(iovernmrnt Ground Alone Excepted?
Rrporln of Committees?Annual
Election of Officer*.
The annual meeting of the Northeast
"Washington Citizens' Association was held
last evening at Northeast Temple. H street
near 1'Jth street northeast. President E. H.
Tucker occupied the chair and Mr. S. Sow
erbutts was secretary.
Mr. William J. Frizzell. chairman of the
committee on steam railroads, made a re
port, during which he commented on an
article printed in The Star in which the
plans of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad j
Company relative to the elevation of its
tracks and the making of other improve
ments in the District of Columbia were
outlined.
A letter was read from Mr. H. H. Mar
tin. a member of the executive committee,
tendering his resignation because of re
moval from the northeastern section of the j
city. The resignation was accepted with
expressions of regret.
MaJ. J. B. Burke brought to the attention
of the association a bill which he wants to
have passed by Congress, directing that all
real estate in the District of Columbia not
owned by the government of the 1'nited
States or by the government of the District
of Columbia shall be assessed and listed
for taxation and taxed according to its as
sessed value, except so much of the ground
of duly incorporated cemetery associations,
as is dedicated to and used solely for burial
purposes and not held for private income or
profit. The paper, after discussion by Maj.
Burke. Mr. W. J. Frizzell. Dr. E. W. Kir
by . Mr. F.A. Sebring and Mr. S. Sowerbutts, j
was amended by striking out the exemption j
relative to ground owned by cemetery as- j
sociations, and was adopted and referred to
the committee on proposal legislation for
further action.
Mr. Loring Chappell, chairman of the
school committee, reported that pressure of
other duties had prevented him from pre
paring a report for presentation at this
time.
Sanitation Affair*.
Dr. E. W. Kirby. from the committee on
sanitation, read a letter received from
Hi-a'ih Officer Woodward in reply to some
remarks made by the former relative to the
collection of ashes at the last meeting of
the Northeast Citizens' Association; also a
communication from Mr. Warner Stutler, j
superintendent of street cleaning, on the
same subject. The letters were placed on
file.
Major J. Ft. Burke, chairman of the com
mittee on public conveyance, submitted a
report to the effect that the committee has j
had under consideration the published rules j
and instructions governing the employes of I
the several lir.es of street railways in this
city, relative to transfers or one continu
ous ride for one fare, and that being satis
fied that every member of the association i
is informed of all the facts by experience,
the committee believes that there is suffi
cient and Justifiable cause for the com
plaints made by the public thereon, par
ticularly that portion living in the north
eastern section of the city, and the com
mittee recommended that the authorities j
who have charge of the matter be asked to j
strictly enforce the laws on the subject. !
The troubles now declared to exist are 1
caused, the report stated, not because of I
the absence of law, but because of neglect |
of its enforcement by the persons who j
have been intrusted with that duty. The j
committee further recommended that the
association take the action necessary to
bring about full compliance with the stat
utes and reTerence for the same.
The report was adopted.
Election of Officer*.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted in the re-election of Mr. E. H.
Tucker as president; Mr. J. B. Burke, vice
president; S. Sowerbutts, secretary, and
John K. Colvin, financial secretary
There was a long discussion as to whether
Mr. A. H. F. Holsten, the treasurer, ought
to be re-elected, as he has been out of
the country for a considerable time, and
the date of his return is uncertain, but it
was finally settled by making him the
unanimous choice of the organization for
another year. The financial secretary was i
requested to perform the duties of treas
urer until the latter gets ready to reas- j
sume his duties.
Messrs. William J. Frizzell, Loring Chap
pell and E. W. Kirby were re-elected mem
bers of the executive committee, and
Messrs. F. A. Sebring and I,. D. Walters
were chosen to succeed Messrs. H. H. Mar
tin and N. L. King, who were unable to
serve longer In that capacity.
The chairman stated that the standing
committees for the ensuing year would be
announced at the next meeting of the asso
I ciation.
AMUSEMENTS.
NEW NATIONAL THEATER.?It is a
great relief to sit a performance through
without a doubt as to its merits or enjoya
bility; without a single suspicion that the
i Intelligence instead of being moved to hon
i est admiration is merely being fuddled by
a monster display of scenic magnificence.
The privilege of frank, unquestioning ap
proval is one which the Empire Theater
Stock Company always affords. When on
tour it regularly brings a play worth see
ing and a company which would redeem
even an inferior work.
It is needless to go into-details about the
excellence of the Empire Theater Stock
Company as an organization. Such an en
terprise would be merely to pile the Ossa of
adulation upon the Pelion of compliment.
The only fact to be regretted in connection
with its visits is that more people do not
avail themselves of the unique opportunity
it provides to see clean, evenly balanced
acting and an aggregation of actors whose
work shows brains, individuality and rare
I discipline. Large as the audience was last
; night, it was not large enough to consti
tute a fitting recognition of past benefits.
The play was "Brother Officers," t?. com
edy in three acts by Leo Trever. It is by
no means the best of the offerings which
the Empire Theater has developed; yet it
is a good play. On the program appears
as a text upon which the dramatist
ba.'es his work, the line from Tenny
son "Here and there a cotter's babe
is royal born by right divine." The
theme is handled by the author with skill,
j The story has to do with "Lieutenant John
Hinds," a man whose physical bravery and
mental superiority bring him rapidly up the
line of promotion into the society of the
most cherished types of British aristocracy.
The first act is devoted chiefly to his ef
forts to become aecilmated to this at
mosphere of unwonted elegance and to
adapt himself to the little conventionalities
which seem so trifling when observed and
which assume such awe-inspiring impor
tance when they are transgressed by an
intruder. It is in this act that William Fa
versham does his best work of the evening.
Indeed, the play is chiefly meritorious be
cause of the facilities with which it pro
vides Mr. Faversham and the other play
ers for a display of their powerful yet dis
creetly managed gifts. It is difficult to
think of an actor who in playing such a
part as "John Hinds" would not be tempted
to overdo the comedy. Any but an artist
by instinct would Invest the character with
such coarseness as to obliterate the native
nobility. Mr. Faversham is one of the
actors who carry the center of the stage
with him. "Whatever he does is interesting,
and the libelous attempts to nickname him
"Favvy" and exhibit him as a matinee hero
can never succeed in overshadowing the
earnest Integrity of ills art. That he is a
drawing room hero cannot be denied, but
as a drawing room hero he is without flaw.
The play changes Its gait rather abruptly
after the first act, which sets the pace bo
swiftly that reasonable complaint cannot
be offered if there is not an Impression of
cumulative strength ar the performance
progresses. It portrays the evening dress
side of military life in England. To be sure
there U some of the strut and Jingle of the
army in the piece, but it is overbalanced
by the love Interest woven throughout the
series of situations, which, not altogether
new and not always devised with striking
brilliancy, serve to hold the Interest and
enable the members of the company to dis
play their admirable delineations of the
character types. There is no effort to se
cure a happy ending. A brave fellow saves
the life of a weak-natured "heart-Interest
hero," saves him from dishonor, and finally
breaks his own heart by handing over to
him the woman whom they both love. The
play succeeds In being consistent and prob
able, although sentimentally unsatisfying.
It has the quality of fidelity to truth which
the artistic instinct must approve even
though the emotions rise In ljilld protest.
Margaret Anglln Is an actresr with whom
Washington would like to become better
acquainted. Her reputation has preceded
her and her work last night arouses pre?
ent admiration and interest in her future.
Guy Standing looked the part of the man
who deserves nothing but gets everything
handsomely enough, and acted It with
ability. Joseph Wheelock, was, as he al
ways is, dellghtfyj in one of those roles
where every look and gesture count for so
much. Throughout the cast of characters
there is little to complain of and much to
enjoy. "Brother Officers," as presented
last night, proved to be one of the most de
lightful examples of what the American
j stage can produce in the way of refined
I drama that has been seen since "Lord and
Lady Algy" made the bill of the week a
j season ago.
I COLUMBIA THEATER.?A large audi
ence braved the threatening weather last
night to test the program of "The Rose of
Persia," which, by any other name, would
smell as sweet. It is a comic opera, for
Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote the music and R.
D'Oyly Carte produced it originally In Lon
don. whence this company comes. The book
is by Basil Hood, who has followed GI1
btrtan traditions in a way almost academic,
but there is in the heart of the auditor a
vague longing for the touch of a vanished
hand. The production is staged in a lav
ish manner, but the Persian dress Is more
imposing than picturesque, and does not
U-nd itself to light and airy effects. Sev
eral of the stage pictures, in their mock
solemnity, with characters turban-crowned
and scimitared. suggested a ceremony of
initiation into the Mystic Shrine. The la
dies* of the chorus were costumed in a man
ner to delight the soul of Anthony Com
siock: veil swathed and altogether shape
less. They are ethnologically and morally
correct. To say that "The Rose of Persia"
is reminiscent is both trite and true. The
music is in Sir Arthur Sullivan's character
istic vein and some of the numbers are
charming. "I Care Not if the Cup 1 Hold,"
Neath My Lattice" and the finale of the
first act ore gems. "Joy and Sorrow."
which was heartily encored, is full of life
and color, but Is almost identical, both in
theme and music, with ;he "Wedding Day"
madrigal in the "Mikado." The theme of
the opera is simple and the climax is long
j delayed. It is approached in the true En
glish spirit: one sees it in Punch, where a
small chapter of explanation precedes a
few words of joke. It has to do with one
Hassan, who has incurred the displeasure
of the sultan, and is threatened with de
capitation. a punishment, by the way,
j v? hich during the evening threatens nearly
! ?very member of the cast. He is promised
his life so long as he can tell the sultan a
tale that is interesting Snd has a happy
ending. He then tells the story of his life.
The idea is clever. The possibilities for hu
morous situations and crisp action are nu
merous. but they are not employed to the
j best possible advantage. John Le Hay as
Mad Hassan is the typical English come
dian. His work is serious and worthy of
study. He found much favor with the au
dience and displayed a capital singing
voice. Sidney Bracey as "Jussuf," a pro
fessional story teller, sustains the leading
tenor role, but love-making in the Persian
costume is not fortunate; a young man is
handicapped In the matter of style when he
is dressed in a long-tailed khaki blouse, an
Astrachan cap and a green satin surcingle.
Mr Bracey has a pleasing voice and sings
with good effect, but he is rather light at
times. (has. Angeles* "Sultan" looks like
"Buffalo Bill," and he acts it about as Col.
( ody might. The resemblance was the
subject of some comic sallies that were
much enjoyed by the audience. Mrs. Ruth
Vincent as the Sultana Is a typical English
blonde, with the dignity of an Elaine. Amy
Martin as "Dancing Sunbeam" Is lighter in
voice than in person, but is in the main
satisfactory. The choruses are well drilled,
but there is a lack of color effects and
general brightness on which a comic opera
so much depends. The lack of fleshings is
also a serious omission. It is questionable
whether it would not be well to sacrifice
ethnological accuracy and substitute con
ventional comic opera toggerv for the silk
en. baggy Persian "Thought." On the
whole "The Rose of Persia" is as like the
familiar Gilbert and Sullivan operas of the
golden past as a ready-made suit resembles
a tailored achievement. It is an interesting
production and carefully presented.
LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE.
?Tony Sullivan in "Mrs. B. O'Shapghnessy
(wash lady)" entertained a good house last
night. His support was good, and there
was nothing in the farce comedy that sug
gested the vulgar. Mrs. O'Shaughnessv
suddenly rose fnttn the ups and downs of
the wash tub by means of a $.>),<KX> inheri
tance and left her alley house for swell r.th
avenue apartments to please her daughters, I
who were shocked at the mother carrying !
with her the family washboard that had
been so long In use. Severe was the dis- '
appointment to the daughters when they
| failed to receive members of the four hun
dred and have invitations sent them to so
ciety events. Their mother, on the other
hand, was delighted and satisfied with in
vitations to the Mattress Makers' ball and
; the "garbage gentlemen's" excursion.
Thomas J. Ryan, as Michael Casey, wooed
and won Widow O'Shaughnessv in an amus
ing fashion, and at a time when the for
tune of ?>0,<X)0 was supposed to have been
lost he bobbed up with a winning ticket
for and saved the 5th avenue home.
Alice McAvoy as Daffodlll Ann O'Shaugh
nes.sy and Dick McAvoy as Jimmy Dugan,
the original Hogan alley kids, were largely
In evidence throughout the play. Dick
i McAvoy also appeared as Philander, the
I colored house servant. Carrie Gebst and
j Mabelle Harris, "daughters of the wash
; lady," performed their parts well. James
E. McDuff gave a number of imitations
I which pleased, while several songs were
rendered by Edward M. Ellis.
CHASES NEW GRAND.?Twenty-five
people, a score of dogs and a half-dozen
chattering monkeys make up the varied
amusement offered in this week's bill at
Chase's New Grand. The standard set in
the Grand bookings has been of such a
high order this season that the patrons of
the house do not wait to hear the com
ments of their neighbors upon the charac
ter of the entertainment each week. The
present week there was double assurance
of a good bill from the fact that the book
ing is Fulgora's combination of star vaude
villes. an organization well known all over
the circuit. While there is nothing start
ling or entirely new In the ten acts offered
all have more or less merit and at least
one-half makes good entertainment. Be
ginning with a pair of unusually clever bi
cycle riders the program leads through some
clear-cut, sweet-toned whistling by Miss
Edna Collins, a "rip-roaring one-act farce."
as they say on the bill, a bit of imported
dancing, a rather remarkable exchange of
human beings, some comical black-art mu
sic, a comic sketch with laughable eccen
tricity in acrobatics, a character study in a
one-act playlet, an ambitious banjo perform
ance in duet, and concludes with a dog
and monkey circus, the Inevitable animal
act. Separating the wheat from the chaff
In this wide-ranged assortment, the work
of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sldman probably
stands out pre-eminent. Mr. Sidman is one
of the best country characters at present
in vaudeville. His sketch for the first three
days of this week is "Back Home." The
sketch means nothing and might go by an
other name. It is named, however, merely
for the purpose of taking Mr. Sidman's act
from the monologue class, and to still give
him an excuse for being on the stage.
This Is all he needs. He entertains his au
dience with convulsing conversation and
recites In his dry, laughable way some of
the wonderful experiences encountered by
him as a countryman on his first trip to the
metropoliB. "Back Home" also gives Mr.
Sidmar. an opportunity for playing on the
piano. "Just Tell Them That You Saw Me"
?in a night shirt. Mrs. Sidman contributes
a pleasing presence and personality and
makes a good listener to her husband's hu
mor-provoking talk. The playing of Polk
and Collins on the banjo deserves especial
mention. Their work was out of and far
above the general run of even the cleverest
manipulators of the attractive musical in
strument. The Four Huntings In acrobatic
performances and comedy contribute
twenty minutes of exceptionally hilarious
work. The dancing of James and Lucy Al
l'son, who are said to be direct from the
I*alace Theater, London, was of a high or
der and is quite novel. Hay man and Hay
man do a mysterious exchange, which is
termed a theosophlcal problem, "Substitu
tion." The other acts fill in nicely. Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday Mr. and Mrs.
Sidman will play "A Bit of Real Life."
H ASHlM'S ACADEMY OF MUSIC.-An
other excellent bill was presented at Mr.
Hashlm's cozy home of vaudeville last night.
The program was long and. In the main,
thoroughly enjoyable. Judging from the ap
plause given by the audience. It Is true
that Dorothy Morton, the chief promised
attraction of the week, failed to appear, but
there were enough others to make the even
ing pass pleasantly. Miss Morton Is ex
pected to appear today or tomorrow. The
attendance was large and was liberal In Its
manifestations of approval. The hit of the
evening was made by the Deave3 with their
manniKlns. Years ago 8ucli an entertain
ment was not uncommon, but in recent
times It has been quite ?r?. On the &tag?
was a mimic theater, comprising stage,
footlights and boxes holding spectators.
On the mimic stag* miniature acton per
Jormed their parts in a clever little scene
that provoked repeated applause. Ellta
Proctor Otis presented an entertaining act
of unusual merit, In which her well-known
hletrionlc talents are dlaplayed. It was a
monologue, representing the beginning,
progress and result of a summer romance.
Bettlna Gerard was given a warm welcome
and strengthened her hold upon the public
In the songs she sang. Bartelmee gave an
excellent exhibition of Juggling and balanc
ing articles on his feet Trask and Gladden
appeared In a turn of eongs and dances.
The Corinthian Four sang of the soldier
boys and Illustrated their melodies with
pictures of military eoenee. Ward arid Cur
ran appeared In a eketch called "A Smart
Set, or Society at Home." in WhJcth they
personated Josh Ladybug. a Casino chorus
girl, Sal Ladybug and Charley, a friend,
and provoked considerable merriment. Joe
Flynn presented a monologue full of Irish
wit and George Fuller Golden related some
anecdotes about his friend Casey which
were received with approval. Burto-Low
ande and Wilson appeared in wnat they
called a one-ring circus, including equee
trian and athletic feats.
KERNAN'S LYCEUM.?Manager Keman
has Bobby Manchester's Cracker Jacks
Burlesque Company a? an attraction at the
L>ceum Theatei this week, and the first
performances yesterday were witnessed by
large audiences. The Cracker Jacks are a
big improvement over the attraction pre
sented last fall under the same name. The
opening piece, "On the Fall River Line."
brought out the full strength of the com
pany in songa, dances and marches. Wee
ton and Allen opened the olio with an orig
inal farce called "The Rent Collector." Bell
Wilton, in descriptive songs, was pleasing.
The dissolving views of Prof. Mais were
well put on and loudly applauded. The
tramp baHadist and comedian, Georg? Alex
ander, made his usual hit. The humorisitles
of the McDonald Brothers was on the usual
lines, but the fun was faat and gingery
and scored well with the audience. The
Mayo Sisters followed with a taking sing
ing turn, the act being well dressed and
pleasing to look at. Richard Anderson and
Ray Held closed the olio with a high class
act. the travesty work of both being of a
high order, while the costuming was meri
torious. The closing burlesque. "The Com
mercial Drummers," was entertaining.
NEW BIJOU.?^Ed. Rush's latest organi
zation, "The Victoria Burlesquers," Is the
attraction at the New Bijou this week, and
the show can be commended from start to
finish for its pretty girls, handsome cos
tumes, elaborate scenery and funny come
dians. The opening burlesque, "The Vic
torias' Reception," is short, but filled with
toking songs and went well. The olio is a
strong one, something unusual in burlesque
shows. Aggie Behler was the first number,
and in a pretty costume and taking songs
was a great success. Miss Behler has a
boy assistant In the gallery with a voice
of unusual sweetness, and the turn scored
heavily in consequence. Reid and Gilbert
sang songs and danced their way into favor.
St. Clair and Celeste, a clever pair of
dancers, strengthened their act with many
rich costumes and were well received. Cur
tis and Sidman, the Dutchman and the He
brew, got off a sidewalk conversation act
that was clever, many new Jokes being in
troduced. Morrell and Evans, a pair of
singers from California, were the hit of
the olio, as they both have voices of un
usual quality and sweetness. Welland. the
ciown juggler, closed the olio with a clever
turn. The closing burlesque, "A Queen of
Bohemia," Is quite a pretentious affair, a
majority of the dlak>gue being culled from
Weber and Field's "Whlrl-a-gig." The piece
went with a dash and humor that kept
the audience continually laughing, the com
edy work of Allan thirtl*. Sam Sidman and
