The saying among the residents of New
York city is that if you want to find a per-
son and you do not know his address you
will meet him in the park at Union Square
ii you wait there long enough. That is es-
pecially true in the case of the homeless,
who wander to the green lawns to find rest
on the benches beneath the trees, where
they spend the warm summer nights The
scenes of many theatrical productions have
been laid in the parks of New York city,
and Joseph LeBrant has placed one Of the
scenes of his comedy drama, Not Guilty"
in the park at Union Square, showing hui
mainly from every walk of life. Migrants
without homes seen sleeping in every
ina ginable attitude, the police conduct a
raid. and the judge VINO presides over the

New National Theater.

The Babes in Toyland' romped and sang
their way into the hearts of delighted au
dience last night at the New National The
musical comedy features were numerous,
and were enacted amid surroundings of
scenic spendor akin to the climax of the
stagemaster's endeavor. The Toyland adj
ventures of the Babes lead through pro-
logue IN two scenes and three acts, the first
and second being divided into four scenes
while the last, the royal court of the toy
kingdom, is complete in itself. 1t would
be difficult task to recall all the incidents
of the production. When it was through
enc felt that not one, but a series of pro-
auctions had been witnessed and to trace
back the happenings to the opening scene
of the prologue was task no one dared at
tempt. The impression, however, of the
Offering as whole was lasting 1t was one
of fairy realms in exemplification of child
hood fancieS, of tuneful music, laughing
faces and beautiful electrical effects. Toy
land was, indeed, a place to fascinate. One
met such old friends as Jack and Jill, Con-
trary Mary, Little Bo-Peep, the careless
shepherd, Simple Simon, Tommy Tucker
Little Boy Blue. Bobby Shaftoe Mss Muf-
fet, Curly Locks, Red Riding Hood, their
new companions. Jane and Alan, and their
mean and misery old Uncle Barnaby. The
story of the play is quite we'll sustained
throughout. Glen Marlborough IS the au-
thor of the libretto, and has done all his
contract requred-an acceptable scheme
for scenic establishment and tendency
to laughter OF the songs and dances there
is much to be said. Probably the most
striking feature of the entertainment was
the toy soldier march and military ball in
the second act. William Norris, who as
Alan. is the central figure, appeared as the
wooden captain. His work and that of the
others in the march was serious and splen-
did The soldiers looked for all the world
as though they had just stepped from one
of those little arks so well remembered by
all children There We're many other
charming "reminiscences of childhood in
Babes in Toyland." The gathering of all
the familiar characters of Mother Goose"
and other story books on the garden wall
brought happy memory smiles to all the
audience. 1t was privilege to glance back
at the audience during this scene. There
was not face where smiles were not play

HE THEAT E R.
Columbia Theater.

1.-The Sultan of Sulu' was performed at
the Columbia Theater last night before an
audience that included a number Of people
who prominent in public affairs. Ru-
NOR has spoken we'll of the production, and
there was an enthusiastic welcome waiting
for this. the first musical comedy Of the
sea son.
The sultan displays a true oriental rever-
ence for precedent. He revels in gorgeously
impossible costumes, and gets into the
matrimonial predicaments which have been
common to potentates ever since musical
comedy was discovered. AS impersonated
by Mr. Frank Moulan he is suave, pa
tent and harmless person. When the
American soliery appears for the purpose
of subjugating him his only resistance is
to get out on his front door step and sing:
Il not ready to say goodbye.
And I'm mighty sorry that have to die
Like most patient men he is greatly inn
posed upon and he preserves the traditions
of his kind by taking refuge in drink. 1t
is not rollcking Isle of Champagne bib
uous festival. 1t is on the morning after
that the character chiefly dwells. The song
in which "Remorse" is SO keen that he is
not content with pronouncing 1t, but must
spell it, is one of the distinct hits of the
play.
There are occasional illusions to things
In current affairs, but they not suf-
ficiently pointed or numerous to give the
piece rank as satire. 1t is one OF the
adaptable and obligng efforts to amuse the
public regardless of the expense involved
in scenery, costumes and auxiliary per-
formers. The Sultan of Sulu" owes its
most conspicuous and it's most engaging
qualities to the and intelligence with
which the producers have followed the path
of the English musical comedy successes.
The finely disciplined singers and marchers.
the daintineSS of the color scheme and the
accuracy with which the music and stage
business have been rehearSed are in large
measure to be credited with the eminently
soothing and satisfactory impression which
the performance creates.
But there is in it an element which is dis
tinctly indigenous. The humor lapses now and
then into the commonplace vernacular with
which is refreshing. The rhymes
have the simple effortless quality which
make them seem like casual conversation
that has accidentally slipped into rythm,
and the music is distinctly and emphatical-
ly clever.
The company includes numerous enter
tanners. the most prominent among whom
are Mr. Moulan, in the title role, Fred
Sultan'S sorrows, even unto Jail, and several
ladies who possess charms of voice, man.
ner and figure The piece will scarcely
satisfy the student of Philippine affairs.
There is every ground for suspicion that
the manners and customs of the people
have been manufacture for farccal pur-
poses. But musical comedies nowadays are
not expected to be either logical nor ethno-
logical The girls must look pretty and
sing; the comedians must be funny, the cos
tunes rich and the music easily impressed
even on the uncultured ear. And all these
things occur abundantly in The Sultan of
Sulu.'

ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF Law.
twenty-five Huckstersr.to Be Tried
Friday Morning Next.

3T1Qdy mOru1u& eN0KC.
Twenty-Five persons have bsen charged
during the past few days with violations Of
the license law in the sale Of produce on the
south side of B street, opposite the Center
market. Jury trials have been demanded
in most of the cases and the descendants are
to appear in the Police Court Friday morn
ing. The crusade against these alleged
hucksters is the result Of complaint made
by the Retail Grocers' Association. and De-
tective Watson and the officers Of the first
precinct have been kept busy in the work
of getting together the testimony. The spe-
cifc allegation against the defendants is
that they sold produce not of their own
raising. 1t is asserted on behalf of the
prosecution that they will have no trouble
in sustaining this allegation.
The "lfne," the space allotted country
people on B street is called, is visited every
morning by the detective and officers and
the movements of the alleged hucksters
watched. Many of the wagons are drawn
to the market space by hand from different
sections of the city, and some of the dealers
do not even make pretense at owning
horses or vehicles. 1t is a common thing
to see wagon drawn to the line by
man and empty boxes placed on the side
walk. Later man or woman will appear
and then the work of stocking the stand be-
gins. Some of the dealers are said to be not
careful about the character of the produce
they purchase, anu therefore cannot Ted-
sonably contend that 1t is of their own
raising. They are said to handle Spanish
and Bermuda onions, celery that is from
the west and apples that are not grown in
this vicinity. Many of the wagons, it is
stated, are kept on the street six days in
the week and are only taken away Satur-
day nights. Some of the displays Of fruits
and vegetables on the stands of the al
legged growers would do credit to any of the
hrSt-clasS stores in the city.
Members of the Retail GrOcerS ASsOcfa-
ton and the police department are interest
ed in the outcome of the cases. The de-
PENDANTS are to be represented by Attorney
Henry E. Davis.

Required to Give Bond.

Ezra p Collins of 102 I'd street southwest
was a defendant in the Police Court this
morning on a charge of making threats
against his wife. Josephine Collins. 1t de-
veloped from the evidence that the couple
are separated and that divorce proceedings
are pending in the upper court. Mrs. Col
Inns resides at 1900 Maryland avenue north
est. She stated to Judge Scott that her
husband came to her house about II o'clock
the night of the 18th instant and made
threats of doing her bodily harm
Collins denied making any threats, and
explained that he called at the house for
the purpose of seeing his little girl who
was in the custody of his wife. He said his
request to see the child was refused, and
that some one in the house fired two shots
from a revolver at him.
The court decided against the defendant
and held him under 500 bonds to keep the
peace.

ChaSe'S,

The reputation of the Orpheum Show
served to crowd Chase's to the doors yes
terday afternoon and last night. The bill
such a varied one that lovers of COM
edy, singing. dancing and athle ties were all
gratifed ,as the very best in these lines We're
on the bill. Mcintyre and Heath were, of
course, the top liners, and although they
were billed as appearing in a new sketch
there little to it that has not been
seen before. But 1T gave the funny pair
chance to work off their well known patter
and that all the audience was looking
for. The laughter was incessant from the
time the men walked on the stage until
the curtain dropped on their act
The novelty of the evening the pam
tomime introducing Prof. Merian's dogs.
The piece presented was called THE VII
lage Drama" the dogs being dressed with
wooden shoes like Swiss peasants, in which
country the scenes were supposed to be
laid. The biggest dog dressed as an elder
ly man comes to the window and discovers
his wife being kissed by another man. Upon
his better halfs return a quarrel follows,
which is realistic and funny. The old man
rushes off to the saloon to get drunk and
while he is gone the lover returns and is
erring spouse The hosting of the lover
into the window is one of the funniest
things imaginable and the house roared.
After a little while the husband starts
home. but is refused admittance. He then
climbs to the second story, jumps through
the little door and the fight begins. to be
wound up with calls for police and the ar
rest of everybody concerned. The scenery
was handled splendidly by Prof. Merriam
and his attendants, and the act scored a
big hit
Other hits on the bill We're Pat Rooney
and Emma Francis in a finished and laugh
able turn; AlbertuS and Jessie Millar, the
comedy jugglers; Victor Moore, assisted
by Emma Littlefield and company, in an
entertaining sketch entitled, Change Your
Act" Ed F. Reynard. in a novel ventrilo-
quist act; the musical Melani Trio, and the

tiger. Congo leopard two polar bears. q
silver puma and three German boar hounds.
Mr.. Boyer has overcome the fierce instincts
of these naturally wild animals to the ex-
tent that they dwell together apparently in
perfect harmony and perform a variety OF
astonishing tricks. The Jester of this queer
congress of animals is the immense South
African lion. "Brutus," whose antics at
ford considerable amusement. The Juggling
seals and sea lions exhibited by Charles
Judge Alaska perform some remarkable
feats of agility and intelligence, and the
act of John Dudak and his seven polar
bears is decidedly interesting. An act that
furnished pleasing diversion in the enter
tainment is that of Lii kerslake and his
performing pigs. Other acts scarcely less
interesting are Anita Gilke and her trained
birds, Vasile Popescu and his elephant and
tiger and Clown Schubert and his unique
goat congress. The performances of two
small fox terriers are features of this latter
act.
