MONTGOMERY THEATRE. s'Belle of New York" Made Great Hit Before Two Large Audiences.

'"rhe Belle of New York" came to town yesterday and gave two performances at the Montgomery Theatre. They were witnessed by large audiences.
 The tuneful musical comedy was pre- scented by practically the same company which was here last season and the per- formances gave great satisfaction.
 Beulah Chase Dodge, the demure and pr etty young woman who succeeded Edna May in the part of the Salvation Army lassie. scored another hit with her catchy songs and she was repeatedly encored.
 Ichabod Bronson was played by Ed. ward J. Connolly who had the part last year. His comedy methods are similar to those of Robert E. Graham and he pleased the Montgomery audiences. The greatest character part in the comedy Is that of the polite lunatic and Joseph Kane, who has made -'ne of the greates' successes on the American stage in the part. convulsed the audience with his ev- cry appearance on the stage.
 Arthur Deagon played "Blinky BIT the mixed ale pugilist. He has a fine voice of wide range and his solos com. pleteiy captivated the audience. Last night MT. Deagon was compelled to re- spond to four encores after singing 'She Is the Belle of New York;" Mae Sailor. pretty little woman, made a hit with her French song as Eff Fri cot. and the toe dancing of Hattie Wells was a feature of the performance.
 "The Belle of New York" was present ed by large company. pretty girls pre- dominating. They wore pretty clothes and danced and sang well. The chorus Is well trained and the scenery is ade- quate.

HER PRETTY FACE
CHORUS GIRLS BEAUTY MAR
 RED BY \ CHANGE BLOW.
Two Members of "Belle of New York" Troupe Have e Little Scrap and One Lick
 Went Astray.

An interesting performance was given on the stage of the Montgomery Theatre last night immediately after the curtain fell upon the production of 'The Belle of New York;" but the performance was not witnessed by the public.
 The principal characters In the private performance were Howard Crampton. stage name s'Snifkins''; Seymour. sing CT; Roberta Humes. chorus sirl. and Charles Hinderer. stage carpenter and formerly Q captain in tho Montgomery Tire Department.
 There were no encores but there wal a scattering of chorus girls in multi colored costumes. There were exclama' tions from the men when Howard Cramp tf n, stage name "Snifkins. rushed into the sceno In bellicose attitude and at chorus girl got into the way of one of the big fists of Cramptcn, stage name ''Syiflxins." and was struck in the eye. ,1inderer. stage carpenter and true scuihsrns., saw s.. nothing except d,g that ,oi stop to make enquiries. but bounded ar ter Crampton. stage name Snifklns.
 Net result: Tho face of Crampton. mSsans s,sss sans ns sga o Roberta s0rs nume che rus girl, is sore. but Hinderor. stage carpenter. is the hero of her chorus girl heart. Hinderef, stage carpenter. ID S; o !sHs Tss fs Se. issx of Ssx company. for be 1t known that Cramp- ton. stage name "Snifkins.' is not pop ular with his fellow players.
 What caused this trouble behind the scenes of the Montgomery Theatre!
 Seymour Is chorus man. Mrs. Sey- mour Is chorus woman-girl If you please Actors and actorines In the say thas so., arS TSey the pair gessiped about Crampten, stage name "snifkins," who is big man. sey- mour is not Q htg. Crampton remon- strated with Seymour and the cuimina- ton of a feud came last night.
 Just as the curtain fell on the last act of ''The Belle of New York" and Violet Gray and Harry Bronson had ar. ranged "to live happily, ever .,o after: n,s .s the father of Cora Ansei:aus, Queen of Comic Opera" sang his best in the finale but he kept his eye on Seymour. chorus man. who swelled the chorus away back krls a the rhs 5sar cuPsaln Psana had SaPeS fallen when Champion made a rush for Sey- mour Crampton drew back to strike. Roberta Humes. innocent and agreeable just as that minute. There was only one strike, and she got 1t.
 Charles Hinderer, stage carpenter, saw the chorus girl fall. That was enough; some acting on the stage of the Mont- gomery Theatre that has not been seen there since Terry Mcqoyern was here. No doubt Crampton thinks this morning that Hinderer is capable in his line. Persons who described this little one act tragedy say that when Hinderei struck Crampton, Crampton struck out for the stage door and made nasty exit in the direction of his dressing
 This ia why Roberta Humes regards Charles HNuderer as hero this morning This is why Howard CramDton, stage name "Snifkins," has sore face this morning. Seymour. singer. got lost in the melee.
