NOTHING OF SHAW

THE Chocolate Soldier"
Loses Identity in the Pro-
cess of Adaptation.

NEW YORK, Sept. lA-Broadway is
convinced today that there is nothing
impossible on the modern stage. after
witnessing last nights performance at
the Lyric of The Chocolate Soldier, 50
alias Arms and the Man" by George
Bernard Shaw.
Through the medium Of George
Strauss, the waltz king; Rernauer and
JP -HbsOn, the German librettists: Stan
is. = STANCE. who Ame,1canized the Ger
man version, and a company headed by
Ida Brooks Hunt. who danced, comic
operaed, and soubretted il, there was
hardly anything Of Shaw suggested,
except the cable that he sent that was
read TO the audience.
Lillian Russell can again thank her
drtssmaker that her forty-eleventh
opening night-this time ia The Wild
ow's Might'-pleased a big audience at
the Liberty Theater. What Edmund
Day, the author, failed to do. was
recOmpensed by four dazzling gowns
that Lillian wore. Miss Russell was.
In fact, the same old Lillian. and as
long as that IS the case, any old thing
in the way Of a play VIII do.

evoke laughter.
The 1909 edition Of 'eThe Pianophieuds'
is one that huns with cction, humor.

IS familiar TO local audiences. but its
return was warmly welcomed. The

METZ JUST AS GOOD

Al Wilson Sings New Songs and Medley of the Old
Ones-GOod Performance Marks AuspiciOus
Opening For the Columbia

A broad German brOgue, an awkward
gait, an impressive wink. an air OF
rugged simplicity, a querulOus manner
Of speech, pleasing singing voice
rather thin and not of very wide range
These are the things that go TO make
up the Metz OF Al II, Wilson, the same
Wilson who has impersonated Metz in
many places. but never-and this is
said advisedly-to greater advantage
than in ireland last evening at the Co

whole show.
For just a minute things looked like
an old homestead brand OF entertain

They were just getting Ireland ready
TO make a good background. by way
OF contrast, for the wandering Ger

jackass, and all the trouble arose be-
cause he refused TO blow back again.

Being a stranger II was only natural
that he should have been a long lost

There was an attempt to compromise

was very discOuraging 10 his employers.

been reported
They say that Mr. Castles was happy
IN his home life and the only reason his

the time he killed himself was due to
his physicians orders that he should
have complete rest.

born in Polk county, Tex, fifty-one
years ago. He built up one OF the larg-
est wholesale drug businesses In Texas
at Waco. but in 1890 sold out and went
70 New Orleans. where he bought an
immense wholesale grocery firm and
later became president OF the Hibernian
National Bank
In 1904 he became president Of the
Guaranty Trust Company. During the

He was a great friend OF the late E.

Tuneful songs, laughful travesties on

The show IS billed as a hilarious mix

and every member Of the company
works hard and seems intent upon
making the promise good. There Is
but one possible criticism, from the
burlesque standpoint. and that is that
the humor lags a bit I'm spots. Taken
as whole, the production is far above
the avera &c, and the excellent special
ties. the well-timed ensembles. songs and
dances atone for any slight fault.

are in excellent hands. Larry McCaie
