BUFFALO" IS HERO
OF ACADEMY PLAY

Young Buffalo, the cowboy. returned
70 Washington last evening and refined IN
at the Academy Theater as the hero in
4 Blaney play; Young Buffalo in New
York.
He IS the same whole-souled, square
fellow who appeared last season and
the season before IN Western piays.
But this year he comes TO New York.
sees the girl he loves and then fights
through three acts Of wcll-written and
interesting melodrama to claim his
bride and fortune.
One who liked Young Buffalo last year
will like him this year. He has lost
none Of those charms which first en-
deaTed him TO Washington patterns of
the melodrama. His weIl-modulated
voice holds out the same appeal, the life
and dash which he injects into his role
is just as effective, and the reverence
and love expressed for his sweetheart
one in keeping with the portrayal of a
character like that of Young
Buffalo.
Miss Caroline May fitted well as the
heroine. She was the girl with the
many troubles, and that she did not
once seem unnatural and too demon
strative Is in itself proof of her cana
bility as an actress. Charles Drake, as
Judge Grit. and Howard Champion as
Bull Morris, furnished the
major portion OF tha comedy and did 1t
TO the satisfaction OF all. The stage set
ting and effects are good.

OPENINGS
IN GOTHAM HOUSES
Sothern and Marlowe Chief
Topic of Discussion in
Dramatic Circles.

NEW YORK. Nov. Anew York's
evening dress squad Is today reCov-
ering from TIE biggest night Of open
ings offered in several seasons. The
conjunction OF the openings Of the New
Theater, the horse show, and the Man
haitian grand opera, season brought silks
and diamonds and high hats to the front
with a rush and the ecIat was enough to
make anarchists of those VINO were not
In on the game.
Chief interest centered in the New
Theater. where Edward Sothern and
Julia Marlowe headed the cast in a
presentation Of Antony and C1eopat-
ra." Naturally the play was presented
cnder difficulties. as the New Theater
itself and the distinguished audience
divided the interest. Sothen and Miss
MarlOwe both rose to heroic heights
and as a whole the supporting cast
was adequate.
There was some criticisms that Miss
Marlowe was more nearly the Mary
Tudor Of When Knlghthood was IN
Flower than the Serpent of the Nile"
but her few lapses into coQuetry were
brief and soon forgotten in The splendid
moments that always followed.
Oscar Hauimerstein's promise of the
Manhattan best season Of grand opera
was Stdtteu on the road 10 ealiZatfon
by the drSt American production Of
Massanets "HerOdiade. p" with CavaIieri
in the role of Salome. The curiosity that
naturally surrounded the production
was soon forced to give way 10 I'M
bounded enthusiasm that continued to
the end.
The large audience that saw Frank
Daniels begin his season at DaIy's
Theater in the musical comedy, THE
eBlle Of Brittany" is not certain Vet
whether Daniels or his eye-bY, VS. were
the funnier- The latter have always
been one OF the Comedians chief as
sets, but they paid larger dlvi0ends last

more out of. Miss Elsa Rysn shared
honors with the star.

All this is not adverse criticism. It

GAYETY-"Reeve's Beauty Show"

Al Reeves big Beauty Show" with
many pretty girls, music and scenery,
and, above all. new jokes. is the at
traction at the Gayety Theater this
week, From the reception the produc-
ton received last night It scored the
hit Of the season.
Although that old-time comedian and
show producer. Al Reeves. Is the chief
fUnmakeT, the feature, according TO the
taste Of last nights audience, IS the
chorus and the feminine portion Of the
cast. The one best bet, however, is the
young lady who acts, moves and looks

marvellous exhibition OF diaboIo manipu-

WILSON SAVES PLAY
BY HIS GOOD ACTING
The Bachelors Baby" Also Made Enjoyable by
Clever Lines-Baby Davis Child Actor, Scores
Stars Support Is Excellent.
By ]. R. HILpEBRANn-

Two seasons ago Washington saw
Francis Wilson in mountain climbing
toys; last year he donned a helmet and
felt, he said. like "the last sardine In
the can" last night he returned to the
National Theater in citizens clothes
and behaved wholly like an actor.
The Bachelors Baby demands a
shade more attention than the average
yearly Wilson vehicle for two reasons ;
it marks the attempt Of the comedian
TO write his play and in that play he
makes provision for genuine acting as
we'll as laugh-baiting.
This combination produced curious re-
results The audience saw the unusual
spectacle Of an actor redeeming his
poor play by his own good acting. And
what measure of success he achieved
was due, not to the more serious play
or 10 the more studied acting, but to
the old comedy methods that made VIII
son famous, And a big factor in the
production who may be mentioned now
and talked about more later was Babv
Davis, a baby in fact as well as in
name. who is one of the haIf-dozen
child actors" on the stage today who
can act.
Wilson the Playwright.
The Bachelors Baby is of thin tex
ture and that is not closely woven. The
end is perfectly obvious from the be-
ginning save for the uncertainty as to
what Col John Calvert may do about
his claim to the baby He was drawn
in by mention in viii and there was
no other excuse for his being there
The essential weakness OF the plav
lies in the fact that none OF the char
acters rise above typal portrayais of
character at best and the role of the
bachelor who thinks babies are the
great natural menace to the happiness
