TN GAY NEW YORK"

The above is fitting title to the play
presented a O'Bren's last night, De
spite the steady rainfall and chilling
northwest wind there was an immense
audience present and all seemed salts
fled with having ventured out.
tn Cay New York is a conglomera-
tion of almost every Imaginable thing
in the theatrical line The plot is intend
ed to show newly married country
couple on q bridal tour to the gay metro
polls. Sharks find out they have money
and proceed to do them. The stranded
actor. ideal tramp, gay soubrette, corps
de ballet. burlesquers and in fact, all
styles of theatrical artists are presented
in capable hands. There is little too
much of one sort Of amusement and not
quite enough of another but the play and
actors pleased and that was sufficient.
The comedians were extra clever and
the same may be said of the soubrettes.
The dancing was good and the ballet all
to be desired.
Perhaps the best thing on the pro-
gramme was the work of Mr. Warheld in
his impersonation of the Jew. This was
without eXaESeration one OF the cleVerest
bits of acting ever witnessed in this city.
There were fully fifty people in the cast
and all were up TO date The perform
ance was fully up to advertisement
The Actors Aid Society Of America re-
Gently held its first public meeting IN New
York. II was q representative gather
ing of players dramatists, managers and
other celebrities. The first step towards
the organization OF this society was made
a few years age, and the effort has mat
with the NEST friendly aid not only from
the representatives of the stage, but from
many distinguished people outside of the
profession. The object of the society
is to improve the actors calling and it's
conditions by mutual benefit, dramatic,
artistic, economic and social means.
Space forbade my referring the past
week to this distinguished assemblage.
but it is not too late to write of an as
semblaee that has for its purpose the
welfare Of the stage and its representa-
tives.
The address Of President Malone before
this notable gathering was eloquent and
set forth plainly the state of the drama

mary OF the Presidents discourse.
This nesting is called in pursuance of
a request made to the president for the
purpose of presenting and discussing res
olutions yoiclng the sentiment of this
society for the proper recognition Of the
actors art as a necessary factor to-
wards the highest civilization and the
placing of the actors calling before the

Thus far you have heard the formal
objects which have called together this
remarkable assemblage of people into
one interested in the progress of that
sublime art which all Of us who speak
the English language call the drama. 1t
Is not necessary for me to dwell long up
on tho dignity and honor in which the

has been held since there was human
creature upon Gods foot STOOL The
drama is not an invention of man; it is
Unborn In the human heart. The very
first prattlings of childhood are associat-

only the prototype of this play house in
which you are assembled today for the
purpose OF doing honor to one of the
sublimest and highest instincts of the
human heart.

your attention to something that is be-

exists as an impulse in the hearts of all.
And in that connection, l wish to say
that it is the purpose of this society to
do omething-not merely to talk, but to
do something for the benefit of the Eng

Some years ago. not more than four or
