''The Harvest Moon" is in it's second
month at the Garrick theater, and Is
better attended than ever The differ
| ence between the Augustus Thomas
drama of ideas and the usual drama
of ideas is that in Mr.. Thomas's play
topics of everyday interest are ex-
pounded by realistically illustrated
action, in distinction to an inactive
series of conversation in the ordinary
library drama George Mash, AIDE
laide Nowak, John Saville and Jennie
Eustace divide among them the bulk
Of the action of 1.-The Harvest Moon y
Frances Starts long run in THE
Easiest Way is now in it's last weeks
at the Belasco Stuyvesant theater 1t
will go on tour to make room for Da-

"Inconstant George has crowded
out of all consideration any other
prospect for this year than John Drew
as the happy lucky, f1irtatious
| somewhat Anticipated but witty speak
ing George Bullin." Mr. Drew viii
continue his season of indefinite length
at the Empire theater until it comes

Lew Fields mammoth production of
! 1.-THE Midnight Sons" at the Broadway
theater continues to defy all opposl-
ton in the class Of spectacular must
cal productions. In fact, the success
Of the piece has been so extraordinary
that no rival manager has even ven
tured to attempt a production which
would rum the risk of comparison. To
appreciate how magnificent this pro-
duction is one must actually see it,
for there has never before been any
thing to which it can even be COM
pared for purposes of adequate de-
scription.
Bert Williams, that big, black,
funny fellow of the famous team of
Williams and Walker, has captured
starring vehicle, "Mr. Lode of Koal," at
the Majestic theater. For the first time
this season this playhouse on the
Circle is really tenanted by hit, and
Williams, who, for the first time, is
appearing alone, is given ample OPP
portunity to appear to advantage.
While he is still the big unwieldy ne
gro, as in his former successes, his
present performances will prove posi-
tive delight to lovers of good clean
comedy. "Mr. Lode of KoaP' gives
Williams his opportunity and he takes
full advantage of it, and this musical
piece should remain in New York for
the balance of the season.
Elsie Ferguson still continues at
the Hackett theater in Claiming Pol
locks successful comedy, 'Such Lit
tie Queen" New YOrk's newest star
by reason of her extremely clever de-
lineation of the winsome little heroine
in this play, is rapidly enlarging her
circle of friends and admirers, as evil
denced by the activity at the box office
of the Hackett theater. Unquestion-
ably this star in this play is one of the
treats of the current season.
Good Roads Meeting.
