favor the production of She Stoops to
Conquer at the New Amsterdam Thea

LAS a matter of fact, there is nothing
acrobatic in Cousin Billy at all. What
ever the critics may say 1 do not once
fall over or fall down on anything in
the whole three acts. To be sure, in
the first act l have occasion to sit on
a baggage truck, and in excess or emo
ton fan a little way-only very little
way-not more than a few inches into
it. Now that is very different from
humping down a whole flight OF stairs.
It Is not a makeshift at all. Why,
anyone might. with perfect propriety
and good reason, fall into a baggage
truck, while only an experienced actor
and very improbable character would
take chance at tunblng down a

Columbia-"The Sho- Gun"


Henry w. Savage will offer for eight
performances at the Columbia COM
mercirg tomorrow evening. the latest
and one of the most successful comic
operas he has yet produced, 'The Sho-
Gun" fresh from an engagement Of SIX
months at Wallack's Theater, New
York
1.-The "sho-Gun" is the first joint work
Of George Ade and Gustave Luders. and
it is said to be one Of the most pre-
tentious musical offerings the Ameri-
can stage has known in a decade past.
The book and lyrics are written in
Mr. AIDES best vein, and as most all
playgoers are familiar with this. it is
safe TO assume that there is real worth
as far as the literary end OF the produc-
ton is concerned. Gustave Luders has
written king Dodo," Prince of Pill
SEN" and Woodland and those scores
TEEN with brilliant passages. The score
he has provided for Mr. !Ade's book and
lyrics is said to be quite the most tune
full OF all. The most popular Of the new
musical numbers are Your Honeymoon
VIII Last 'Scheming." THE Irre-
pressfble Yank," "Flutter Little Birdie
Il Am Yours Truly and The Sho-
Gun OF Ka-Choo."
The production is staged in the usual
manner SO common with Mr.. Savage,
and every care has been exercised to re-
tain the Oriental atmosphere SO essen

Cousin Billy is a very free adaptation
made by Mr.. Fitch. from the French
original LIE Voyage du Monsieur PER
richon." of Eugene Iabiche. The ingen-
ious Frenchman OF NJ. Labiche's fancy
becomes, in the Fitch play, William
Jenks. of Allentown, Pa, and the last
act is laid in that Pennsylvania town.
The story of the play has TO DO with
the adventures of jerks while touring
Europe with his cousin. Mrs. Meade, and
her daughter Kitty. jerks is avowedly
I'm love with Mrs. Meade. and, for her
mart. Kitty has suitors innumerable. The
course Of the different love stories runs
ANYTHING but smoothly, and the compli-
cations which they afford are as nu-
merous as the situations 10 which they
give rise are excruciatingly funny.
.The Little Father of the Wilderness"
presents Mr.. Wilson in the role of Pere
Mariotte, Jesuit missionary returned
to the court of Versailles from that new
France which Pere Marquette and his
heroic associates were then carving out
on the American Continent 1t follows
the regular performance Of Cousin
Billy and will not be seen anywhere

At the Lafayette next week NJ. B.
Raymond will present Augustus Thorn
as Arizona Since this piay was
produced it has. without doubt, made
one OF the most pronounced artistic
and financial successes of this decade.
The heart interest in Arizona" deals
with the love of stern soldier and his
wife, who is at least twenty years
younger than he, and on whom an eX-
citing existence does not pa1l. Her SOL
der husband is Jealous to an
alarming degree, thereby furnishing for
the author an excusabie chance for the
plot of the play. The characters in
troduced are well known TO the public;
Candy, the ranchman. who has made
a success in the beautiful Aravaipa val
ley, near which is situated the fort
which his son-in-law commands: his
two beautiful daughters, his wife, a
ChInaman, a Mexican vaquero, cow
boys ranchmen, etc. A colonel of the
United States Cavalry and captain
