Majestic Theater.

1.-The Girl and the Gambler is the name
of musical drama, in which Florence
Bindley is appearing this week at the Ma
jestic Theater. The production has been
amply staged. and Miss Bindley is given
good support throughout. The dominating
notes Of the story are love and adventure,
and the succession of suspense and climax
is kept up through four acts. Florence
Bindley's role is that of ''the little burg
lar" She enters into 1t with all her heart
and succeeds in pleasing her audience COM
pletely. Other prominent persons in the
list of players are Darwin Karr, Bgelow
Cooper. Arthur E. Klein, Tobie Lyons, Lii
liam Goldsmith, linda Palmer and Anne
Leonard. The time Of the story is the pres
ent, and the scenes familiar ones in the
eastern part of this country. Miss Bindley's
successes in other directions have not caused
her musical talents to be lost sight Of by
her management or the public. number of
selections being introduced. The perform
ance is a novelty in that it is blending Of
music and melodrama.

New National Theater,

"Babes in Toyland" at the National last
evening drew an audience which forgot the
rigors Of temperature in the joyous antics
of old acquaintance from the realm of
Mother Goose. Many musical comedies are
provocative of diversion, but "Toyland,"
with some Of Victor Herbert's most charac-
teristic music is provocative of youth; and
in that magicai influence it is even more a
joy to the mature than source Of wonder
ment to the young. 1t was distinct stroke
of genius on the part of the producers to
conceive the march Of the toy soldiers and
the military ball. The magic OF the piece
is not alone In the power of the spirits and
fairies that protect Alan and Jane from the
evil designs of old Barnaby, through which
they escape the bears in the enchanted
wood and malicious demons, raging tor
rents and volcanoes, but in the glamour
which resuscftates the bliss of children.
Everybody in fancy for an hour or so is
young again.
Ignacio Martinetti brought to the part of
Alan a zest and buoyancy that did much to
produce the Illusion, and Katherine Murray
as Tom Tom sang charmingly. The men
in general were competent, and Gertrude
Barthold as Jane made a most capable
companion to Alan, both excelling in song,
dance and light comedy. Little Contrary
Mary was presented by Grace Hazard with
graceful piQuancy.
