There seems to be no mistake as to
the success of ''The Man from Mexico"
in comprising the chief end of farce
to make laughter. Decidedly, sit is to
laugh" at this adaptation from the
Fvench, produced at Hoyt's Theatre,
last night. Mr.. Du Souchet is to be
congratulated On scoring another sue
cess on the heels of his my Friend from
lnPia.'' If he cannot claim the same
degree of originality, or if the new
# ice presents less ingenious and novel
situations than the earlier one, it is no
less undeniably a laughter compelling
production. A hint of the funny compli-
cations the author involves his charac-
tiers in is given by the mere statement
that the husband, who cannot elude
the law after a hilarious escapade, tells
his wife that he is going to Mexico to
cover his absence of thirty days from
society, which is the precise penalty of
his outbreak. The second of the three
acts is laid in the Jail warden's Office,
where the convicted Fitzhugh is leading
a ludicrously miserable existence by re-
tirement from his domestic comfort. 1t
is arranged that number of his friends
shall discover his predicament to in
crease the fun at his expense. Opera
House tonight.

One of the charms of Mrs. Fishes
"Tess of the D'Urbervilles" is furnished
by the scene between the heroine of
the story and her little brother Abra-
ham. Liza Lu, the younger sister, is
also incidentally important to the play,
and these children have been so dealt
with by the dramatist that they make
plain in the drama by simple and pa
thetic action, the influence that deter
mine Tess" at a critical point in her
history. and which are less plain in the
book to the ordinary intelligence. This
beautiful play, with Mrs. Fiske in the
title role, will be produced for the first
time here at the Opera House next Tues
day.
