THE FRIARS FESTIVAL.
Weber and Fields DO Their Old Act for the
Benent OF the Press Agent.


The Friars made perry and $4,000 at
the New York Theatre yesterday afternoon
with the help Of Josephine Cohan and big
list Of offerings on the bill. OF the sum
taken in 81 900 will go TO the Actors Fund,
the rest to the Friars' treasury to help pay
for their new clubhouse on West Forty
hfth street. which by the way, is all paid
for Well, anyhow, 5000 goes to the
Friars' treasury.
Miss Josephine Cohan, looking like her
own picture in the lobby, met you at the
door or sent one Of her assistants TO meet
you, and then you bought a programme
for uuarter-as much more as the size OF
your bill IL you didn't have change. Miss
Cohan turned in $500, which proves some
folks were stingy, because there were more
than twelve hundred people in the theatre
It was packed to the doors; in fact, Friar
TOKEN Worm, who guarded the portals,
said il was the happiost day Of his life
because be IVES taking real tickets from
actors. Even one newspaper man Paid
10 get in, but that was when Token wasn't
looking,
The great big hurrah on tho bill was
the reappearance Ct Weber and Fields
together for the first time since they
parted company several seasons ago. They
we're introduced by Charlie Ross, and the
audience rose to them till they had to shake
hands, finally to kiss one another in
brotherly affection They did the famous
old scene with the pool table and Weber
seemed more amusing than he has for
long while. The other feature Of the pro-
gramme Of most interest and novelty was a
sketch hy Eugene Walter. PLAYED by Will
lam Courtenav and Frank Sheridan. Again
obsessed by the North Woods, as IN The
Wolf" Mr. Walter has written strange
little tragedy OF two men made outcasts
nv crime. The audience behaved itselt
very badly during this sketch which merits
close attention, II Aly for the vivid natural
ness of it's dialogue, and which. even though
il NAV be spun out tTihe in spots, Is never
deserving Of laughter II vas a bit too
serious and bit too good for a place on
such variety programme.
Another sketch promised and Otis Skin
per's appearance with Louis james and
Frederick Ward in Julius C9sar' could not
be arranged because the scenery wouldn't
ut. But the other acts were pulled on sc--
cordinE TO schedule, Henry T., Dixey, Mabel
Hite, Mime. Jacoby, George Beban, Biiou

Louise Dresser and lot more contributing,
The bill ended with moonlight scene in n
monastery cellar, said not to he reproduc-
tion OF the basement OF the Frars' club
house, and the Friars quartet ssng the
FriaTs' song, written by Victor Herbert,

Lieut.. Gov d. c. Fraser followed the

OF the report in an evening paper that he

report arose, seemingly, from the fact that
In lunohing with one friend Mr. Fraser
missed some others who we're waiting for

Lieutenant Governors nerves when he
arose TO speak. He eXhorted the Cana
