booker to "Our Miss Gibbs"
'The Spendthrift" has resumed its
long run at the Hudson theater and
New York seems to have lost none
of its interest in the strong moral it
teaches. Porter Emerson Browne,
the author has succeeded in calling
spade a spade without giving Of
fense to the sensibilities. The cast is
the same as seen last season, with a
single exception, Summer Gard being
substituted for Jack Devereaux in the
role of Monty Ward, the brother who
marries the sister of Richards silly
wife.
"Up and Down Broadway" with
Eddie Foy and Emma Carus heading
the cast is breaking all previous rec
ords at the Casino theater, One of
the notable features of up and Down
Broadway is the uniform excellence
of the specialties and musical num-
bers.
Louis Mann continues his highly
successful engagement in his own new
| comic play, "The Cheater," under the
management of William A Brady at
the Lyric theater. This farce, from
the German. tells the story of how
an ardent reformer inherits an all
night saloon, and is particularly
laughable in the light of recent devel-
opments in New York City. There
have been several changes in the cast
| recently, which tend to its better
ment.
Lulu Glasor is to be surrounded
with a particularly distinguished COM
pany when she is seen this season un-
der the Shubert management in the

Kaiser" Among the players already
engaged for the leading roles are
John Slavin Edith Decker, Amelia
Stone. Melville Stewart, Bertram
Grassy and Joseph Phillips.

erican Roof Garden is the dancing

| Snake Dance of Mystery" "Cleopa-
tra'' is n Young woman who does not
desire her identity known.
