LOW TIDE FOR BLACKMAIL. SHAKE DOWNS A

works. 1t had begun to look a little as If Mr.
Wilson's future career to consist Of perform
ances of one old part in many suits Of clothes He
did something last night toward lifting himself
out OF that dangerous rut by adding to his repor-
tory a part rather small indeed. but more amusing
than almost anything else which he has done since
the palmy days of "Ermnie"
Mr.. Wilson appeared last night Sammy Gigg,
footmar, In musical farce entitled The Tore
ador' at the Knickerbocker Theatre, The imper-
sonation was 4 welcome relief from the long line
of kings and other fabulous Oriental and medieval
monsters which has long engaged his attention
It is to be feared that too much of the part would
pail, but there much of il, and in
what there Mr.. Wilson amusing in
appearance, manner, action and speech. 1t has
always been said that Mr. Wilson acts with his
legs. So he always has and he does still, and
they and the OF his anatomy have seldom
been funnier than they last night.
Almost pleasing performance given by
Joseph Coyne, Sir Archibald Slackett. Bart.
This part acted IN London by George Gros-
smith jr. and any one who remembered his quiet
drolery and delicious comic repose could well
imagine what he would make of It. But Mr.. Coyne
thoroughly competent to perform It, and he
has drollery and repose Of his own. bright and
dainty bit contributed 20 the picture by Miss
Christie Macdonald. and IT was pity that she
was not able add much to the concert Of
voices one Of her songs. however. sung
with charming taste and delicate modulation, II
with great volume
It cannot be said that The Toreador' Itself is
an Intellectual treat but the ntellects OF habtual
theatregoers getting good rest in these days.
and the present farce Is perhaps more conducive
that rest than the others. Its plot Is amusing
at certain stages, though the authors have not
held themselves down TO the plot in any unseemly
manner; the dialogue has It's moments of bright
ness: there are some tunes which content the ear
and may do time passes and the orches-
tras take them up. and the spectacle presented to
the eye is revel OF color. Two scenes are shown.
one in a florists shop and the other In a Spanish
town with a distant view Of mountains and river.
Both are full of brightness and gRyety, and the
same tone is kept up by the dresses.
To see one OF these pieces on the stage one would
think that they ought not TO be hard to make. but
a look at the head Of the programme always shows
that II takes many men to make them. In this
case the contracts were let to the usual number
six They were James T. Tanner and Harry
Nichols for the book Adrian Ross and Percy Green
bank for the lyrics and Ivan Caryll and Lionel
Monkton for the music

natural for NewYork State TO want this money
for the big tax It, but in this case the property
was in Connecticut. where Mr.. Plant had his home

Under the Connecticut law. should the property
be controlled here by the executors under pro-
visions of the will, the State would receive large
succession tax.
