whitening night shade of Dutch wles in South
Africa.
CLEVER BURLESQUE.
Mr.. Charles Hlwtrey is a practical joker as
well as a good comedian This week he ap-
pcared without previous announcement in The
Regenerates" a mschievous little travesty
written by Mr. Post for Mr.. De Wolf Hopper's
company which has transferred Ell Captain"
from the Lyric to the Comedy. The skit was
based upon single scene from The Degen-
crates and enabled Miss Jessie Mackaye to
initiate Mrs. Llngtry's mannerisms and Mr..
Hopper to make up a burlcsque villain and
TO light dozen cigarettes at every corner Of
the stage. Mr.. Blake had been cast for the
part of the Duke Of Ale. but was kept away by
illness. which was obviously more convenient
than serious. His place taken by sub
stitute who provided exact counterpart OF
Mr. Hawtrey in his original role with Mrs.
Largtry's company. The spectators spell
bound by the closeness Of the imitation until
the Duke opened his mouth, and then they
roared with laughter. for the voice was unmis-
taxable Mr. Hawtrey's double was none other
than the actor himself appearing for a single
night in "A trayesty upon his own part.
Mr.. Hawtrey's little joke highly APP
precated by fortunate rst-nighttrs that he
may be tempted to repeat his humorous device
Of impersonatny himself and Understanding
and ridicullng his own stage business. In any
event he has provided at least one innocent bit
of diversion in connection with Mr.. Grundy's
cy meal and abominable play. which was writ
ten to fit the requirements OF Mrs. Langtry's
talents, such they are. and TO minister to
the depraved tastes of fashionable idlers. The
Degenerates" is popular success, but II Is an
unwholesome play which reflects no credit upon
either playwright actors or the public that
finds recreation in it, Mr.. Grundy owed sincere
lovers of the theatre ample reparation for such
a work. and he has gone long way in the
right direction at the Haymarket. LNF

Mr.. Maude is naturally an eccentric comedian
and his impersonation of the dreamy, absent
minded prisoner is coored perhaps too strongly
by his whimsical talent for farccal touches
He is not frankly and ertlessly Dutch as Miss
Emery is. but his humor is bright and fascinat-
ing, his love making is coy and innocent, his
passion for tulips is sincere and unaffected. and
his final discovery that loyal WOmans heart
is worth more than the 100000 form prize for
a bulb is effectively denoted Mr. Sydney Val
entine's performance as Gryphus, the jaer, is
exceedingly strong and realistic. without being
too mclOdramatic coarse. Mr.. Frederick
Harrison enacts the part of William of Orange
with courtly stateliness and distinction. There
also good Dutch limitations of Dogbcrry and
Verges in the scenes where the tulip enthusiast
is arrested and tried for treason. and all the
subordinate parts are well taken.

The setting of this play is illumined with
the local color of "A quaint but beautiful and
highly artistic country. The first act reveals
a tulip garden bordered by high wall with a
vista of Dordr"cht. the most picturesque of
Dutch towns, in the background. The next two
acts are set for CORR Tors in the prison Of the
