"An American Citizen" is the play at the Columbia this week. The opening last night was auspicious. The audience laughed at the comedy and applauded the sentimental scenes with a readiness calculated to in spire the players to their best work. The play is one of those whole-souled comedies that idealize the plain, every-day types of humanity. They do good by compelling us to realize that the chap we see every day working at a desk may possess possibilities of heroism. Mr. Ormonde managed to ad just his somewhat formal personality to the jocularity of the leading male role in a manner which won him hearty recognition. iss Cortelyou fulfilled all the favorable prophecies - suggested by her work last week. Her scope in the present production is wider and the sentiment more in keeping with her earnest personality. Miss Cortel you has a way of speaking, or seeming to speak, straight from the heart, yet she knows her technique, knows it so thorough ly, in fact, that she is competent to hold it in its proper place as an assistance to Ar tistic expression, and not a dominant fac tor. Geoffrey Stein had one of those thank less comedy old men who bring immediate censure on the player's head if they are slighted, but which are accepted as matters of simple routine when well portrayed. Mr. Stein made a fine study of the part. Mr. Ferguson had less to do than in previous performances, but played with unction. Mr. Post, with the modesty which befits that autocrat, the stage manager, impersonated the valet and again demonstrated his abili ty to convey volumes in a single word. Mr. Percy Leech managed to give a very small part picturesque value, and Miss Atwell in vested the character of the lady who loves, but dares not disclose her affection, with grace that was demurely charming. Miss Edith Luckett gave the play a pretty touch of child pathos by her performance of the gamin in the last act. Lafayette Theater. The last week of the Berger Stock Com pany's engagement at the Lafayette Thea ter was opened last night with a perform ance of Robert Louis Stevenson's strange story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," that most vivid and realistic exemplification of man's dual nature. The title role, with its opportunities for display of dramatic weird ness, is one that might try even the versa tile abilities of Mr. John T. Sullivan. From the demonstrative evidences of approval accorded by the audience he must be cred ited with a highly satisfactory perform ance. The swift transition from the benevolent Dr. Jekyll to the fiendish Hyde affords a study in extremes, which, to be adequately interpreted, requires an actor of unusual range. Mr. Sullivan has al ready demonstrated this characteristic. He succeeded in making his Dr. Jekyll the phi lanthrophic 'lovable man, while his Mr. Hyde was properly revolting. William H. Tooker essayed the role of Mr. Utterton, the lawyer. The patrons of the Lafayette have learned to expect satisfactory per formances from this actor, and his work last night was particualrly creditable. Frederic Sullivan portrayed the character of Dr. Lanyon acceptably, and Will H. Conley was sufficiently austere as Poole, the butler. John Daly Murphy, as Police man McSweeney, furnished the only com edy in the piece, and succeeded in stirring the joyous youth in the gallery to boister ous expression. Miss Jane Rivers was ef fective in the part of Alice Leigh. The performance last evening was a ben efit for Corporal George L. Dietz of the District National Guard, who was severely wounded recently at the rifle practice, and a large number of officers and men of that organization were in attendance in uni-. form. Chase's. A very satisfying performance of "Fra Diavolo" was given by the stock company at Chase's last night, a very large au dience, including some of the capital's most distinguished people, being in attendahce. The scenery was ample, the chorus large and well drilled. while the principals were above the average as to acting and singing ability. The familiar airs of long ago came back as new to those who have not heard or seen the troubles of pretty "Zerlina" and "Lorenzo" and the more prominent were repeated again and again in answer to the sincere applause. Dorothy Morton's performance of the role of "Zerlina " was everything that could be reasonably de manded in a season of popular opera. Hu bert Wilke, as "Fra Diavolo," was as good as ever, which is the best possible praise. The two comedians. Frank Wooley and Fred Frear, were unusually funny, all the little points handed down in tradition be ing worked over with good effect, while many little original bits were added and proved laugh-makers. Each comedian has a style of his own and working on these contrasting lines kept the audience in good humor whenever they were on the stage. One little item overlooked by Mr. Wooley and which was commented upon by many in the audience is the fact that dressed as he was in the rags of a beggar, a two carat diamond ring looked out of place on his left hand. The augmented orchestra was handled in fine form last night and the hitches that generally go with a first night's performance were entirely absent. Kernan's Lyceum. The French Folly Burlesque Company pleased two large audiences yesterday. It is opened with a farce and closed with the "High Flyers' Trolley Party." The o11o is up to the average, being headed by Billy Collins in a number of popular songs, which he gave in clever style. If Your Dinner Distresses Take Horsford's Acid Phosphate.

Biddle, the Engineer Commissioner In passing upon a complaint by Thomaw Blagden against the Brightwood Driving Park, recently stated that as the track wa in the light of a convenience to a numbei 9f people in the District for speeding thell horses, and as 16th street, which traverse' the park, was not to be opened at the pres ent time, but that if the police departmen thought the track should be jit off, I could easily be done by the engineer do partment. The matter was refersed t Lieut. John Kenney of the tenth precine for his report. "The club members," says the lieuetnant "have been prompt In aiding the officer of the precinct in maintaining good order and the manager of the grounds, Mr. Thos B. Baldwin, has maintained good orde and has complied with all regulations of thA excise board. It is true that fast drivini has occurred along the 14th street road aA complained of by Mr. Blagden, but the or der of the superintendent of police Station Ing mounted officers along this road during all race times hasi I believe, broken up fas driving and disorderly - conduct along th4 way. The signatures of residents are no required In procuring a license for a clul of this character, and as long as the man agement of the club is not responsible foi conditions outside of their jurisdiction cannot see where I am justified in making a report against them. The complaint 1i against the club rather than the track aM It should be a matter for the excise board.' Major Sylvester has stated to the Com missioners that from time to time the po lice have had a great deal of trouble along the 14th street road extended because 01 fast and reckless driving, and extra polic attention has been given this 'locality With regard to the club Itself he knowi nothing further than told by Lieut. Kenney HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. Judge Kimball Speaks Word in Behab of Pedestria'ns. "Pedestrians have the right of way or street crossings, and drivers of vehicles must give way to them," Judge Kimball ol the Police Court told Philip Weaver, col ored. who was In court this morning on a charge of reckless driving. It developed from the evidence thai Charles Lockhead, who Is in business neaz the corner of 81st and M streets, was cross ing the street near that point the 28d 01 last month, when a surrey in chatge ol Weaver collided with Lockhead, knocking him down and painfully Injuring him. "I hollered at him three times," Weaver explained. "Yes, and then you thought you had the right of way and kept on," the court told him. "The evidence shows that you were clearly at fault, and it will cost you $25.' Tke fine was paid. LAW GOVERNING LICENSES. Inquiry Begarding Fee Required of Master Painters. Howard Markwood and Martin Cleland, a committee representing the Master House Painters and Decorators' Association, have written to the Commissioners asking for Information relative to the license foe for master or contracting house painters. "We wish to know," say the writers, "what protection will be given under the present law whereby a master or a con tracting house painter Is compelled to pay a license fee of $25 per annum. We wish to call to your attention that we believe that the assessor's office seems disposed to discriminate as follows: "First, that only a portion of the con tracting house painters and decorators are compelled to comply with this law. "Second, that contractors who have been doing business for many years have re ceived a license for $12.50, or one-half the amount called for by the new law. "We deem this unfair, and appeal to the Commissioners that justice be meted out to all alike. Where a license is imposed there should be some benefit derived; and to our knowledge there is no police regulation to enforce the law. We should like to be in formed what benefit is to be expected. -We will cheerfully furnish any Information de sired by the Commissioners upon the sub ject." The matter will be referred to the as sessor for report. PERMIT TO ENTER DISTRICT. Request of Ancient and Honorable Ar tillery of Boston and London. Adjt. Gen. Samuel Dalton of the common wealth Zf Massachusetts has written to the Commissioners requesting permission for the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Com pany of Massachusetts, Capt. Sidney M.

Persons who depend entirely upon the local laundries to have their soiled linen, etc., laundered will be pleased to know that a reduction has been made In the price charged for such work. The new rates went Into effect yesterday In all laundry establishments which are allied with the local laundrymen's asso6iation. During the recent anthracite coal strike in Pennsylvania the prices on laundry work were Increased about 25 per cent, It being explained at the time that the- Increased cost of coal made such action necessary. About the same time several new laundries made their advent into the field and posted in bold letters, "Not in the trust" and "Laundry work done at the regular price," etc. Whether or not these signs have de creased the profits 'of the establishments of the association Is not known. In conversation with a Star reporter to day a member of the 48sociation stated that since coal has dropped to a nominal figure the members had decided to reduce the prices for laundry work to the rate that prevailed before the .strike. That the Independent establishments In tend to continue the fight against the as sociation establishments is evident from the fact that they have cut their prices lower than ever.

If such a commission be appointed It will be eminently proper, it is believed, for a representative drug clerk, or drug clerks, to serve on it.
