The Lyceum Theatre was we'll filled
at the opening production OF "Rldnap-
ped in New York" last night and there
have been few audiences that have left
the playhouse better pleased. There are
many specialties introduced through
out the piece. Barney Gilmore, as Jack
Dooley, does some clever work, but
sings so well that the audience would
rather hear him sing than act Dan
Reklaw also makes distinction with the
audience chiefly though his wonderful
trick bicycle riding. Tony Pearl. as an
Italian, Is a rather weak Italian. but
when he plays a sweet toned harp and
later cello and appears I'm a musical
sketch with Hal Montgomery. Il is the
old story again and the audience wants
to hear them play and cares little for
the acting. Grace Euler as Crullers,
Miss Regina Donnelly as Brandon,
both do good work Baby Marion Hand
as Baby Clark is really a remarkable
child and wins the hearts OF the audi
ence from the start. Altogether the
performance is pleasing and there are
no dun periods kidnapped in New
York; will remain at the Lyceum today
and tomorrow.

Charles r. Hanford IN the title role
Of Don Caesar de Bazan" scored
hit at the Opera House last night I'm
the FIRST production Of the piece with
Miss Marie Drofnah as the star. Con-
sidering II was the first production OF
the piece il went Off smoothly. The
acting Of Mr., Hanford as the rollick-
ing gentleman OF Spain was as natural
as could be. He seemed to infuse a
new life into the character. but the
support was not all It might have been.
Frank Henning In his delneation OF
Don Jose was well received, while Miss
Drofnah, as Maritana, the gypsy. was
clever. Taken altogether, however, the
performance was a creditable one for
the first and the audience went home
pleased, which, after all, is the thing
most desired.
