'Chimmie Fadden," which opens at
the theatre tomorrow evening. enjoyed
the novel distinction of coming into
New York early last winter, quietly
and without ostentation. and hacking
the theatres to the doors fer nearly Ave
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 Fadden" may be
said to be a great play. 1t certainly
pleased New Workers of all classes,
and received the endorsement of every
prominent newspaper in the metropo-
lis, and it has just met with quite as
much success during its recent engage
ment in San Francisco. The story
deals with the adventures of Chimmie
Fadden. the Bowery boy, created by
Edward w. Townsend. The main in
cidents of the Chimmie Fadden stories
are represented. and all the unique
characters of high and low degree are
shown, including His Whiskers,'' de
Barkeep," de Duchess" Burton"
Mr.. Paul." and Miss Fanny" The
company supporting Mr. Hopper is,
from all accounts, exceptionally good.
1t will include here all the New York

Wheeler, Irene Viancourt, Fanny Dem
ham Rouse and Marie Bates. As CHM
mic Fadden, Charles Hopper is said to
give an representation which places
him in the front rank of American dia-
lect comedians. The character is a
most difficult one, calling for the great
est versa tility, and requiring an actor
who can at one time be a light come
dian, at another an emotional juvenile
man, and at still another almost a
heavy tragedian. AS if this were not
enough, Chimmie Fadden has TO sing
and dance. All this Mr.. Hopper ac-
composites, and it is for his remark
able versatility that he has received
the highest praise. Chimmie Fadden
is in four acts All the special New
York scenery will be brought here and
the production will be given quite as
completely as it was during last win
ter's engagement in the metropolis.

given the company the dates in con-

This, however, will depend on wheth-

Weihe said yesterday that he would
like to produce both operas during
conference week but that the tax for
costumes was so heavy that it was
doubtful whether it could be done.
