GOOD PLAYS TO SEE.

The dramas now on view have
all stood the test of time. The
Boomerang" for instance. which
will be performed on Monday
with a newcomer in the cast, has
been played at the Belasco The
atre ever since last August. II
is this long run which has caused
the first important charge in the
cast. Martha liedman wants n
rest and Yvonnc Garrick, the well
known French actress. will make
her first appearance in an Eng
lish speaking role. She is rcmem-
hcrod from her appearances last
cason at the Theatre Francois.
IL Paris she belonged TO the COM
pany of the Coincide Franchise.
of which she was n societaire and
is really an artist of position in
the French theatre.
There are many genuinely Co.
han touches in the farce Of Hit
thc-Trail Holiday" at the Harris
Theatre, else that clever comedy
could not have been acted 81
long. One of the most character
istic m at the end of the
third act. The exhausted hero,
who is running on n temperance
platform. becomes entanglcd in
SO many different imhroglios that
he docs not know in which dircc-
ton to turn. Finally. in an uncon-
trollahle desire for sustenance, he
opens his desk. draws out a flask
and takes a strong pull at it.
Fred Niblo's alert and sympa-
thetic personality is another DO
tent factor in the success of the
comedy.
When the heroine of 1.-THE Gin
derella Man. appears with her
long cloak il is perfectly impossi-
bile to keep from observing that
she has on satin slippers. II Is
| Just as impossible to avoid the
thought that she is going 70
throw off that cloak and appeal
in a costume suited to the slip-
| pers. She does all these things
| Just as she is expected to. Every
body docs everything he is en-
pccted to in the popular play ut
the Hudson Theatre. which ma;
be n OF the ways of accounting
for its success.
Marie Tempest has never en-
pressed her views on the paradox
of Diderot, although she is per-
fectly able to express emotion
with complete naturalness, which
is the highest achievement of the
actor. But, on the other hand,
she is able to give a sly look at
the audience, which takes it i'm
mediately into her confidence,
even at the risk Of making the
other characters cen rank out
sidcrs. But so long as any actress
does this little trick so charm
ingly as Miss Tempest does it
several times in "A Iady's Name"
at the Maxine Elliott Theatre.
there can he no cause but graft
tudc AZ the opportunity to enjoy
so much bliss.
Who would ever suspect that
O. p. Heggie. who plays so agree
ably the mart of the sugary old
clerk in Justice" was carrying
about with him an unsatisfcl
ycarning to act the part of the
unfortunate hero of Galsworthy's
modern tragedy? But it is true
that he casts e@nvious eyes on the
part acted by Mr.. Barrymore and
may indeed he seen in that part
some time in the future. There
will be only n week nor Of
these admirable representations
of the play ut the Gambler The
atre.
One Of the reasons why Fair
and Warmer" continues to at
tract such large audiences to the
Eltinge Theatre is the excellence
of the cast, which is just rs good
after the long run as it was ut
first, Madgc Kennedy is no longer
the heroine and her part is now
played by Francine laarimorc. Blu.
Miss Larimorc was in the cas-.
long enough last winter to be al
most entitled to the name Of
original so far rs the play is con.
ccrned. II is one of the piece.
which will last throughout the
summer.
