HONEYMOON GIRLS" AT
MINERS, GET OVATION

The two-act musical comedy pre-
sented by the Honeymoon Girls" at
Miners Theatre, In Washington street,
last night, met with a reception from
the packed house that is rarely ac-
corded any show, no matter how good.
Throughout the entire performance
the audience was either laughing or
chief funmaker, there was not one
dull moment. Phil OFT has the happy
faculty of making his own jokes as
he goes along, and his assistant fun
sters run right into them. Time and
again during the performance he was
forced to acknowledge the apprecia-
ton of the audience, after one of his
snappy ones.
Beautifully costumed but beautiful
in themselves, the girls of the chorus
are all one desires to make the real
chorus girl. Led by Alice Lazar, the
girls were a hit in themselves. Miss
Lazar has a pleasing voice and this,
combined with her clever acting,
made her an instant favorite.
During the course of the first act a
cabaret speciality is given by the Har-
mony Trio. Jack Hart, Al Hyland
and James Patterson are the three
harmonyists. With Patterson at the
piano the three were encored time and
again. and they. deserved it.. Each
song was sung better than the one

Mew-Moqvn Hay aroma
in Plays on Local Stages
Olympic Park Audience Carried
to New England by Quincy
Adams Sawyer"

Take a bunch of real down East
characters, transplant them to the
Olympic Park stage and there have
the park opera company give them
life, and you have the performance
of Quincy Adams Sawyer" as given
at matinee and evening performances
Yesterday to audiences that almost
filled the spacious theatre at the park
and that went home well satisfied with
the production given the "home-spun'
New England drama.
1t Is rather a strange jump for
company that has been producing
light opera and musical comedy all
summer long to attempt the bucolic
backwoods drama, but they did 1t
and got away with it mighty well,
so well in fact, that the audience
were kept convulsed with laughter
most of the time at the quaint, old
fashioned comedy that fills the show
with Just enough pathos to make 1t
a real drama.
Miss Laura Jaffray, who all sum-
mer has been portraying the light
and gay roles of an opera prima
donna, Is cast for the heroine role
in Quincy Adams Sawyer" and to
make it doubly hard, has to play the
part of blind girl. Miss Jaffray rose
to the occasion and gave a highly
capable performance, also displaying
her singing voice to splendid adj
vantage with the interpolated song,
Smile, Smile, Smile" in the third
act.
Arthur Burckly as the breezy and
big-hearted "city Teller" who enters
the life of the Masons Corner
inhabitants, got plenty of applause
for his good work and was forced to
respond to encores for his rendition
of the persian Rose song in the
last act. Madison Smith, as the
village choirmaster looked and acted
the part of the countryman to per-
lection, as did Gustav Blum, as
Hiram Maxwell, a country pumpkin.
Miss Alice Gilmour in the double
role of Mrs. Hawkins. the village
gossip, and Mrs. Hepsibah Putnam,
the hardhearted foster mother, was
highly pleasing, and the same is trua
Of Miss Gladys Wright as Smantha
Green, a isis Hopkins" sort of role
for which she got much deserved APP
plause. Miss Anna White as Mandy,
Hiram's sweetheart, was winsome to
look at and proved a splendid foil
for the uncouth lovemaking of
Hiram.
Others who helped to make the per-
Torrance a success were: Miss Laura
Hill, Miss Billie Perrin and Mrs.
Hattie Foley, and Al Wilder,
George Averill, w. ]. Naylor,
Everett Murray and Avon Breyer.
Herman H. A. Schmidt, owner of
the park, sprung a neat little sur
prise on the company in the last act
of Alma, Where Do You Live?" in
the final performance of that show
Sunday night He had a dozen or
more clothes baskets full of flowers
suspended in the flies and which at
a given signal from him were
dumped on the heads of the pei
formers just as the curtain was fall
ing. The company entered into the
fun of the surprise by picking
PUP the flowers and pelting the
audience with them, and as a result
a pretty battle of the flowers took
place for a number of minutes.

N. Y. THEATRE OPENINGS

NEW YORK, Sept. OCCASIONALLY
adequate productions of Shakespeare's
plays are SO uncommon nowadays
that whoever makes one must be re-
garded somewhat in the light of a
public benefactor. Having said which
it may be as well to add that there
have been better productions of
Shakespeare than that of Much Ado
About Nothing" with Mr. Drew as
Benedick, at the Empire Theatre last
night.
In many respects Mr.. Drew did not
make an ingratiating, an appealing
and a merry enough Benedick. Laura
Hope Crewes inclined at first to color
Beatrice sort of baby-blue, making
her more coquette than woman of set
mind and habit.
Adolph Philip opened his season at
his Fifty-seventh Street Theatre with
'The Midnight Girl" in three acts, by
Paul Herve, with music by Jean
Briquet and Adolph Philip. The
actor-manager made the German ver-
sion of the play for use in America
himself.
Mark Swans newest play, Her
Own Money" reopened the Comedy
Theatre last night. The play shows
symptoms of theatrical expediency ir
that the plot is a bit forced and the
underlying cause insufficiently strong
to sustain the interest. Julia Dear
and Sydney Booth, in leading roles
acquitted themselves with their usua
cleverness.
Julia Sanderson, Joseph Hawthorn,
and Charles Frohman's company re
sumed their run In the musica
comedy 1.-THE Sunshine Gifl' at tn,
Knickerbocker Theatre.
The Manhattan Opera House opened
its regular season with q Performance,
of Denman Thompson's THE Ok
Homestead" which will continu,
there for three weeks.

FORMAL OPENING OF
NEW BUILDING OCCASION
Women Run Everything, Even
the Up-to-Date Ell
evators.

The new building of the Young
Women's Christian Association, on
Washington street, opposite Washing
ton place, was formally opened today.
The lunch-room on the fifth floor was
the especial attraction for most Of the
visitors, more than four hundred
young women taking luncheon there
between II and 2 o'clock. 1t is ex-
pected that several thousand citizens
would inspect the building during the
day.
The only men to be present In the
lunch-room were the male members of
the board of trustees and members of
the advisory building committee. Ia
bles accommodating four each occupy
an entire half of the floor, with the
kitchens and counters on the other
half. Voss's orchestra provided the
music for the opening.
The swimming pool only needs
water to be ready for use, while
few furnishings are needed in the
game rooms and library to finish
them. The various class rooms will
open early next month, according to
the educational director. One of the
many features of the new building is
the roof garden, where the young
women may rest, high above the city,
after luncheon.
Another feature, which would be
perhaps the greatest of all were men
allowed the use of the building, is
the elevators-not the cars, but the
operators. They are alert young
misses, who yes ma'am and yes
sir" at every question. Just to hear
them say watch your step, sir" is
sufficient cause for inspecting the
building a half dozen times.
The formal dedication of the build
ing will take place the first week in
November
Among those receiving the visitors
today were: Cara May Adams, gem
eral secretary; Ruth Tapping, religi-
Gus work director; Margaret Web

to be serious, but hopes for her re-
covery are entertained. Mr.. Bryant

workers are fully capable of holding
up their parts of the action. Emo
tional portrayal gives all a chance

jured man and later finds himself re-
paid by the loss of his wife and baby,
