"Heart OF Hearts," which was produced at the
Madison Square Theatre last night, afforded ample
opportunities to one OF the most charming men,
bers Of MIR. Palmer's excellent company-to wit,
Miss Marie Burroughs. Miss Burroughs played the
part Of Lucy Robins, the heroine, who, the daugn-
ter Of a somewhat unenviable father, 10 introduced
into the family OF the exclusive Lady Clarissa Fitz-
ralph, whose son loves her. She Is suspected Of
stealing Lady Fitzralph's wonderful ruby, ''Riven
to my granduncle by the King OF Burmah." 1t
finally turns ont that the unenviable father stoln
the Jewel, and everything ends happily. OF course
the plot of ''Heart Of Heart" is trite, but the
comedy In handled in an extremely ingenious
manner, and there are q couple OF highly
entertaining comedy parts, which, II i'm.
delighted the adlence with her varying moods. She
was most charming, when she was what the nov
elists call arcn. MT. Massen was Harold Fltz-
ralph, an extremely heroic young man, with a
loving and f~orretful nature. Mrs. K j. Philips
gave a capital impersonation OF the aristocratic
ants had any feelings. J. II. Stoddard, as the
butler, and uncle of Lucy Robins, and his amusing
clever performance made him a central figure In
the favor OF the audience. Mrs. L. L Davenport
was very funny as Miss wilhemina Fltzralph, who
married the butler. Miss Blanche Curtisse had a
stupid part. very much like that played by Miss
Grace Henderson, at the Lyceum.
" Ermiuie " has come back, and from the eS-
uberant delight manifested by the huge audience
at the Casino last night II was really dlflcult to
house. Wilson received sn ovation and told the
audience Afterwards how proud he was OF 1t. His
rendering OF = : WHAT the Dicky Birds Saw " was
more nilariously funny than ever. Miss Pauline
Halls voice IS becoming very metallic. 1t Is
probably the stately presence OF Mis-. Hall that has

was a charming favorlte. There is something ex-
trene'y fascinating about this little lady. How
long =. Erminie - will run 1t il impossible to sur
mise, but, KIND Me,srs. Aronson, let us have 1t as
long as possible, please.
Mile Zelie de Lussau, of whom 30 much has been
heard, appeared at the Fifth Avenue Theatre Last
night as Marie, In ''The Daughter Of the Regi-
ment. Mile dc Lussan was received with great
favor. She Is an extremely comely young woman,
with a viyacious manner and a pleasant voice OF
moderate range. The Boston Ideal Opera Com
p.ny is good IN everything except It's wonderfully
but by no means powerful tenor voice. w. ii.
Clark has evidently a good voice, but last night he
was out Of tune. The chorus was very good, in
deed.
'Check a; or, Tobogganing, {" was produced at
the Star Theatre last night with W. A. Mestayer
the typical farce comedy. 1t pleased. There is a
big toboggan slide in one OF the scenes and by Its
means a great deal OF fun Is caused.
Little Puck " at the Fourteenth Street Theatre
last night revealed a dramatization nf that clever
book, Vice VERSA" Frank Daniels appears In
SWAN, George Woodward, Harry Mack and Miss
Bessie Samson do some very creditable work.
Little Puck F" Is bright and funny.
Stanley Macy and Gus Bruno were overwhelm-
lngly ludicrous In the leading parts of the comedy.
