EW YORK, Nov. 29.-cvril Maude
and his graceful daughter, Mar

Hodges and T. Wigney PercyvaL
think the American theaterGOers are
getting to like these two talented Eng
lish players so well they viii not let
them spend much time the other side of
the big pond from now on
Mr. Maude this time is a retired
criminal lawyer of the most savage
disposition and well does Mr.. Maude
rage. The age Of the man OF law IS
well over 20. Mr.. Maude's make up IS
so excellent that 1t is hard to realize
he is not really this terrible counselor
The lawyers one aim in life is peace.
He is driven almost to distraction "Dy
some birds that are building nests in
the chimney of his dwelling. BE IS
only made TO forget his continual ag-
gravation when a fine mystery drops
on his head-the theft of a great dia-
mond.
Then his instincts revive-he is again
the criminal lawyer-the man who
works night and day on great case
He finds the jewel single handed and
saves his granddaughter Miss Mar
gery) from possible compromise Win
the thief.
The story has many complications
which 7 cannot take up here There IS
much fun over the tracing Of a certain
gardenia. Several gardenias looking
precisely like it are in circulation and
the lawyer accomplishes his task by
such ingenious methods that the audi
ence is kept in rOars.
The piece viii probably be seen at
Wallack's theater a great many times.
It follows 1.-The Second in Command"
and Beauty and the Barge
shyIoek.
Robertson made a long faced,
lean, hyenalike Shylock when saw
him at the Shubert theater in his re-
vival a few nights ago. He represented
the Jewish moneylender with less
kindness than others have done; but
perhaps he gained force in his method.
The whole production is well done and
periaD company Gertrude Elicit was
q PoFtia Of grace and presence.
Hop O. Ny Thumb.
The Manhattan Opera house has an
other spectacle which is bound to at
tract large number Of theatergoers,
young and old, for some time to come
Hop O. my Thumb is not entirely and
exclusively a nursery piece, as its title
might indicate.

The Misleading Lady.
The authors Of the THE Ghost
Breaker" Chaples Goddard and Paul
Dickey, are the playWrights OF the
new piece 1t, the Fulton tbeater, The
Misleading Lady" It is the story Of a
very foolish young woman who at
tracts men to her and then is sur
prised and a trifle grieved at the con-
sequences. Certainly she is highly sue
cessful IN attracting them.
Some OF the costumes worn are IN
teresting in themselves and It is a
question whether the female part OF
the audience at the premier did not
find its thoughts wandering to the
mOdiste's shop. The trifIer and foyer
IN love is exposed 10 the whole world,
trussed up in warning over the town
gate as 1t were.
