price they are seen in a trench which
they have hastily constructed, and be-
hind their i~mprovised breast-works
the entire action of the playlet takes
place.
The Climax is still the attraction
at Joe Weber's Theater. The play is
now in it's eighth month of uninter-
rupted success. The cast remains the
same, with Margaret Mckinney as
Adelina. Albert Bruning received q
warm welcome on his return to his
original part of Uncle luigi.
A most striking play is "On the
Eve" which Henry B. Harris is pre-
senting at the Hudson theater with
a distinguished cast, which includes
HedWig Reicher, Frank keenan, and
thirty others. Remarkable perform
ances are being given by Miss Reicher,
duplicating her triurnphs made when
she was connected with the German
theater. One of the marvellous things
connected with her engagement at the
Hudson heater is her wonderful com-
mand of English and the clearness of
her pronunciation.
At the New York theater George
M. Gonna presents his newest musical
play. THE Man Who Owns Broadway"
in three acts and four scenes. In he
cast are Flora Zabelle. Stanley FOrde,
Scott Welch, George Lydecker, Lora
Lieb, Frances Gordon, Mark Sullivan
and Maude Morris, supported by one
hundred singers and dancers, who
take part in a score of musical num-
bers. The production is the most
complete and elaborate ever put forth
by Cohan and Harris. Much is ex-
pected of the play.
The late Dion Boucicault in giving
advice to the then embryo playwright,
George NJ. Conan, said to him:

NEW YORK. Oct. 22.-For the first
time in it's theatrical history, New
York has a play with the true spirit
and atmosphere of Dickens. The
work. which is entitled The Debt
ors," is an adaptation from a German
play by Fritz Won Schoenthan and
the characters and story ar eborroW-
ed from Little Dorrit.'
To dramatic a k book. re-
tanning the heart interest and quaint
atmosphere which marks them all, is
an old aspiration and disappointment
has been the inevitable result, for the
reason that good technical treatment
has robbed them of their charm. The
authors of The Debtors" have over
come all obstacles, however. and the
atergo~S visiting the Bijou nightly
may now see William Dorrit. Amy

shalsea Debtors Prison gives forth
its historic atmosphere with fidelity.
Digby Bell plays the role of Dor
rift. with authority, though he does
not always seem atune to the fas-
cinating character that Dickens ere
ated. But Amy! Little Dorritt,
There is an actress who needs only a
little of the future to find her a star

deavored to do in his The Man Who

way" is a musical version of the
authors former unsuccessful serious
drama. Popularity" This time, the
playwright has refused to be serious.
He has burlesqued his original play in
ruthless fashion, has twisted and turn
ed the story most ingeniously, and
has proceeded to have fun with his
auditors and his players. Raymond
Hitchcock is the star and his curtain
speech on the opening night was SO
clever that the lines have been incor-
pOrated into the general talk of the
play.

is really a wizard. not only in the
character of the old Tyrolean lapidary,
but as an artist who never fails to
delight his audiences. Playgoers will
ingly submit to the hypnotism Of his
art and his personality.

star, continues to prosper at the
Hackett theater in Claiming POllock'S
delightful comedy, Such a Little

reference to both the star and the play
are of a most lautitory character and
it is evident by the enthusiastic audi
ences gathering nightly at the Hackett
theater that New York has taken
Henry 3. Harris Youngest star to
their hearts and that with her presene
vehicle she will attain a popularity
on a par with that of the greatest
stage favorites of the present day.

Unless the dope is all wrong, Ed Greminger who was handed the reins of goyernment when Jimmy Ryan spects the right man in the right place. With 8 head full of brains that are working all the time, a keen biiity that makes him very popular with the players on his team, the chances are that his reign, as manager fin Montgomery will last good many years. He is one of the hardest work CTS in the business and while he lnever asks a man to do anything that he would not be ready and willing to do himself, he is wGy above the leverage ball player both in fielding land hitting.
 If Ryan never did anything else for Montgomery he undoubtedly gave unable ball players that a minor league lever saw when he bought from fhe Canttllions Ed Greminger, Forest Thomas and Spike shannon last win ter.

From that time he remained on the initial sack and for the four following lmonths last summer he was the peer of any first baseman in Dixie.
 In the batting and fielding records of the infield given in yesterday morning5s Advertiser, only his record at first base with Montgomery last summer was included, and in batting especially this did not show up his true form.
