MASON-Tomorrow night and week

elist, and Thomas A. Wise, in which
James Lackaye will appear in the role
of Senator Langdon. William A
Brady and Joseph r. Grismer, the pro-
ducers, are sending a company to sup

Osborne Searle, a light comedian, as
Bud Haines; Virginia Pearson, Hal
DeForrest, Fletcher Harvey, Olive
Harper, Fred Adams, H. Bratton Ken

porter laughs at the idealist of forty.
Senator Langdon introduces the re-
porter to the two Langdon girls, and

teach the other the way the game"
is played and the way 1t can be
beaten. One of the daughters aids in
playing the game young Haines' way
and the other daughter tries to play
1t the other way, to her fathers grief,
her own undoing, and the general dis
may of young Haines, who had
thought her a goddess. This comedy
ran all last season in New York city
and for twenty-five weeks in Chicago
1t was on view continuously in New
York from the time of it's September
production there, a week after 1t was
originally made known in Washing
ton, D. c., until mid-June, when it
was transferred from the Bijou thea
ter to the roof auditorium of the New
Amsterdam theater, where it ran
throughout the hot weather, being re-
transferred to the Bijou for the re-
sumption of the run. Mr.. Roosevelt
when president, described the play as
perfectly corking; bully. a ripper!"

the Burbank a year ago this month,
with Miss Blanche Bates and A. Byron

John Drew and Billie Burke. 1t is
really the piece that made Billie Burke
a star. A young and sweetly unSo-
phisticated girl of mixed French and
English parentage finds herself under
the necessity of marrying before she
is IS in order to inherit a fortune. Dis
agreeing with her parents over their
selection of a prospective husband,
Mile TriXie appeals to her English
guardian to save her by himself be-
coming her husband pro tenn. the un-
derstanding being that he become a
IneTelX nominal neIDDlGGl anu SlGp

honeymoon, where the brides parents

BFLASCO-Owing to the demand for
seats, the management of the Belasco
on Friday announced a second week of
"Old Heidelberg" the famous play of
German student life. Beginning tomor-
row night with the second week, this
play will have been given by the Belasco
company for sixteen weeks, and appar-
emily it has lost none of its popularity.
In the romantic role of Karl Heinrich,
the young prince. Lewis S. Stone is ap-
pearing to great advantage, while
That's Magrane has received praise for
her excellent work in the part of
IN
ton Frank e. Camp will remain in
the role of the valet, Lutz, while James
K. Applebee will continue as old Doc
tor Juttner, and Howard Scott will still
create laughs with his fine character
drawing of the faithful old servant,
xellerman. The large corps of thirty
two singing students are the best that
ever have been engaged in the perform
ance of this play at the Belasco, and a
series of beautiful stage settings is
shown in the production.
MAJESTIC-Emmet Dewey in his
newest and latest effort, "In Dream
land" will begin an engagement of
one week tonight, with the usual We'd
nesday and Saturday matinees. The
author-actor has elaborated the play
from a one-act vaudeville sketch, in
which he has appeared with success
the past two seasons. 1t has been
built up to three acts on a story filled
with surprise and comedy incident. Yet
there are some serious moments. The
basis of the plot is spiritualism,
treated in a manner that lends itself
TO the mysterious, the picturesque and
the humorous. Robert Hammond, a
wealthy New York clubman, is rather
neglectful of his wife. He has a
penchant for occult studies. He falls
asleep near the close of the first act
and dreams a fantastic dream. A
. daughter of Venus oppears and by the
aid of electrical, scenic and magical
effects, the scene shifts from the
fashionable living room of the Ham
