Fales. uinuager ot "When the Bell Tolls," as per route In. this Issue, a child "by an early marriage, which he per- suades Ids wife that It Is bts parental ditty to provide for. Mrs. Williams mag- nanimously granted him an extra hundred each month for the support of the child. The wily Williams, while pretending to foi> ward the hundred dollars each month to the guardians of bis fictitious Child, reserved it for his own use, enjoying occasional visits to New York "on business.' On the occasion of their silver wedding, however. Mrs. Will- lams brings eonfuslou luto ctuip by Insisting upou adopting the long neglected child. She compels Williams. In ber usual masterly man- ner, to write a tetter to his sod, Inviting him le live In their home. The-complications orislne from this misunderstanding afford the richest possible material for genuine wholesome comedy. The sketch abounds In bright'dialogue and In the funniest situations possible. It ran about twenty minutes, on the full stage. ♦ «» Flake aad McDonooayh. O. T. Klske and Nellie McDonongh offered their latest, a sketch hilled "Lk'fiBy's Dilem- ma," at Pastor's last week, and Its bright lines, coupled with the eleycr manner In which It was acted, carried it to complete success. Mr. Flake Is Its author, and he has started out with an idea that Is away from the beaten path, and Is-developed along Interest- ing and entertaining lines. , , . The. back drop shows a station Of tho elevated road, with a newsstand right under the stairway. This stand is In charge of Denuy'S sister, who Is bemouniftg Hie fact that Denny is a general good-for-nothing, and Is likely to be arrested for "dolujt tip-' a joung fellow In a rough-and-tumble. Denny's father enters, defends the young man In u dispute with the daughter, and then uenny, with his union card proudly displayed, tells tho sUtei- th«t no member or the union ever dares work. Ho finally begs from the girl oil the money she has. and then offers lier the Joyful prospect of walking home with him. Mr. I<"lskc. as the old gcntlnman, gave a bit of fine character acting, his tpake : up and proved aselever as of yore. Hall McAllister, as Square, gave her Stte kid, and John 'Itn- malne appeared to advantage as the valet. The sketch ran about twenty-four mluutcs, on the full stage. <f— ) "lH/e N«>d Monrj." Rath Allen and ber company appeared at the Twentv-lhlrd Street last week, In a one set play by Chas. Kenyon. entitled "We Need Motiev." The piece begnn well, but its far- fetched incidents nnd flaring Improbability precluded Ibc possibility of Its winning com- ptet4 success. Mr. : Kenyon makes the hero receive a check for $250,000, and then try to run It up Into an eveu million, just because the father ot the girl Insists that it Is a million ot nothing Mfors the ringing of the wedding Christmas Day, nnifuiost of the large bells. Wl.ftt the poverty stricken hero, with accept Ibis., Hut .lloxlng buy Is w only 8250,000 to his name, wanted to worry significance In Scotland, where. Ihoy nbo'nt. Is hot cle.-.r.. There Is a great' deHl of commotion aa the tickers show how wheat, which the young man buys for a rise In tho market, first drops until all the f2'i0,000 Is threatened, nnd the poor fellow has to "dis- pose of his house on T.ong Island" to raise more money' for margins. Then the rising prices ou the commodity bring the nwessury million into the hands ot tbe love-sick mau, and the curtain falls as he gets the girl.' Miss Allen, well remembered for good work in Xew York in former days, did nicely with the role of Nancy Hock, tbe girl In the ca«<, and made her meagre changes count for a great deal. Alfred Ivraui made a lilt ns the father, a pari that he played with convincing severity. Ctins. Kenyon mid A. 11. Kenyon also did good work. The sketch ran about twenty-four minutes. 011 the full stage. ,'' << ■• ' r«ts>- Doyle. Palsy Doyle, at tho Union Square last week, made a trlt with his monologue.

Recently, a milptured roprcsoulntlotf of n brown dog was croctod lu ono of the suburban parks, with an Inscription, upropos tn vivisection, held to lie Insulting In Hludrnt* of surgorj.

This week there has been bul oue theatrical "prodnctlon," namcl;* "The Agitator," as u curtain raiser- to ''Brewster's .Millions," at tho Uleks Theatre. It Is by Mrs, Oscar Ber- Ingor, bat does nut fulfill the promise ot her earlier work. It Is too sentimental. Tim agitator Is a khtgbt of labor. The Idea Is that a girl's self sacrifice averts n strike. Mrs. Hvrlngcr meant, no doubt, to mggest that the working women of to-day can match Joan of Arc from their ranks. Wcntxvorth Crake, the touring manager, who teased ''The Christian" to tbe Smith- Carpenter svndlcntc fur the season nt tho Lyceum which turned out so well, Is dis- posed to try the ;ilay "oil Ills own" now. Ho Installed It nt the Shaftesbury Theatre on Thursday, with Mntheson Lang ns Joint Sturm, and Alice Crawford as Ulury tiuayle. A newcomer Is Agnes Hewitt, Who seldom admirable rep- ' nes Htwltt Cremona Oar ; dens. In a general way, tlieolrlcal busliless Is Very bad. Six houses nre said to have con- tained nn atcrugc ot "IGU one night this week. Had weather and the approach of Christmas are Jointly responsible for the trouble. Houses taut make n feature of a Christmas pantomime or fairy play, ore closed down—for Instance, Unity Luue, the Lyceum and the Adolphl. Many other houses would be glad of an excuse to do so. Tho dramatic houses especially nnd the Christmas season unprofitable. Interest In the current attraction Is depressed, and the moment Im regarded, as Inopportune for n revision Ot tho (programme. Some or the provincial pantomimes nro already In full swing. Tbe London tradition Ik, of course, lioxhig Night, which ensues to cities IthoUl have log his jokes.
