oGIRn oF THE GOLDEN wEsr.o

"The Girl of The Golden West" David Belasco's drama of California in the day of '49, in which Blanche Bates comes as the star. may be said to be based upon the following quota tions taken from an early history of California. Such ap impression did the words make upon Mir, Belasco that they are reprinted at the top of each program announcing Miss Bates performance. Whether or not they fix the atmosphere of the play can best be judged by their perusal. In those strange days, people coming from God knows where, joined forces in that far western land, and according to the rude custom of the camp, their very names were soon lost and unre- corded, and here they struggled, laughed, gambled, cursed, killed, loved and worked out their strange destinies in manner incredible to use of to- day. Of one thing only we are sure they lived"

 Synopsis of Scenes.
 Act I--schultz's Fifth Avenue Resi- dence, New York
 1 Act II.-Schultzs Summer Villa, Long Island Time, Present.
 Gay New York" the big musical comedy of substance and originality, will be the offering at the New Haven theater, tonight, Friday and Saturday nights and at the Saturday matinee, and judging from the inspiring reports that have preceded 1t, 1t Is altogether probable that it will establish a record whereby others in the future will be l judged by, so far as concerns plausi bility coupled with novelty and attrac- | tiveness. The main object to be att tained in the presentation of an enter tainment of his kind Is he greater num- Der of effective features of a novel kind to be so crowded into entertaining space, as will share equal interest with a large array of pretty, talented girls and as many really funny comedians as can be depended upon to relieve the strain of the ensemble or chorus work. Then, too, it becomes matter of pos Iitive' necessity to provide scenic equip ment, and costume accessories on a scale of superlative elegance in order to keep pace with such offerings as "Gay New York" is proclaimed. How lever, this attraction has one advan- tage that 1t would seem hard to over leone, and that is, 1t tells an intensely amusing story, built upo rational farce lines, and while the plot is made sub servient to many explosions of unctlous mirth and entraneing melody, never theless 1t lends tangibility and sanity to the whole atmosphere. There seems to have been method in the madness that prompted the making ready of this seasons version of "Gay New York" From every direction comes the verdict of superiority of elaborate details, regarding the production, and what must be more gratifying still to the promoters of such an extravagant venture, is the financial results that have already been achieved for an en- tertainment calculated to impress an audience with it's novelty and honesty of purpose.
 IA current offering worthy of more than passing note is the appearance of James J. Corbett, at the New Haven theater, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday nights, next week and at the matinee, Wednesday, It Is from the pen of Langdon' Mccormick and Is said to be comedy creation and answers to the little of The Burglar and the Lady
