The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1905-10-31

| With the endorsement of over 500 per.
formers at the Apollo Theatre in London,
one of the greatest records of success
ever made in that city, George Edwardes
English company in "Veronique" opened
run at the Broadway Theatre, New
York, last evening. This Organization,
headed by John lie Hay, Lawrence Rea.
Aubrey Fitzgerald, Ralph Marry, John
Malcolm, James Grant, Ruth vincent,
Kitty Gordon, Lena Maitland, Valli Valli,
Deborah Volar and Agnes Vincent, ar
rived in New York last Monday on the
steamship Umbria. "Veronique" was first
presented in London in the French and
made such a hit that Mr.. Edwardes had it
translated into English and produced it
at the Apollo Theatre. Its success was
tremendous and from the first perform
ance till the company sailed for America
1t is one of the brightest and most artis-
tically beautiful productions ever staged
in London, and it is expected that it will
score similar success here. Seats may
be secured by mail or telegraph.
One of the biggest successes scored at
the Herald Square Theatre, New York,
in many years has been made by Joseph
Cawthorn, the German dialect comedian,
J. McNally's new musical comedy, "Fritz
in Tammany Hail." From its title it
might be inferred that this is a politi-
cal comedy, but such is not the fact.
The only smattering of politics in it comes
from the incident of the plot that Fritz
Won Swobenfritz, an East side German
baker, played by Mr. Cawthorn, is nomi-
mated by the Tammany machine for
alderman as a district exigency and is
Unexpectedly elected. On this episode
is built up very comic musical play,
teeming with novelties. The piece is pre-
sented in three acts, with scenes showing
Cooper Union, Donnelly's Grove at Col
lege Point, L. l., and the ball room in
Tammany Hall. Mr.. Cawthorn is sup.
ported by a company of 1876 people.
The principals include Mark Hart, Sue
Stuart, Julius M. Tanner, Frank Shea
Ada Lewis, Neva Aymar, George Austin
Moore, Susanne Halpren, Melville Ellis
and Stella Mawhew, the coincidence.
The opening performance of Klaw &
changers coming big Drury Lane spec
tacular production, THE White Cat,
at the New Amsterdam Theatre, New
York, has been postponed from last
evening till Thursday, November End.
This is the largest and most magnificent
Drury Lane effort that Klaw & Erlanger
have ever undertaken. The early part
of next week the New Amsterdam Thea
tire stage will be given over to full dress
rehearsals. Seats may be ordered by mail,
accompanied by remittance.
Mcintyre and Heath in the great laugh
ing hit, "The Ham Tree" have but
three more weeks at the New York
Theatre. They end their engagement
2ofn I'd har
and will be followed by George M. Cohan
in Little Johnny JONES'" his fourth
engagement at this house. 'The Ham
Tree" is the biggest popular price show
ever presented in New York and the great
est comic success in years. Seats are on
sale for all remaining performances.
The Rogers Brothers, in "The Rogers
Brothers in Ireland, ended their long run
at the Liberty Theatre. Saturday evening,
and will be followed by Marie Cahill in
D. " Arthur's production of Moon
shine" Miss Cahill is one of the clever
est players on the stage and enjoys great
popularity in New York Her production
is magniicently staged and her supporting
cast excellent. Should the verdict of the
Western cities be duplicated in New York
"Moonshine" will prove the sensation
of the year. Its hit up to date is most en-
phatic, and cannot be denied. The match |
which started the blaze of glory for Miss
Cahill and her play seems to have been
the striking character of her evident at
tempt at refined work in class of play
which has heretofore been associated with |
only the vulgar. With this as her motive |
she deserves success and the praise of her
and Daniel v. Arthur must be unlimited |
The improvement of the musical comedy |
has been looked on az hopeless. 1t looks |
as If "Moonshine" would prove to be a |
miracle.
