BowsER STRIKES TT.
Huckleberry Wine to Make Him a
Millionaire.

There was a beaming, balmy smile
on Mr. Bowser's face as he came home
from the office the other evening, and
as Mrs. Bowser met him at the door he
put his arm around her and called her
''old girl and said he had been think
ing of her all the afternoon. Before
sitting down to dinner he insisted on
etroking her hair and holding her
hand, and all through the meal he
spoke in her praise and plainly told
her that he didn't hold her responsible
for the size of the gas bills Now and
then he would burst into laughter and
slap his leg and ask what she was go
ing to do when they reached Paris,
and if she thought she would enjoy
seeing the room in the Tower of Lon
don where Louis the XVI. was be-
headed.
Mrs Bowser could not make him
out, but she knew that he had news of
some kind to communicate, and that
he would get around to it after the
meal. She was right. He kept it to
himself until he had his cigar alight
and then. after a brief absence up
stairs. he stood before her with a be-
nign look on his face and said:

Chn.e,s-Polite NauderilIe.

Mr.. Robert Hillard, who. for a number
OF years, has been prominently identified
with the sO-caIled society drama, heads
a very excellent bill at Chase's this week.
The one-act play has been steadily grow
ing In popularity with vaudeville au-
diences. and "As a Man Sows being far
above the average in merit. found instant
recognition. The climax OF this little
drama is intense, as was evidenced by the
close attention it received. Mr.. Hillards
own finished work received capable sup

being especially clever. "Grin, herald
ed as a big European feature. came rea-
sonably up to expectations. his work be-
ing well received. Watson and Little con-
tributed the usual matrimonial skit.
possessing just enough originality and
comedy to be enjoyable.
Kramer and Bellclair were seen in "ath-
letic exploits" without which no bill
seems complete. Their exhibition Of en-
durance was quite remarkable. The &c
centric team, Hilbert and Warren. in a
novel act, entitled ''The Piano Player and
the Nimble Dancer" made the most of
the possibilities of their act. keeping the
audience in a high state Of good humor

addition it proved to be-took the shape OF

George Lawrence and col-. any The pres

Fitch is equally good at the one-act

The BeIascO-sThe Girl Of the Golden
West"

What is the third and said 70 be the
last engagement of Blanche Bates in
David Belasco's melodrama OF California
'F"he Girl of the Golden West" began at
the Belasco Theater last night
The longevity exhibited by this play is
not especially remarkable for a Belasco
production. but '"The Girl" is less of a
production. as the term goes, and more
of a thriller than is usually developed
from the fertile Belasco brain; and as
thrillers in picturesque garb are rare in
the higher class theaters THE Girl' has
enjoyed considerable popularity that a
play Of finer grain might possibly have
failed to command.
Compared with a play OF manners, like
THE Truth" THE Girl of the Golden
West" seems even uncouth, but its at
mosphere is so thoroughly vitalized by
dramatic interest that even outside Of
the one or two now familiar melOdra-
matte tricks in its construction, there Is
enough of plausible action to make il a
genuine play. and one which, while dis
unctly localized and narrow IN physical
scope, holds a theme broad enough to
convey a good moral lesson.
MISS Bates is charming artistic, who
In everything she does shows a sincerity
and freshness only second TO her native
talent Herself daughter of California,
she has caught thoroughly the spirit OF
The Girl and she delivers her lines
with great feeling. She is especially con-
vincing in the first act, and it was a
hardened theater-goer. indeed. whose eyes
did not mOisten at THE Girls recital

tempt TO vary the part from the concep-

President Roosevelt. it is understood. is
