u7RugYY AT NEW AMSTERDAM.

Another was added last night to the list of re-
vivaIs which have marked the present theatrical
season when at the New Amsterdam Theatre Paul
NJ Potter's dramatization of Du Maurier's well
known novel "Trilby' was presented TO a large au-
dience after interval of ten years from the
period first and only previous in this city.
On April Is. 1885, the late A. NJ. Palmer produced
the play at the Garden Theatre while the novel was
still in vogue.
The present performance is more richly staged
than the previous one, largely owing to the COM
rnodfous stage facilities Of the New Amsterdam, but
otherwise the production is about the same as on
the former occasion. Burr Mcintosh, the original
Taffy has returned to the stage, after consider
able absence, to take up again his old part. OF the
former cast also MISS Virginia Harmed is again
Trilby; Wilton LaCkaye gives his old performance
pears as the Laird; F. w. Morrison, GeckO; Leo
Dietrichstein, Zou Zou; Miss Rosa Rand as Mrs.
BagOt, and Miss Mathildc Cotrelly, Nine. Vi
nard. William COurtenay is the new Little Billee.
4 houseful OF people greeted the revival and
welcomed each Of the leading players with rounds
Of applause, the same demonstration marking the
close of each act.
When the curtain went down the third act the
audience hurled VOlley after VOlley Of manual and
vocal applause at the stage, and nothing would do
but Mr. Lackaye-whO had Just died-must make

characterized tribute to the work Of the late
Mr.. Palmer. ''TriIby," he said, not great
play; it was rather bizarre but Mr. Palmer had
seen its dramatic possibilities and Won his last
