Shubcrt Theatre Production.
Formerly Known as "Thy
Neighbours Wife"
$50 Long Ietty'-Shubert Theatre.

II Is an admitted fact that music hath

Ing important achievements In one way
or another. there have recently been
more or less severe tests OF that theory
when II came TO applying music to farces
AZ n pulmotor. Prosperous events OF the
effort have been recorded and the expert
ment remains popular with theatre man
ayers.
TIL latest example OF making old
plays into new was observed last night
at the Shubert Theatre. There Oliver
Morosco produced so Long Lefty
which has been one OF the successes OF
his playhouse In the West. lie and Ell

Of this entertainment. with music and

%quaintance of Mr.. Harris's work 1t was
called Thy Neighbour Wife and The
play was acted on n warm August night

but they are no longer the neat suburban
