Vienna theaters are devoted ore
than any others in Europe to the pro.
ducuon of plays dealing with the life
Of the city. Studies of character, pic
lures Of city existence, and the pre-
sentation of local types always inter
est the Viennese public. The Last
Button and For the Child, two strik-
ing plays of this kind, acted there re-
Gently, were followed by The Monster
Hare in four acts. 1t proved TO be in
teresting chiefly through the remark
ably faithful reproduction Of a Wen
nese carpenters domestic experiences.
Scarcely a week passes that one of
the Vienna theaters does not produce
a play of this kind.
Not in years was there such a great
success scored at Powe9 s. theater,
Chicago as was made b. Viola Allen
at the commencement of this season
as Glory Quayle in The Christian. For
five weeks Miss Allen played to such
enormous houses that efforts were
made to continue her engagement,
but previous bookings prevented. She
IS now back for brief engagement.
