'BREWSTER'S MILLIONS"
6 A HIT AT ORPHEUM

Fun his enjoyed to the fullest by
every n who witnesses the Corse
Payton Stock Company's presenta-
ton of that delightful comedy.
"Brewster's Millions" at the Orpheum
Theatre this week. The performance
Of last night was enthusiastically re-
ceived, had not the work of the play
ers alone, but of the stage director. as
well, was highly appreciated, espe-
cially in the third act, when the en-.
tire stage, representing the deck of
the steam yacht Filter, rocked real
istically in an impressive storm.
Inasmuch as the spectator is in
clined to identify himself with the
hero in any stage story, the pleasure
Of the audience is doubly involved in
this play, which presents the predica-
ment of a man just inheriting a mil
lion dollars hat he is forced to spend
within a year in order to inherit seven
millions more.
The will naming such conditions
also stipulates that he shall take no
n into his confidence concerning his
purpose, and the efforts of his friends
to Illustrate his efforts, and the irony
of Fate that turns every seemingly
hopeless investment and gamble into
a profitable Investment, keep the fun
at a hilarious point during the en-
tire performance.
Clifford Stork was superb as
MONTY" Brewster, the dispenser of
the million, and Miss Mabel Brownell
was excellent as Peggy" the girl he
loves. Arthur Jarrett was we'll cast
in the role of "Monty's' friend. The
supporting members of the cast,
which was augmented for the occa-
sion, gave remarkably excellent inter-
pretations, making this play n of the
best efforts put forth by the Payton
players this season.

POPPING GUNS, APPLAUSE
AND THRILLS AT JAcOBS'S

The Klimt and Gazzolo Stock Com
pany made its bow to the patrons
of Jacobs's Theatre last night in a
four-act melodrama, 1.-The Gambler
of the West"
The way the members handled
their parts met with the approval
of a packed house. The leading man,
Allen Matthias, and the leading
woman, Grace Hale, were especially
well received.
The stage, at times, resembled the
scene of an independence day cele-
bration, and the popping of guns
made it seem more so.
The drama requires props to
furnish only about 1863 revolvers.
Everybody has three or more guns
concealed about his person. The al
most uninterrupted shooting brought
forth applause time and again.
The story is the usual type of
story depicting the wild and woolly
West, cowboys. Indians, card sharps
and a girl.

Shaw's "Man and Superman'
Gets Unanimous Vote for Ex-
ceIlency at the Newark.
ROBERT Lorraine AND HIS
ENTIRE CAST FLAWLESS
Audience Pays Toll of Laughter
from Beginning to End
of Comedy.

When the polls of the Newark The
atre opened last night and the bal
lots were cast for the great popul-
larity play, Man and Superman," q
count of the votes at the final drop
of the curtain resulted in the unani-
nous reelection of this most sue
cessful comedy of George Bernard
Shaw.
1t was a reelection because the
play was nominated for a run here
last a and after a hearty in
dorsement received the popular vote
of all theatregoers.
Man and Superman" is one long
feast of fun. OF curse the mention
of the name of the comedy at the
same time compels a mention of the
name of that artist among artists,
Robert Lorraine. '
JUS EavesdrOp a Bit.
If you want to make sure the
comedy is an enjoyable one just
stand in the lobby of the Newark
Theatre after the show is owe and
see the irristible smiles everyone is
wearing and just eavesdrop a few
remarks from the who talk
a little louder than perhaps they
should.
You will be convinced that they
were all satisfied and you will want
to see Man and Superman," even
though you have seen it before.
1t is full of action and running
over with human interest.
The cast is just as good as the
play. Mr.. Lorraine, the eminent
English actor, is surrounded with a
company most capably fitted to por-
tray the various characters. The
story of the play has been reviewed
too frequently to require a repeti-
ton. 1t needs, no introduction and,
like some candidates, it's past record
speaks for itself. ,
The cast, in addition to Mr. Lo-
raine, includes Miss May Blayney,
Sydney Valentine. Evan Thomas,
Miss May Seton, Miss Mabel Love,
A. P. Kaye, T. A. Shannon, G.. w.
Arson and Miss Ethel Marryat.
A Great Character Study.
Yet there is not a convincing thing
DOd 1COl6 So 1CA loi oAAo AANS
terwork except the overwhelming
feeling that the play is about as en-
joyable and likeable as any that
was aver placed in the hands of a
stage manager. 1t is a great char
acter study clothed in a garment of
brilliant wit and satire.
1t leads one right up to a point
of moral perfection and domestic
sublimity, but the realization of
those abstract possibilities is ever
lost in the main point of the play,
and that is comedy.
Every line of. the play goes for
something. 1t is either a nut filled
with delicious sweetmeat, whole
some food for thought 'or else a shell
cleverly loaded with a surprising bit
of wholesome comedy.
There are no idle moments oil
wearisome plots to unfold.

WINSOME MISS WYNN
A WINNER AT PROCToR'S

After seeing winsome Bessie Wynn
at Proctor's~ this week one is easily
convinced that a little genealogical
research would reveal the fact that
her original family name was WIN.
If not, she could easily adopt it as
her middle name without a breach of
modesty. Miss Wynn is warmly
welcomed by her old friends. and
wins the hearts of all those who
have the pleasure of seeing her for
the first time. She has some new
songs, which, sung in her inimitablc
way, please immensely.
The bill does not depend on Bessie
Wynn alone, however, but is uni
formly excellent throughout. j. C.
Nugent, aided by julie York, offers
a humorous sketch, 1.-THE Regular"
which is another winner from start
to finish.
Sammy Burns and Alice Fulton
share a goodly part of the applause
in a graceful terpsichorean offering
in which they do some startling
turns. Leon Kimberly and Halsey
Mohr have a pleasing and refined
number in their singing novelty,
'Clubland." RUDE Dickinson, 'the
ex-justiee of the peace" draws many
laughs in his droll backwoods
offering. The two Grazers combine
music and dancing into a truly en-
tertaining act. Gillen, an English
ventriloquist and humorist, adds
considerable fun to the program.
Walter Daniels, who appears in a
sketch, ut Happened at Rehearsal"
surprises his audience at the end of
a rather firing offering with a SPLEEN
did characterization of an aged ex-
actor.

DRAMA AND OPERA VIE
FOR HERE
"Chimes of Normandy" at
Shubert's, Carries Away
Audience.
ABORN OPERA COMIQUE
COMPANY SCORES BIG HIT
Singing and Acting Unexcep-
tionable and Scenic Effects
Possess Rare Beauty.

Robert .Planquett's comic opera,
1.-THE Chimes of Normandy" pre-
scented by the Aborn Opera Comique
Company, scored a tremendous hit at
the Shubert Theatre last night. Judg-
ing from the applause bestowed upon
the principals in the company the old
production. is just as popular as ever.
1.-THE Chimes of Normandy, has a
record for sustained popularity. The
general brightness of the work and
the t%unefulness of It's melodies have
captivated its audiences both here
and abroad, and its scenes afford the
scenic artist ample scope for dis
playing his talents, a fact which had
much to do with influencing the
Messrs' Aborn to make this opera
the initial production of their new
company.
SOloists Carefully Selected.
The company is all that can be de-
sired, the utmost care having been
bestowed by the management in Sc
lecting a cast of soloists fitted by
temperament and ability to interpret
the markedly contrasted and pic
turesque roles.
The play is in three acts and ave
scenes, showing the beach at Corne-
vile, the road to the fair, the fair
at Bonneville, the interior of the
Chateau de Corneville and the apple
orchard. Novelties were introduced
in the fair scene in act one, when
the Seven GrunEthos appeared in a
wonderful acrobatic speciality, and
again in act three, when the Vorlops.
the great Russian dancers, appeared.
Miss Vinie DAILY, who scored such
a hit In the Hammerstefn English
production of 1.-THE Chimes of Nor
mandy" in the role of Serpolette,
repeated her success here in the same
role.
Miss Vinie DAILY Scores.
In the part of the good-ror-noth-
ing Miss DAILY was lively and viva
cious, and was given ample foppor-
tunity to display her vocal talent,
which has improved wonderfully
since her study abroad.
William Wolff essayed the dramatic
role of Gaspard, the miser, a part he
has played more than 1000 times.
His Interpretation of a miser was a
fitting conception of the popular idea
of what a miser is, and Mr.. Wolff's
dramatic effort evoked frequent ap-
plause.
Miss Daisy Leon as Germaine won
the favor of he audience with her
tuneful voice and her nifnbleness in
dancing, while Garrick Mayor made
a pleasing Marquis, and Carl Haydn
sang the tenor role of Jean Grenecb-
hieux in a way to satisfy even the
most critical.
The production is under the stage
direction of Edward Temple, former
stage director at the New York Hip
podrome.
