AT the White Horse Tavern.

At the White Horse Tavern.
This delightful comedy of complica-
tions," is it has been described by a
critic, has a plot that is made re-
markably clear and a story which,
while it is amusing in its very concep-
ton and intensely humorous through
out, never at any time suggests the
ridiculous or improbable. 1t is Sgd
ney Rosenfeld's adoption of I'm WeiS-
sen Roess'l," the big Berlin success of
those clever playwrights, Blumenthal
and Kadelburg, and the English YER
sion under the management of Daniel
and Charles Frohman has proved as
great a success in America as the orig
inal did in Berlin. In the splendid
character drawing and well-contrived
contrasts, more than in the story, it is
said, lies the plays chief charm, while
much of the episodical matter is ire
sistibly funny. Daniel and Charles
Frohman have selected from the pick
of their combined forces in choosing
the company of over thirty people
which will be seen at the Opera House
tonight, when the first presentation
here of cat the White Horse Tavern
will be made. The sale of seats yes
terday was exceptionally large.

William Gillette's comedy, Because
She Loved Him &c." which will be
presented at the Opera House Friday
night, is the first play this highly sue
cessful author and actor has written
since Secret Service" Young married
couples filled the Madison Square The
atre, New York, all last season, DUR
ing the long run of William Gillette's
successful comedy Because She Loved
Him So" Some couples were seen
there more than a half dozen times.
The explanation of their many visits
and their intense interest in the play
lies in the fact the Because She Loved
Him So" is built around a young mar
ried couples first quarrel-a rather Bit
ter one-and the performance is a
striking object in that sort of thing.
Some couples went there to see if the
mimic quarrel was anything like their
own and were surprised when they
found that it was. Mr.. Gillette's hero
and heroine put up very life-like
representation of what the real domes-
tic disturbance Is like when the hus-
band and wife are both young and
each head over heels in love with the
other.
