attractions of the year. The story Is almost
entirely humorous. even the few serious in
cidents being given a comic aspect by the
ludicrously serious way they are presented.
Mr.. Wilson'S part Of Sammy. Gigg gives
him wide scope to display his versatility
and to introduce that peculiar style of stage
humor for which he is noted He proves
himself exceptionally strong In the scenes
where the timid and somewhat unsophisti-
Gated footman finds himself involuntarily
posing as the champion bull fighter Of
Spain, with six angry bulls awaiting him
in the arena and horde Of fire-eating con-
spirators at his heels insisting that he shall
lead Carlist revolution. The role has also
sentimental side. Sammy loves Susan. the
flower girl, to whom he writes atrociously
constructed seNnets. Messrs. Nixon & Zirn-
norman have provided elaborate and
effective stage production; the scene of the
piece being laid in France and Spain gives
splendid opportunity for this. 1t will be
presented by an exceptionally strong COM
pany, comprising over 100 people, among
them being Joseph Coyne. Melville Ellis,
William Blaisdell, Robert A. Evans, Joseph
Rathcliffe, William Broderick, Joseph Fay,
Christie Macdonald. Carolyn Gordon, Clara
Bell Jerome. Miriam Lawrence and Nora

1t takes no stretch OF the imagination after
this to find the old squire under whose ley
exterior beats warm heart, waiting and
watching through the early hours Of the
night for the return of the girl and the son
who has followed her.
The happy denouement Of the play Is the
more pleasing to auditors because 1t comes
as the logical elimination to an entirely
natural sequence OF events.
William A. Brady's company has been al
tered but little during the six years the
play has been on the road. Phoebe Davies

The interest felt during theatrical en-

element of suspense in the drama per-

opposite quality. The characters In the

The performance of Gabrilowitseh was
peculiarly interesting to those who had
heard him year before. He then displayed
q oehcacy and hnesse which pleased the
finer sense. His work this week created
an impression that he was trying to attain
more vigorous style of performance. 1t
would be pity If this young and gifted
artist should be tempted to sacrifice the
daintiness and poetic charm, the native
refinement. which characterize his spon,a-
heous performances. in an effort to attain

doubtedly be told that he lacks vieor. But
