METROPOLITAN THEATER.-The Days
Thomas, Robert, William, Daniel and Liz
zie, and Lizzie Derious (Daly)-appeared
at the Metropolitan last night to fine
house, in their speciality, Vacation" 1t
is supposed to represent the very question
able pranlis and bold behavior Of two Vas
sar girls and q Yale and a Harvard student
out for vacation, and who take especial
delight in tormenting a college professor
and approaching as nearly as they dare to
improprietieS with each other. The piece
gives the male members of the family
opportunity to show that they are athletes
and good dancers. Lizzie Derious and Liz
zie DAILY dance well also, and the former is
a pleasing singer, with a strong voice and
marked versatility. The support includes
Il. :. Lyle Miss Ada Stanhope George W.
Derious and Miss Allie Smith There is
plenty of action and song and dance and
comical scenes in the piece, and all sorts of
gags, punS and forced witticisms that fairly
drip with semi-permisSible slang, border
ing on improperly and sometimes fairly
overstepping it, and going knee deep in
vulgarisms. One cannot help laughing at
the provoked ludicrous situations. and the
merriment of the audience last night testi-
fed TO its enjoyment. Probably there was
never before compressed into so small a
space and such brief text such absurdity
and So meaningless a mess of words. If
any other ola pOdrida can equal il for non
sense its author deserves the distinction of
nOtOriety The Dalys will draw-the pub
lie do not care to be entertained but to be
amuScd-and these lively athletes. good
dancers and very sprightly and funny peo-
pie just fill the bill of folly to which people
are willing 10 subscribe without going
Squarely over to the mclodeon performance.
The Days and the management know the
public taste and certainly cater to il, and
protect their pockets thereby. The same
performance tonight.
