.THE FIVE FRANKFORTERs.-

On the whole an agreeable change
from the common type of play, the
play with a punch and the one with
out it, the melodrama and the farce
such is "The Five Frankforters. a
new comedy from the German which
will be presented at The Playhouse
next Tuesday and Wednesday after a
successful engagement in New York.
To most people the fact is already
familiar that "The Five Frankforters"
Of the story In no sense relate to the
article of food. The play, however,
is quite as German with a consider
able quality Of the sentimental AS
a matter Of fact, the play is based on
an episode in the early history of
the Rothschilds, perhaps. the most
famous bankers the world has ever
known. When the piece was first pro
duced in London the reviewers there
seemed TO be somewhat shocked az
what they were plased to regard as
its disclosures Of the intimacies Of
a particular family's life But the
truth OF the matter is that THE Five
Frankforters" in reality is a sort of
blend Of romantic drama and genre
pictures. What makes the plot dis
tinctive is its happy contrasting types
OF power. The central figure is Frau
Gudula, widow of the founder of the
house of Rothschild and mother of the
four sons, all Of whom have scattered
to the various centres of Europe
where they have become powers in
politics and finance
The scenes of old world life have a
quaintness and fragrance that pass
over the footlights to hold in fascin-
ated captivity the spectators, who
yield so willingly to their charm. The
piece attained great popularity not
only in Berlin but London and its sue
cess in New York was equally as note
worthy. The producers in America
are Messrs. Shubert, who will send
to this city practically the original
company.
