smiths best English comedy of the
eighteenth century" 1t was produced
last night at the Belasco Theater by the

the action of the comedy could be observ-

Goldsmith. who is said to have been de-
lighted when he heard his first ballads
sung on the streets of Dublin prior to
the American revolution. 1t is said that

the lines of she Stops to Conquer as
they Were in his initial comedy The
Good Natured Man. or in his famous
poem. THE Deserted Village
