young and his mother took the youth

but one Peg o My Heart" 1t has held
its own since it was produced some years

crop of plays modelled after Peg. but
they have missed fire There is no sub

to have the general human appeai which
is lacking in most of the modern plays.
As usual Oliver Morosco is ma king the
production. The character of Peg" will
be played by Florence Martin. VINO has
now been visualizing the role for three
seasons. She began a road tour in the
piece while the Laurette Taylor company
was still running in New York and play

Gus offering at the Astor, called Young

youthful hero rather a repellent young
ster, who gets every one by the ears,
but we are bound to like him because
the dog does, and we have no trouble
in liking the dog, Jasper. on his own
account. He is really an actor-dog and
manages to get a whole lot Of express
sion across the footlights. The play
has an interesting scene. showing the
procedure in juvenile court. 1t also
contains a good deal Of inconsequent

From the above il will be seen that
New York is unusually well supplied
with theatrical amusements for this
time of year. Several Of the most i'm

their doors. so with the filling of the
vacancies that will be caused by the
dropping out of some of the present
attractions that are not strong on their
feet We are bound to have plenty of
new material
