A writ of error asked for was refused and O'Brien will have to Herve his term of two months in jail and pay his fln? of 9250. One of the main witnesses for the prosecution In the original ease was W.

Gadski Recital. r ;> Wagner had a day In Washington terday afternoon at the National Theater/ when two great exponents of'tois muylc presented a purely Wagnerian program? Gustav Mahler, with the Philharmonic Orchestra of New York, and Mtne. Jo* hanna Gad ski. Opening with the over ture of "The Flying Dutchman,'' with its: marvelous orchestration; passing to the prelude to "Lohengrin," with its wealth of expressive shading and beauty, until the great volume of its power broke forth in the overture from "Tannhauser." the orchestra fairly covered itself with Wagnerian glory and drew from a capac ity audience, in which many young wom en of the schools of Washington were represented, applause commensurate WHh its efforts. Later, with a beautiful inter pretation of the "Siegfried Idyl.' the prelude and finale to "Tristan und Isolde ami the prelude to "Die Meistersinger, the orchestra move deeply won its way into the favor of lovers of the great German composer's music. As an or chestral recital the concert was an un qualified success and a living tribute to the splendid work of its conductor. Mme. Gadski. the soloist, sang Eli/-a beth's aria from "Tannhauser'' and Elsa??| dream from "Lohengrin" to the accom paniment of the orchestra, and the su-^ perb "Liebestod" of "Tristan und Isolde The applause that followed each selection drew the Mnger back to the stage time and again in acknowledgment. Mme. Gadskl's voice is clear and powerful. Her singing throughout seemed unimpassion ed. even in the "Liebestod." At all times it was without efTort and unembellished. Her composure was impressive and seem ed reflected in the clear, accurate man ner in which her voice rose and fell as the sentiment seemed to call for it. 1 "The Commuters." James Forbes' newest comedy, 'The Commuters," heralded as a worthy suc cessor to his "The Chorus I>ady" and "The Traveling Salesman." wilf be pre sented at the National Theater the week of Monday, January 30. coming direct from six months' run at The Criterion Theater. New York. In his two previous dramatic efforts Mr. Forbes has firmly established himself as a clever delinea tor of cotemporaneous types. In his first play. "The Chorus Lady," Mr. Forbes took up the subject of the chorus girls In a most refreshing manner. This was followed bjF a four-act treatise on the native "drummer," and in his latest work the author has sought out "the thousands of men and women who ride to and from the city on monthly tickets and has laid the scenes of his play in the house of what is commonly referred to as a "suburbanite." The original cast, in cluding Taylor Holmes, will be seen here. "TheCub." A Kentucky mountaineers' feud that ex tended over eighteen years and cost twen ty-one lives is the basis - of the satirical farce, "The Cub." in which Douglas Fair banks. starring in the title role, comes to the Belasco Theater next week. A seem ingly serious subject, the feud and its accompanying melodramatjcs have served as the basis of a successful com edy by Thompson Buchanan. The youthful, irrepressible, college-bred "cub" reporter, who can see only the humor of the situation, is played by Mr. Douglas Fairbanks. The climax of * satire is brought about when the feud finally is ended by the payment of fl.37 by one faction to the other. George Evans* Minstrels. George Erans' Honey Boy Minstrels come to the Columbia next week. The finst part with iburnt cork comedians and silver-throated singers will be there in all its 1911 glory. It is the same old time semi-circle of blackened, shining faces, even if they do sit under "The Crimson Trellis" picture. A special fea ture for this season Is the engagement of James J. Corbett as interlocutor. He will tell his story of the Jeffries-Johnson contest of last July. Mr."Corbett gives an expert's reasoning for Jeffries' defeat and explains many things which hwve never been published. "As the Sun Went Down." During the week of January 30, with the usual Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday matinees at the Academy of Music, Ar thur C. Alston's company will be seen in "As the Sun Went Down," a new western play. It is a comedy drama, the story con taining love, pathos and humor skillfully blended. The scenes are laid In the great west. The company is headed by Estha Wil liams, who is well known here for her work as "Parepa" the octoroon, in "At the Old Cross Roads," and In other plays which Manager Alston has formerly sent here. "The Careless Sophomore." Chase's next week will offer Harry Tighe and his collegians in this latest var sity comedy, "The Careless Sophomore," by Ralph W.

Bamum, Jr." Nim ble and nonsensical Pat Rooney and win some Marion Bent will be welcomed in* their recent musical hit^ "At the News stand." The famous Spanish Dollar troupe of extraordinary acrobats will ex hibit their thrilling accomplishmentst ac companied by ludicrous clowning. Butler Haviland and Alice Thornton have a wholesome comedy trifle, "A Question of Policy." Van Hoven is an eccentric illu sionist. "The Sergeant," a pictorial army story, will be shown by the daylight mo tion pictures. N. T. Symphony Orchestra. Walter Daxnrosch, directing the New York Symphony Orchestra, will present at the New National Theater Sunday evening a program that, in addition to having a liberal supply of Wagnerian numbers, will provide favorite selections from such composers as Goldmark, Gluck and Liszt.
