his group with care. But when the supers

scribes it:
There can be no two opinions about the
success of Bobby Gaylor and his company
at the academy of Music last night. The
play was -'go'; from start to finish, and a
most delightful s'go" at that. Sport Nc
Allister' dramatically speaking, is very
much on the order of the American farce
comedy of the FIN de steele" but it is far
above them in the mise en- scene, which go
TO make up its success.
40 begin with. Bobby Gaylor himself is
most unctious actor; his personation OF
Sport McAllister.' the lin de steele Mileslo
American statesman, is picture that viii
bear critical study. His support, TOO, IS ex-
cellent. the singing and dancing being far
above the average article served by the
average travelling farce comedy aggrega-
ton, and above ali there are no long, weary
drags in the way OF ponderous dialogues
and serio-cOmic sentimental songs and
dances.
"A very striking feature of the excellent
olio is the dancing of Miss Parker in the
second act. Quite number OF travellers,
who. during the summer, have Whiled away
an hour at Roster II Balls, say that Miss
Parker is an admirable and most faithful
imitator OF Carmencita, the indalusian
syren, which held all New York by the ears
and eyes for nearly twelve months.
Upon the whole. Sport McAilister'
NAV be set down as as a success. 1t will
abundantly bear the repctitioHs which arr
announced. The ladies viii have an oppor-
tunity of seeing it at the matinee this after
nOOnl and the general public again to-
night"

Shc Stoops to CONQUER.

That the constant cry of degeneracy
against the theater of to-day is unwar-
ranted. would appear plain if judged by the
reception accorded Stuart RobSon's fine
production of Goldsmith's immortal COM
edy, She Stops TO Conquer at the Park
theater, Brooklyn. The house was crowded
TO its capacity, and when the popular come
dian as Tony Lumpkin rode on the scene,
mounted upon a handsome horse fresh
from his steeple-chase, and covered with
foam, the reception accorded him fully
showed the high esteem in which he is held
by all lovers of legitimate comedy The
play was presented exactly as Goldsmith
wrote 1t, which included a scene which does
not appear in any OF the published editions.
but was in the original manuscript and was
acted in London in 1922. The original cpl
logue was finely spoken by Miss Waldron,
Miss Bnsby and Mr. Robson. The scenery
Is appropriate and charming, and although
no attempt has been made to win success
through spectacular effect, each scene is
realistically beautiful, and the old English
flavor of every feature of the fine produc-
ton is apparent in every movement of the
play. Mr.. RObson's company this year is
well suited to the Interpretation OF old
