BEN WEIGHS BURLESQUERS
GET GAYETY'S LAUGHTER.

No show that has appeared at the
Gayety Theatre this season has made
such a decided hit as Ben Welch's Bur-
lesquers, which are appearing this week.
There is not a second that the audi
ence is not in an uproar, and even the
songs are burlesqued to such an extent
that the show is really without COM
parison. The scenery, the women, the
characters and in fact every detail has
been chosen with such care that there
is absolutely no chance to find fault or.
even the slightest criticism.
Heading the company is the funny.
clever, inimitable Ben WEIGH. His APP
pearance on the stage is It a moment
when the audience has been keyed up
and then, well, you just have to sit
back and hold your sides. He has you
almost begging for a moment Of respite.
SO that you can recuperate and get bal
anced. His singing, too, is good, and
better than that of the average come
dian. and his parodies are well chosen
and clean.
Next to WEIGH in the fun-making is
Lew Kelly in his character study, the
Dope Fiend. This character is we'll
known, and, without exaggeration.
there is only one man that a play the
part and that is Lew Kelly. Even
JUNE McCree must lay claim to only
second place when Kelly is at his best.
as he a last night. Not a smile can
you discern on the face of Kelly, I'VE
in the most hilarious moments. and
every mannerism rs true to the charac-
ter he has made such a study of. Vic
Casmore. Ben Turbitt and Pat Kearney
also aid in the fun making.
Among the ONE Della Curley and
Alice Clifton carry off the honors. But
one word must be said about the
chorus, which is a nifty one. The girls
work hard and assist their principals
in a way that shows harmony. The
vaudeville act Of Ben WEIGH, introduced
during the second act, is a most worthy
one.

'EvERYW0MAN' IS
FEAST OF DELIGHT
Wonderful Morality Play at
Shubert's Shows Virtues
and Vices Personified.

xEVERYWOMAN." a powerful and
" convincing morality play, was
presented last night at Shu-
bert's Theatre, and an audience of rep
r~esentative Newarkers crowded the
new playhouse to witness this most
unusual but beautiful drama.
"Everywoman'' is an categorical
masterpiece. 1t is a picture of daily
It is vividly colored in a harmonious
blend Of personal attributes, the viz
tues and vices of human nature peine
mythically portrayed with forceful
lines and startling accuracy.
In the personifcation Of all the &C
c~essories of hufhan nature with which
the virtues and vices are endowed
"Everywoman'' Is undoubtedly the
strongest, the ablest of all the so
called morality plays.
The title Of the picture SO cleverly
drawn is 1.-The Quest for Love-" En-
couraged by Flattery and with Youth
Beauty and Modesty as her nearest
and dearest companions. Everywomar
begins the inevitable. the ofttimes peril
GUS pilgrimage in quest of Love-.
Lured at times by the gods of Pleas
ure or of Wealth, ignoring the while
the ugly witch Truth. casting aside
her friends, Modesty and Conscience
Everywoman seeks the great god Love
through the picturesque avenues o.
modern social life.
The story is a remarkabl one The
lesson is q severe yet splendid one

esty, the world forsakes her and no.
body is left to comfort or advise. She
is finally led to see Truth Invested o.
its ugly garb, Conscience and Modesty
return, and Everywoman finds her wa.
back to the old f1reside where Kins
Love, the son of Truth. is waiting her
return.
Well constructed lines. full of de
licious truths, abound throughout the
play. The story is enhanced with
music of an appropriate but incidenta.
nature. The stage pictures are typica
and extravagantly produced. Every.
woman is a mental feast. 1t is an in
tellectual play exclusively for intel
lectual people. It is unanimous in its
appeal, and 1t is unanimously appre-
ciated.

THE BARRIER" WINS GREAT 1
APPLAUSE AT THE ORpHRIJM,

Success attends the thrilling drama
of Alaskan life, THE Barrier" as pre-
sented by the leading members of the
Corse Payton Stock Company this week
at the Orpheum Theatre. 1t is a ORA
m~atization by Eugene w. Presbrey Of
Rex Beach's story dealing with the
search for gold in the northern wilds
of Flambeau. At the opening of the
play gold has just been found by No
Creek Lee, when the United States
government sends troops to the scene
for the purpose of locating certain
fugitives and also to preserve order.
Captain Burrill, of the United States
army, declares his low for Necia, the
supposed half breed daughter of John
Gale, and discovers her mixed blood.
Stark and Runnion, a couple Of adven-
turers and fugitives, appear upon the
scene prepared to jump a claim. In
hair-raising succession scenes follow
relating to the gradual recognition
by Gale of Stark as the man who
stole and married the oma he loved,
and in the latter's attempt to shoot him
the woman was killed, leaving the
child Necia. Gale fees with the child
to the trading post. at which we find
him with his squaw Alluna and two
Indian children. Burrili discovers that
much talk has been caused by his
love for Nicola, and decides to marry
her in spite of the tradition and the
United States army, but not until Gale
had fatally wounded Stark at Burrills
headquarters, and it is shown that
Necia is of white blood.
Edward Van Sloan as Captain Bur-
rill won much applause. The other
leading characters were Miss Mabel
Brownell as Necia, Miss Sadie Rad
cliffe as Alluna, Harry B. Roche as
John Gale, Harry W. Fenwick as Dan
Stark, Harry Bewley as No Creek Lee,
Clifford Stork as Peleon Doret, Edmund
Sorgram as Runnion.

FRANK M|NTYRE
IS FUN'S EMPEROR
In "Snobs,' at the Newark, He
Simply COnjnres with
Laughter.

T0RANK McINTYRE'S three hundred
or more pounds of geniality and
his unique n infectious laugh
made up for whatever shortcomings
may be- found in 'Snobs," George
Bronson Towards satirical farce, play
ing at the Newark Theatre this week.
Mr.. Mcintyre cannot help being funny,
and there was not a person in the audi
ence last night hat could resist his
racy slang and his milky" talk.
"Snobs'' is primarily a sermon on the
snobbishness of snobs and holds in It's
three acts of life a warning to all arts
tocrats who have the snobbish ten
dency. 1t pokes fun at the bic God
make you, too" variety of society, n
pats on the back those that are whole
some, even, though middle class.
It may be that Mr.. Howard mas
written better plays, and 1T may pc
that Mr.. Mcintyre has played In bet
ter roles, but it Is certain that the
star is afforded many opportunities for
making his audience laugh, and that
the audience was quick to a k ad-
vantage of those opportunities.
Miss Myrtle Tannehill proved herself
a most satisfactory ~"nouveau rich,
and made herself desirable even though
she was the daughter of a millionaire
pickle manufacturer who was frowned
upon by the s'best society"
"Snobs'' tells a funny little story
about Hank Disney, a milkman, who
suddenly discovers that he is a real
duke with the full complement of no.
msnclatures and a bank account that
rum well up into the millions. Need
less to say Hank has the time of
his life trying to appreciate his posi-
ton and trying to break into society.
And. be it said for Hank" that his
sole motive in desiring to be. a mem
Der of the upper gten is in wishing to
win the love of the pickle manufac-
turer's daughter.
Impossible as it may seem, the milk
man duke succeeds In winning the girl
of his heart. whom he knew but a day,
and the audience is left to infer that
the couple are happy ever after.
Woven into the play is a thread that
Demonstrates the alleged mercenary
instincts of the social parasite, who
is willing to give herself UP to any
man with a title and a large estate.
Mr.. Howard shows a girl of the first
family giving herself up to a furnace
tender, the chum of the milkman duke.
whom she considers the real duke. or
course, when she finds out her mistake
she conveniently changes her mind.
If fault is to be found with "Snobs'
It is in that it is too preachy-and too
syordv. Most plays that are made to
he measure of a particular star have
their shortcomings, and "Snobs' is not
an exception to the rule,
However Frank McIntVre. with the
Rable assistance of Miss Tannehin.
brings out the best there is in the
farce and make 1t worth seeing.
