Chimnnie Fadden.

Az EOrIlhIlO Lneatre, November 5U ana
Dsoem Der /, "Chimmie Fadden' with
Charles Hopper in the title role will be
presented. This play enjoyed the novel
distinction of coming into New York
early last winter quietly and without
ostentation. and packing the theatres to
the doors for nearly five consecutive
months. Possibly the most convincing
argument about the value of play Is
that voiced by the clink of the dollars
in the box office. If this be true,
"Chimmie Faddop" may be said to be
great play. The story deals with the adj
ventures Of Chimmie Fadden, the Bow
cry boy, created by Edward W. Townsend
The main incidents of the Chimmie
Fadden stories are represented, and all
the unique characters of high and low
degree are shown. "Chlmmie Baddea"
is In four acts. All the special New York
scenery will be brought here and the pro-
duction will be given Quite as complete
ly as it was during last winters engage
ment in the Metropolis.

English adaptation of a three year
French success, and which won London
ers from its very fist production, but
which scored no greater success in those
European cities than it met with in New
York, when MIR. Robson made it the
run over many other good plays, last
spring. The play aft ords Mr.. Robson
unlimited opportunities for his artistic
method aud refreshing comedy. AS the
treated-like-a- boy husband, he is obliged
to write a thousand lines for some mis-
deneanor, suffers himself to be looked
into room for having delayed a home
coming too long, is made to bow before
a knife to attest his admiration for his
wife's virtue and heroism, and in fact
conducts himself like kniokerbockered
urchip. Notwithstanding'all such penal
ties for every transgression he makes,
Pondsrbusy never fails, to digress from
the path of dnty whenever half chance
presents. and as a pretty woman is one
of his especial weaknesses, he allows
himself to be draw iRto.a whirlpool of
