1.-The Auctioneer,' with David Warfield in
the part of Simon Levi, was one of the few
successes of the season in New York. The
play will be presented next Wednesday
and Thursday at Englishs. 1t is descriptive
of life in the ghetto of New York, and Mr..
Warfields role is that of old auctioneer
that rises from poverty TO affluence and
then loses his means. From reports ii is
fine bit of Characterization. Mr.. Warfeld's
most recent visit TO this city was as a mem
Der of Weber & Fields's company. AS
burlesquer of the Iiddish type he has not
been equaled, and the "Auctioneer" gives
him an opportunity TO show what he can
do seriously. So few studies of life are
now to be found i'm the theater that Mr..
Warfields performance probably will prove
to be refreshing and profitable
