begin a spring tour and VIII
liam A. Brady will make q spe.
cial production at the Savoy Of Il new
play called "Frenzled Finance" by
way OF soothing any possible appre-
tensions II may be stated that this
piece Is not the work of Thomas w,
Lawson of Boston,
The great SUCCESS Of the revival OF
"Boccacciop at the Broadway theater
with FRITZ Scheff In the principal role
cannot, be doubted, The large audi
forum Is packed at every performance
and there Is an almost continual hum Of
appreciation, punctuated by outbursts
OF plaudits. In addition to Miss Scheff' $
large personal success il must be re-
corded that Louis Harrison, the lead
ing comedian of her company, has made
n hit OF exceptionally large proportions.
There Is but one week more Of the
season at the Weber Music hall, and
after that Mr. Weber and his associ-
ates In their diVerting entertainment,
VIII proceed upon their travels, which
are to extend until hot weather. This
year Mr.. Weber will play In the larger
theaters Of the cites visited, which
should be of some commercial value TO
him, He has enjoyed highly prosper
Gus season IN New York
Beginning March 81, Arnold DAILY Is
10 give a brief series OF matinee re-
yivals Of candida" the George Bern
ard shaw play IN which he made his
first success as an actor-manager IN
this city. The evening performances of
you Never Can Tell Will, OF course,

where the audiences are quite as large
as at any time during the long run
of this successful comedy.
At The Majestic theater Buster
Brown Is drawing large crowds IN the
afternoons, but isn't doing much al
night This situation Is due to the fact
that the piece naturally appeals TO the
Juvenile mind and has no very great
attraction for the grown up element,
There Is no break In the extraordln-
airy success of Mrs. Leslie Carter IN
"Adrea" at the Belasco theater Since
the opening Of the season there has
been no single occasion when the
tickets were not all sold out. Al
the rare periods when there have been
a very few empty seats the oondi-
ton was caused by the fact that some
SPECTATOR greedy for abnormal gains,
had not succeeded In entirely unloading
his stock. II seems assured that
"Adrea" win run till weather conditions
become prohibtye, and will be revived
at the opening Of the next amusement
term at the Belasco.
In spite Of the subway strike, which
exercised malign influence upon all
the theaters last week, Lew Dockstader
and his minstrel band stood EN- up
on several evenings at the Grand OPP
era House. Had conditions been unds-
turbed, Dockstader would In all llkel-
hood have pressed the record OF receipts
az this place Of amusement, for his adj
vance sale was considered extraordinary
by the management. As II is, arrange
ments are being made for still another
return visit from the mlnstrels before
the conclusion Of the season.
II Ia now definitely settled that II, s.
Willard win return to this country next
autumn for a much longer tour than
the one he Is at present making, The
regard IN which Mr. Willard Is held has
increased with each recurring visit and
those who control the theater situation
one of the very best attractions now
before the public. lie Will bring back
several new plays next fall. but viii
hardly find II possible to discard THE
Mlddleman" and THE Professors Love
story" the demand for which Is in
slstent and widespread.
Blanche Bates revival Of THE Dar-
ling Of the Gods at the Academy OF
Music is enormously popular, and the
great theater Is more closely crowded
than at any time during the season. The
production scenically, is even more i'm
presslve than II was at the Belasco, the
large stage room Of the academy pre-
senting advantages Of most important
character THE Darling OF the Gods"
wiz In all likelihood continue until the
termination of the amusement period
II Is not probable that Edwin Foy
win remain In vaudeville beyond the
current season. He was saying the
other night that he didn't enjoy that
form Of occupation, as he had anticl-
pated. Twice day" observed
Foy, isn't as easy as it looks. OF
course the actual period OF application
isn't very long but one has to dress
and make up Just as carefully and with
Just as much trouble as though he were
going 10 complete the matinee or eve

The Warheld engagement at the BE
Jou IN THE Music Master" Ia wholly
without abatement. This Is one OF the
extremely fcW heaters IN New York
where the rs. ing room only legend
Is IN constant use and conveys no mis-
information. Probably the opening Of
next September Will see Warneld rO-
Stunning his run. That at least Is the
expectation, and Manager d. II, Roeder
remarks that he anticipates a contnu-
ance Of the engagement throughout the
entire season,
March % Is the date set for the J. T..
Holland benefit at the MetropOltan
Opera House. There have been bitter
times among some OF those engaged IN
