Mrs. Patrick CAmpbell noil conrpaty fare the first metropolitan nreitfnUtEir of "The Horeereaa," a flV« att ■lav hr vletorlen Sardou, transited by Luila N- Tarter. The flr*t American pro- duction occurred Oct. 3, at the Columbia The- .tre. Washington, D. C. end as "La Sor- flere" it was originally acted Dec. 12, 1903, at the Sarah Bernhardt Theatre, Paris, with Mme Bernhardt In the leading role. The action of the play takes place In and near Toledo, In 1B07, and deals principally with ibe persecution of the Moors by Cardinal Ximenes; Archbishop of Toledo, and Grand inquisitor. Zoraya la a Moorish woman, the diinchter of a man skilled In heallog, who, iiiHin hid Uenth, Imparts his secrets to bis iMuchter/ who In turn becomes even more ^killed In curing the Ills and sickness of her ix-ople than was her father. Gradually the fai't that she poiwesses a curious power Incomes known to the Inquisition and .■mipilnir that she Is a Sorceress the Car rilnnl Xlmenes determines to burn her to the cinke. lwn Enrlquez de I'alacols, a young snnnhh nobleman, betrothed to Joans, <uraj;li- trr of Iiopnc de radlll.t, Oovernnr of Toledo, !>■ given the task of arresting Zoraya. He starts on his mission vowing to bring the sor- tnp?a hark with him, but upon their meeting be falls a slave to her charms, permits her to "ii free, and she lieeomes his mistress. The In- quisition Is very strict concerning the rela- tionship between the Moors and the Chris- tians, the death penalty being Imposed upon all those -Christians who become lovers of Moors. The affairs between Don Knrlqiu-z and Zoroyn continue uninterruptedly for some time and Anally the Cardinal's suspicions are arousPd arid Don Knlqiirz Is compelled to hasten his marriage tn Joatm. Zorava discovers, that the .wedding Is to take p>are and appears at the palace on the wedding night. She goes tu the chamber of Joana and puts her Into a sleep from which so one can wake Wr. Don Knclquea and Zorava then meet and his great love for her asserts Itself. They will lly to Africa, where they can be happy. in their. love. Cardenos, agent, of the Inquisition, breaks la upon them and by his, threats to deliver Zorava oyer to the Cardinal so enrages Don I'.nilqnez that be finally kills him. The ■overs then make tbelr escape from the house, but ate soon captured, and Zoraya In brought before the tribunal, cardinal Xlmenes well knows that .nothing can be wrung from th« Moorish woman by subjecting her to torture and so'he make's It plain to her that If she confesses that she'Is a witch and that she practices all kinds of sorcery the life of her lover will be saved. This she gladly does, confessing to everything the wily Cardinal suggests. Wheu Don Hrlnqne7. learns what a sacrifice she has . made for him ho Insists that sbe shall retract her confession.. The Governor of Toledo then Offers .her unconditional pardon If she will awaken his (laughter. This Is .lone and Zoraya Is given her freedom. The monks and populace, however, demand her life and there Is every likelihood of her being torn limb from limb. The lovers then decide to take poison and die together, which they do, thus thwarting the human wolves who are hungering for the life of the un- fnrtnnate Moorish girl. The play is less In- tense than are most of M. Snrdou'B tragedies and lacks much of the subtlety which Is usually found In his works, but It Is, never- theless, a strong play, well written and well constructed. Mrs. Campbell, as Zoraya, gave Americans the first true glimpse of what she Is capable of doing. In no role In which we have heretofore seen her has she shown so much reserve force or so much subtletv. In her desire to win Don Enrlquez, Zoraya at first exerts all her wiles upon the moj whom she Intends to be her victim, but, ns she Is made to say, she becomes bis slave. The fine touches which the star gave to her performance were art Indeed. Sbe gave evi- dence of having a broad scope to her pow- ers und the quieter and tempestuous scenes were given with equal art. She was recalled many times and her reception, so hearty and spontaneous, must have been gratifying. Alice Butler, as Afrlda, and Gertrude Cogh- hin as Manuela, gave capital portrayals, and while they each only had a short scene, they scored heavily. Guy Standing was forceful as Don Enriquez, Frederick Perry was ex- cellent In the comparatively short role of the Cardinal, and Puller Melllsh got considerable comedy out of the role of Cleofas. The cast In full: Cardinal Xlmenes, Frederick Perry; Don Enriquez de Palucols, Guy Stand- ing: Lopez de Padllla, George Blddell; Car- denos, L. Kogera Lytton; Cleofas, Fuller Melllsh; Ollvlera, II.

The work was handsomely staged and there is little doubt that Charles Froh- nian has furnished Mrs. Campbell with a vehicle In which she will win great favor. another ma amusement park has been planned for next Summer. It will be situated on the site of Manhattan Field in Eighth Avenue, between ir«Sth and l!>7lh Streets. J. T. Brush, president of the New York Base- lioll Club, who controls the lease of the Man- hattan Field property, aud Thompson & Dun- dy, of Luna Park and the Hippodrome, bave merged Interests and soon will begin the con- struction of the buildings which will cover (he nine acres of land on which the resort will be built, Immediately south of the Polo Orminds.

Between 1,500 and 2,000 men will be put to work. One of the more noteworthy attrac- tions to be presented will be a detachment from the'circus of Edward Wulff, at Brussels, comprising 1G0 performing and plunging horses. This feature will be combined with ■■I her anlmnl performances mid vaudeville acts, the former to be lu charge of Seth Brook, the so-called 'Animal King' of Europe. We shall also bave chutes and scenic railways, >'lie place will differ considerably from Luna Park In that there will be fewer sideshows and more serious entertainments. The hippo- drome which we are to have at Forty-third street and Sixth Avenue will be completed by Jan. l, and we sbnll arrange to transfer much of this show, which will be open only In Witt- ier, to the nptown park for the Summer months."

After a practical retirement from the aoog-writing field, T in* duced Mr. Flynn, after considerable persuasion nnd the pay- ment of a large sum, to place with me Ihe above soug, which accidentally came to my notice. It is sweetly simple, and after once heard the melody and words arc easily rotained; a sure sign of destined popularity. There are extra verses written in Mr. Flynu's most humorous vein, which is-equivalent to saying that comedians and comediennes would experience no trouble in making their audiences laugh apart from their own individual efforts. Further mention of the sterling qualities of this song is unnecessary when it is brought to mind that Mr. Flvnn is the author of the famous "DOWN WENT McGINTY," "THE NIGHT MALONY LANDED IN NEW YORK," "PADDY SHAY," "SPEAK NOT HER NAME," "TELL HER THAT 1 LOVED HER," "THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD," "MOTH- ER'S VACANT OH AIR" and "OH! KITTY, LISTEN TO MY DITTY," the last song written in conjunction with the universal favorite, ANDREW MACK. " W HEN THE SNOW-FLAKES FALL" is the Winter edition of "IN THE GOOD OLD SUM- MERTIME," and, like that song, will become equally as pop- nlar. 1 iss Katy-DidV This is a number that can be used either as a solo, duet, trio, auartette or as an ensemble number, nnd if necessary where a ance is required, can be used for that purpose. This song is treated in a most original manner, and there is no other song on the market that can be used in so many different and effective ways as this one. The lyrics are by Ed. Oardinier, who is re- sponsible for many successes. There are extra humorous verses, and that, in addition to the other ways tho song can be used, covers practically the entire professional Held. So whatever your line may he, this song will lit. 'The More I See" Other Girls (The Belter I like You.') This is a great title, and "the more you hear of other songs the better you'll like this." It is a dainty little love-song, and as for the melody—well, you can't convey in cold type any 1 idea, how pretty and catchy it is, but scyd for it and you'll agree with me that there's none better. I am confident that this song will become a "hit," and I want you to be with me in becoming iden- tified with a "hit." 'Ma Lady Moan.' The writers of this number wrote 'LADY LU," one of tho biggest successes this country has ever known, but I am confi- dent "MA LADY MOON" is—better? No; but just as GOOD. The lyrics are beautiful, and admit of the most novel and pretty stage effects. There's some line harmony in this song, so whether used as solo, duet, trio or quartette it can't be improved upon. 'Heroes That Wear *>• Blue' Ts without question the most original march song ever written. Why.' Because it introduces not only the Soldier, but those other heroes*deserving of mention, the Sailor, the Fireman and the Pol iceman, who arc ever ready at duty's call. The music is martini and melodious, and possesses that "swing" which, in con- junction with its other qualities, will sway your audiences to an extent that will make other march songs pale into utter insig- nificance.
