GRAND OPERA-HOUSE- A PARLOR MATChs'
No one is ever disappointed In "a Parlor
Match" Almost every body has seen it.
but goes again because it affords about as
much enjoyment to the square inch any
farce-comedy ever presented. Evans and
Hoey have attained as much popularity
with theater- roers as they can desire. and
it would probably make little difference
what they chose as the medium
through which to entertain the
public, the size of their audiences
would remain the same. There was q
pleasant scarcity of vacant seats at the
Grand last night, and the people laughed
as heartily at Old Hoss and Mr.. McCorker
if the characters were new, instead of beign
familiar to almost everyone. There is some
thing irresistably funny about Mr. Hoey's
Old Hose that one may see the character
lzation dozen times and never tire of it.

| PARK-"THE WORLD AGAINST HER,
| Mr.. Frank Harvey's melodrama, ''The
World Against Her," is a we'll told story of
| English life, full of local color and strong
dramatically. 1t was done here several
| years ago by Miss Kate Claxton.
and in the form in which 1t was presented
at the Park TheaIer yesterday there has
| been but little change, except that the
| comedy has been written mp" and elab-
Grated. The story is a domestic one. and
| tells of the wrongs and indignIties to which
| an innocent woman was subjected through
no fault of her own, but on account of her
efforts TO protect sister. The pathos in the
| play-and 1T Is strongly drawn-is empha-
| sized by the participation of child in the
| various scenes. There js much that is
| improbable In The World Against Herr
but 1t is full of homely sentiment and af-
| fecting incidents. Miss Agnes Wallace
Villa. who plays Madge Carlton. the much
| abused wife. is an actress of force and intel-
! ligence. with unusual capabilities in de-
| picting strong emotion. Lucie Villa played
| juvenile part Dictnresquely. and the cast
| throughout averaged well. The World
| Against Her" will run all week-two per-
| formances daily-at the Park. 1t is the
strongest play. so far as dramatic consid-
erations are concerned. this house has had
