PLAYS OF LAST WEEK.

CIR HERBERT TREES production OF
y "King Henry WILL" at the New
Amsterdam Theatre, Is IN every
way compatible with Sir Herberts
standing az England's foremost man
ager and one Of its foremost actors.
Sir Herbert's playing version Is even
more disjointed than the original, but
one easily loses sight OF this fact in
the splendor Of the stage settings.
Several Of the scenes are magnificent
and the costuming has been done with
a lavish hand. In the acting, too, the
production is almost everything that
could be desired. Sir Herbert's VOL
sew is a sinister creature, and Will
doubtless realize other of the charac-
ter's many traits as the actor is able
to free himself from his managerial
worries. Lyn Harding's work as Henry
Is one of the best characterizations OF
the season, and Edith Wynne Matthison
makes Katharine telling figure. VIII
lette Kershaw ard Charles Dalton also
do good work.

1 tons. In the scene OF the clo~ning
of Anne. with several hundred gayly
attired persons on the stage, sir her
bert unerringly picked out page
whose pink-encased legs marred tne
harmony of the picture. He gave Ill
rections concerning lights and scenery,
and waited with patience-unnstura
natience. it seemed-until his dirsc-
lions were carried out At the con.
clusion of scenes he gathered his red
robes about him and posed lndefatl-
pablv for countless photographs.
AS though this did not constitute
nights work, he sat up few hours
later and read a play Of his own man

are informed. For Sir Herbert Is
playwright and an author rs well as
an actor and manager. his pun

such is the stuff that sctor-managers
are, and must be, made.
The most impolite audiences Of the
city attend the premieres ct the New
Amsterdam Theatre. An opening at
this house Is nearly always a soclal
event. as well as a dramatic-whlcn
may explain the impoliteness. IL is
tradition that the elite are permitted 10
arrive late and TO discommode the COM
mon people. Sir Herbert's curtain was
widely advertised for s o'clock, and
the advertisements carried the eddl-
tional announcement that IAN I'm.
portant event"-viz., the entrance OF
Sir Herbert-wou!d follow shortly
after The few persons who were IN
the theatre at 8 o'clock stood IN the
rear of the lobby, instead OF taxing
their seats. When the curtain arose,
between S:l5 and 500, the actors
faced rows of vacant seats. During
the entire first act, and even during
the second, the late corners struggled
in. each and every one contriving TO
make himself or herself an infinite
nuisance. What has become Of the
theatres that used TO announce that
late arrivals would not be seated until
the end Of the act? And should there
not be a rule compelling the tardy TO
exhibit a doctors certificate, or some
thing, before obtaining admission to
the theatre?
Though with the knowledge that II
will not avail in the least we hereby
repeat the announcement to be found
in the advertisements Of "The Merry
/ Wives of Windsor"-that the curtain
will arise tomorrow evening at 3
/ o'clock. And we happen TO know, in
/ this instance, that il will arise prompt
~, sharply and infinitely at 8.

was not without its humor, however.
