braces such excellent players as
Charles Dalton. Dorothy Dorr, Hell
en- Lowell, Louise CLOSER and Others,
was individually and collectively sat
isfactory to the task imposed by the
playwright.
Miss Paula Edwardes, who was a
Casino favorite long before she be-
came star of musical farce, has re-
turned to the establishment named
with new piece called "The Prin-
cess BeggaI." written by Paulton
and Robyn. The entertainment has
been seen in a number of the other
cities during the season already well
advanced and consequently 1t passed
off smoothly upon its first New York
Interpretation. There is nothing of
exceptional originality in the story
of its treatment, but the incidents
follow, one another rapidly, the dia-
logue is reasonably brisk and the
lyrics are metrical, while the score
is both tuneful and bright The
agreeable and youthful personality
of Miss Edwardes permeates the
whole atmosphere of the piece and
was pleasurably viewed by the large
crowd that mad gathered on Monday
evening to give her welcome. 1.-THE
Princess Beggar'' can remain for
short time only at the Casino, owing
to plans long ago formulated by the
management, but tho engagement
seems likely to prove both profita-
bic and enjoyable.
The amazingly clever little mimic,
Elsie Janis, is back in town with
''The Vanderbilt Cup" which had
enormous vogue at the Broadway
theater last year. The pieceais now
upon exhibition at the New York
theater, where popular prices pre-
vail. and It seems certain to renew
its unquestionably strong hold up
on this public. The scene in which
an automobile race is reproduced
has been much elaborated for the
present occasion, where the enor-
nous stage room furnishes ample
scope for the production of most
Impressive effect. Four big machines
are now used instead Of two, as for
merly. and the incident arouses the
crowd in front to great enthusiasm.
The engagement of Blanche Bates
at the Academy of Music in "The
Girl of the Golden West" is for four
weeks only, and there is an enormous
demand fer tickets covering the en-
tire period.
William A. Brady and Joseph R
Grlsmer are advertising that seats are
on sale for the next twelve weeks at
the Savoy theater where "The Man
of the Hour" has been attracting
practically universal attention. This
seems to promise that the play may
remain in New York the entire sea-
son.
In their Sunday announcements the
Messrs. shubert and Anderson de-
clared in very large type that 71,466I
persons had visited the Hippodrome
during the week just closed.
The new show at Joe Weber's thea
ter has the appearance Of being quite
the most substantial success ever
known in that establishment The
management does not know how it is
possible, but the fact remains that
the receipts every night exceed by
forty or fifty dollars the high water
mark previously achieved This show
will easily run until hot weather and
even longer, if Mr.. Weber so decides.
At the Belasco theater every night
upon the close Of 'The Rose Of the
Rancho" Forty-second street, one Of
the broadest lanes of traffic in New
York, is so blocked with private equip
ages and automobiles that it requires
all the skill of half-dozen mounted
policemen and as many more on foot
to untangle the mass.
One Samuel Sohieffman comes for
ward with the claim that Charles
Klein's latest play. "The Daughters
of Men, is not original with that au-
thor, but is founded upon the manu-
script of Schieffman's. suit is being
pushed to prove the assertion, and I'll
