one Of the most interesting features
among the new numbers on the generous
bill for the week at Lew Fields's Forty
fourth Street Music Hall Is the comedy
playlet Fancy Free" by Stanley Hough-
ton. produced last season at the Princess
Theatre. Charlotte Ives and Maude
Knowlton do well with their parts as
Fancy and Della. and Conway Tearle and
Henry Mortimer play Ethelbert and
Alfred. The sketch is full OF amusing
lines and has rather novel and piquant
theme. which makes 1t we'll worth seeing
a second time. The Hedges Brothers and
Jacobson have some jolly songs OF the
cabaret type and sing them well. and
Edith Helena, an extraordinarily high
voiced soprano. billed as grand operas
favorite singer" sails over the high C's
with the greatest ease and confidence. be-
sides giving special imitation of a violin
in action. Mile. Mana. the dancer. is an
other novelty. The remainder Of the bill
is practically the same as last week.
