Academy.

Young Buffalo. the actor from the
plains, who during his former appear
ance in this city met with a decided
success, has again returned to the
Academy for the present week and was
greeted by a large audience last even
ing in his presentation, Young Buff

comedy drama by Charles T.. Blaney,
in which the American scout, Young
Buffalo. is starring. 1t is in four acts
and deals with the efforts of Young
Buffalo. sheriff OF Angel Gulch, ArIz.,
to secure an Inheritance, of which he
learned through an advertisement.
tiser of the paper, Young Buffalo falls
in love with Winnie Blake. AS usual
the schemers are portrayed in the play,
in Henry Warren, a stock broker, and
Mark Fillmore, a bucketshOp operator
who attempt to keep him from the for
tule g. The Schemers go SO far as 10
implicate Young Buffalo in a forgery
SO that Mark Fillmore may win the of-
fections of Winnie. knowing that VIM
MES brother, Sam Blake. Is the forger,
Young Buffalo returns to Arizona
bearing the guilt rather than have the
brother go to prison. The scene Of
the play then shifts to the ranch ia

Belasco.

1t may be difficult to imagine how the
loss Of a gold plate and four false teeth
can furnish situations to keep large au-
dience in a state of continual laughter
for more than two hours: yet ii Is just
such an incident that forms the key
stone to the comedy of Billy" the three
act play presented at the Belasco Theater
last night. The teeth belonged to Billy
Hargreave, an exceedingly sensitive. be-
cause extraordinarily conceited, young
quarterback who had been separated from
the teeth nature gave him by well d.
rected kick in the mouth during loot
ball game. Billy had been carried of
the field insensible, but had really re
covered from his injuries within two
weeks. yet he kept indoors and circulated
the report of serious injuries until his
mouth could be provided with new set
Of teeth, after which. with his good
looking sister to look after him. he
started on a trip to Havana SO as to be
away from all his friends while he was
getting used to his new ornaments. I'm
fortunately for him, his sweetheart,
Beatrice Sloan. and her mother take pas
lection Of Sam Eustace, his rival. He
makes good Roadway with his girl, how
ever, until a steward bursting through
door knocks him down and his teeth
ny out of his mouth and are lost. A
little later they are found by the boat
swain who. instead of turning them over
to the steward, holds them for the an
nouncement Of reward.
There's where the trouble comes in for
him. The loss of his teeth has COM
pletely changed his expression and SO inn
paired his speech that he cannot even
pronounce his sweetheart's name. Des-
perate in his situation. he keeps his mouth
closed and will not utter word In the
presence of Beatrice or her mother, but
prowls around in the night with an cleo
trio fashlight, hunting for his lost teeth.
The situations resulting are very laugha-
Bile. Finally Billy. through his sister.

81 know the good from the 'phony. >"
q phrase employed by Miss Rose Stahl
in her character presentation of Patricia
O'Brien in The Chorus Lady" at the
Columbia Theater, seems to find apt ap-
pIication to the play as we'll as to Miss
Stahrs Interpretation of the unique part
in which she has scored such a marked
success For, notwithstanding The
Chorus Lady" has been before Washing
ton audiences three times, Miss Stahl
and her supporting company were greeted
gladly and applauded heartily last night,
and ii was demonstrated that the play
goers here can also differentiate between
the good and the phony." That The
Chorus Lady" is of that character or
plays that continue in public favor was
evidenced particularly at tie close OF
act two when Miss Stahl and the MEM
bers Of her company were required to
respond to at least five encores. Al
though the play is essentially a comedy,
there is a vein Of deep pathos running
through it's four acts. which conveys both

New National.

Sometimes it was Baby Davis and some
times it was Francis Wilson who secured
the laughs at the New National Theater
last night. But whichever of the lead
ing figures of the cast happened to be
in possession of the auditOrium's atten-
ton. there was audible and unmistakable
evidence of approval. 1t is not surpris-

smiling and altogether lovabIe little crea-
ture-like the tiny girl who stepped into
the affections of the audience in real lie
as confidently as the role she portrayed
stepped into the sympathies of the per-
sons of the drama.
The piece, as was to be expected, re-
fleets the training and inclinatlons or lts
author The actor is provided with
strikingly affecting scenes. whether for
mirth or sentiment, and the writer reVeis
in little oddities of diction which range
all the way from elaborate rhetoric to the
most terse vernacular. Structurally the
play is not uniformly strong. Its char
i
figures of the story and motives are indi-
Gated but specifically Its value. when
as an evenings entertainment is unques-
tionable, depends entirely on the battie
of childish innocence for possession of the
love of a big-hearted man, who tries 10
make himself believe that he is bit OF a
brute The study of that direct, incon-
trovertible logic of which only the child
brain is capable combines comedy with
genuine humanity.
Mr.. Wilson has certain repertory Oh
personalisms which his audiences expect,
and which he introduces with such deft-
ness as to keep them wholly in the pic

SO famous in "Erminie" cannot be con-
cealed in trousers. There is as much
ludicrouS fervor in Francis wilson
pose today as there was when he so
unctuOusly portrayed the eXtravagant dis
tresses of comic opera personases. he
lends himself easily to the scenes in
which the note of child love is dominant
and preserves the pathos inherent In
several incidents and speeches.
The production is not an ostentatious
one. The single scene employed Is elab-
crate and the company is sufflcient for
the needs of a play which depends so
consistently on the two characters men
toned in the title. The baby and the
bachelor put in a frank, ingenious claim
for all the care and consideration avail
able-which. after all. is quite true to the
nature of babies and bachelors in real
life. With all its fun and foOling. the
play strikes a simple and sincere strain
of human sympathy, and the perform
ance is a grateful and refreshing dis
crlssion of a plausible situation free from
prurient faint Without being remark
ably vigorous in dramatic sense. IL is
robust in its honesty and sweetness of
