Bingham is good put there are still many steps on the ladder of fame be- fore she will reach the top. Clyde Fitch has reached that point in his ca reer as a playwright where he must be careful or there will come a time when his name will not be noticed He is dangerously near descent, and he will find that his name alone will not draw large houses. In .3The Bird In the Cage" MT. Fitch met a blow from the critics. The play could not be taken seriously, and now he gives us "The F'risky Mrs. Johnson.' Much that is good and many bright lines are there, but much, too, is commonplace, and many lines are unnecessarily coarse and vulgar. The first act is almost hopless, and the well wishers of Miss Bingham must have deplored her choice of vehicle at this point. The second act showed some admirable situations and caused the audience to sit up and wait for something good. It came and by the time the last curtain fell the verdict was favora ble. The cast could not be improved, and each person, al- most without exception, played the role assigned without a flaw. The frisky Mrs. Johnson (Miss Bingham) is really the only woman on the stage except her maid who is above reproach. Her 'frislSiness'' makes people talk, but she is all right The three other women. real married ladies, are types one would not care to copy, and even the adored little sister Mrs. Frank Morley (Minnie Dupree), is fallen angel. To shield this sister Mrs. Johnson assumes guilt which is disclosed to the husband through letter intended for his wife and which he insists upon seeing The letter is not addressed, but has been received by Mrs. Morley, and the cli- max is averted by the accidental en- trance of the loving but frisky Mrs. Johnson. It is not hard to believe evil of this unselfish woman, and the sac rifice is made before the erring wife quite grasps the situation. An empty headed idiot, Lord Bertie Heathcote, has been the panacea for ennui used by the young wife while her busy husband as out, and his letter telling her of

 The elongated auto is to be used by the daring Frenchman in the races to be held during the spring and summer, and he will bring it to the United States when in July he comes oyer to partici- pate in a match contest With Alexan- der Winton, the noted racer of Cleve- land. Winton hopes to defeat Four nier, and rivalry between the two ex- perts is very intense. The race will probably occur on the splendid Empire City trotting track, built by the late w. H.

One of the novelties 1n it's construction is the fact that it pro- vides seating room for but a single man. Fournier, therefore, will have no as- sistant when he endeavors to chop down the seconds. The seat is perched over the rear axle and is so arranged down in the very heart of the control ling apparatus that only the head and shoulders of the occupant will be visi- ble.

 q have no hesitation in telling you that I have often travelled at the rate of mile in forty seconds, though not for a long distance.
 "So far as the ultimate speed of the auto is concerned I will not undertake to predict" Here Fournier shrugged his shoulders and added, "Only when I am about to die shall I be prepared to admit that I shall not see the worlds record lowered still further"

as now she uses her maiden name, liar Tiet Fordyce. When he is forced to as sume family troubles and finally pay alimony, the net closes so tightly around him that unraveling is neces- sary. All ends happily, and the whole is so full of spice, repartee and stolid English stupidity that the audience is dismissed delighted. Senator Barker played by Robert McWade, and Arthur Weatherbee, by John w. Dean, were lifelike, and the rest of the cast was good. The setting of the palm room in the first act and the Turkish room in the last were miniature copies of the same apartments in the famous hotel.
 ''The Bold SOger Boy."
 Andrew Mack, the sweet singer and fair actor, is again at the Fourteenth Street theater. This time he is playing ''The Bold Soger Boy," by Theodore Burt Sayre. There is enough of the Irishman in the character of Gerald Adair to please those who always asso- ciate Andrew Mack with such parts, but this young soldier is Desmond Clair from Ireland, who has by his bravery won the position of lieutenant in the regular army of this country, and the scene is laid at Fort Wadsworth, near New York. Some sweet songs are giv- en by the star in his usual agreeable way, with the accompaniment of chill dren and a pretty sweetheart. There are no less than four of these-I mean children, not sweethearts-and two of them are quite bright. The little girl who is made to utter the sentiments on love suitable to woman is cute and acts well the lovesick girl, who at last wins the man of her heart when she, be- comes engaged to Gerald Adair.

idea is as old as Adam, but the ham ding is where Clyde Fitch shows his skill. He has done so in some places, and then the play rises to high grade of merit. In others it falls and be- comes weak and almost like farce. It is needless to mention individuals, all were so good, if I except Allison Skip worth, but the best in the cast was Ferdinand Gottschalk. As Lord Bertie Heathcote he could not be improved upon. It is amazing how many actors can play the fool well. There are four different kinds of fool in this play, and all were we'll done. That is a little too much sugar in the coffee.
 tsThe Earl of Pavvtucl<et."
 That best of modern playwrights Au- gustus Thomas, has given us another very excellent comedy called "The Earl of Pawtucket," and it's success at the Madison Square theater is assured. Englishmen as portrayed on the Amer ican stage are usually such silly idiots it would appear there are no sensible men in England, and, this being false, it is a pleasure to at last see one who is both sensible and gentleman. Angus tus Thomas wrote his play with Law renee D'Orsayt as his model for Lord Darlington, the earl of Pawtucket, and the actor has only to be himself, and the hit is made. Slow to see our Amer ican jokes. the points of all those in the play being directed against himself many roaringly funny moments are af- forded. His determined way of persist ing in his use of an alias. which mixes him up in the lenders family affairs and his tangle before he understands it all are side splitting, and one continu- ous laugh is enjoyed the entire even- ing. The best criticism of the play as to it's intrinsic merit is that when a laugh causes the loss of a line the feel ing that something good has been missed is unavoidable. The author is to be congratulated that his work is in the hands of such 8 capable exponent. Elizabeth Tyree as Harriet Fordyce, the divorced wife of Montgomery Put nam, is very pleasing, and, while for her the opportunity is not as good as

He stated his position as a repres-

only assisted in enforcing the rules.
He desired that every member &C.
quaint himself with the rules and live
up to them. If the rules were not what
