore
after encoro last week. As Innocent Kidd Miss
Clara Thropp was very good, tho most meri
torious part of her work being her beautiful
dancing in the second act. Thero has been
nothing seen hero In tho way of a Spanish
dance to equal it. Miss Florcuce Myatfc as
Lucille did some rather good singing and tho
other members of tho cast wero fairly good.
The Levey sisters, who wero so largely adver
tised, did nothing to warrant special commen
dation. It is evident that they travel solely on
their shapes.
k "h ic
Milliickcr is either egregiously underrating
the tastes of tho American public of late or he
is woefully waning In genius or judgment, for
whatever there may be of merit in his latest at
tempt at comic opera it is so thoroughly mixed
up with what is uninteresting and tiresome as
to 6tamp the production as decidedly mediocre.
The public is quick to discriminate between tho
really meritorious and the poor, and for this
reason it was that even tho excellent company
which Mr. Arousou sent over to do "Poor
Jonathan" at Albaugh's Grand Opera House
last week failed to draw a crowded house on
any evening excepting Christmas. Tho fault
lies primarily with tho story of the opera and
incidentally with the action necessary to carry
it out. Secondarily, tho music, with the ex
ception of two or three numbers, is a misfit and
might bo used with equal appropriateness to
carry out an entirely different idea. It Is not
intended by this to imply that the airs are not
protty, for thero arc some which are very sweet
if not "catchy," but as a rule their application
to the lines is such as to compel tho auditor to
master the story independently of any
assistance on the pailTvC the music. Miss
Camilla Darville, who sang the rOle of
ITarrict, captured the chief favor of the au
dience. The music of her part is much more
exacting than is usually discovered in comic
opera, and she sang it with ease and finish.
Her voice is one of unusual purity and power,
and she is moreover blessed with a beautiful
face and handsome presence. Miss Louiso Els
sing as iliM Bin was very clever in what little
she had to do. Mr. Fred Solomon as Jonathan
Tripp and Mr. J. II. Ryley as 'Tobias Quickly
made tho best of their respective parts, but Mr.
Ecnry Hallam as Ruhygold was disappointing.
Mr. George Olml is wasted in an unimportant
part. The chorus was characteristic of tho Ca
sino company largo and well selected and
tho scenery was quite effective.
"The Oity Directory" at Albaugli's.
This will bo a laughing week at Albaugh's.
"Tho City Directory," with its frollcsomo anti
dyspeptic characteristics, will havo things pretty
much its own way in tho world of hearty and
harmless fun-making. Russell's Comedians
hold a distinct and cuviablo position in tho
good will of 'Washington theatre-goers by rea
son of tho fact that it Is tho best all-around or
ganization of its kind that has over mado a bid
hero for public favor. Tho most profitable
field in American theatricals at present seems
to bo tho light or farcical comedy sphere of
operation, and of tho several instruments em
ployed in forcing genuino merriment out of tho
average supporters of tho play "Tho City Di
rectory" certainly seems to bo tho most hilari
ous as well as tho most successful. When you
can bo sure of seeing such favorites as Amolia
Glover, tho Irwin sisters, Besblo Cleveland,
Ivato Uart, Maym Kelso, Gertlo Glover, "Wil
liam Collier, Ignacio Martinettl, Buit Ilaverly,
John W. Bhusouo, J. C. Mlron, Alf. Hampton,
and Julius Witmark, you can safely expect a
lively and conspicuously bright performance.
It will bo a carnival weok at Albaugh's, for
nothing can prevent Russoll's Comedians from
duplicating their former success hero. Thero
will be a special inntluGo performance on Now
Year's Day, together with tho regular inutinfies
on Wednesday and Saturday.
Marie Wainrifjlit at tho National.
That charming actress and beautiful woman,
Mario Wainright, will bo tho star this week at
the National Theatro in her production of
"Twelfth Night" and in Tobiu's famous com
edy, "Tho Honeymoon." Tho production of
"Twelfth Night" last season will bo generally
romombcred. No more complete performanco
of a Shakespoareau play has been given in our
day. In selecting this play for her present tour
Miss Mario Wainright has chosen wisely. Tho
character of Viola is ouo of tho most pleasing
and most directly appealing to human sympa
thy of all of Shakespeare's heroines. It is ono
of oxqulsito refinement, triumphing oyer her
masculine garb, of a passion ato tenderness, but
genuinely sweet aud maidenly modest. As
Yiola is ono of tho sweetese of Shakespeare's
women, 60 tho play In which sho Is sot is ouo of
his best aud brightest comedies. "Twelfth
Night" is a bright and joyous comedy, healthy,
unspoiled by caricature, and unpoieoned by
satire or irony. "Tho Honeymoon" has always
been a favorite play with star actresses aud not
less so with audiences. It is full of fun from
opening to close, aud should bo admirably
played by Miss Wainright aud hor splendid
company, which Includes Barton Hill, William
F. Owen, Percy Brooke, Blaucho Walsh, aud
Louiso Muldeuer. Tho week Is thus divided:
Monday, Tuesday, Weducsday, and Thursday
evenings aud Saturday inatluGe, "Twelfth
Night," Friday and Saturday evenings aud
Thursday (New Year's) matiuCo, ,(Tho Honeymoon."
Allies Huntington In' "Paul Jones."
Tho performances at Lincoln Music Hall,
commencing to-morrow evening, will havo a
two-fold interest, introducing a new opera,
Plauquetto's "Paul Jones," to Washing
ton, presenting Miss Agnes Iluntlugton
In tho title role. Miss Huntington is no
stranger here, but as sho returns after n long
absence with tho prestige of an undoubted
London success her reentry naturally gives
rise to pleasaut expectations. In tho mean time
it may bo worth whllo to ontllno tho story of
"Paul Jones," tho motif of which Is a fanciful
episode in tho career of this naval hero. In tho
first act Paul Is an apprentice to a St. Malo Bhip
chaudlcr, liicoquct by name, and as liicoquct has
a pretty niece, Tvonnc. Of course the two are in
love. But Paul has a rival In tho person of
Rufino, nephew of Don Trocadero, whoso suit
liicoquct favors, and tho natural result follows.
Paid is dismissed by his master, with a promise,
however, that If ho returns with a fortune in
thrco years ho shall marry Tivnnc. Hoping to
gain the fortune he, with an old smuggler to
whom he has become attached, volunteers on
board of au American privateer. Thrco years
later the audience finds liicoquct married to
Rufino'1 s sister, Ulalagucna. Tvonnc is being
forced to marry Rufino, wheu, In obedlcnco to
tho laws of comic opera, Paul turns up and
challenges Rufino, who, by a stratagem, makes
wmm
Paid a prisoner and carries him off in Irons to
tho Spanish main. As Paul Jones's squadron
is hammering the coast Trocadero is charmed to
find Paul Jones in his nephew's hand, but Paul
escapes, is mistaken for Bicoquct, aud, aided by
Malagucna and the ladies, succeeds in making
his ship. The Americans attack the Spaniards
and all ends in the most approved fashion.
There is an underplot involving Paul's boat
swain, Bouillabaisse, and his wife, Chopinctlc,
and other characters supply a comedy element.
Tho opera is cast as follows for the star and her
London company: Paul Jones, Miss Hunting
ton; Rufino, Karl Mora; Bicoquel, Eric Thome;
Don Trocadero, Heroe D'Egville; Bouillabaisse,
Hallcn Mostyn; Petit Pierre, Albert James;
Chopinctte, Miss Fanny Wentworth; Bfalaquena,
Miss Millie Marsden, Tvonnc, Miss Marguerite
Van Brexdel. MatlnCes will bo given New
Year's (Thursday) and Saturday. Seats aro ou
sale at Motzerotfc's music store.
"A. Clean Sweep" at the Bijou.
Dan Mason is a prinio favorite iu this city
and his comedy, "A Clean Sweep," has created
roars of merriment wherever seen. It is a hu
morous production in the strict sense of the
word; fun and fun alone Is the object of Its ex
istence. Mr. Mason has the support of an able
corps of performers, and there is an agreeable
abundance of clever specialty work. "A Clean
Sweep" gives Mr. Mason an opportunity to
prove himself a German comedian par excellence.
In fact, Mr. Masou, though not yet looking for
the laurels of a playwright, can certainly claim
credit for tho present farcial corned', which,
under tho title of "A Cleau Sweep," had a suc
cessful run of nearly a half season at the Bos
ton Theatre. Mr. Mason was then in company
with John T. Kelley, tho Irish comedian, but he
decided to dissolve partnership, and la6t even
ing was his first appearance In tho triple role of
star, mannger, and proprietor. Tho company
includes J. B. McAuliff, who, as Nicholas Fix,
stirs up innumerable embarrassing perplexities
with Dan Masou as Julius Winkle, tho good
humored German. It is a whirlwind of fun,
and its coming will no doubt clear tho dust
from tho throats of any one who sees it, even if
ho hasn't laughed for weeks before.
Kernnn's Theatro.
Tho attraction at Keruan'6 Theatre this weok,
boginnlng to-morrow night and includiug grand
holiday matiuCo New Year's, is Williams and
Orr's Meteors, an entirely now company, com
prising noted American and European specialty

can Macs, not only tho funniest and wittiest
comedians in America, but the most expensive
card ever eugaged. Iu addition to these great
features there aro many other acknowledged

and Ouino, Annlo Wllmuth, Musical Latona, Ma

Tho Applclon Quartette.
Coiicenilnjr tho Appleton Quartette, which
will appear iu coucert at Lincoln Music Hall
January 23, tho Boston Herald said: "Their
success has been phenomenal from tho begin
ning of their career as a quartette. Tho voices
blend superbly, and their slngiug possesses
breadth and fineness two essential qualities
that ladles' quartettes often lack." AVashing
tonlans will understand this on learning that
Miss Harrletto Whiting, of this city, is tho con
tralto, kuowlug that any organization with
which sho would bo associated musically must
be of tho finest order of merit. Tho fact is
that these four ladies havo not only been
blessed by nature with exceptional voices, but
thoy havo added thereto all that thorough mu
sical culture and artistic feeling could give.
Two of thorn, at least, aro noted us pianists as
well as slugers, namely: Mrs. Helen M. Young,
tho soprano, aud Miss Eva Mao Clarke. Mrs.
Abby Clark-Ford, tho alto, not only oxcols In
singing ballads, but also as au accompanist.
Thoso" who have heard Miss Whltlug's superb
contralto need not bo told that sho is one of tho
strongest elements of tho organization. At tho
comlug concert Mr. Myron W. Whituoy, tho
famous basso, who is such a favorito hero, will
sing, thus glvlug au agreeable diversity to tho
programme. Tho Columbia Athletic Club,
under.whoso auspices tho concert Is given, uro to
bo congratulated on securing such strong ut
tractlous, and a brilliant audience, as at tholr
previous entertainments, may be expected.
Manager Fislc's Christmas Gifts.
Manager Flsk, of Albaugh's, was tho recip
ient on Chrlstmay Day of three very rich pres
ents from tho employes of tho Grand Opera
House. Tho attaches ou tho front of tho house
presented him with a very handsomo combina
tion lamp aud stand. It is mado of solid brass
In au elaborate design of filigreo work, and
stands six feet high. Tho lamp raises and
lowers automatically, and is ono of tho
finest lamps both in design and finish over
made. It is surmounted by a largo shado of
raw silk, trimmed with heavy silk fringe. Tho
attaches hack of the curtain gave Mr. Flsk a
magnificently hand-carved, oak, revolving desk
chair, upholstered in back and Beat with dark
green leather. Accompanying tho chair was n
very protty waste-paper basket, of varl-colored
wicker. Each gift had fastened to It a beauti
fully engrossed card stating tho donors. Tho
articles were much admired by a largo crowd,
whoicarlug of Mr. FIsk's eood fortune, wished
to sco tho presents, and at thosamo tlmo extond
their congratulations. Every ono praised tho
tasto displayed In the selection of tho articles,
which will prove both useful and ornamental.

sho contemplates retiring from tho stage. Annio
never was notable for a retiring disposition.

Italian publisher who owns tho scoro for tho
American right of production. Tho opera iB in
ono net, but all reports agree that tho young
composer, who is only twenty-six, reveals in it a
genius equal to Verdi's. Beforo Mascagni's suc
cess with this opera ho was living with his wBo
In an obscure Italian town on thirty dollars a
mouth.
Pattl had an engagement to give a series of
operatlo performances and concerts In ItiiBsla
this winter, but it has been broken Tor tho fol
lowing reason: Bccently a popular artist, for
whoso porforraauco many Eoats hod been tnken
in advance, did not fulfill tho engagement, nnd
tho llusslan public was naturally disappointed.
The authorities, therefore, determined thnt for
tho future tho money paid for seats in advance

guarantee, but as the cash did not make its ap
pearance she refused to go to Russia.
