Orpheum last night followed Miss
Brownell through her dramatic por-
trayal Of the role made famous by the
intense dramatic art of Margaret
Anglin, n following the scene of her
great sacrifice at the close OF the third
act the audience a%pplauded until Miss
Browneil and little Miss Constance
Vernon must have become tired of
bowling.
Adapted from the dramatic novel by
Margaret Deland, the story of the
awakening IF Helena Richie" Is per-
haps well known to the majority OF
play-goers. 1t is especially we'll drama
tized, and c~apitally adapted to the
artistic abilities of the Payton Stock
Company. Miss Browneii was as de-
lightful as ever in her refreshing n
clever work, The play affords her op-
portunity to display q character Of
emotion that appeals to the hearts and
sympathies of her hearers, and during
her sorrowful Awakening there were
many In the audience who brushed
away an unruly tear as they followed
with intense interest the sad story of
the unfortunate Helena Richie.
Edward Van Sloan, who played the
role OF Sam Wright, had a rather diff
cult character to portray. but he played
it well. Lee Sterrett gave a masterful
performance in the role of the lovable

WATSON'S BEEF TRUST" SHOW.
AT MINERS JOY pERSONIFIED.

The elassiest side show of the big
circus never had so much to display
as BILLY Watson with his Beef Trust
Burlesquers playing at Miners Empire
this week. Every fat girl that could
be selected who had any singing or
dancing ability was gobbled up, and
after careful drilling they present a
show that is worth while. Even the
pony ballet is composed of heavy
weights"
Billy Watson, with Billy Spencer,
heads the department in causing mirth.
The novel method Of getting laughs
from the audience is very pleasing.
and ever those who have been watch
ing burlesque for years admit that
Billy has the power to drive away
cares. The opening sketch brings to
light all the girls. The work of Spencer
and Watson as rival candidates is
humorous. ''Krausmeyer's Christen-
ing, replete with mirth and melody,
closed the show.
An ~interpolated olio gave several ar
fists a chance 10 show their ability.
Margaret Newell excelled with her
musical number. Marion and Thomp-
son rave an instrumental speciality
which is worth hearing. The News
boys Quartet, Tee and Martin Fletch-
er, William McCabe and Jack Mitchell,
get the harmony and are deserving
of the round. OF applause that greets
each song.
Charles Johnson, Alice Gilbert and
Ida Walling contribute much to make
the show one that burlesque lovers
cannot afford to miss.

THEATRICAL FOLK WILL
HAVE BIG BALL TONIGHT.
Brilliant Event Will Be Held in
Kruger Auditorium.

The ball Of Newark Lodge No. %,
of the Theatrical Mechanical AssociR-
ton, which hundreds are a~nxiously
looking forward to, will be held to-
night in Kruger Auditorium. Nothing
has been left undone by the committee
which would tend to make the affair
a success, and every actor and actress
in the city. as well as those who are
playing within twenty-five miles of the
auditorium, are expected to be on hand.
1t is only nee a year that an oppor-
tunity is afforded by this organiza-
ton for the members to bring all their
friends together, and it is this that
makes the affair take such large pro-
portions.
One of the features OF the bali will
be the grand march. This event Is
scheduled TO take place at midnight,
and will be led by Miss Coral Schroe-
der and Harry Roche. Miss Schroeder
is appearing at the Gayety.
Harry Roche Is a popular member of
the Orpheum Stcck Company. After
the dance the 1oor managers will give
a short time to several new dances
that have caused SO much talk through
out the country. The object Is to show
those how objectionable they are.
The proceeds of the ball will go
toward the sick benefit fund. During
the past year the treasury has been
deprecated on account of the great
number who were Ill. The committee
charge of the affair announced that
owing to the demand of q great num-
Der to get to the hall early several
actresses will be on hand to entertain.
The big event will be held after the
theatre performances.

LOVE KISS" AT THE GAYETY,
TURNS DULL CARE INTO BLISS.

Without the services of Roger Imhof
Robie's Knickerbockcr B~urlesquers
playing at the Gayety Theatre this
week would be rather Tull. The tn1ec-
ton of 1.-THE Love Kiss also. adds a
bit of life to a show that seems lack
Ing in laughs and original humor. Two
playlets with three vaudeville acts
make up the entertainment,
Miss Coral Schroeder, a dashing, fas-
cinating woman, adds much dignity to
the show. Her sweet speaking voice
and quiet demeanor are a wonderful
revelation of the clean Sort of bur-
lesque. She is ably assisted in carry
ing put her part of the bill by Harry
Sauber, a fairly good character come
dian. Miss Marcelle Leslie, q hand
some blonde, also displays a little tall
ent as an actress, but Is sadly lacking
in her singing.
+. The sketch of Roger Imhof, Surgeon
Lauder, u. S. A. is very good. A
clever Irishman he makes, and does not
in any way compare to the rough work
that is generally assigned to that char
acter in burlesque. Ills wit is natural
and he makes the best of a good part.
Hugh l.. Conn, who has many changes,
is another of whom nice things can
be said. He ably assists in making the
show breezy and delightfl
The costumes Of the women are new
and the electrical Directs, the work OF
Mr.. Imhof, novel. The girls of the
chorus seem to make Light o. theh
work and give too much individual at
tention to the audience. When this
feature is eliminated the show will be
better received.

Romantic Funk Keynote
in Plays at TwoHouses
Over Night at Shubert's, Is
0uintessence of Laughter
Running Riot.

IT. Wo hours Of joyous, nole-souled
wholesome laughter IS this week
offering at the Shubert Theatre
il there is a single moment in which
the most pronounced misanthrope, the
most hide bound pessimist, or the most
pronounced Crouch cannot laugh an
unfamiliar ACHE into his sides, it Was
not apparent in the performances last
night.
Although the time elapsing between
the rise Of the curtain OF the first and
its fall on the last act is only up
posed to be tw%enty-four hours, there
are more complicated situations and
more mirth-proyoking ~scenettes in h 4
short space than is usually found III
four ordinary comedies of the usual
type.
BY the simple expeaient of dealing
with the fortunes of two newly welded
couples, the author doubled his chances
for hilarity, and then proc -eded TO i'm
prove on every opportunity. The plot
of cover Night follol s the trials Of
Richard Kettle. a representative of the
male sex, without many of that
sterner qualities. and his wife, Geor-
gina, e pronounced suffragette, and
Of Percy Darling and his wife, Elsie.
The two couples become separated at
the beginning of their honeymoon trip
n the are of pretty, helpless, weep
full Mrs. Darling devolves upon the I'M
happy Kettle, who tells her, and you,
very frankly, that Georgina is looking
out for Mr.. Darling. An heiress and
her intended who, very properly, does
not care a rap for her money-and this
in spite Of the fact that he is broke;
an old maid aunt, who is a crank on
the subject Of hypnotism, and a pro-
fessor off that black art; a porter, a
drowsy, blase hotel clerk and a gossip
all take their places in the plot and
their parts in making the sides of the
audience ache.
The Interpretation Of each charac-
ter, from the principal to the minor,
was ae nearly perfect as seemed
humanity possible. Ernest Truck, as
the new husband Of the suffragette,
was one continuous scream, while his
wife did not miss any opportunity
which the part afforded her. Percy
Darling, the athletic husband, was
amply and honestly taken care of by
Robert Kelly, who was fitted for the
part physically and otherwise. The
least that one could say about Elsie
Darling would be in the affirmative
she was. In exemplifying the fact that
she was supposed to be a weak, inno-
cent pet Of the decided leaning va
riety, Miss Kennedy gave an exhibition
of acting which could hardly be i'm
proved upon. In the very funny scene
in which she is supposed to make a
suffragette speech, h eliminates even
that small reservation her interpreta-
ton could not be improved upon.
Arthur Alysworth, as the hotel clerk;
Joseph Dillon, in the role of the jolly
porter; Wallace Worsley, as the bank
rupt, but honorable beau of the heiress,
are all that one could desire in the
line Of actors. and more than the most
exacting could ask in the way of
iaughter-producers. The scenic effects
were above the ordinary, the Hudson
liner n the hotel scenes being
followed with a marvellous attention to
the smallest detail.

Emma Trentini Marbles Rayish-
ingIy as Naughty Marietta
at the Newark.

A TUNEFUL little lady is Naughty
~ Marietta and Mile. Emms
Trentini, who is introducing heJ
TO the Newark Theatre audiences this
week, knows how to make the most
of every tune. with which Victor Her
bert has endowed this two-act comic
opera. This was the verdict of the
large audience, which showed its ap-
probation of the singers talent last
night with hearty applause.
Mile. Trentini has a voice which one
seldom hears in comic opera. She sings
with spirit and abandon that give TO
the character of the little French girl
disguised as the son of an Italian or
gan-grinder just the required amount
of yivacity. The opera, which is Of a
high standard from a musical view
point, offers opportunity for excellent
chorus work and affords several very
good selections for members of the
ompany other than the prima donna
High as is its standard as a musical
production, and when we attend a per-
Torrance of a comic opera we do 1t
with the alleged purpose of hearing
good music, Naughty Marietta has
several dull moments, several incidents
which are ordinary and which tend to
mar the pleasure one derives from the
exquisite melodies.
The dull moments and the humor of
the forced variety are so unnecessary
so aside from the theme OF the opera,
that 1t is to be deeply regretted they
should be permitted to ,intrude upon
a work which is In other a so
excellent.
