81 The
N~M Theatres

KnickerbOcker Theatre.

The best comic opera in years, is
what New York is enthusiastically
calling Manager Charles b. Dilling-
hams brilliant production of Mile.
Modiste," the new musical success
o at the Knickerbocker Theatre,
with piquant little FRITZ Scheff it's
bright particular star.
Produced initially but a fortnight
ago, it has already taken first place
in the affections of the light opera
lovers of the metropolis. The pro-
duction's success is of the big and
popular kind.
Miss Scheff's society following,
carried with her from her grand OPP
era triumphs, has crowded the Knick-
erbocker nightly since the gay little
singers advent there.
Never before has the lyrical little
princess been so snugly fitted with a
role. Her Partisan shopgirl who
turns prima donna is a wistful,
sweet, lovable creation, whether she
is selling bonnets or bowling to the
stage plaudits Of her admirers.
In his book and lyrics, Henry
Blossom has done the best work of
his career, and Victor Herbert, the
composer of the score, has nothing
else quite so merry and clever to his
credit.
New Amsterdam.
Fay Templeton has made a sensa-
tional hit at the New Amsterdam
Theatre in Klaw & Changers pro-
duction of George M. Cohan's new
music play as Minutes From Broad
way" Her first week in New York
showed receipts of over $4,000, which
indicates the number of people who
say her most inimitable impersona-
ton of Mary, the housemaid." This
is the first serious part Miss Temple
ton has acted in many years and is a
most interesting exposition of the
great talent which has led her to be
regarded as the most artistic actress
in character roles on the American
stage.
'Thc Clansman' Il Hit.
The New York premiere of Rev.
Thomas Dixon, Jr.'s play, THE
Clansman,' took place at the Liberty
Theatre last Monday evening, and
scored a remarkable hit. The house
was packed to the doors and hun
dreds of people were turned away.
The piece took the audience by storm
and proved a powerful melodrama,
dealing in strict historic fidelity with
q great theme-the relation of the
white and the colored people in South
Carolina in 1867 and the conditions
which led to the formation of the
Ku KluX Khan in that state.
The play is staged in four acts and
five scenes. The first act deals with
the famous election of November

A Friend II, Need.
BY MIxEnyA SPENCER Handy.


When Carlos mother died he was in
deed a friendless boy. No one In the lit
tie village of Italy belonged to the lad and
there was nothing to do but to ask the adj
vice of the police. One of them wrote to
his uncle in far-on America. with the re-
suit that enough money was sent over to
bring the lad to New York
1t did not take long for Carlo to make
his simple preparations. He started when
his few clothes were packed in his carpet
bag and his hand organ strapped over his
shoulder. You think his a strange travel
ing costume? So 1t was. but Carlo s
friends would not have recognized him
without the hand organ. for he had played
1t every day. rain and shine, to earn the
few coins which furnished his mother and
himself with bread
OF course, Carlo dreamed dreams of
what he should do over in that great and
kind America, He would play for the lit
tie children to dance on the streets and
save his money to come back to his loved
and beautiful Italy. 1t was n very hope
full Carlo who waved his farewells from
the deck of the big steamer. and the few
neighbors who had come to wish him
Goodbye felt that he was going To be
great deal better off in wonderful Amer
lea than wandering alone on the streets
of Italy
All went well with Carlo the nrst three
days of the voyage. He made many
friends among the children of the steer
age and every day there was ittie
dance on the deck. Carlos hand organ
was the orchestra and the dark-eyed lit
tie foreigners were the dancers. II only
