NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The re-opening
of Mrs. Osborne's playhouse under the
management of Frank Lea Short was
perhaps the most important work of the
past week, although the critics gave
sparse support to the first production.
Romeo and Juliet" exactly as in the
DAYS of Shakespeare" was the attrac-
tion. The stage has been remodeled
into a production of the Swan Theater.
at which many OF Shakespeare's plays
were originally presented. Every detail
of the curious customs of the playhouse
Of the seventeenth century was followed,
even to the seating Of gallants upon the
stage. The proposition is to vary the
bill weekly, using probably some of the
fifteenth century morality and mystery
plays. New York should certainly have
room for such an oddity.
Annie Russell appears to have play
excellently suited to her temperament
and talents in mice and Men, Mrs.
Madeline Lucette Ryley's latest effort.
The period of the play is the eighteenth
century. Its story concerns the unsuc-
cessful efforts of Mark Embury, a
scholar. scientist and study that Mrs.
Burnett has yet given us withal it be
not too sad.
Its story of the bitter experiences of
little Sara Crewe I'm the hypocriticcl Miss

directly to grown people than to child

children.
But the actors are not all child actors,
although many of them are. Miss Millie
James, who impersonates the little hero
ine and exactly suggests a child Of about
twelve years, is really a woman well
along in the twenties. In her particu-
lar branch of stage art she has no equal
