The BeIasco-,sThe Bile aInon-s

The Blue Moon" with James T Pow
ers as the star, opened at the Belasco
Theater last night, with an audience of
such size and temper as to point strongly
toward repetition Of its previous sue
cess
The show is principally a collection OF
vaudeville features. with plenty of lively
music and some sentimental. ali hung
upon a shadowy plot about a noble Eng
lish girl who had been stolen by a de-
serter and taken out to India, where he
assumed the role of a fakir. The usual
young English officer falls in love with
her. and her identity is disclosed, just as
she was about 10 become the wife of an
Oriental nabob. This is the substance of
it. but neither in substance nor in spirit is
it relied upon for effect The interest is
held entirely by a quick succession of
vaudeville specialties, some singing, some
dancing. but mostly Of humorous pro-
clivities OF course, the comedy is to a
large extent that Of the clown but there
is a decided absence of coarseness. and
there is nothing to impart any Dispute
tude to the polite sensibilities during an
evening OF uIlfeSIfdlned ana fUeTNeSCenJ
enjoyment. The action is slightly draggy
at intervals, especially during the first
part. and the chorus is not of such vocal
caiiber as TO insure entire success in the
rendition OF the ensembles.
The chief comedy purveyor Is Mr..
James T. Powers, In the role Of Band
master Charley Taylor. and the best
thing he purveys is in conjunction with
Clara Palmer, when they give an exposE-
tion OF amateur night ar the variety
house, introducing a succession Of the
characteristic entertainment on such oc-
easions, and winding up with a dashing
dance and cake walk. He also rendered
''Pit-a-Pat," ''An My Girls" and 'Oh,
BE Careful Of the Crocodile"
Besides the before mentioned instance,
Miss Palmer was in evidence throughout
the play, particularly in "Why Don't
You Take One. Little Boy?" and Il Shall
Marry Him to Make a Home for Moth

both song and comedy is Frank Earring

The girl hesitated. DO you hear?
Grab 1t quick, and pull up hard If you
don't want a tumble!"
The girl seized the part of the
creeper which was fastened above and
drew herself up with convulsive en-
ergy. Instantly Blake rose to his
knees, and grasping the taut creeper
with one hand reached down with the
other to swing the girl up beside him

within reach of the descending loop
he grasped it and did what he could
to ease Blake's efforts. A few mo-

ground as Blake could raise him.

himself upon the upper part of the
