Gets Merry, Tuneful An
swer at the Newark.

~ nee again the famous Alma mas
taken up her residence in this
city. and the answer to that
o~ft-repeated Alma, Where Do You
Live?" for this week is AT the New
ark Theatre" The leading role In
this English version of the French
vaudeville is played to perfection by
Miss Vera Michelena, the well-knewn
prima donna. Alma received a well
come home.
To those who had seen The Parisian
| farce during its previous engagement
here it seemed to have lost none OF its
popularity. In fact, the change OF
stars which brought Miss Michelena TO
the Newark improved, the piece. She
fits the part of Alma to perfection and
makes a more winsome nlilliner than
did Truly Shattuck. Miss Michelena's
rendition of her musical numbers was
very pleasing. and the song hit. Alma,
Where Do You Liver" is heard at its
best through the stars vocal ability.
Pierre, the raw country lad. who is
made heir to a fortune provided he
does not fall in love with any woman
before he becomes Of age, is played by
Robert Dore. In the event OF Pierre
FORGETTING his share of the fortune left
by the mar who adopted him, it goes
to his uncle Theobold and the latter's
prospective son-in-lawp Castor. Con-
sequently, CASTOR, who is described as
"a great little fixer," proposes to en-
list the service of Alma to make love
to Pierre, and thereby separate him
from his 1900, 900 francs.
Alma scorns the proposition, and
when told another woman is quite
handy who will carry out the plan for
a certain sum, the milliner decides to
accept and declares she will perform
her part of the conspiracy. She de-
lights those who engaged her by max
ing advances to Pierre, but in reality
she loves the boy, n by her atten-
ton shields him for the twenty-four
hours in which he must live up to the
provisions of the will. How she sue
ceeds and the numerous situations
which result form the farcical material,
and is best enjoyed when seen.
On several occasions Theobold, played
by William H. Power, displays his ap-
probation of feminine beauty to such
an extent that part of the audience
gasped. Others believed the display

applauded accordingly. The farce is
strictly Partisan.
Count Bolivario, the ardent admirer
with a homicidal mania which works
overtime when he sees a man in the
company OF his sweetheart Alma, fur
nished several thrills by the reckless
manner in which he handles a shining
revolver. The possibilities in the event
of his ice-water supply giving out are
to contemplate.
The other parts are eapably handled
by the company. Piquart, a detective,
is portrayed by Walter Liebmann;
Rennault, a notary, by Daniel Moyles;
Dunior, a minister, by e. f. Nagle;
Antoinette, Theobold's wife, by Bertha
Whitney; Germaine, their daughter, by
Madeline Sorel, and Louise, n house.
maid, by Shirli Rives.
Inadvertent comedy, which was read
lily appreciated, occurred during the
duet of Kiss Me, My Love- by Miss
and Mr.. Dore. During the
breaks in their osculatory greetings a
in the orchestra announced
the separation, but a scene shifter in
the e appeared to have dropped a
heavy plank at the moment the cas-
tenet was supposed to come into play.
Even the finished actress starring
could not meet the situation without
laughing. and everybody enjoyed it.
Next week the musical sensation,
Madame Sherry" will be seen at the
Newark.
