The 'weather Is delightful. • * Beerbobm Tree produced it curious little one net piny, nt Ills Jlnjcsty's, last Saturday night. The name Is "The van Dyke," and It Is an adaptation by Cosmo (lordon Lennox, from a lircnclt play. The story has to do with John' Peters, who Is a'cowardly little person, with a passion for collecting line pictures, line violins, line, china, and no on, when ho c:tn buy them nt a tiny proportion of their Tiiltte. lie. Is also n musician of a very;amateurish' order. Air alone In bis nat, one night, he receives a visit from Arthur Blslr Woldlngliatn, who forces himself upbn Mm. smoken his cigarettes, and talks for hours. The story of his life, which he re- lates at crnnt length, Is Involved and horrible, and so Peters realizes tlmt MM visitor Is a lunatic. To his Intense pleasure there Is nt last a rush outside, and enter a doctor and two keepers, wbo seise Woldliigham, after a realistic struggle. The doctor advises l'elers to go Into the next room. lie docs, the key Is turned on him, and lunatic, doctor and the two keepers nt once become'n gang Of burg- lars, who strip the flat, even taking away the piano and carpet, and only leaving ueblnd a reputed Van Dyke, which Woldln'shnm knows Is spurious. Mr. Tree und Wecdon tlrossmitb are seen In the leading purls. "The. Gipsy Girl," a new musical play, by Claude Arundatc, the story of which I gave a few weeks ago, wns done for the first ilmo nt the Waldorf last night.

Mr. Waller llks ulso now In preparation Tom Taylor's well known phijr, ''Lady Clancnfty." and, follow- ing the short revival of "Monsieur Boau- enlre," be will produce about tho middle of April. It Is now about nlnoteen years since "Ladv Clancnrty" was played for a _scison In London, by the Kcndnls. nt the St. Jntnes'. and on that occasion Mr. Wnlicr was lilmselt a member of the company that appeared lu It.

The stoiv : Dorothy Knlrfn.v, almost on the eve of lier murrlage with Dick liascoync, learns that her in-tended husband Is tho father of the child of Cbrysta! Wrlde, n girl who gets her living on the music hall stage. Tho wedding Is postponed. Gascoyne goes abroad, (iixl Chrystul nlianilons lier boy to tho kindly ciro of Dorothy, who presently Adopts nnd brings lilui up as lier own. Hcandul'comes ot this, and innocent Dorothy illes to a water- ing pluiv lu the hope thtit It will not follow lier. After eight yenrs she again encounters 'iuscornc, who, coming home and not Ondlhg lier. has married the woman be had betrayed. Dorothv still love; him, and be him lost none of li Ik 'regard, for hor. Bho learns all about his nmrrcigc, but she nearly yle'ds when he would pursuado her to Jiilu her fortune with Ills. Then cobics Mle problem : Shall she give up tho child to .whom she is so devoted'.' Of course, In I he. end, tho author finds it why to reward iter for her rlrtuis. and botn elie nud (luscoyne are on Ibelr way to get married when lie: curtain falls. The play Is described on the hills us n comedy, hut-It comeli more In tho lino of aprbblcm play.

The MMiiiiiin Trio opened at tiio Allrambru on Monday and were voted by all who saw theiii to be the best exponents of wire wulklug ever eecn in this city.
