THE BJRBANK.M Milton Mobiles will be
seen for the last tine this evening in his
great pastoral playa Son of Thespis. in
winch he is doing hIch exceptionally fine
acting. Tomorrowevening Mr.. Mobiles be-
gins the last week lut one of his engage
ment in this city AID will present his ster-
ling comedy-drama Love and Law, play
depicting life in all ihases as 1t is today in
the lowest part Of New York city. This
piece is said to be superior to any OF the
London melodrama1 which have scored
such tremendous successes during the past
six years. Love and Law is intensely dra-
matte and sensational and yet is kept we'll
IN hand, and the situations are all within
the legitimate bounds of the story and its
natural surroundings. 1t is altogether one
or the best melodrAmas OH the stage to-
day. 1t is we'll balanced, cleverly graded
to the climax, and is one of those happy
bIendings Of humor and pathos emapa.in1
from the fertile brain of Milton Mobiles. It
Is considered his best work In the way OF
playwrighting. The play presents many
novel scenes and situations and puts upon
the stage type of New York life SO true
to nature that for the instant one seems to
be right on Crosby street. In the
last act, when Mr.. Mobiles portrays
the Italian, the resemblance is SO
great, that whe1 he throws off his disguise
the applause of the audience is deafening.
Mr. Mobiles has established his claim to
place among the cleverest among drama
lists. Love and Law Is by far his best
dramatic work, and one that will outlive
his best previous efforts. The story is in
teresting and intensely told. The dia-
logues are very bright in the comedy
scenes, and full of intensity and vigor in
the more dramatic passages. The princi-
pal characters are cleverly drawn and well
defined, and the various climaxes we'll con-
ceived and deftly executed. There is not,
during the entire four acts, a minute that
Is dull or lacking in interest. Mr.. Mobiles
Is among the very best natural comedians
and character actors, and it is claimed, as
Felix O'Paff, the Irish gentleman, in Love
and Law, he is seen at his beat. Mr..
Mobiles will be ably supported by his ac-
wife, Dolly Mobiles, one of the
brightest of ingenues. AS Rita, an Italian
street singer, she shows her striking ability
in this character, and in the girlish
of her acting she stands out in
bold relief in the earlier scenes, when con-
trasted with the strong emotional powers
exhibited with her cruel prosecutor. She
has face, voice and manner full of re-
finement, and during the production she
renders several Italian songs. Miss Rose
and Miss Georgia Woodthrope
will also be seen in the cast, and these two
artists are great favorites with
the patrons of this theater. The scenery
will be unusually fine and the play ele-
gantly mounted. The Bay View cottage,
Staten island, with a panoramic view of
New York bay and harbor, is being spec
tally prepared by Scenic Artist McKeune.
The play promises to make big hit and
large audiences are assured at every per.
formance during the week with the usual
matinee on Saturday. Hereafter matinee
prices to adults will be % cents and child
rem 10 cents to all parts of the house.
