NEW YORK, July 1.-THE summer
theatrical shows in New York keep
merrily on their way. Changes take
place, as they will in all lines of theat-
rical procedure.
For instance, the merry and tune
full "Chaperons," which has proved
such a money winner has vacated it's
regular shrine in the New York thea
ter and moved up onto the roof, where
it is going to be an all-Summer novelty
beyond a doubt.
Miss Eva Tanguay has proven such
a remarkable feature that she alone
could hold the play. New witticiSms
and novelties are introduced into it
every week and with the cleverness
of an absolutely novel plot to carry it,
1.-The Chaperon" will literally and posi-
lively hold the stage on the roof for
the summer. The Sires with their
customary sagatiation have hit upon
a legitimate winner.
"A Chinese Honeymoon" has proved
itself to be the constitutional for the
Casino summer weather institution. 1t
is not too strong to say that the
Honeymoon has many of the features
about it, which while really particular
to themselves characterize THE Mix
ado and prove a cleVerness of plot
and production which bid for continued
success.
The fact is that "A Chinese Honey
moon" is holding forth so successfully
that mail orders for seats from out of
town are in big enough volume to
make a good house Tor the average
theatrical attraction. But the splen-
did production of MeSSrS. S. Shubert
and Nixon & Zimmerman with it's all
stars cast of players IS a much more
expensive affair than even a better
than an average show, so it is neceS-
sary to give Casino patrons a produc-
ton so big, tuneful, smart and merry
that there is never the chance of find
ing an unsold seat after the curtain
goes up on the first act. They have
1T and to spare in "A Chinese Honey
moon"
Productions Strong Points.
In the matter of artistic coloring,
rich costuming and beauty and size of
chorus, the production stands I'M
equalled.
The latest addition to the ranks of
all summer plays on Broadway is the
arrival of a new musical comedy at
the Herald Square theater entitled
1.-THE Defender under the manage
ment of Mr.. a. H. Chamberlain, the
well known Boston manager.
1t is a girl show naturally and brings
to New York another DeVy of BostOn's
sweet incorporates.
The thread upon which the story
hangs is the intense rivalry between a
Yankee and an English yacht, matched
for an international race, and a das-
tardly scheme on the part of the syn
dictate backing the English craft to
disable the American boat by placing
traitor in its crews.
An EngliShman, in love with an
American girl discovers the crooked

Lederer's charming and excellent
musical comedy, THE Wild Rose is
holding its own with q delightful Sc
renity at the Knickeroocxer theater.
It's charm promises to be an endur-
ing one. The packing capacity of the
house has been reached up-to-date.
The fact is that the musical jollities
and catchy tunes are being sung ev-
eryWhere.
The roof garden of the American
theater under the management of
Teddy" Marks has developed into
places in the city.
Walks on Lighted Candles.
One of the chief features is the act
of the magician, TIA Thoma, who walks
on lighted candles and shows other
clever tricks of the prestidigitator
Miss Madge Fox as a vaudeville
favorite fills the bill with her clever
songs.
Among the other performers are
Miss Josephine Sabel, Messrs. John
and Harry Dillon, the Misses Biggar
and Dreher and Miss Lillian Shaw.
The Victoria Roof Garden under the
administration of the immortal Oscar
Hammerstein is replete with amuse-
ment.
New European novelties have been
added. The PiccOlo troupe of midgets,
who dance, sing and enjoy athletics,
form the main feature. There are al
so, new songs and dances of a char
acter which shows the delicacy of the
human movement with clever garment
