THEA TRICAL GOSSIP

New York. April One more week
of the Lenten season, then will come
the last OF the new plays, intended TO
inaugurate the run of summer attrac-
tons.
Some of the favorites are going.
"Rebecca of Sunny brook Farm dain-
ty, bewitching Rebecca leaves the Re
public theater tonight, and William
Gillette at the Empire appears for the
last week but one. in Sherlock Holmes
that very popular play.
John Mason appears in AS Man
Thinks" at the Thirty-ninth street
theater. The play is by August Thorn
as and deals with difficulties which
may arise from the close personal re-
lations of Jew and Gentle. The lead
ing character is that of Il Jewish ply
stefan and philanthropist, who stands
out as a great example OF intellectual
power and human sympathy. The
members OF the supporting company
are Vincent Serano, Walter Hale,
John Flood. William Sampson. Crys-
tai Herne, Amelia Gardner and Char
lotte Ives.
Every Woman" which enters upon
it's second month at the Herald Square
theater is a play OF that unique type
that defes classification. II is a lit
tie bit of everything. For the student
of the drama who goes TO see a reviV
al of archaic form it has its lesson, for
the occasional playgoer who likes a
moral with his theatrical diet il car
rics a story. for the lover of music it
provides enjoyment and the seeker
after entertainment has his eXpecta-
lions gratifed
Excuse Me-" Rupert Jiughes' farce,
has gained such grip on popular IA
vor that it will occupy the Gaiety the
alter for the remainder of the season.
The scenes are laid abord an over
land limited train bound for San Fran
cisco and the humorous situations are
evolved from incidents resulting from
the close assembling for five days of
varied types of persons.
The Aston will continue to offer Hol-
brook Blinn in Edward SheldOn's play
The Boss" Mr.. Blinns characterize
ton of Michael Regain, The Boss"
has won favorable comment. he is
admirably supported by Emily Stew
ems. Frank Sheridan and II. II. La
Motto.
Baby Nine" in which Margaret
Mayo injected more laughs than are
usually supplied to farces, has become
firmly re-establiShed at Days, and
bo nIar of I hn
season. The interest that London is
taking in the play which is one OF the
seasons biggest successes in the Brit
ish metropolis, is a reflection of the
success of the farce in New York
! In Get Rich Quick Wallingford" at
the Cohen theater. the two truths that
combine to form the theme of the play
are that the love of a good woman will
work the salvation of any man and
that if the average man who lives by
his wits would devote the same
amount of energy and ingenuity to
honest business he would find legiti-
mate success. The characters drawn
by Cohen are easily found in real life
and they have been made real for the
stage. Hale Hamilton is Walling-
! ford
Blanche Bates appears in NO
body's Widow" at the Hudson theater.
| The farcical romance is from the pen
of Avery HOpwood. So great is Miss
Bates success in this play that overt
ures have been made to David Belas-
co regarding the possibility of adapt,
ing il into light opera.
Possessed of even a greater number
of beauties than when New York first
saw it, Edmond Rostand's "Chante-
cler." with Maude Adams in the title
role. continues to attract large au-
diences to the knickerbocker theater.
| Contrary to all other reports Miss
May Blaney. Arthur Byron. Ernest
Lawford, r. Peyton Carter, Miss Dor
othy Dorr and William Levers con-
tinue in their original parts.
"Thais." in dramatic form is be-
ing played at the Criterion theater
with Constance Collier, Tyrone Pow
ers and Arthur Forrest in the leading
roles. The play is beautifully mount
ed and Paul Wilstach's dramatic yer
sion has literary value The Mass.
