In the Fordham district of New
York he is completing the new and
palatial Fordham Theater and in
Brooklyn has completed plans for a
magnificentnew Orpheum Theater.
All OF these new houses are planned
on the most luxurious scale and will
mark an advance on any existing
theaters, as Mr.. Albee insists that
each theater show improvements
based upon the ideal OF perfect amuse-
ment service to the public. He has
no stereotyped theories about theater
plans, but persistently seeks new
ideas and more efficiency, hence his
newest house is always his best, be-
cause II invariably Is step forward
in the technique OF the playhouse.
He regards the theater as an in
tegral part OF community life with a
great function to perform and he de-
votes his days and nights to plan
ming innovations that will be definite
improvements.
The new theaters in this city taken
over from the y. S. Moss Circuit are
the Hamilton, Jefferson, Regent, Col
iseum, Prospect, Broadway, Dyckman
and Flatbush. Altogether the Keith
houses in Greater New York have
seating capacity OF over 10000.

IL quite a feat for Washington.
II also notice that you excel in
farce, the hardest kind of plays for

you play Baby Mine" which l con-
slider the best farce ever written. I
saw Marguerite Clark play this sew
eral years ago, and believe your
ingenue, Miss Nell Barnes. who made
such distinct hit in Fair and
Warmer" is Ideally suited to the part
played by Miss Clark. And ! would
like to see Mr.. Bell, who made such
= hit in Boney in The Misleading
Lady" do the comedy part originally
played by Walter Jones. Please in
culge an old patron to this extent"
II is because of this letter and the
following extract from George Jean
Nathan in the Smart Set that the
Garrickers are plaing, for one week
beginning tonight, Baby Mine:"

Cut Out Coupon
For mystery"

The coupon idea having proven so
popular with previous attractions,
Manager Taylor OF the Shubert-
Belasco has arranged with the man
ayers OF the new drama, Mystery"
to continue this discount idea for
the opening tonight OF this attrac-
ton.
Mystery has created consider
able interest elsewhere, but the play
is yet new, and word-of- mouth
advertising of well liked play
on its opening performance is neces-
sary to, and generally insures the
success of an offering that might
remain indefinitely unknown did It
not at the start have the public
encouragement of an audience of
liberal proportions and which Man
ager Taylor's original first night
discount idea attracts.
All that the reader OF The Times
has to do to enjoy the reduction in
price Is to cut the coupon from
the theater advertisement in this
paper and present II when making a
purchase at the box office.
A great difficulty confronting
managers with new plays, unless
assistance by means OF some artist
or author Of fame be had, is at
tracing audiences at the start that
will prevent the venture being a
loss.
Mr.. Taylor Is entitled to the credit
for having devised a plan that not
only reduces the patrons outlay.
but at the same time helps the pro-
moter to quickly realize the value
in his product. Therefore, why not
save and see by attending the irst
night.

The Shubert-Belasc Theater Will
open it's autumn season tonight, the
opening attraction being Edward
Delaney Dunn's play Mystery" This
drama is based on the famous Elwell
murder mystery, which has had the
undivided attention of the New York
Police Department since early last
June.
Mr.. Dunn in his drama of a pro-
logue and three acts has, by the use
of all the principal characters who
have figured in this crime, pictured
all the important incidents of the
mystery and has, besides, given a
solution of the same.
In the prologue we have the famous
card expert, in his home in New
York. He Is discovered by his care
taker early in the morning dressed
in his pajamas. The curtains tremble
at the window and a hand reaches
out and seizes the revolver which lies
on the floor near the chair. The care
taker shakes the man in the chair
screams and runs out of the ROOM
and as the curtain falls somebody es-
capes from behind the curtain.
The first act finds the police in
spector on the job. The chauffeur

is put through the third degree, and
then a young woman Unexpectedly
appears and informs the inspector

and also her attorney, and disclose
all the incidents of the night before.
In trying to cover up her divorced
husband the young woman tells
things that seem to incriminate her
or her divorced husband
A young man from Kentucky ar
rives on a belated train. He frankly
admits that he came intending to kill
the deceased, but his train did not
get into New York until half an hour
after the murder. Several witnesses
are brought in who appear to in
criminate each other.
