On Saturday, Sept. 17, Sydney saw several new productions for the first time. At Her Majesty's Theatre the product'on ol "Sunday," n piece with simple pathos and homely sentiment of backwood existence In Colorado, was Interpreted by a very powerful cast, headed by Miss T'lttel Brune, who was very ably supported by Edmund Gwenn. "Whiri-I-Glg" was also staged ut the Palace Theatre for . the tlrst time here on Saturday night. The piece is a short one and is therefore succeeded after the only Interval by "Pousse Cafe." Of course, as usual, Kolb, Dill and Barney Bernard play conspicuous roles, while Maude Amber and Wlnfteld Blake nre a host of strength to the company. The dialogue Is all the time brisk, pleasant and boisterously humorous, although it Is unfortunate that the five star .players do not Introduce more songs and dauces In their turns. Summed up, however, tbe whole oloy Is clever tomfoolery, most skilfully elaborated and pleasantly Indulged In by the principal comedians. At Che Criterion Theatre, "The Other r.~ V 7 ! — "Vni —.iT- - irHILZ."! n«„^, .

Full requirement of the building laws regulating the construction of theatres lu this city has been complied with, especially In the matter of exits. The theatre proper 1b situated on West Forty-first Street nnd occupies a plot 100x100 feet The main entrance extends through to No. 2.11 West Forty-second Street This portion of tbe building Is 10O feet In length by twenty-five feet in width and Includes the vestibule, lobby nnd foyer nnd three stories devoted to olhce purposes. The Forty-second Street front rises to a height of sixty-five feet from the sidewalk line. Tho auditorium is seventy-two feet wide by sixty feet from the back wall to* the footlights. Back of the orchestra chairs is a grand promenade, seventy-two feet in length by twelve feet In width. At either end of this promenade r.paclous marble staircases lead to the first Imlconv. The stage, which possesses every advanced electrical and mechanical equip- ment, is seventy-two feet wide by thirty-six feet deep from the footlights to tho Forty, llrst Street wall. The proscenium opening is tlilrty-slx feet wide by thirty-three feet high. The height of the theatre struct uro Is seventy feet and the stage house ninety- live feet The height from stage to grid- iron is seventy feet. The height of the audi- torium from floor to dome Is elxty feet. It is one of ibe finest and best appointed the- atres In New York. There are 04« chairs on the orchestra floor and eight boxes, built on the suspension system, each with a seating capacity for six people. There nre no boxes on the lower floor nnd the full stage can be seen from anv sent In the entire house, whether In the; orchestra or balconies. The main entrance on Forty-second Street is sup- plemented os nn exit by a wide court on each side of the theatre, running Into Forty-first Street, providing separate exits on both slde3 of the house from the auditorium and both balconies. Besides these there are two large protected staircases f>n the north side of the house. These courts nre twelve feet Wide. There nre five exits Into thera from the orchestra floor, besides the main entrance from Forty-second Street From the first balcony there arc four exits Into them nnd the tw'o grand staircases lending to the main iloor dad Forty-second Street From the second balcony there are six exits into them, beside two entirely Isolated Interior fireproof staircases, not connecting with any other part of the theatre, running to Forly-ilrst Street. These, with the main entrance stair- case, make nine fireproof exits from the sec- ond or upper bnlcony, which has a seating capncltv of only. 264 people. This gives t\ventv-'one separate interior fireproof exits, exclusive of An elaborate system of exterior fire escape galleries on all sides of tho build- ing. Tho dressing rooms nre situated on the Forty-first Street side, and are provided with exterior flro escape galleries, with exits tu the street nt Loth oLds of the building. Filled to capacity it Is claimed that tho the- atre can he emptied from top to bottom la less than two minutes. -No Interior stair- rase In tbe building Is lest than nine feet In width. All patrons of the theatre w.lll enter at tho Forty-second street entrance. The principal motif In the architectural dec- oration of the theatre is suggested by the ornamentation of the Forty-second Street facade—the liberty bell Burmonhted by an eagle—and Is carried through the entire de- sign to the arches over the proscenium and boxes. The main entrance on Forty-second Street Is flanked on either- side by carlatldes leprcscntlng comedy and song, and In also treated In tho same picturesque style as the remainder of the decorations. The vcstlbulo has an arched dome extending In from tho sidewalk about twenty feet Then follows Ihe lobby, extending about thirty feet Here doors of handsomely embossed leather swing Into a spacious foyer about fifty feet la length. Patrons of the first and second bal- conies will go up a wide grand staircase Im- mediately facing the foyer, while thoso who purchase orchestra scats will turn to the right into the grand promenade and orches- tra. The ladles' retiring room nod tbe gentlemen's smoking room lead from tho foyer. The mural decorations, designed by V. BIchard Anderson, are In kcop- Ing with tbe general character of the theatre.

The pluster ornamentation of tbe proscenium arch and the boxes, which Is very rich nud ornate, follows the lines of tho structural steel.

Over tbe boxes, on cither side of the proscenium arch, tbe feature of tbe urn u men tat Ion Is an eagle with wings out. spread surmounting a liberty bell.
