ONCE again we have had the Spider
- ana Fly, with its spangles. glitter
and gladstone gags its epidemic OF swing
Ing song, without any really good singers,
and lis spirited dance. its car load of fan
fastic scenery and risky costumes: It's
galaxy OF piain-faced. broad-leggea girls
and It's general melange Of breezy IRE
sponsibiiity and picturesque gorgeousness
Under M. II. iseavitt's personal SUPER
vision the show is not lacking In any OF
the details that has made II famous along
With 'Sinbad and other similar produc-
lions. save In the quality OF the actors
the absence Of good singing voices being
tho most noticeable fault with this years
show.

fairly rose at her.
The next morning every paper In town
said that Miss Bates simply took the Whole
hrnors of the piece away from every other
member OF the cast and two OF her critics
compared her acting TO Bernhardt al her
best.
She pays designing woman, and has
two violent scenes which she plays with
force ana abandon that IL simply cleo
triSyinx. A few weeks ago she made quite
a hit AT Days ere fatal Monday night and
left the company next morning. People
said Ada Rehan was jealous of her suc-
cess. but Miss Bates would moi have Il
