NEW YORK DRAMATIC LETTER

| New York. Nov. 30.--This week saw
quite a number of changes In New
| York theatrical circles.
Oscar Hammerstein has transferred
management of his Manhattan opera
| house to his son william, who began
his regime by introducing holt
day season of vaudeville beginning on
Monday evening. The change is due
| to the fact that Mr.. llammerstein cX-
poets to make long stay In London
| to superntend his London grand OPP
era house, now In course of construc-
ton. William Hammorstein will con
| tinue to control the Victoria music
hall. while Arthur will assume control
of the productions "Ilans" and
Naughty Marietta" the latter being
Il winning attraction at the New York
theater just now.
Highly pleasing It's capacity audi
| ences at every performance, 'Ihc Girl
| i'm The Taxi" with Carter De Haven
| and an allstar cast, has entered It's
! second month at the Astor theater.
One and all acclaim this rollcking
farce as the funniest play this season
has produced, and there is every pros
pect of "The Girl in The Taxi" remain
ing a Broadway attraction for n solid
year
New York has not seen play that
makes a stronger appeal to ones high
est ideals than THE Rosary" in many
seasons. This play is attracting large
audiences to the Garden theater night
ly, and promises to run throughout
the season. 1t has received the hearty
endorsement of the Catholic clergy,
but the audiences include people OF all
religions for the high moral appeal
THE Rosary" makes will fit into any
creed
MAY Irwin is as amusing as ever
in Getting Polish" at Wallacks
theater. Harrington and Wilson wrote
this farcial comedy. The lady, her
self. has done the rest. The way May
Irwin sings "coon" songs is sufficient
for an evenings entertainment at any
time, even if there were no plot to
the play.
From the start "Rebecca of Sunny
brook Farm" at the Republic theater.
has been so successful that the play
bids fair to run out the season. The
entertainment is full of laughter ra-
Their than tears, as BELTS such sun
ny nature as Rebecca's. The hearty
manner in which the public has &C.
cepted it is a reminder that however
far the stage may wander from what
is wholesome there is always warm
welcome for a clean play.
The score of "Alma, Where DO You
Live" at Weber's, offers good vocal
opportunities for Kitty Gordon and
John McClosKy. Miss GORDON mas
jumped into prominence since the
musical comedy was produced.
Marie Cahill in the Hapwood-Hein
musical comedy Judy Forgot" con-
tinues at the Broadway though she
will leave after this week to make
way for the coming of SOthern and
Marlowe. She has revised her opera
box and professional matinee scenes
and introduced many new bright lines.
Blanche Bates is making good in
Avery HapwoOd's latest farcial play
"NObody's Widow" at the Hudson
theater The nature of the role which
Miss Bates presents differs widely
from her Madame Butterfly or Minnie
Smith in the Girl From the Golden
West" This time she is a woman of
fashion who is part of the life of
London, Paris, New York and New
port.
The HippodrOme has established a
national reputation for big spectacu-
lar productions. The triple show con-
sisting of THE Ballet of Niagara"
THE Earthquake" and The Interna-
tional Cup" continues it's prosperous
course.
The Gamblers" continues on its
happy career at Maxine Elliott's thea
ter. The Charles Klein play is grip
ping in interest, and is interpreted by
cast of unusual merit, which in
: cludes George Nash, Jane Cowl,
Charles A. Stevenson and William B.
Mack.
At Days, where Baby Mine" with
Marguerite Clark, Ivy Troutman, John
Glendening, Walter Jones and their
companion player, not forgetting the
triplets, make nightly audiences con
vulsed with laughter, the play i'm
proves with age.
