It; .aermed to lunch the right, sort of chord on the opening night, and beneath the friend- liness of the "lli'Mt performance" spplaunc there was h alnceiity of approbation that could nut be mistaken. At the opening of ita'alary It appears thut the Manncnt, Child- lelgTi and .Marlon, are keening their heada nbovo -water only by almost superhuman ex- ertion : Marlon, through the teachings of her family, being a high flier of the llrni calibre. Shi! puts, no restraint upon her desires for "appearances," and, as a result, the Child- lelgli Manners have moved Into h palace that they find Impossible to keep up. Result; the crash, the tiuclluiilng off of all their beau- tiful possessions, ami the suicide of Cjiud- lelgh. Marlon, overcome by the calamity, la cent to a Hiinttiirliiui by John Stirling, a former admirer, hut now her fiiinlly physician.

At first her pleadings fall on deaf curs, mid chuuilierlnln, un auctioneer, who has risen hi the world until now.he calls himself, an "art collector," lolls Marlon that ha, own* the whole family, and demands, that she marry him In order that the Kays may avert the threatened disaster, nut .Marlon, now completely changed from a butterfly to a tender, considerate woman, refuses Cham- berlain, prevails upon her people to return to lha nullities nf life, anil the simplicities of eilsteticc, and accepts the. love of the family doctor. John Stirling, who tins point- ed out to her tin' right way of things. Dorothy Donnelly, as Marlon, the frivolous and hysterical "mover." who later becomes the KciiHlhle and lovable woman, did work that was nothing abort of brilliant. Her lin- ing when the llliusy structure of falan hopes comes ennobling down : about her, and Chud- lelgh, the weak fool, haa blown out Ida lirulna, won » fine piece of telling emo- tional work, given without rant and with remarkable naturalness.

Lawrence,. manager).—Mr. Lawrence's llrxi new production of the season was made at thla house evening of Wednesday, Sent. 1, when a three act farce, by (lihcc Livingston Kumiss, entitled "The Man on the Case." was given- lis tirjt presentation on any stage. Tho play Is decidedly frothy entertainment, with no marked Ingenuity shown In Its con- ception or treatment, but the complications resulting from the old theme of mistaken Identity hold the Interest well, and after a rather dull flixt art Is over, the piece moves briskly and Hiicccssfiilly forward. The sec- ond act. tbc best of the Ihrce, la unite funny, and although the last act Ix full of digres- sions, It has a great deal that Is worth while In It, and ends with a rainstorm I hat Is I he real article, both literally and dgurntlve- ly. Miss Kumiss hue not drawn her char- acters well, but she has given them some good lines, and the situations are generally amus- ing. Summed up, the little play, billed as a "rollicking comedy," Is quite entertaining. It tells of how Cnrroll Dempsey, Introduced Into the home of the Longacrea. falls In love with Nell, the daughter, on first sight, and determines to win her on his merits, If, he can. for It teems that he Is suf- fering wllh the burden of |:jo,0«O,(HHi, and fears that all women will look first at his. bank role, and then at him. Just nt the time of his arrival the Longacrea are expecting a. detective named Betterton, who Is going to attempt the ferreting out of a Jewel robbery that Mrs. Longucrc has hist reporled. Carroll consequently determines In pose as Uetterton, and gets the detective to pretend that he Ik the young millionaire. Carroll wins Nell's love on his own merits as n man, for she iells him that all of the money that the makc-bcllove Carroll Deinp- xey possesses, could not mukc her love him. Jameson Ise Kinney pluycd the young mil- lionaire wllh decided cleverness. Mr. Finney is an actor of versatility, as his years of work on I he New York stage has proven, but he scums most at- home in comedy roles. He was thoroughly nt his eaaa In the part of Carroll Dempsey, aud made that . worthy scion of a house overburdened with' wealth a likeable, manly chap. Charles Lamb, as the slangy detective, gat plcntv of laughs by bis excellent delivery of the funny lures allotted him, and Elsie Leslie, as Nell Dongttcre, looked charming and did as well as her poorly drawn charac- ter would permit. Wm. Herbert, as Carroll's uncle, u bluff, big hearted fellow, made a great deal of the rharucter. which was a small utie. Mr. Herbert scored one. of the biggest bits of the evening. Murv Hump- ton, as Mrs. Longnrrr, had no chance to show the sterling acting qualities for which she has won fume. Fred Vy. Peters did some commendable work as a chauffeur, and (."hea- ler \V\ Iteoornft. ax Hunter, a hutjnr. was more natural in the part than uny actor who has played a similar role here In n long time.

Thclsc and Mr. Phillip, from the (li-rman of Mr. Phillip. It Is understood that the ploy made a great success on the other side, bat for the local stage it lacks many qualities which arc conducive to the longevi- ty of a production. It drags very much, Its construction seems to be of anotucr and re- mote period, and there Is very little fun In It. Some of the musical numbers arc good, however, and the audience liked these, and applauded the singing of Mr. Phillip and tbc work of- the other players. Barney Bernard made a very good Jew, and Anna Boyd, as an Irish girl, was most pleasing, especial- ly In her singing. Wm. Cale, In make-up and acting, was the good humored Irish- man to the life.
