New York.-New York extended a
splendid welcome to Sam Barnard
last night when he returned to the
city in funny new musical play call
ed HE Came from Milwaukee," put
ting up at the Casino for what prom
ises an indefinite period. He Came
from Milwaukee" is a musical COM
edy in two acts, the first of which is
laid In OsteDd and the second in zur
ach. Mr.. Bernard's role IS that OF
Herman Won Schillenvein a Mil
waukee brewer who finds himself
called upon to impersonate the young
Duke of Zurach and who. owing to
the Vaccinations or revolutionists and
the complications OF a romance gets
into many singular complications. The
book is by Mary Swan and Edgar
Smith. the lyrics are by Edward Mad
den and the music is by Ben N. Je-
rome and Louis A. Hirsch. In Mr..
Bernard's supporting company are
Nellie Bergen. Amelia Summerville,

Rowland, Louis Harrison and Frank
Sergent. The production has been
staged by Sidney Ellis. the English
director, who has come to this coun-

pleasantly cast in dozen years than
in the amusing new Vaughan COM
| edy, Smith" at the Empire theare
Miss Mary Beland, who plays the part
OF Smith, the pretty servant with
whom John Drew is in love- has never
| charmed an audience more. Both
Miss Isabel Irving and Miss Sibyl
Thorndike, as the bridge fiend and
designing spinster, respectively, ef-
| fectively depict well known society
types.
H. B. Warner in alias Jimmy VAL
entine," has apparently found his
second season at Wallach's theatre to
his liking. Judging from the big
houses ruling at this historic play
house it will be many months before
Jimmy applies himself to the task Of
opening safes in other cities.
Edgar Seiwyn's new play "The
Country Boy" at the Liberty theatre
has proved one Of the best of the new

memoration of this event.

her worries with the family estat

). flee Of the stubborn prodigal.
That hilariously funny farce. "Bab
r Mine" is still the attraction at Daily
r theater, and bids fair to remain a
r that playhouse throughout the en-
n tire season. Marguerite has reveale
a talent for brisk comedy that sur
e prised her admirers. Walter Jones ha
\ never done better work than he is do
j ing now.
