How Men Are Charmed'' is a German trans lation of the French comedy which we got in the English of The Round ers" But in that version the now dead and then slowly dying Dan Daly had neither the cheek nor the vim to enact an old rake with the original Parisian nastiness. New York now gets in German, at Herr Conrieds temple of dramatic art in exaltation. the piece with its French qualities in- creased by frank Teutonic rendering.
 Annie Dirkins, the Baroness von Hammerstein, was introduced as a wife who was neglected. by her sensual hus- band while she was plain and prudish; {; when when, under the direction of one of his paramours, she developed from a dull moth to brilliant butterfly, he mistook her for a new flyer and eager ly bagged her. It was in scene where Annie pretended to be a beauty of the ballet, with a gown that stopped at her knees, and showed how some men are charmed by some women, that her gar ters were missed When she began to dance, her stockings began to sag. An nie's limbs are not of the kind that have knees calculated to check the ac- ton of gravitation as applied to hos iery not fastened at the top. She shied behind the furniture, and used other women as screens, to hitch up those sliding stockings. But how could the spectators expect her to borrow two pins, and stick the stockings fast to- well--to whatever there was to pin them to-while the people were so thrilled, rapt and highly entertained? Of course, the Baroness was awfuily ashamed. For those fifteen hundred witnesses of her dreadful mishap would go right out and talk about 1t. and other thousands might be induced thereby to come and see her. And what would Herr Conried say?
