Xorval McOregor played with fervor nnd general good effect, nnd Albert Howson rendered n good account of himself as the Jesuit. Joseph Kggerton made a good Frenrb- innn. and Jullnn fieed, John Westley. Gerald Griffin nnd Edwin Fowler did capable work.

Hickory Wood nnd Arthur Collins, and adapted for the American stage by John J. McNally, with lyrics by George WHobart, and music by Frederick Solomon. Mother Goose is fa- miliar to us all through the collection of nursery rhymes accredited to her, of which we all have fond recollection. The Mother Oooso of the spectacle, however, has to do only with the goose that lays the golden eggs, nnd Jack nnd Jill, of the pall of water in- cident, nre her son and daughter, respective- ly. Not having seen the English version it Is difficult to any whether the original nutbors or Mr. McNnlly should bear the luame for the weakness of the book as It now Is. But, whoever It is, surely he deserves criticism, for It is lamentably weak and spiritless. It lacks the dash and brightness ot the several other spectacular works which have come from our English cousins during the past few years. Many of the lyrics are good and some of the music deserves praise. Scenlcnlly, however, the production is su- perb. Nothing grander has been seen on the local stage In maay ft day, and the many scenes ns they como to view, one after an- other, evoke storms of applause for their splendor. "Tho Land of Heartsease" was a particularly striking scene, and the tableau which followed was handsome in color effect. The ballet numbers were not up to those usually seen in similar productions, but this deficiency wns mnde up for by the chorus num- bers. There were a number of interpolated songs which found favor, prominent nmong iliein being "Laughing Water" nnd a "Jay" song, both rendered by Harry Bulger and (•bonis. Joe Cnwthorne, In the title role, scored ii success. Almle Angeles made nplenslngi.'aro- llne K. G. Scragga. Bat the success of the evening was made by Leila Mclntyre, in her Juvenile imitations. She also did capable work In the role of Jill.

The yacht is commanded by Captain Cotterlll, who Is In love with Aileen. At a small coast city they drop anchor to pick up an American heiress, Marjorle Bell, who Is the 'ward of Lord Poverlsh, and whom Lady Arabella wishes to marry off to her son Desmond. The heiress spurns the idea of being disposed of In this fnahlon on the matrimonial market, nnd, meeting nn American soubretle, who has stranded in Turkey and Is working her way home, offers to change places with ncr tem- porarily to find out whether Desmond Po- verlsh loves her for herself or for her money. Winnie Walker, tho sonbrette, then assumes the role of heiress. Incidentally there ar- rives a German manufacturer of patent pills, Kntuse, with his two daughters, who have also taken quarters as paying guests on board the yacht. The Inn keeper, who by night leads n band of brigands, plans a double kidnapping, In wblcb the young Lord Poverlsh and the American .hetress are to he held for a handsome-ransom. Be mistakes Krause for the lord, and Winnie Walker for the heiress, and tbe climax ot the first act shows the abduction and the determination of Captain Cotterlll to liberate the captives. The aecoad act shows the lair of the bandits, with Krause and Winnie In captivity. Here comes Desmond to rescue his lady iove, for he has fallen in love with Winnie, not for her supposed wealth, but for herself. Here, too, come other members of the party, only to be surrounded by bandits, and eventually rescued by Captnln Cotterlll, who receives the hsnd of Aileen Poverlsh as his reward.
