No musical comedy of recent years has
won the unanimous praise of the New
York critics in such unqualified measure
as has Madame Sherry which Woods,
Frazee and Lederer are now presenting in
New York, at the New Amsterdam, and
which will be seen in all its beauty and
completeness at the Auditorium, Burling-
ton, on Wednesday evening, January IS.
Adapted from French original which has
charmed Paris, Berlin, Vienna and London
for the past three years, Madame Sherry
has been revised for the American stage
by Otto Hauerbach and given most en-
chanting musical setting by Karl Hoschna.
Madame Sherry" sparkles like cham
payne and its ~ musical numbers are
positively infectious in their ingratiating
quality. 1t is distinct novelty in theme,
idea and manner of construction, and its
cast numbers such musical comedy cele-
brities as Edward M. Favor, Tessa Kosta,
Edith Sinclair, r. Emmett Lennon, Emile
Hayward, Joe Smith Marba and the won
derful chorus woich has been the talk of
Manhattan ever since the opening night
A special orchestra and massive scenic
production further add to the attractive
ness of Madame Sherry"

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.
'Diana of Dobson's" is the play that
will be presented at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, next week. It is
in four acts by Cicely Hamilton, and
scored decided hit in London and also
in this country, particularly in New York
City, where it enjoyed more than ordinary
popularity. The story of the play is that
of a large dry goods store" as we call
them in America. 1t is in London and
goes by the name of "Dobson's," where
the shop girls Give in" that is they are
paid so much a week, including their
board and lodging; they sleep in the
dormitories and enjoy very little freedom,
consequently their lives are not the high
est type of happiness. Diana is one of
the shop girls at "Dobson's," where the
Giving in" system is in vogue for the
shop assistants. Diana becomes disguised
with the life and just as she is threatening
dire things to the manager with the al
most certainty of discharge she gets a
letter from lawyer that she has fallen
heir. to some money and she decides to
leave 'Dobson's," 60 to the Continent
and have good time as long as the money
lasts. She goes to a hotel in the Swiss
Alps, where she makes men fall in love
with her She gives out erroneous
statements about her wealth, and takes an
assumed name. An army captain, pro-
poses marriage to Diana just as she dis
covers that her money is all gone. After
a little talk the captain admits that he is
poor. Then follows a misunderstanding
a separation, and the final reconciliation
and everything turns out happily.
This week the play at the Chestnut
Street Theatre will be blue Jeans" one
of Joseph Afthur's best.

Aided by taxicab, armed with a mar
rage license. and urged on by their own
undaunted wills, two prominent young
people of Tuckerton, Miss Fife B. Horner,
daughter of Captain E. A. Horner, super
intendent of the Ocean county oyster COM
mission, and Lyman w. Allen, made good
their previously attempted elopement and
were married Yesterday at New Gretna.
Last week the bride was brought home
from Camden by her father, who was
notified by relatives whom she was visit
ing that she was making preparations to
elope with young Allen.
The captain arrived just in time to inter-
cept the ceremony, and to direct that the
new trunk packed with his daughter
trousseau be sent home.
After she returned to Tuckerton, the
family settled down again in the hope that
the love affair would be forgotten.
But Miss Horner was apparently acting
quite subdued to disarm suspicion. While
her father was attending meeting of the
board of education, of which he is presi-
dent, she left the house, and after staying
with friend all night, met her lover early
yesterday morning.
The couple. whose first attempt to get
married had been frustrated by the lack of
q license, reused the county borough clerk
from his bed, procured the necessary license
and hustled off In taxicsb to New Gretna
where they were married by the Rev. P.
]. Pendleton, pastor of the Presbyterian
church.
After the ceremony they drove to Barne-
gat in the automobile and took train
from there to Nutley.

CHESTNUT STREET opnRA HOUSE,

The expected happened whenMontgom-
cry and Stone came back to Philadel-
phia. The Chestnut Street Opera House,
which was the scene of their renewed
activities IN George AIDES musical comedy,
1.-THE Old Town." was packed to the
doors with a crowd of enthusiastic citizens
who whooped it up from the entrance of
the two comedy circus men to the grand
final, when Pedro the vacquero, and Satsu
the Jap, remove the disguises and appear
ing as Archibald and Henry, the adven-
turous youths who ran off with the circus
in act first, voice their determination to
settle down in their native village and
marry the pretty Reed sisters. All sorts
of things happened between whites. The
performance of 1.-THE Old Town" as it is
now given, is as full of lively incident,
lifting melody and exp=rt dancing as a
sausage skin is full of meat. Since it was
first seen in Philadelphia, Mr.. AIDE, the
author, Mr.. Luders, the composer, Mr.
Dillingham;, the manager, David Montgom-
cry and Fred Stone, the stars, have all
apparently devoted considerable earnest
and expert endeavor to the task of WITTY
ing and extra illustrating the original
manuscript and score. Mr.. Stone has
brought several wonderful new acrobatic
acts, and with Mr.. Montgomery has in
troduced several wonderful new dancing
specia1ties. The English Pony Ballet
have really wonderful dancing number
to the music of the Scottish bag pipes
played by themselves. The company is
an excellent one, Flossie Hope acceptably,
Miss Ethel Johnson, who was originally
seen here In the role of Gustina. Allene
Crater, unctuous and charming always;
Charles Dox, May Ellison, Melville
Stewart, Lynden Law, C1ementina Dun
das, Genevieve and Eloise Reed, w. ].
McCartho and Charles Mitchell, all these
are clever entertainers who render notable
assistance to Montgomery and Stone in
putting over one of the 1iveliest must
cal entertainments which Mr.. Dillingham;
has ever sent to Philadelphia, The Old
Town entered upon the second of its three
weeks engagement last evening, the
engagement terminating on Saturday
February 4th. Special popular priced
matinees are given on Wednesdays and
Saturdays of each week.

WALNUT STREET THRArRE

The success of "The Country Boy"
Edgar Selwyn's bright comedy of city
life, which Henry B. Harris is presenting
at the Walnut Street Theatre, Philadel-
phia, is one of the greatest successes
Philadelphia and New York has seen in
years, and nightly the theatre is crowded
with an appreciative audience. One of
the best things about the play is that you
can enjoy yourself during the four acts of
the comedy, you leave the theatre with
smile on your face, and you laugh as you
sit down with your wife, your friend, or
your sweetheart, as the case may be, and
talk over the play. Some think the
boarding house scene in the second act to
be the funniest in the play, others con-
teud that the funny situation is where
Weinstein believes he has to stay in the
country, and exclaims: 'I'd rather be a
ripple on Broadway than tidal wave any
where else One thing all agree on and
that is in the third act where Merkle the
newspaper man saves the country boy
from his own folly and granually wins
him back to the better ideals and aims in
life by teaching the great lesson that no
man is failure unless he admits 1t him
self, is one of the strongest dramatic
SITUATIONS ever seen on the stage. THE
Country Boy is story taken from the
book of life; its characters are the real
men and women we see to-day. 1t tells a
good wholesome story and it is a comedy
full of life and of fun, SO full of fun that
it will cure the worst case of blues. Every
critic in Philadelphia and New York has
praised both the play and the company
and every one should see this great sue
cess which has had nearly years run in
New York City. Matinees of 1.-THE
Country Boy" at the Walnut Street
Theatre are on Wednesday and Saturday.
! There will be four special matinees at
the Walnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia,

Carelessness on the part of a chauffeur,
who emptied gasoline from the tank of an
automobile into the pit under the floor of
O'Oiler's garage, near Riverton, nearly
cost the life OF Harry Vankirk, of Beverly.
