the attention Of an audience. The scenes
are all laid in New York, and one Of the
best things about the comedy is the New
York atmosphere, which the author has
managed to catch and put on the stage.
The story is attractive, although there
Is very little of it. Ichabod Bronson,
president Of the Young Mems Rescue
League and Anti-Cigarette Society of
Cohoes, has a son, Harry, who does not
Follow in the footsteps of his parent In
deed, 1t is the young mans proud boast
that he is known as "the man who never
goes to bed" Disguised at his sons
prohigaey he resolves to cut him off with
penny and gives his fortune to a Sal
walton Army lassie, known as the Belle
OF New York. The Salvation Army girl
falls in love with the spendthrfft, and
In order to give him back his fortune she
lmpersonates a notorious French dancer
that she may disgust the father The
ordeal is too much for her, and while she
dances she faints in her sweetheart
arms. A cleverly staged scene is that
which shows the Chinese quarter in New
York. Many of the most laughable in
c1dents of the play occur in Smyler's
candy store on Broadway. A pretty
scene is the lawn of the Casino at Mar
gansett Pier.
Miss Beulah Dodge, who plays the part
OF the Salvation Army girl, is ~snsome
looking little woman with a sweet voice,
and her song, "They Follow Me-" is one
or the best musical numbers in the play
Karl Won Pumpernick, polite lunatic,
played by Joseph Kane, is not a very
convincing character. OF the men Ed
ward j. Connolly, as Bronson, pere, is
decidedly the best. George TaIlman, as
his son, was also very good. E. S. Tarr,
as Doc snifkins, and James Darling,
as Kenneth Mugg, low comedian, are
both funny. Arthur Deagan. as BIinkv
Bill and Flo Perry, as his sweetheart
Mamie, did some excellent speciality
work. The latter, who is very youthful
