Academy-1.From Scotland Yard.u

There was surfeit of enthusiasm at the
Academy of Music last night. and IL fu-
ture audiences assembled to see the new
melodrama, From Scotland Yard are as
well pleased as that which crowded the
upper portion of Manager Janette's play
house, there will be money in plenty for
the promoters of the offering.
The play has situations-several of them
in fact-and one has enough novelty and
force to carry the entire four acts TO
successful termination. There Is little
need to tell the story of the play. 1t is
a typical detective story. filled with SEN
sationaI events and heroic speeches. The
customary faithful wife and loving child
are present and are rescued invariably
in the nick of time. while the detective
himself is-like the proverbial Johnny-aI-
ways on the spot at the needful moment.
The one great situation in the play in
cludes three scenes with continued action,
a rescue from strangulation by shooting
out the light of a candle, battle on
roof, ending in a fall through skylight
and a final round in the loft below where
a convenient pitchfork comes In opposi-
ton to an equally ready barrel stave. The
final scene is not well done, but was en-
Enthusiastically received last night
The company is generally good. Albert
HOsmer, who has the role OF the leading
detective, suits the average gallery crowd
quite well. Gus Mortimer is really excel
lent singing well and reading with intel
ligence, and Henry Hanscombe who es-
says the role of the very wicked and cruel
villain, is far above the average. The
Granger child Is quite good also, while
Nellie Granger is a pretty ingenue with
a good idea of humor. The remainder of
the rather large cast is quite even in
ability.
The scenery is well painted. and as a
whole the performance is pleasing to those
who care for detectives In their melo-
dramas. There will be the customary matt
nees today Thursday, and Saturday.

The Lafnyette-"Miss Hobb..v

At the Lafayette Theatre last night Je-
rome X Jernme's sparkling comedy.
Miss Hobbs" was presented by the stock
company under the stage direction of VIII
liam Seymour. The play served Annie
Russell as a starring vehicle last year and
elected the most favorable comment in
all the cities in which 1t was presented.
Like most authors, Jerome has his admir-
ers and flaws are to be found In his style
and many objections raised to his cyni-
cism, but surely no fault can be found
with Miss Hobbs" unless it be that she
is a trihe exaggerated. This, however.
may be said of most stage characters and
OF many which have not been drawn in the
vein of clever comedy which Jerome has
furnished this rather eccentric young per-
son.
The play is one of the most interesting
offerings of the stock season. 1t fairly
scintillates with brilliant dialogue. and the
cleverly conceived situations are very
unique and amusing. The story holds
the interest of the audience from begin
ming to end, and is told simply and clear

The CoIumbia-s'A Runaway GirI.u

If the enthusiasm and size OF the audi
ence at the Columbia Theatre last even
ing when the supplementary season of
musical comedy was inaugurated are to
be taken as a criterion of what future
gatherings will be, the success Of the ven
ture is assured. The theatre was packed
and the applause was hearty. as well as
plentiful. Each of the popular songs of
"A Runaway Girl was encored. and
the performance was delayed over a half
hour on account of the insistence on the
part of the audience that the delightful
numbers be repeated 1t was most sue
cessful commencement of the period of
musical productions, and few regular or
CARNATIONS have succeeded In creating
such a favorable impression as did the
Columbia company last night.
1t was a rather daring effort to pre-
sent for the initial Offering such IA
miliar piece as "A Runaway Girl" 1t
was last seen here few months ago,
when it displayed a drawing power that
was considered little short Of marvellous
when it was recalled that the piece had
been seen here on at least two previous
occasions. And when Manager Luckett
decided to open his season with the form
er DAILY success, the wise ones shook
their heads in doubt, but last nights
splendid audience showed the wisdom of
the choice. A better production of the
musical comedy has never been given in
this city. and its success Is all the more
remarkable when he low prices of ad-
mission are considered. one dollar for
the best orchestra chair is a small charge
for such an excellent production and it
will doubtless result in keeping the

as Is seldom surpassed, and an unusually
strong bill of attractions made Manager
Chase's house a most delightful place yes
terday afternoon and evening, when two
large audiences showed their appreciation

Robert Hilliard presented The -ittfest
Girl in much the same manner as he

by the work of Edwin Holland. who as
sumed the part of Carruthers In other
respects the playlet afforded a pleasing
contrast to the usual vaudeville sketch.
A one-act melodrama of the time of
George Washington, introducing Mary
Scott and company. contained not little
interest and realism, but showed rough
ness in its construction. Miss Scott was
quite pleasing and was supported by Law
