WEEKLY DRAMATIC NOTES.
Mauds Aaams Il ouaII.y s,rees.'
lFoR THE cHRoNIcLv.

/
| The acting of Maude Adams is al
ways interesting whether, she charms
us with TIE bewitching grace of Lady
Babbie; the pathetic. girljsh Juliet
OF L'Aiglon, that beautifully poetic
but thoroughly French conception OF
grandeur fallen-or rather never at
| tained.
| For her new play, Quality Street
Miss Adams has gone back TO the
author of her greatest success 1.-THE
Little Minister and Mr.. Barrie has
not failed her. Quality Street" is
not a strongly dramatic play II may
not be a well constructed play from
the critics point of view, but it would
be hard to find play more thoroughly
suited to Miss Adams delightful per-
sonality. The quaint delicate humor
of it is irresistible while the staid.
old fashioned life of the little conn
try town in the early year of the las'
century has been most faithfully re-
produced.
The story, which is by no means a
hackneyed one is that of two sisters
who live on Quality Street, at the
time of the Napoleonic wars. The
younger, Phebe (played by Miss
Adams) is in love with Valentine
Browns a young doctor, who, unknow-
ing, goes away to the wars, after which
| finding themselves suddenly reduced
in circumstances the two sisters open a
school. Nine years elapse during
which Phebe has been the drudge OF
the school room. Her curls tucked
away under cap, her pretty color
gone She seems to have developed
into the typical old maid. Brown
returns and is shocked and disappoin-
ted at the change and it is after his
departure in her outhnrst of longing
and regret for her lost youth that
Miss Adams uoes some of her best
work. She rebels at the injustice Of
it and leaving the room comes back
in few minutes clad in the floating
silken draperies of the old days, her
curls loosened-in fact the very EN-
bodiment of all she believed 81 had
lost. Brown returning does l OF recog.
nize her-and in her confusion she
| introduces herself as her own niece
and is persuaded to accompany him
| to the ball There she fascinates
everyone by her beauty and vivacitJ
and is so intoxicated with il all thai
she returns night after night to tht
balls in the character of Miss Libby
! while during the day she goei
back to the humdrum existence ui
Phebe. She finally learns from Bfowl
that instead OF being in love as eh,
supposed with the fictitious Miss
Libby he still adores Phebe and hel
lncoherent paraxysn of Joy and de-
light is one of the strongest III omentl
of the play.
In the last act Brown learns every
thing and helps them get rid of Miss
Libby who was beginning to arouse
the curiosity of the villagers and the
curtain falls on the happy pair in eacl
others arms.
Miss Adams is without doubt the
best loved Sactress on our stage today
and in the character of Phebe Thros
sal she will delight all the old friends
and make many new ones. Sidney
Brough as Valentine Brown Is admir-.
able in every way and Miss Helen
Lowell as Susan Throssal adds great
ly to ones enjoyment of the play.

.PLUCKED
ONCE MORE
Patrons of Lee & Brown
Looking After Assets.

One Morristown Customer After the
Concern on Copper Deal and Won
derful to Say Gets His rlargin Back
Others Not SO Fortunate "A Num-
ber OF Local Victims.
The offices of Lee & Brown, bankers
and brokers at No. 90 and 1858 Broad
way, east 125th street, Corner Of
Spring and Bowery, New York
800 Broad street, Newark, N. j.,
and in the Babbitt Building,
Morristown, are closed, and speaking
especially for the Morristown end
of the deal a number of their
customers who were closely shorn''
are looking anxiously for assets
in the different offices of the concern
which it is alleged savored Of the
bucket snop"
Mr.. Kennedy, the manager of the
Morristown Office, says that he en-
gagged with the concern supposing
them to be reputable, and until some
of their crooked transactions came out
he had absolute faith IN the house
which he has represented since August
10th, when their offices were opened
hele. A Morristown customer placed
an order with the firm on Sept. 21st
for twenty shares of Amalgamated
Copper" stock which was called on
Oct 28th. When he went to the main
office, No. So Broadway accompanied
by witness, he was told that he
would have to come later and day
was mentioned when the stock would
be delivered. A number Of dates were
made and in each instance Lee q
Brown failed to deliver the stock. The
Morristonian not being quite so lamb
like as the other customers Of the
firm at once went to President Morti-
NOR H. Wagar of the Consolidated
Exchange who advised him TO transfer
his account to another broker, which
was done, when Lee & Brown agreed 80
deliver the stock within day or two.
Their failure to make good this
promise led to threat to commence
proceedings at once, if the same was
not delivered within three hours,
which was done. Thus at least, one
of the customers of the concern in
Morristown by pluck, and the di play
of an unlimited amount of nerve
managed to get his money back.
There are others here, embracing q
number of our young merchants and
others who claim to be unusually
well-informed as to. tips who would
be very glad to get back anywhere
from three to five or six hundred dol
lars each which they placed In
the hands of Lee & Brown for
the purchase of stock. The
stocks that were mostly dealt
in by our would be- get-rich-
quick young men were Steel, Union
Pacific, Erie, with some scattering
shares of mining stock.
The old story helds good in this
case as we'll as in others: Patronize
reliable concerns. There is firm Of
reputable bankers and brokers in this
city its members are responsible and
the character of the Morristown man
f; ager is we'll known to the residents of
Morristown, and he also has large
personal interests in this city. If
some of the customers of the defunct
concern had followed the advice of
this gentleman they would be many
hundreds of dollars better off today
and probably would have enjoyed
their Thanksgiving turkey, while
as it was their thoughts most
naturally turned to ''goose" and
"shorn lambs -

Mr.. Kruger says the Transvaal Of

Regarding Mrs. Kruger, he said:
Il am sorry for her, too. 1 have a
