NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-The week in New
York has been rather barren of important
productions. and even OF theatrical news.
The attention of the fashionable has been
given to the Horse Show, at Madison
Square Garden. and the questionable
have Kept away from the playhouses to a
certain extent. As a result, local managers
have not been particularly happy and cor
respondents are denied the poor solace OF
describing big audiences There is slight
prospect of things picking up until after
the holidays. and consequently my letters
are likely TO lose a deal of any interest
they ever may have possessed.
OF course, on Monday evening the crit
les and the frst-nighters hied themselves
to the Knicllerbocker, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Kendall our English cousins, were seen in
''The Elder Miss Blossom" The comedy
had been done already not only in London
and the provinces but in Philadelphia and
other American cities. Its reception else
where was none too cordial. and, result
antly, we of the metropolis were especially
anxious to pass judgment. Here a con-
siderable degree of success was achieved,
the piece being voted wholesome and
amusing. The story it tells is a simple
one, concerning a certain African explorer
| who has fallen in love with marvellous
| suddenness and proposed by letter while
en- route TO the wilds of the Dark Conti-
neut. He returns to find that he has been
accepted by the aunt of the Miss Blossom
| to whom his note was addressed, and, with
| all due delcacy, explains the state of af-
| fairs TO his accidental inamorata. She
treats him with such consideration and dig
! nity that his respect and then his affection
| is won. He maTTies the elder Miss Bios
| som, the younger taking unto herself the
! usual juvenile suitOr. This plot is well
! evolved and was more than well acted by
| the principals. Mrs. Kendall was SYM
! pathetic and womanly in the title role,
while her husband, despite several pro-
yoking mannerisms. found favor in the op-
posite part. The Elder Miss Blossom"
| will be followed by Frank Daniels in The
| Ameer
