 "The Waifs of New York"
 Katie Emmett's well known play will be seen at the Montgomery Theater, Fri day night.
 Bright. chic. merry Katie Emmett has toured with this play for a number of seasons, and always with the most phe- nomenal success. It Is a play in which love, loyalty. intrigue and sensation have been deftly blended.
 The central character Willie Rufus played by Miss Emmett. Is a character study. pert, saucy and fearless, boy! with boys instincts and attributes, his love for the little waif Gertie endears him to every one. his sterling loyalty to his friends makes you love him, and yet there Is never moment in the play when you forget that he Is a boy, edu- cated in the gutter and grown in the streets, always ready for practical joke or witty retort and wholly lacking in deference for the honorable judge of the court when he is placed on the witness stand to testify. Miss Emmett's boy is an enjoyable one of the kind that makes you laugh at his seeming impertinence and a moment later applaud his straight forward heroic action.
 ''The Waifs of New York" will appar- ently go on forever, pleasing large au- diences nightly.
 Mansfield's "olds Heidelburg."
 Richard Mansfield will dedicate the new Lyric Theatre on 42d Street in New York on Monday evening October 12. presenting an elaborate production of the original European version of "old Heidelberg"
 The play is by Herr Wilhelm Forster Meyer and was originally produced at the Berliner Theatre, Berlin, November 22 1901. Since then 1t has been translated into nearly every modern language and has been played in every country in Eu- rope.
 George Alexander played 1t continuously from January to July in London. It is declared to be one of the most charming comedies ever written in German. for though the story if told in series of ep- isodes. all the characters wer so natural " anu GdSliy uTdWn IIldI Iue puDhC tuOh to the work at once The chief interest centers round the young Prince. heir to a small principality. who has been brought up alone by his old uncle. He has only one friend his tutor, who escorts him ev- anywhere and who endeavors to instil life into his somewhat turgid nature. The Prince Is finally sent to take a degree at the University of Heidelberg and some of the most delightful scenes in the play re- fleet the mirth and music of German stu dent corps life. Kathie. the daughter of the landlord of the hotel where they stop falls in love with Karl. As a student he is the best of fellows and works like a Trojan. He is in paradise all the time he is at Heidelberg, and the scenes here are of the most idyllic nature. Then he Is recalled home. His love dream Is over and he has to settle down as tho reign ing prince, d sadder man, for his beloved Kathie becomes betrothed and marries, and of course, the two have to part for ever.
 Mansfield will be seen as the Prince Karl Heinrich. q role akin to his Beau caire and Prince Karl in Its buoyancy and comedy. but not at all like them.
