training under the tutorage OF Larry
Glass, his valet, who, when college

his original manner of telling a story

GARRICK THEATRE.

1t is doubtful II there has ever been
put upon the stage in America story
in play form more vital, more daring
and more intensely interesting than
Leah Kleschna." The one exception
may possibly be Augustus Thomas The
Witching Hour" and yet the sterling
play though drawn on parallel lines
and written by Americas foremost
dramatist, has not claimed the univer-
sal attention and permanent support

Leah Kleschna.'s Mrs. Fiske acknowl-

The most striking portrayal is Dia-
mOnd Mabel. in which Anne Suther-
land makes a great success and adds
another to her remarkable gallery of

adverse criticism the play is drawing
well.
Comic Opera For Hammerstein.
When Oscar Hammerstein made
the deal with the Metropolitan opera
company last spring that took him out
of the grand opera field many were
the conjectures as 10 what he would
do with his magnificent new Manhat-
tan opera house. The willy Oscar said
nothing at the time, but last week he
showed US what he proposes TO do in
the future when he produced the best
real comic opera New York has seen
IN many a season, and staged it with
an expense and layishness that has
been undreamed of heretofore, even
in this age Of expensive productions.
1t is called 'Hane. the Flute Player, ."
and is from the German. Nearly all
the principals. too. have been import
ed, Sophie Brandt being almost the
only native singer among them. The
opera almost deserves to rank as a
grand opera. and the music is charm
ing throughout. The book was IN
doubtedly inspired by the story of the
rat catcher of Hamelin.
Great Run Abroad.
It has had a tremendous vogue
abroad, which will be duplicated here,
but it is questionable if there are
more than a half dozen stages in
other cities Of the country capable of
containing the production, or audito-
RUINS with seating capacity sufficient
TO warrant the expense incurred I'm
putting it on the boards on the scale
Hammerstein has attempted. 1t forms
a memorable event in opera circles
here, and marks. perhaps, a new era
in the field of lighter musical produc-
tions.
Denman ThompSOn's Return.
An interesting event OF the week
was the return to the metropolitan
stage OF the veteran actor Denman
Thompson in THE Old Homestead"
Perhaps his voice is not as strong as
Of yore, and perchance there is not
quite as much elasticity in his move
ments, but otherwise he has lost none
Of his vigor, and the play which has
made generations laugh and cry has
proved as potent as ever. His engage
ment is limited to two weeks, but
might easily be prolonged indefinitely
did he care to do so.
Dramatic Uplift Apparent.
Efforts TO uplift the drama seem to
be in the air. In addition to the plans
of the New theatre, Charles Frohman
and William Morris, William A Brady
is to begin a series of Sunday night
performances at Days late in Octo-
Der. in which serious plays of social
and moral import will be given. To
obtain admission one must pay
membership fee in addition TO the
usual price of tickets. the intention
being to evade the law in this man.
ner. Nearly all the serious continental
playwrights of the present day are rep
resented in the repertoire which will
be given.
Seat Sale Far Ahead.
Already seats are on sale at certain
theatres, not only for Thanksgiving
and. the Christmas holidays, but for
Washington's birthday as well. As

forelock this record has scarcely an
