Sllss Dean sus- tained the title role In n highly commendable manner In tins presentation. Fritz! Scheff') engagement In ".Mile. Modiste" was seriously marred hy the inability of the prima donna to sing except during a portion of the Urn evening of nor engagement, lu. 17. Her role wan mlmtrabt.v sustained bv her under- study, who made n very favorable Impres- sion, and fully deserved I lie cordial recog- nition she recrlvcd. The company was an excellent one, and the stage pictures und set- tings elaborate. "The Gingerbread Man," with a company of nearly one hundred peo- ple, gave a blghly satisfactory production 20, -l. before audiences that completely tilled the theatre. The pluy Is bright In every detail, the music of good quality nnd tuneful, nnd well rendered. The comedy work, of which llierc Is considerable. In ex- ceptionally well presented, nnd the stage set- tings are on a very elaborate scale. The play In Its entirety deserves to be commend- ed and bears the umnlstukuble elements of suc- cess. "In Gay New York," presented by Ban Mason, supported by n fairly good company, 23. The audience wm of good size and generous In applause. Mr. Mason appears In the role of a Gcrmnu ladles' tailor. There Is little semblance of a plot, but the chorus girls are pretty nnd attractively attired, nnd sing and dance well, all of which contributes to the success of the presentation. Louise Siuitc.nl (formerly known as "Lou" San- ford), who sustained the role of the German tailor's wife, Is remembered by tho older ClientrogocrH of this clly. She was lu vaudeville (then termed variety) n score of yeurs ngo. She it lit sings In good voice.
