AT THE THEATER.
In Gay New York Played to a Large
and well Pleased Audience.

- Cav New YORK PlHyeu To Large
and well Pleased Audience.
There was only standing room when
tbe curtain went up last night at the the
oter on Canary & Lederer's Casino Com
many in the up-to-date extravaganza, In
cav New York. The show is one of the
brightest, snappiest, prettiest, that has
been seen here in many days. 1t parodies
nearly all of the latest theatrical sue
,asses. makes a good-natured fling at poll
,ics turns an x-ray of fin de steele society
with its millions to spend for dukes in
the family and makes fun of the foibles
of human ma ture generally. There is not
dun line in the dialogue, not an un-
snrightly score in the music. The come
wand it is all comedy--is clean aud
fresh not to say side-splitting. The pres
entation, with competent company, was
most refreshing after the experience of a
night or two ago..
Probably the most prominent charaeter
IN the piece were those taken by Frank
tones, whom rumor insists is to be the
4 4frh husband of Lillian Russell notwitn-
sanding his emphatic denial, and Miss
n 1uev Daily who bullesques YVette Gull
"a bert and goes her zone better" Jones
81 bumor is of the kind that is death to but
q IONS Miss Days dancing is accentu-
81 ared by a certain "chic'' style that never
q fans to make the fellows in the back part
of the house sit on the arms of their
chairs to see what is going on. These,
"a however, are not the only meritorious
"a members of the company. But it is such
a big company that it is impossible to
give especial mention to everyone who
deserves it, 1t must be sufficient to say
that if there were more of such companies
on the road, managers would not complain
so much of the hard times.
The Henshaw-Ten Brock Company will
be seen tonight in The New Nabobs The
