Vegr'a eve. with an andtence present which tilled' every.' part this magnificent theatre. TBa' play w«s originally presented ut the Taylor Opi'rivJMuse. Trenton, K .!„'Oct. 10. llrOO; and.Thompson £ Dundy nro its projectors. It is a Toilr act play, dramatized by Wlnchell Smith and Byron ou'gley, from tieorge Uflrr MrCutcheon's celebrated book, "Brewster's Million!*." Nothing better In the way of,satire' on frentled finance has'been seen: upon our stage, and It Is a play replete with life and action, possessing no dull moments. Erotn a mechanical and scenic viewpoint, Frederic Thompson' and Wlnchell Smith, under whoso pnpervlslon the play was produced, have done some" remarkable things. Especially Is this ihe case In act three, wherein the illusion is so perfect that the. npectaior feels that he is. witnessing the reality. The sceaery In th(>r net,'nnd also that of act- one, U particularly beautiful. In their dramatization of Mr. McCtttcheon's book. Messrs. Smith and Opglev have taken certain dramatic liberties, but the main theme la nut destroyed) The story tells of the efforts of Montgomery Brewster (Ed* ward Abelea) to spend, in one year, one mil- lion dollars (an inheritance from his grand- father), to obtain seven million dollars, willed under certain conditions to him by aa uncle. The conditions stipulate that while every, penny of the million must be tllsul- pated, he must preserve nhsoltit* secrecy In regard to the whole affair, one condition be- ing that no must form no matrimonial en- gagement dorine the yenr. This cnndlrlon (.■Hiiaes many serious complications in bin love affair with his Bweetheart, Margaret Gray ("Pegcy 1 '); admirably^plny*d by Mary Ryan. The iniiiculMen which the yunng man en- counters In disposing of his million, are car* rled out In a manner most novel, and the whole Idea of the story Is a rare and inter- esting oue. In- his endeavor to spend the money he opens a broker's office, and' em- ploys his friends at big salaries. He rejoices when stocks that'he has purchased go down, but Is dismayed when the same stocks soon soar skyward. He bets S1,000 on a 40 to I selling plater in a race, and, to his dismav, the horse wins for him; be Is arrested r«r auto speeding, and a friend Intercedes with the court, and gets his fine remitted; he. attempts to lose n fortune at Monte Carlo, but hard luck still pursues him, and he breaks the hank, so he charters a yacht nnd takes his friends on a cruise around the world.' This, during a-series of. trying situ- ations' and episodes,' accomplishes his task, and we find him in :tct four in his rooms, just nfter ah auction sale Of. bis effects, completely "broke," and nearly dead from the effects of his ■■terrible tnsk.'* The play tells a Jolly story, alropiy nod directlv, nod was received by ihe big audience with dem- onstrations of • pleasure which augurs well for lis future. Iu tbe main, Mr. Alleles .was fully up to the requirements ot n/quite exacting.roTe; and curtain- recalls for Mm, also for the prinrlpal members ot his very capable company, were numerous at the end of cuch.«ct.
