Hines Thankful
for. Advent of
TWO NeW Plays
Grace George and William d
Gillette Appear in
Casts.
OTHER GOTHAM ITEMS
BY DIXIE HINES.

NEW YORK, Dec. at was an oc-
casion for thanksgiving indeed, for
Thanksgiving week, that no more
than three new plays were produced
in New York and that of the trio
only one was hopelessly bed. 1t is
also interesting that the honors re-
naming for the pair were equally d.
vided between the sexes, William Gil
Iette taking credit for the masculine
and Grace George on the distaf side.
Mr.. Gillette offered an adaptation of a
story by Howard E. Morton called 1.-THE
Dream Maker" a title that was retained
for the stage version which bears so
many distinguishabIe features as to place
the credit fairly in the hands Of Mr.. Gill
lette himself. The play is a mystery
melodrama, adroitly acted by Mr.. Gillette
and effectively by the other members Of
the cast. II is not exactly our old friend
Sherlock Holmes back on the job, but it
might be his shadow or ghost. 1t comes
in the person of a DR.. Clement, aged,
feeble and except for an alert mind, past
the period of effectiveness. But when
he finds the daughter of a woman whom
he formerly loved, herself a bride now,
enmeshed in a conspiracy Of blackmail,
he takes charge of the defense and brings
the culprits to defeat. The trio of crooks
manages to compromise the innocent wife
and as payment for their silence black
mails her brother in-law. Through the
clever manipulations Of Dr. Clement, how
ever, the crooks are frustrated and the
wife is made TO believe that the whole
affair is nothing more or less than a bad
dream. OF course it is highly improbable,
and so are many of the contributing Incl
dents but improbability and all, it held
the audience in suspense and justified its
existence Mr.. Gillette is as skilled
melodramatist as ever.
GRACE GEORGE PLEASES
IN NEW TITLE ROLE.
Grace George remains one Of the most
proficient actresses on the stage, other
wise marie Antoinette," by "Edymar,"
would have been more hopeless than 1t
proved to be when she enacted the title
role last week. There is a large cast,
most conspicuous being Miss George,
Pedro de Cordoba, Fred Eric, Walter
Bingham, and they gave as good support
as was possible. William A. Brady, who
made the production, has spared neither
good taste nor expense in doing it prop
erly, and all that remained to make it
a memorable event was a play worthy OF
all this artistic and financial effort. But
it was lacking. Miss George gave bril-
liant, impressive and ingratiating per-

An important adjunct 70 the coming
Of The Merry Widow" 10 English's. Dec

this production, Henry w. Savage car
ries his own grand opera orchestra.
Mfr. Savage believes that the instru-
mentation Of the orchestra has quite as
much to be responsible for as the cast
ing of the roles Of the ployers on the
stage. and so he has given THE Merry
Widow orchestra into the hands of Mr.
Max Hirschfeld, who directed the
presentation in New York at the Knick-
erbocker and now brings the same mu-
sicians with him to this city.
Mr.. Savage is Of the opinion that when
composer like Franz Lahar writes into
his score a harp part, that harp should
be in the orchestra to play that part, and
