New National Theater.

The National Theater was the scene Of
much merriment last evening when Francis
Wilson appeared in 1.-THE Mountain
Climber" three-act farce by c. Kraatz
and M. Neal. AS purveyor Of mirth Mr..
Wilson has seldom been more successful
here than in his present role of Montague
Sibsey, not even in the old days when the
comedians nimble wit and legs contributed
SO much to the gayety of comic opera and
musical farce. THE Mountain Climber at
no time permits any serious moods on the
part of the audience. and last evening the
play house resounded with continuous out
bursts of laughter and applause. The piece
is filled with amusing situations and COM
plications such as are to be expected in a
piece which deals with the efforts of a gay
prevaricating husband to deceive his unsus-
pecting wife. However, much of the effect
teristic comedy methods of Mr.. Wilson. His
success last evening was attested by the en-
thusiastic applause which greeted his per-
Torrance. At the close of the second act
the star responded wittily to repeated calls
for a speech. Chief among the supporting
company is Miss May Robson, whose en-
trance on the stage was greeted by an ova-
ity. Miss Robson had the role of the trust
ing Mrs Sibsey, who believes her husband
to be the famous Alpine climber that he
represents himself to be and who worships
him for his supposed courage. Joseph Allen
won favor in his portrayal of Samuel Midg-
ham, and Joseph Brennan as Swiss guide
and Miss Jane Gordon, his daughter,
gave creditable performances. Others Of the
cast whose work was deserving of especial
mention were Frank Goldsmith, George
Irving Sidney Rice, Miss Edna Bruins and
Miss Ellen Mortimer.

Chase's Theater.

The lovers of grand opera who attended
the performance at Chase's Theater last
night heartily enjoyed the production of
two scenes from II Trovatore by the LIE
Brun Grand Opera trio. The scenes were
prettily staged and the singing of Nine.
Antoinette LIE Brun, soprano; Mr.. James F..
Stevens, barytone, and Mr.. Fritz N. HUT
mann, tenor, was pronounced of high or
der. Another number on, the program that
called forth laughter and applause was the
comedy sketch, 1.-TWO Hundred Wives" by
John Hyams and Leila Mcintyre. Miss Nc
Intyre made decided hit in her impersona-
tons of shy little school girl, with baby.
hood songs and Rotations. The one act
album Of New York snapshots, 1.-THE Lady
and the Cabby,' gave Miss Stuart an OPP
portunity to display her versatility i'll pre-
senting approximations of actresses well
known on. the vaudeville stage. Mabelle
Adams with her soulful violin scored a sue
cess as 1.-The Waif Violinist." Pongo and
Leo. the aerial comics; Bertholdy's troupe
Of performing cockatoos, and Charley Case
in his comic conversation were well re-
ceived and generously applauded.

Majestic Theater.

1.-The Square Dear' is the rather pertinent
title of a so-called political comedy drama
that was presented at the Majestic last
evening before a scattering audience. The
satire on political conditions was written
by Edward E. Rose, and it is decidedly
after the recent efforts of George AIDE in
his attempt to satirize the political life OF
the country. All told, the little work Is OF
more than passing interest. While the dra-
matte structure is somewhat flimsy, there
is much to popularize the skit.
The story hinges on an election in the
classic and historic city of Gridley, in
Coffee, county, Kan. There Is a villain OF
would-be statesman in the person of one
David Wardley, who has all the character
istics of a boss" including the usual
laxity Of principle. On the other hand
Hannibal Hawkins Is the honest, clean
competitor and high-minded gentleman that
one occasionally sees in political conditions
especially on the stage. There u.s. Of course
a sweetheart and the usual love scheme
Otis B. Thayer, in the role Of Hannibal
Hawkins, proved a decidedly clever come
dian. The heroine, in the person of Miss
Ruth Leighton, the country schoolmis-
tress. by Miss Clara Knott, made hit with
the audience The third act Of THE Square
Deal, picturing the country election with
much fervor and heat on both sides, is en-
tertaining.

New Lyceum Theater.

''The Twentieth Century Maids" al
though presented in the conventional guise
of burlesque at the New Lyceum Theater
this week, has points Of more than Or
binary interest to commend it. The opening
and closing skits. The Twentieth Century
Maids Reception and the Putting Down
Of the Beef Trust reveal more consistency
and originality than are usually to be
found in a work of this kind. and reflects
credit on the skill Of w. ]. Kerngood, for
merly Of this city, who composed the lion s
share Of the music. The manager Maury
Krause. has displayed great liberality in
costuming the various choruses which are
rendered with a sprightly tunefulness by a
more than usually efficient chorus Of sing
ers. Miss Toma Hanlon, as the leader OF
the feminine forces, is pleasing figure OF
the scene. Joe Watson sings parodies and
tells funny stories with excellent effect.
The olio includes some novel and amusing
specialttes.

Belasco Theater.

The contagious humor Of Julie Bonbon at
the Belasco last evening kept large au-
dience in a constant ripple of laughter.
Miss Lipman's comedy affords sentertain-
ing story, clever situations, fun, pathos,
simple farce and subtle characterization.
Parts Of the play are truly feminine. Mere
ly masculine powers Of observation are not
ordinarily able to get hold of the amenities
that mark the scene of the millinery shop

Yorks restaurants. moreover. as a setting
for the climax of the third act. where a
young scion of one of Manhattan's Oldest
and wealthiest families, repudiates his lit
tie milliner. is a particularly effective bit of
staging.
At the close of the scene last evening,
after repeated curtain calls for Julie and
Papa Poujol, Mr.. Mann responded. almost
regretting the necessity OF speaking out of
character and acknowledging the pleasure
of playing return engagement. That
moment. however. gave the audience an
opportunity to appreciate the complete skill
