Lady's Lord will long remain the attrac-
ton at the Empire. 1t is really an artistic
treat, and the success of such a work
would reflect more credit upon this COM
unity than the enormous takings general
ly attributed to some of the libidinous
French farces with which we nave been
afflicted during the past few years. 1t
would be unjust to drop "My Lady's
Lord without calling attention to some of
the beautiful writing with which it
hounds There is one speech in particu-
lar, in which Martin gives Doura his idea
of what a woman should be, that is really
worthy to go into any Of the books of ia
nous quotations. To sum it all up. it
would be a pleasing relief if Mr.. Charles
Frohman or some of the other prominent
managers would give us a few more plays
of the same standard of excellence as MY
Lady's Lord"
Manager Edwin knowles Of the Fifth
Avenue theatre is just now offering his
patrons of his own production of R. A..
Barnet's Three Little Lambs which is
described or the house programme as a
musical comedy in two acts, but which /.
in reality a farce with musical INTERRUPT
lions. Mr.. Barnet is the gentleman who
used TO write the book for the annual en-
tertainment given by the Boston Cadets.
One thing for which he and the cadets are
Jointly responsible for is 1892" but he has
long since been forgiven for that. for it
was amusing, even though it was absurd.
In fact, it appears to be Mr.. Barnet's spe-
cial mission in life to amuse, no MATTER
how extreme his methods adopted for
bringing about that commemorate result
may be.
In a stage vehicle like Three Little
Lambs" the opinion of the critic is usually
of little value, and the ultimate test is,
perhaps, its reception by an audience.
Judged by that standard, Three Little
Lambs" is that 1t was TO lave been pro-
duced by that king of managers, Augustin
DAILY. The untimely demise of that esti-
mable and thoroughly artistic manager,
however, made this impossible.
The story of 'sThree Little Lambs is
simplicity itself, and it is as typical of
Barnet as anything could possibly be.
Tooke is the president of the bank of
Harwicke & Tooke, which has a board of
women directors. A certain Hungry Jim
and a certain Phyllis. who are man and
wife constitute, with Tooke, the Three
Little Lambs" The sole aim in life of
this precious triosappears to be to get hold
OF the money which Harwicke is to re-
ceive under certain conditions as a legacy.

The building OF the railroad below
