 Miss Adams appearance outside of the costume role has been announced of course; but so slightly is the na- ture of it realized, that when she ap- pears before the footlights there falls a second silence until the audience un- derstands the situation and welcomes her with the enthusiasm she always receives. Yet somehow the showing Of herself here to be the real Miss Adams of the old days makes the crowded theatre wait all the more inpatient ly through the novel and amusing opening minutes of the play to see how she will appear as -"Chantecler" him. self.

the cock develops one soon forgets tricks of voice and action until they become as much part of the charac- ter as the feathers or the comb. Ger talnly Miss Adams has done what no other actress on the stage to-day could do, she has brought intelligence and understanding to her task.
 Neither should anyone be deterred from seeing the play through the un- derstanding that it" is a symbolic dra- ma unsu1ted to the weary brain of some hardworked business man. A pop- ular tune is easily learned, easily tired of, easily forgotten. But a more diff heult air, some great operatic tenor solo, while it may be liked at first. while it is harder to learn, is longer remembered; and as the details of the rich melody are developed one by one it establishes itself for all time. This play has both qualities. First it abounds in sentiment more tender even

Then to those who listen come all it's delicate shades of thought, it's wonderfully fine grading of fancy, it's tremendous appeal to the imagination. The business man, flag ged from his days work, the child seeing nothing but what is set before him, both can spend most happy ev- ening with "Chantecler'' But if the man is still only half alive, he will realize that he is becoming stirred, in spite of himself, into active efforts of comprehension of the half hidden beauties of the piece. Then, as he gives it greater and greater intellec- tual response, he finds himself reused to higher and higher enjoyment, until he willingly agrees that a play that makes him think is as much in ad- vance Of musical show as a game of Bridge is better than a game of Hearts. -vsu
