L'4. Aside from "The Beauty of Bath's" pre- miere, nt the Aldwyeh, on Monday, this week has been one of revival*. Many complain of the old timers being put on view again, but If they tiro an popular as 4he new plnyH, whnr difference does It make. Id not u few caRCH the revivals are better bor office at- tractions than tho brand new productions. The weather Is cold and disagreeable. Seymour Hicks and Cosmo Hamilton know what the Kngllsh playgoers want, ns their ■"Che Ilentity of Troth," done for the first time nt the Aldwyeh on Monday, was voted by all n siicccbh. It Is not a wonderful piny, or one that will stand n thorough going over, but It suits th'e public, and will draw ihe money. What more Is necesBnry? The story Is .a sort of version of "David Onr- rlck." A brief Idea of it: Betty silver. throne comes up from Hath, goes to the the- atre, and falU lu love with an actor, one Mr. Beverley, who Is playing the part of a naval' officer. Mr. Beverley la ihe exact tmauc of n real sailor, Dick Arlington, who arrives In Rugland utter ton years* absence, on tho night of the tbentro-going, nnd being In n hurry to see tila mother, follows her to a playhouse, dressed In duck trousers and a reefer Jacket. Hetty sees Dick, thinks he in Beverley, nnd lovea him more than ever. Kven when sue knows what ho really Is, she stiil lovcri him. But Dick believes that her heart Is the actor's, and to win the girl for him- self he masquerades as the actor, niRkes be- lieve that he Is Intoxicated, hoping tbut be will disgust Betty. lint the latter seen through the disguise, nnd as tho actor loves another, the usual finale oerurs. Mr. Iltcks is the Dick of the piece, nnd Kllaltne Terries the Betty. There Is lots of go to the Mhow. catchy music, pretty scenery nnd costumes, and more than the customary number of pretty girls. Whether It !» another "Catch of thp Season" remains to l« seen. "Measure for .Measure" Is among the most uufanilllar of the Shakespearean plays to the KiiRllsh theatregoers. Its ouly recent repru- sentsrlon was a perforumuce some years ago by Bltsabetb Stage Society, The version of the piny as produced nt the Adelphl has been arranged verv skilfully bv Oscar Asehe. Much or the dialogue which wouldn't be In keep- ing wlih the times has been cut out by Mr. .-who. and, nit told, he has made nn Interest- ing play, it was well received by a full house. _ (Jcorge Bernard Shaw's "Captain Brass- bound's Conversion" revived at the Court Tuesday afternoon, was played originally by tho Stag.! Society some time ago. Kllon Terry was excellent la the principal part. The motive of the play r Brassbonnd k the nephew or Sir Howard Bntlam, nn Kngllsh Judge. The captain lives lu Morocco, and ho and his band of Kngllsh rapscallions make a living In various ways, one of which 1h the escort lug of parlies of tourlHfs tbrotigh the regions that form n happy hunting ground for the native cutthroats, BraHsuound's pet iiverslon Is his uncle, who not only seized an estate, that l>cl<mgi>d to the capi-nln, but also treated Brassbound's mother with un- necessary severity. So that when Sir How- ard nnd his Mister-lu-lnw, Lady Cecily, visit Morocco mid nsk the captain (whose Identity they discover Inter) to take them ns fHr aa tho A tins mountains. Itrasshound, who Is In a position to make bargains with (he native chiefs, sees his chance of revenge, How he Is turned from his uurpswe, persnndod to trim Ids beard and dress up In a frock coat by the simple, fearless, motherly Ludy Cecily, Is the remainder of Iks story. The piny will be pot into i be bill at the Court for a season, com- mencing Master Monday, but lu compliance willi n request from Kllon Terry «:«! Mr. Tree. Vedrcnnc and Barker, malingers of the Court, lmre agreed to close their tlionirc April *J7 fur one night In order to enable Mil's Terrv to appear In a performance of "The Merry Wives of Windsor," at Ills Mn- lestr's on that night. As Miss Terry made lev first appearance on the singe April 99; 1NI.lt, the performance, of "Captain Ilrnas- Ironiid's Con version," at the Court, April °.M, liMiu, will be treated by the managers In n jqu'i-lii] sense ns a cuiiuueuiuratioii production. .1.

Compared with the farces of to-day It struck the audience as being rather dull. To-nlcht we have the revival of "The Man from' Rlankley's" at the Hnymarket. Charles Hawirey heading a very strong company. The present snow at the Hippodrome Is ex- cellent. I went Monday night, as It was the opening of the new water spectacle. The house was filled, aud the members of the large au- dience enthused over every act on the bill, rfcffM InhM no ekceptlons. The touch and go travesty, "Among the Stars," remains a feature of the hill, during which the rnriotis vfttidevllllans Introduce their spoofnltlea. It has boon touched up In souie of tho weaker parts, nud now that Bert Gilbert Is buck, a new Ien<io of life has Icon given the travesty. Frobel and Huge did their acrobatic aerial act. and scored n most pronounced and well deserved hit. Lavater Lee pleased with his donkey acr.

The closing num- ber on the bill was "The Flood," a dra- matic nnd realistic spcctnculnr episode. It was written by Arthur Shirley, music by Clarence C. Corrl. and produced by Frank Parker. The latter has put on some wonder- ful shows at the Hippodrome since he has been connected with ihe establishment, but the current one lonres the others all in the shade. The cllouix Is one of the most realistic and striking sensations I have ever wit- nessed. The net Ion of the little drama takes place in the lake village of Itlpplemcre, which Is situated In a picturesque Kngllsh county. A "villain" In the person of a strong man, Italian, by nationality, makes love.to tho newly wedded wife of a young and strong farmer. During the wedding cele- bration remarks are made of an approach- ing storm nnd also of a great flood that took plnce years ago, sweeping all before It, but all Is forgotten In the moment of merriment. Wrestling matches are Indulged In by differ- ent town "celebrities." nnd finally the strong man challenges the raau who baa won lite woman ha covets. Just as tho farmer ihi'owtf his man, the storm breaks. There is a roll of thunder, sad rain cornea down In torrent*, There is a real fall of water. It coming from pipes nt the t<m of Ihe house.
