Willard Mack and Maude Leone
who open a four nights engagement
at The Kentucky, are supported by a
company selected from stock houses
of Chicago. In the cities and towns
where they have played the press
has been loud in praise Of this COM
pany. They are different from the
usual travelling stock companies, in
asmuch as they produce no blood
and thunder plays, carry no special
ties, but produce a high class stand
ard comedy and drama. Those who
see the production on Monday night
will say that this company is at least
as good as the average. The opening
bill tonight is Madam Saban." Miss
Leone who is considered one of the
most beautiful Of women, is particu-
larly strong in this bill and during
this engagement will wear a most
pleasing array of gowns.

lfer to the public. The chief charac-
teristics Of this Peggy, whose I'M
phlsiveness wins her a descriptive
sobriquet and leads her into numer-
GUS complications, are her lack of
consideration for the conventionali-
ties, a certain arch ROBUSTNESS, glib
ness and an inclination to bungle
her own love affair All these traits
find pleasing expression in Miss
Crosman's acting. In which there is
both exuberance and finesse. She has
the support of a very good company
Of players.
All of Sudden Peggy, Irish, of
course. like Mary and Kitty Bel
lairs, and all the rest of the Crosman
heroines, is Peggy o'Mara, the daugh-
ter of the widow of professor
whose specially was spiders.
Frank Gilmore is the Hon. Jimmy,
and he is admirable in the part
when he does not murder it with an
uncalled Tor display of grandilo-
quence, as he does In the first act.
Ernest stallard, very good charac-
ter actor, who has been seen here
with e. S. Willard in former seasons,
is the Lord Crackenthorpe. He lends
to the part quaintness of manner, a
sort Of quizzical erudition. and, in
the lords amatory affairs. amusing
confusion of mind. His frequent pip
ing out of why not? Why not?" APP
pealed to the audience as being the
most humorous thing in the play and
the audience probably was right. Ida
Waterman appears as Peggy's moth

these roles is very well played. Addi-

al this was not sufficient accomplish
ment for a man of thirty-six or thir-
ty-seven. Mr.. Thompson next placed
himself upon record as the author Of
an adaptation Of the McCutcheon
novel called "Brewster's Millions. p
and this adaptation (Which cannot
be described as a mere dramatization
for the reason that it Is filled with
original matter) had its New York
opening at the spacious and beauti-
ful New Amsterdam theater on Mon
day evening. The previously an
nounced arrival OF Richard Mansfield
at this establishment upon an early
occasion will necessarily cut short
what otherwise might have been a
protracted stay for the brewster"
comedy drama in this city. Briefly,
it describes the adventures of a
young man whose eccentric uncle
leaves him seven million dollars with
the sole proviso that ne shall spend
one million dollars in the first year
of his heirship without resorting to
ganmhn- or wild excuses of dissipa-
ton, or tho other usual methods of
blowing N" large fortunes. Upon
this basis of suggestion there has
been built varied and interesting
structure of episode, humorous. sem
timental and dramatic, and the work
has been accomplished with all the
consecutive skill made evident in the
dramatist's earlier triumphs in the
field OF architecture. The principal
member of the admirable cast pro
vided for work of Interpretation is
Edward Abeles, who this time takes
advantage of his opportunity to step
out Of the ranks of promising" act
ors, Of whom there are many, and as
sumo an important position among
the might few who have made
good" Scenically the production IS
both handsome and fitting.

1t was a vociferously expressed,
but none the less true welcome that
was accorded to Blanche Bates on
Monday evening at the Academy Of
Music, where she began limited en-
.gagement in David Belasco's "The
Girl of the Golden West" support
ed by the members of the original
Belasco cast. The scale of prices at
the Academy is not as high as the
Broadway rate. and this fact enables
a large part of the community to wit
ness sundry tfirstAclass productions
who cannot afford the more costly
luxury of the production" theaters.
But this condition does not entirely
account for the size of the audiences
drawn to the Academy by Belasco's
star, for there is every night strung
out in Irving Place a long procession
of private equipages showing that
society" is turning toward the AGA
DENY portal as surely as the class
that is merely well-to-do This may
be regarded as a strong compliment

ger of her play, because It is a stu
alton that doesn't arise as a general

The Girl and The Bandit.


"The Girl and the Bandit" given
at the Lyoeum last night, proved to
be the one real musical treat of the
season. 1t is comic opera, one of
the real sort, the book by Mrs. A. C.
Tyler and music by Frederick Colt
Wright. The piece was first brought
forward under the title. "A Vene.
tian Romance" some five years ago.
but was put through a trimming
down and wedding out, and when it
emerged, or rather when it was
brought forth revived and improved,
it bore all the ear marks of having
been dipped into a regular fountain
of youth and was so rejuvenated, so
strengthened and so much better
than the first musical child, the orig
inal Venetian Romance" that a new
title was deemed meet and proper,
and it was christened, or rather re-
christened, and given the name 1t
still bears.
When the "Girl and the Bandit"
first found favor in the larger cities
the presenting cast included 10 My
ron, Neil Mcneil, Alice Dewey, Viola
Gillette and George McFarlane, the
latter two being the mainstays of the
company which gave 1t at the Lyce-
UNI last night under the direction Of
genial, good-natured Hugh A. Gra-
dy, a prince among theatrical men.
Miss Gillette is a composition Of
the best alloy. She always makes
good. Whether as the girl, whether
creating such roles as Charming in
the Beauty and the Beast" wheth-
er in Mother Goose" in any of the
big K. & E. productions or amidst
less elaborate environments, her real
" rich voice is always a delight and
the perfect outlines Of the physi-
cal woman as well as the natural
poses stand out quite as well through
the opera glass as the voice is pleas
ing to the ear.
Those who were at the Lyceum
last night went into raptures over
the singing of George McFarlane.
His rendition of "a Venetian Rose"
and the Summer of Love" songs
Evoked the most favorable criticism.
The comedy Of 1.-THE Girl and the
Bandit" is furnished by Leoni Pam,
William Sellery and Sam Miley, and
they shoulder what falls to them and
fairly walk away with it. Miss Pam,
a dainty bundle of femininity a lit
tie larger than Toby Claud, and not
quite so big as Anna Held, meets all
the requirements Of full sized com
edienne.
William Sellery is what the GAL
lery gods term humorous
Icuss. His looks and gen
eral appearance are truly comlcal,
and his rich bass voice helps him
along.
Sam Mlley does the millionaire
Irish contractor up brown. Others in
the cast are Ora Russell, Frederick
knights, Elisha Mallette, Nellie Dow
dali, w. H. Thompson, Jean Reid
and bunch of dancers, chorus girls
and boys.
The Girl and the Bandit" is
splendidly mounted. II has suffered
nothing from a lack OF attention to
detail. The two scenes represent
carnival night in Venice and the
bandits retreat in Austrian Tyrol.

Rev. w. E. Cave DiscOurses
On New Future"
Things That Lie in the Heart Nia'
Not BE Bought Nor Made
BY Art.
TO ENJOY FRUITS OF CANAAN

"Whether the new year will be
profitable and happy to you depends
on what you bring into It,"
This was the central thought in the
New Years sermon preached by the
Rev. w. e. Cave at the First Presby-
terrain church yesterday morning.
His text was:
"And they did eat the fruit of the
land Of Canaan during the new year"
Happiness" suggested DR.. Cave,
Giles in the heart. Many man
builds himself a grand mansion, furn-
ishes it with all the elegance and
comfort that art and money can .af-
ford, and moves into It, hoping to
find rest and peace and happiness,
But money cannot buy It and art cam
not make it, and the man must take
happiness into the home in himself"
"a new future" he said. is the de-
sire of the one who has failed and IS
respondent. He wishes to begin
anew. He hopes that when he reaches
his Canaan. his promised land, that
he may eat Of the fruits. which seem
to be waiting there. But his prepar-
edness and the state of his heart and
mind will have all to do with enjoy
ing the fruits of Canaan"
Dr. Cave illustrated his sermon
with apt references to incidents Of
history and biography.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Jan. Frederick
Thompson, who must inevitably have
been been an infant phenomenon
were It not that hewas saving up his
brilliant talent until the approach of
his majority. has once more aston
ished the metropolis by the exhibi-
ton of a new phase of his amazing
versatility. This is the Mr.. Thomp-
son who is the senior member of the
firm of Thompson & Dundy, the re-
generators OF Coney Island through
the building of Luna Park, the or
iginators and constructors Of the vast
and stately Hippodrome, the promot-
ers OF Vanity Fair-the latest and
most novel of summer amusement
resorts-and the Lord only knows
what all else hitherto untried in the
world of entertainments on a colos-
sal scale. 1t was this Mr.. Thomp-
son who drew the plans and super
intended the exsuction work of Luna
Park, whose next architectural ach-
ievement was the appearing of the
Hippodrome after his own drawings,
where the marvellous show pieces
were prepared under his own direc-
ton and whoseshrewd foresight caus

"The Road to Yesterday" at the
Herald Square theater, is an obvious
attempt to take advantage of the ex-
traordlnary popularity of peter
Pam" for it not only deals with sort
of fairy topic, but the management
uses it as its advertising slogan the
line: sd you btlieve in dTeams?"
which is a sheer and wanton piece of
mimicry of the peter Pan" inquiry,
do you believe in fairies?" With
these facts in mind, "The Road to
Yesterday" is about what might be
expected-that is to say, it is lack
ing in the grace, the consummate
literary finish and the originality Of
treatment bestowed by DR.. ]. NJ

elves as portrayed by Maude Adams
and her associates.

William Collier, back from Aus
tralia and a double transcontinental
tour, is at the Garrick with a fresh
and brisk comedy made partly by
himself and partly by Grant Stewart,
called Caught in the Rain" OF
this lively piece of diversion it may
best be said that Mr.. Collier sticks
out all over it, not only as player
of the chief role, but also by reason
of the succession of witticisms which
are obviously of his own manufac-
ture, since all of them are thoroughly
characteristic of his own personality.
Loosely outlined, the hero of this
farcical comedy is young man who
lcherishes a mortal terror in the pres
ence of members of the other sex.
His gallantry, however, triumphs
over his trepidation to the extent of
Heading him to shield beneath his UNI
brella a young woman whom he en-
counters in driving shower and
with whom he Immediately falls in
love, ultimately to win her after
clearing numerous obstacles. There
is a great deal of intensely amusing
matter in the twist and turns of the
story. Both Collier and the comedy
have "won OUT Enthusiastically and
will remain indefinitely to throng
the Garrick.
