The American Play Abroad.

Another American play which de-
lighted New York audiences for months
has just met with swift failure in Lon
don. There was nothing national about
this product-it was the musical farce
called "Adee"--for the music came
from Germany, the text originally from
France and the actors from various
quarters of the globe. But New York
was the melting pot, and 1t went to try
its fate In London with the prestige OF
success here. II was to stand or fail
on Its merits as New York favorite.
And great was the fall thereof. The
audience on the first night expressed
its disfavor and the play was soon
withdrawn, But London is not without
New York successes this summer. "Pot-
ash and Perlmutter,' as well as the
eminent SAM BERNARD of Birmingham
and the Duke OF York's Theatre, has
