Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Considerable
vim is being displayed by our leading
managers in the production of new
plays and the New York theaters fur
nish plenty of opportunity for criti-
cisn, favorable and otherwise, at the
moment.
At the Garden theater Mrs. Patrick
Campbell, after a brief temperance
in t1The Second Mrs. Tanqueray,' APP
pears in the first production Of an en-
tirely new play based on Sudermann's
"Es Lebe Las Leben," Englished as
'"The Joy Of Living"
The play holds the mirror UP to ma
ture in aristocratic Prussian life. The,
details of such a story can almost be
imagined as they show up that same
shamelessnesS of morals in high life
which forms the motif for so many
current plays. The story is naturally
interpreted with great delicacy and
characteristic force by Mrs. Campbell.
"Everyman, a morality play, has
been produced by Charles Frohman at
Mendelssohn hall. Mr.. Frohrnan's rea-
son for producing it there instead Of
at one of his many theaters was that
the play requires peculiar treatment. It
is of a religious nature, having been
originally written for production in the
churches, and every attempt will be
made to deprive it Of the theatrical
atmosphere which necessarily attaches
Itself to a t11eater proper The scenic
10 in TCr,c for n of
models discovered by the Elizabethan
State society, Of England, and 1t is said
to be identical with the crude but i'm
pressive effects used in the sixteenth
century.
Everybody seems to be talking about
Iris" and her story and what becomes
Of her is food for discussion almost
everywhere. Miss Harmed has made a
great impression in her portrayal Of
the heroine, at the Criterion. Oscar
Asche gives splendid inpersonation
of Maldonado, a character that forms
in itself a unique stage study. The
support could not be equaled.
"His ExceIIency, the Governor"
Miss Jessie Milward and the Eng
lish company which appeared in
There's Many a Slip" at the Garrick
theater, are giving New York theater-
goers an opportunity to again enjoy
ths charming, romantic comedy Ills
Excelleney, the Governor" before their
return to London. They opened in this
play at the Garrick theater on Monday
evening, Oct. 20.
AT the Belasco tffeater Mrs. Leslie
Carter is playing "Du Barry to re-
ceipts that do not vary a dollar night
by night. This means the absolute ca
pacity of the house, and that, though
in her second year in New York, she is
far and away the most popular and
prosperous of this seasons attractions.
1t should not be forgotten that. her
present engagement at Belasco's beau
tiful new play house is strictly limit
ed.
At the Bijou Hearts Afame," which
goes on the road, has been succeeded
by Madeline Lucette Ryley's new play,
can American INVASION" with ]. E.
Dodson and Annie Irish in the star
roles.
Miss Alice Fischer in the rollickng
fareial comedy, Mrs. Jack" is divid-
ing honors with Creatore and his Ital-
ian military band at the Victoria the
alter, where the magnetic coincidence
and the inspiring leader are meeting
with rousing receptions from large and
enthusiastic audiences. The combina-
ton of play and concert has proved a
happy one.
On Monday evening, Oct. 81, occur
red the 150th performance Of "a Chi
nese Honeymoon at the Casino the
alter. There were twenty-four perform
ances in Philadelphia before the Casino
engagement began, so the 200th per-
Torrance of the Sam S. Shubert and
p linn, IN n
America will be reached the latter part
of next month.
Hagenheck Makes Hit.
Carl Hagenbeck has presented his in
teresting groups of marvelously train
ed animals at the New York. theater.
They made a hit that has never been
equaled by any similar exhibition in the
history of the metropolis. The disci-
pline and intelligence displayed by the
large number of animals shown were
remarkable. Finer specimens Of the
brute creation were never seen in cap
tivity. The numbers on the programme
which attracted special attention,
among the many superb features dis
played, were the seven great polar
bears, hitherto supposed to be animals
of the lowest intelligence, and were
shown in a series of remarkable tricks
by their trainer. Prof. Dudak, who
wrestled with the 700-pound "Mufe."
The power of control this man exer-
cised over the giants Of the polar crea-
ton was amazing. A feature which
made tremendous sensation was the
great group of three lions, three tigers,
a hybrid (half lion and half tiger),
two Ieopards, two pumas, two jaguars,
two polar bears and five German boar
hounds, all under the control of one
man.
The appearance of Weldon Gros-
smith in "The Night of the Party" at
the new Princess, gives that theater a
splendid starter. This sparkling lit
tie comedy, which has already been a
London success, has made an immedi-
ate hit AS a matter of fact, scarcely
anything else could be expected of Mr..
Grossmith.
1'Tne Only Way"
At the Herald Square theater ''The
Emerald ISLE" after a very prosperous
run, has been succeeded by THE Only
Way" a powerful dramatic version of
Dickens "a Tale of Two Cities" in
which Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger pre-
sent Mr. Martin Harvey and his clever
London company.
At the Eden Musee, that amusement
resort peculiar to itself, Wizard Bau-.
tier de Kolta has proved his claim to
rank with the best of illusionists. His
dexterity in legerdemain nlystifies the
Oldest witnesses of wonder, and he is
just as good with the big puzzles. The
wizard has vastly improved since his
first appearance at the Eden Musee
several years ago, and produces new
things nightly.
Belasco's new play, sThe Garden of
the Gods will first be produced at
the new National theater, Washing
