Belasco Theater.

Miss Paula Edwardes returned to this city
last night with a new piece entitled "Prin-
cess Beggar." In authorship and compost
ton the work displayed gratifying ten
dency toward a return to the idea of comic
opera which prevailed before vaudeville In
the guise of musical comedy usurped the
lyric stage. Miss Edwardes is given admit
rable opportunity for diversity of talents
in the Princess Beggar," and finds occa-
sion to relieve her comedy by an occa-
sional touch of sentiment. The story IS one
OF romance and chivalry, and the fun is
physician into the realm of Vagaria, where
King Otto xxx maintains a hilarious and
irresponsible sway. The music, by Alfred
G. Robin, fulfJls the promise which his
work as a composer offered in THE Yankee
Consul" The airs are of the distinctly pop
ular variety, and yet in many instances de-
serve to be characterized as musicianly.
The finale of the first act Is noteworthy
bit of work.
Miss EdWardes, whose work retains the
winsonneness of her "Winsome Winnie" and
the humor, without the roughness, of her
Tough Girl of New York" found approval

Bertram Wallis looks princely as ne

the poverty-stricken king, and his medical
advisor Edward M Favor.
