AT THE THEATRES

Co I niu 111 a Lainnew star arrived in the city last even-

Ing and an audience of goodly proportion and good nature welcomed hero Thestar is Lulu Glaser and the reception occurred at the Columbia Theatre wherethe young woman and an excellently bal-

anced company presented Sweet AnnaPage a new comic opera in three acts byLouis Le Lange and Edgar Smith withmusic by W H Niedlinger with greatsuccess Miss Glaser made a great personal hit and deservedly too as shesings well dances better and has thtbest idea of a humorous situation of anywoman starring in opera today The re-ception tendered her last evening washearty and sincere and if the Washing-ton verdict is any criterion Miss Glaserwill long remain with her own threesheets and special printing

The company in support is evenly balanced and exceptionally good AlexanderClark is the chief funmaker and as aneccentric comedian is away above par infact his art Is in inver proportion tohis adipose Fred Frear is also good in anatural characterization while Josie Intropodi makes a small bit worthy of noteArthur Donaldson and Gilbert Clayton arenumbered among the excellent ones andHarold Blake possesses a fine tenor voice

The costumes ot the company are newand some splendid color schemes areshown while the staging and scenery areabout all that could be desired Therewill be two matinees Thursday and Saturday

The Xationul Bcrnlmrdt nnd Coquellu

The National Theatre last night heldone of the most thathas ever assembled within the house towitness the initial performance of

was the original LAiglon of Rostandand the performance was in many respects superior to the version of thedrama seen on the same stage a weekearlier The main points of difference between the two interpretations of the actresses portraying the youthful Duke ofReichstadt are that while Maud Adamslooks the Eaglet Bernhardt can scarcelyconceal the fact that the advantage ofyear is not hers and has to rely uponher magnificent art which more thancompensates for any lack of physicalattributes

The original differs from the Parkertranslation of LAiglon in that it is Insix acts whereas the latter is composed-of Jive The scenery of the Americancompany is PO exact duplicate of theBemhardt production although the ar-rangement of the lights in the presentoffering is better than anything that hasbeen shown to a Washington audience fora long time It there is any disappointingwork in the Bernhardt production it isthe battlefield scene at which isso stage managed as to make the noisestax the actress to her utmost in making

heard by the audienceThe spectators were most enthusiastic

throughout and the expressions of ap-proval were frequent and sincere Coquelin the ablest representative of theschool of French comedy and tagedy-

i ever seen on a local stage gives a su-perb portrayal of Flambeau the oldgrenadier while the Mettemich of DesJardin is admirable in any way it may belooked at The company is large and thevarious minor roles are worthily handledTonight LAiglon will be repeated Itwill also be seen tomorrow afternoon andevening and on Thursday night Sardous

La Tosca will be given On Friday andSaturday nights Cyrano de Bergeracwill be the bill with Coquelin in the namepart and Bernhardt as Roxanne Ca-

mille will be played at the Saturday-I

matinee

Frou JFronLast at the Lafayette

the Stock Company appeared in FrauFrau a play adapted from the French bythe late Augastin Daly and one tiat hasfor a long time occupied a prominent placeIn the repertoire of many famous actresses

Frou Frou is the pet name of Gilberte Brigard a happy impetuous Frenchgirl with a score of lovers She marriesone of them Henri Sartorys to please herfather and sister and is afterward wooedfrom husband and child by the Comte DeValreas a supposed friend toThe latter subsequently kills De Valreasand Gilberte returns to her home to diea brokenhearted woman

Miss Percy Haswell plays the role ofGilberte and proves herself quite equal toIts many demands while Miss Alma Kruger gives a pleasing portrayal of Louisesister to Gilberte Miss Louise Matkintosh is very amusing as the Baroness DeCambri Eugene Ormonde essayed therole of Henri Sartorys with ease and dis-tinction and John T Sullivan is a dash-Ing De Valreas Robert Rogers scored inthe part of the Baron De Cambri andWalter Craven plays Brigard Gilbertsfather John Daly Murphy Frederic Sul-livan and William H Conley are seen toadvantage In small parts The usualmatinees will be given tomorrow and Sat-urday

v u iIvernry lUllMarshall P Wilder is the leading enter-

tainer of the bill Manager Chase has engaged for the second anniversary of hismanagement of the Grand and the littlehumorist offers a number of new storiesand jokes that are vastly amusing He Is

followed by Mclrtyre and Heath of TheGeorgia Minstrelr fame who have a nowsketch called The Man From Montanawhich while it Is not so funny as the oldfavorite is sufficiently good to make thetwo immense audiences of yesterday demand a number of recalls

The offsgIng of Musical Dale consistingof a number of melodies played on bellsand an arrangement of reeds proves to bethe best pleasing number of the entirebill and the musicians work was applauded to the echo yesterday The MaidIn the Moon is the name of a new sketchshown by Patrice which allows her towear a costume that would be condemned-on any stage and Is altogether outof place In Its present environment Thefinish of the act is by all means the bestpart of It Josie and Willie Barrows singand dance to the evident satisfaction ofthe spectators and John D Gilbert playsan entire operetta himself assuming thedifferent characters with commendablesuccess Sophia Burnham possesses agood voice of considerable strength whichshe uses effectively in several songs Theconcluding number of the programme iscontributed by the Three Yoscarrys unusually daring acrobats whose workthroughout is exceedingly clever Mati-nee dally

The Academy SuperlinThe Academy contained one of the best

audiences of the theatrical season lastnight when a large and capable companypresented the Hanlons favorite pantomime Superba The spectacle has beenredressed in most elaborate form thescenery is dazzling the lighting effectsare pleasing and the performance is ex-

cellent throughout Adra MadgaHenry Lizie N Wilson and Robert Rosalre of the cast deserve special noticefor their painstaking efforts The specialties including the clever TIller troupe ofgirls the amusing Merrills in their bicycle act apd Prof Galetti with histrained apes were new and were greetedwith deserved applause Superba promises to crowd the Academy all the week
