TO Suit All Tastes-Footligh Flashes
A. P. Dunlop, writing from New York
under date of November 29th, says:
Monday evening two offerings of fresh
matter were 1.-The Hustler at the Bijou,
and Jack Royal of the 92' at the Peo-
plies. 1.-THE Hustler'' has been pulled
over the hottest kinds Of Goals by the
critics and if it was anything but farce
comedy-which no criticism can badly
hurt-would have been incinerated. TO
the credit of the author, Lew Rosen, it
may be said that he failed to recognize
his own play, and is perfectly willing
that those who altered it may also take
the honor of authorship. Jack Royal
of the 92'' is from the long-tried and
graceful pen of A. G. Wheeler, (Nym
Crinkle), who has fitted Harry Lacy with
military melodrama well suited TO his
talents. The scene is laid in New ork,
just previous to and at the time of the
draft riot, and the play is full of dramatic
color, akin to that displayed in narrative
from the same author in his book, ''Ihe
Toltec Cup" The play was well received
by Monday nights audience, and Mr..
Lacy secured a personal hit
The spectacle cinderella" was put on
at the Academy Tuesday night. under
the supervision of j. III. Leslie, who has
done similar work in various London
theaters at Christmas time in years past.
1T is, of course, a fanciful and elaborate
stage setting of the famous old tale. The
production was a handsome affair, with
beautiful ballets and fine pantomimic
and spectacular effects, but it lacks life
and go. An entertainment of that kind
demands more than costumes and seem
cry.
