Watch for Special Anno<uicenieut SWEET SIXTEEN DELIGHTS. (Ooatlnned tarn pam 4.) "It irill be weB. to speak Unit'at once in praise of the mnsic at When Sweet Sixteen, and to make appreciative* mention of tlie pleas- ant liglit voices, tlie gracefjol daneing and the nimble cleverness t>f aHi'tBe company. "Baeic of the maslc and the intermittent randeviUe which grows from iSx. Hobart's Ideas is a general scheme of satire on the newly rich. Papa vrants danghter to marry a moneyed miser: mamma lias eyes on a Scot- tish lord, and danghter finally chooses the pre- snmptive secretary of the miser. Xhns will •weet sixteen have a mind of her own. "Plot and satire are neither bete nor there when the action of the song-'play is once under way. A .manlenre icirl .named Gertie has the awing-of- flie newly , tf A one's mansion, a whole yoonp ladies* seminary outfit is on constant call for cboms effects, and everything happens generally-as It does, only in farce-comedy land. **Mr. Herbert personally condncted the or- chestra and was, a che^ol vision to the large audience." The Times reviewer is franic to express the following criticism: "The nrinclpal tones of the piece are Graft. The Wild Bose, Honey CiOve, Hearts are Tromps, and Rosalind. These bave^ melody and swing to recommend them. There are - novelties . la the orchestration,' a feature one may always expect in a Herbert score. Theres\is a veix.clever nse of-the dmm IB :Ob, Xhose Boys, the French bom plays Its snbtle part in Hearts are Trumps, and the sCorementioned fife In Graft canght many ears besides Kitty Gordon's, who was there In a box. *'In one instance the sonjc called The Golden I/on" Ago, Mr. Hobart seems to have listened carefally to the words of There Were Two Prince's Children from The Uetry Widow. However, he. soon forgot The Merry ,Widow to plunge into the I>angh song, which closed the act, and wUch tells how tiiey langh In opera in the South and many other places. ^Hils. with Mr^ Herbert's accompanying music,' and the perfornjanee by the company, brought the curtain down; with good effect. It had to be raised many times. Fart of the finale was re- peated, and finally 3Ir. Herbert and BIr. Ho- bart appeared to share the applause. "Perhaps the three actors who were Intrusted with these three roles had sometbim: to do with the snccess with which they were IHO- Jected beyond the footlights. At any rate, they were the most^ successful in the cast. WHUam Norris Was Mr. Todd, Harry S. Fern, Zeke, and AXlss Eva Williams, Gertie Greene. "The chorus was comely and sang well; the orchestra played with spirit under Mr. Her- bert's directlour the piece was prettily mount- ed, and'the costumes were charming in a simple way. And When Sweet Sixteen contains Bennngh comedy and entertaining mnsie to while ^Ktray an evening for many people." pSAID AND SEEN ON CHICAGO'S RIALTO.
