love with charming and penniIess Frenchman. The necessities of the plot bring the young man into the employ of the family factories in Ohio. Here he is supposed by the young gels family to make mess of things. On the contrary he becomes an able business man to the disap- pointment of the young lady who wishes to see him only against the background of Continental moonlight. In the end she marries the French man, of course, but only after three acts of pleasant and amusing situa- ton. Kenneth McKenna, always n good actor, plays three fawless acts of French accent and the rest of the cast. with the exception of the monotonous young heroine are equal ly capable.
 "Gentiemen of the Press" is an- other side of the newspaper angle, not so thrilling but quietly interest. ing and splendidly played by an ex- Icellent cast headed by John crom- well.
 Gorgeous Musical Plays
 When the late Dorothy Donnelly conceived the idea of musicalizing the famous play of "0ld Heidelberg" and persuading the Shuberts to give a splendid production under the title of The Student Prince" she little real ized that she was opening the way to a new field of the theatre. sThe Student Prince" was a great success and led the way for Mir. Ziegfeld to produce Show Boat" another music al play with story. Then came the still popular Three Musketeers'' and the musical theatre began to draw away from the inanity of musical comedies and revues. Gorgeous scen- cry. good voices, plot and not lit- tie characterization were demanded. In the same fieid one finds this year "Thc New Moon," which opened last week at the imperial Theatre. Remi- niscent of that dear old favorite of many years ago, "The Mocking Bird, ," is this story of the French in Louis jana. The piece has score of excel lent music.

 If you are bound for the theatre or dinner these autumn evenings when the sky is cloudlessIy clear, you may look upward and you will see floating across the sky an airplane bearing a sign on the neither side of it's wings that is an advertisement but none the less effective. Recently, just as the world was awakening to work, plane flew over the city bearing one of those loud speakers" by which one may speak almost from state to state.

 Now that the autumn is really here, --and there can be no doubt about it,
 New York claims the season for its own Every steamer that noses it's way into the Ambrose Channel brings it's hundreds of returning trav- elers from Europe. Every train that comes into the two great terminals likewise carries it's quota of travellers. Summer coats of sunburn are already disappearing and the city as whole is getting down to business with a vengeance. On the Avenue, the shops, against a background of that new art of decoration that is the result of the Exhibition at Paris of several years ago are showing the latest and best. On Broadway actors and actresses are looking for jobs, discussing the invasion of the "talkies" into the field of the theatre and the moving picture and making the rounds of the offices where actors and actresses are want to find roles. Down in Wall Street. bulls and bears. discarding the unlucky tradition of Presiden- tial year. are trying to keep pace with such a market as can only exist in a startlingly prosperous country. AL New York has hit it's autumn mace and wiliinQlv
