The success of the per- formance waS assured from the first act, Mr. liltrlcbsleln's bright lines and a remarkably high class performance on ■ the part of all who were entrusted with the characters being rvsponlsble for the continuous inter- est of'(he piece, which Is rather difficult y, because of an odd and melodramatic feat- ures, 'mere is nothing new In the funda- mental Idea Of the story, nor does the work win any great honors beyond those to which the more effervescent class of plays aspire, hat Its treatment Is most agreeaDle, Its char-' ncter drawing Is In several Instances on a, plane with-the author's best work, and there Is a gepd pace set by the "action" .it the est or toe piete, wiu to classify Droperly, mingling of .farcical ni urea.

German their honeymoon. tr§i. Baird loses his purse, an adve-nturous , young prince of Saxen- hausen, who Is traveling Incognito, finds It, and sends It .to.o banker ln one of the big continental.cities. In the meantime, Balrd and Harriet are* In sore distress as to the means whereby they are to meet their board Mils, and finally they hit upon the Idea of giving a concert, lii the place, with Harriet posing as an Italian, songstress. The prince, who has lust. closed an escapade with an actress, becomes infatuated with Harriet, and offers- to help the Balrds In their con- cert. The affair.Is a great financial success, l-ut a bungling chief of police, who Is In search of the prince, mistakes Balrd for bis royal highness, abducts the American, and thus leaves Hnrriet In a pretty mess, with the prince forcing his attentions upon her, nnd an uncertainty as to the fate of her husband. But at length Baird returns ti> rescue .bis wife from the ardent wooing of the prince, matters arc explained to the chief of police, and the Interrupted honey- moon la happily resumed. Miss Mannerlng made the character of the sorely tried young bride a most charming one. - She failed at no point In either the light or seri- ous situations .which word assigned her, and struck ; a note of sincerity that rang trbo throughout In a quarrel sceno In the. 'first act her work was especially good. Arthur Byron, .who 1" once more In- stalled as a leading man, woa natural, easy, and very effective as a prosaic young man of the world, and Thomas A. Wise gave to the role of an Inflated and wooden-headed Ger- man chlerf of police a most humorous ren- dering. -The prince was capitally played by Henry Koiker, .who gave the role a delight- ful fialsh by a repose of manner that wos excellent. The head waiter, as played hv Edward See, .was an entertaining bit. and the others of thewmpany did very well.

Is the regular attraction here this week and next, at even- ing performances, with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. A decided Improve- ment was noticed on Jan. 4 In the perform- ance la general, and Mr. Daly's pplendld work, together with the remarkably reposeful and quiet force of Dorothy Donnelly's charac- terization, won unstinted praise from tie au- dience. Dodson Mitchell and Louise dosser re- peated the successes they previously won, and the newcomers to the company. Herbert Manding nnd Ernest Lawfortl, were excel- lent. Mr. Standing wus particularly effec- tive as the cold.blooded, calculating English father.-iuid the good points In the role were nil well scored. Tho east: Rev. James antra? Morell, Dodson Mitchell; Eugene March- Unks. Arnold Daly; Mr. Burgess, Herbert standing; Lexy Mill, Ernest .Luwford; Pros- erpine, Louise Clos?e r ; Candida, Dorothy Donnelly.- i . . f .. , KosTfin ft Bt.iL's former playhouse at Nos. 115 and '117 West Twenty-third Street, run- ning through to 'Nob. 108 and 110 West Twenty-fourth Street, has been leased for a term of twenty-one years by the owners, the Darling estate, to French & Graham.

To follow, dy, was given at the Garrlck Theatre, for one performance, matinee of Wednesday, Dec. 30, by Fay Davis and the Frohman Com- pany. The play then received Its first Amer- ican bearing. It was originally in five nets,, and was first produced at the St James The- atre, London, Eng., on Sept. 1, 1000, under the title of "A Debt of Honor," Miss Davis then playing the leading female role, Gypsy, In which she appeared at the matinee 30. The work gave no promise of attaining suc- cess on our stage, and it Is a matter of won- der that It achieved the success in England which reports concerning its production there credited It with. Apart from several well written and Intelligently played scenes which Miss Davis dominated, there was of- fered by the author simply a waste of dia- logue, which was frequently Irrelevant to the Btory, ' nnd witty only at brief Intervals. It tells of how ambition, perched upon the shoulders of George Carlyon, an English barrister, prompts him to give up a young woman, Gypsy, with whom be nan been living for ten years, and marry Isabel Holrnyd, the daughter of an influential mer- chant. Gypsy bears the blow of separation stoically while In the presence of her lover, but withers and droops to an alarming ex- tent afterward. Her friend, James Antrobun, endeavors-to enlist feminine aid ln his efforts to console her, and, as he knows nothing of her former associations with Carlyon, he strikes quite by accident upon Mrs. Carlyon as the one to whom to appeal. She sympa- thetically hastens to sec Gypsy, and later Carlyon enters, the usual complication follow- ing, and Gypsy destroys herself by drink- ing landanum. Fay Davis did some fine suppressed emotional acting In the second net, and ln the final scenes also did splendid work, while Edgar Selwyn made the best impression of any of the male contingent by bis work as the sympathetic friend. Guy Standing, who bad no real op- portunities, was good in so far as the role permitted him to be, and Wm. H. Crorapton plnyed -a hypocritical minister with a clever and sure conception. Ray Rockman did well as the wife, nnd a hit was very capably contributed by Doris Keane, an a servant. The cast: George Carlyon, Q. C„ Gny Stand- ing; Sir Jacob Holroyd, M. V., George It. Kurague.; James Antrobus, Edgar Selwyn ; Ralph Graham, George Irving; Reverend Ah- nalom Baxter, W. H. Crompton; Secretary, Frederick Raymond; Isabel Holroyd, Ray Itockman; Gypsy Floyd, Fay Davis; Yverte, Doris Keane.
