Munich, where tickets had to be reserved weeks and even months ahead, at five or six times tho regular prices, Dlrektor Ambers; tnsile up his mind to give the New Yorkers a "treat"' by making us acquainted with Often* bach's operetta In Its new shape. Conse- quently tho boose was sold out on the nlirht of Feb. 27, and, to Judge from the reception with whldi the production was welcomed, will be for many a day to come. "Die Sckone Helena," In Its present pro- duction, la hardly more than a travesty on the original operetta, aa practically everybody taking part In It (actors as well as mo- ildana) does Just as he plcaaes, giving the visitor tbe Impression that he Is "being tlddsd." which la hardly an agreeable one. Ilcaldes, several of the cast, as Frl. Blchard ind Vtrheyn, have done away with tights and even stockings, a fact which Is by no means pleasing to the eye. While the pleasant music of Offenbach has been retained with all Its charm, the text hid been adapted by the various players, and happenings or to-day hecn taken In account. For Instance, King Menelaus' remark, •when ho surprises his wife Helena with Paris, "I will send yon to state prison for thirty jean," brought forth roars of laughter from the audience, who apparently enjoyed the Wot to Its roll extent Frl. Grete Meycr'a statuesque beanty appeared to the beat adS vantage as Helena, although her voice la hardly sufficient for this ambitions role, while Hen Verhcyn was much more plcaslnr to the ear than to tho eye, as he Is somewhat too stout for tbe Greek yonth. Horren Lamberg asd Home were comical as ever aa Menelaus sol Kaichsa. FrL Richard was a little too roach 'heavy weight" as Orestes. The chorus had quite strenuous work to do, as It has to changa twice during tho first act. The or- chestra had been enlarged, and played tho beautiful mualc so well that conductor Giant had to bow, together with Dlrektor Amberg, after tuo second act, for the enthusiastic ap- plause tendered thorn.

Mates and Kane, a man and woman, with an excellent comedy Instrumental act, were the first to hit tbe boards, snd they received a good bit of applause for their good work. Tyson and wllks.

Wlldlah and company. In their sketch with a moral, "Itio Poolroom,*' ran tho stock a close race for first honors on tho bill. The act has played In this vicinity before, and is a hit on any bill. The Four Wilsons, acrobats, closed tbe show with as old time slapstick acrobatic act, which was the only weak spot on the hill. The three boys Jumping Into a barrel at one tlmo Is their only stunt. The others are mediocre. The fllma used this week are: "Hypnotic infective" (Hellgl. "Floral Parade In San Diego (Kalem), ,7 Pathe Weekly, No. 8," "The Spirit of the Gorge" (Edison), "Umbrellas to Mend" (Vltagraph), "Tho Mender of Nets" (Blograph), "Artlatlc Venice" (Cln-es), "All On Account of the Porter" {Basnnay), ' Flnhgonrd Harbor" (Bclipse). "Frolicsome nnesle" (Gaumont), "Gingerbread Cupid" (T.ubln), "In the Bight of Way" (Mefles) And others. s Proctor'a Twenty-third Street (F. F. Proctor, tngr.)—At this popular house last week there were several acts on the bill which will probably be heard from again. The motion pictures were more Interesting thin usual, the Kssanay film, "Do Dreams Come True?" and the Edison Company's "How Motion Pictures Are Made" being particu- larly good. The bill sa seen Friday evnnlng was as follows: A vocal act entitled "Boys in Blue," con- sisting of thirteen men, held the attention of the audience for fifteen minutes. Tho first half was devoted to military drills' that got a little tiresome. In the latter half the scenery Is good, showing a fort from tho In- side and electric signals from different points outside. A sham battlo takes place, after which the scaling of n high wall la shown. 1'ourcher amused for ten minutes. The Pctlto Sisters, two good looking young women, deserve special mention. They open in white skirts and sweaters, making a change to purplo pajamas, and closed In ab- breviated costumes, Sevoral Bonga were ren- dered with and without dancing, among them "The Bagtime Goblin Man" went very woll. Benn and Jieou a man and a woman, probably got all that could havo been bad out of their sketch. Get some new material and you will do better. he Boy and De Boy, a young man who filayed the piano and violin, and n young ndy who sang several aongs, were Interesting. Catea and Blake, two men, one straight and the other In Jewish character, offered sev- eral songs that were well received. "A Night On tho Boof Garden." (Bee New Acts.) » . Odeon (Fred Decker, mgr.) — Business continues good here. The writer reviewed the show here Sunday afternoon, and found the management, as wen «s an overflowing houso, In good spirits. Opening the bill was an Impersonator and character change; good. _ Barry and Mildred, in a skotch, "Tho Plum- Voblahand Childress, singing, talking nnd comedy. Good appearance. . • _. , : Oeo. Back, singing "Tiko a Little Tip from Father" (Illustrated), had all the houso with Closing the bill was a comedy -sketch, "A Matrimonial Blliznrd," by Harry Botler and company. Seven curtain calls at tho flnlsh. Colonial (Percy Q. Williams, •atrr.)— The standard of bills offered by the swsaxo- raont of this circuit of high class vaodhsvfllo theatres It maintained In fine form this Week hers by the excellent bill selected for the »n- tertahsMnt of Its patrons. At the Monday matinee there wan not a vacant seat la the house, and tbe roped-off spaco tor standees, back of the orchestra seats, also held Its tali quota of guests. Manager Williams this week, with his ac- customed liberality, offers two headline fea- tures. While there are other acts In the bill's formation which rank as topxtotchsrs In their line of stag* endeavor. Precedence is arlven to Amelia Bingham and company, presenting an act originated by the triented actress. It Is entitled "Big Moments from Great Plays," and la Its con- ception, and as It is produced by Miss Bing- ham. It lends a distinct dignity and charm to tbe vaudeville stage. Its themo permits alio the making of changes In tho repertoire of scones selected for presentation, as the ma- terial avillablo for an Important scene from tho Innumerable great plays, Bccms almost inexhaustible. With an appropriate stage setting, and costumed as correctly as if trio entire play was to be given, Miss Bingham on Wednesday gave scenes from "London As- surance," "School for Husbands" and "Mme. Sana-Gene." AU or these were applauded un- stintedly, and Miss Bingham'and her com- pany responded to six curtain recalls it the close of '"Mme, Sane-Ocno." That sterling actor, Frank Keenan, sup- ported by a carefully selected llttlo company, held the clfinc attention of the big sudlcnce during the presentation of tbe dramatic Jlaylet, "Man to Man." In the character of Itn Drab, Mr, Eccnan appears to better ad- vantage than In any of the roles In which vaudeville patrons havo enjoyed the charm of hit finished acting, and it is also certain that his present vehicle gives htm better oppor- tunity for the dlsplsy of dramatic power than anything he haa done previously t n vaudeville. A tribute of appreciation for his splendid acting came at the close of his little playlet, When Mr. Keenan waa obliged to make a speech of thanks to the audience. , On* of the mori delightful numbers of this week's bill In contributed by Isabel D'Ar- tnond and Frank Carter. In their charming melange of excellent comedy and catchy longs oy each, and the semi grotesque dan- ring, put over by the nimble feet of Mr. Carter. As a comedienne Miss D'Armond Is all thee, and their skit, "Bright Bits." are bits of brightness. Indeed. Their act was easily the lou^hlng hit of the bill, and the finish brought them four turtaln recalls. Frank Morrell found himself among, a houseful of friends, whoso applause kept him rn beyond his scheduled time. His stories were enjoyed tn the limit, but It was his splendid vo^allsm that set the applause goln:r, tnd brought encoro after eneoro after each song. Jarrow, whose slelght-of-hand act Is at! comedy, and every Una of It and the manner of Its presentation entirely original with him- self, scored his usual merry hit, and he left the stngo with the laughter still on tap. Delro, to whom must be given the credit of causing the accordion to bo recognised as a fine musical instrument for stage purposes. gave the best exhibition of his wonderful power In manipulating Its big keyboard that ho has ever favored a local audience with, The Wills Bros, fairly made the audience hold Its breath, separately and collectively, with their startling acrobatic and eqnlltbrlt- tlc work. Thr-lr feats have never been ex- celled, In this country, at least. Head bal- ancing on poles and ladders formed a part of their extremely hazardous work, which, de- spite the grace and seeming case of Its ac- complishment, causes wonderment from first to Inst. The Saundors Troupe, tbreo males and two females, opened the show In Russian dances and songs. Tltclr acrobatic dances and the whirling exercise of one one of the malts were applauded. They open their act with a song, and their resplendent costumes give ii sic-lit vnlne to a lino act. ■ The audieneo began to move towards the doors when tho Lorch Family cams on to close the bill, as the act opens quietly, with but three members of the family on the stage. The entrance of tbe females and others of tbe troupe, and the lifting of the drop, show- ing the arena scene, with a group of the entire family of ten people and the three ponies and a donkey, caused tbe spectators to resume their scats and applaud one of the best acts vaudeville can boast of. Their work la expert, showy, and the Bisley portion of It Is finished and classy. week of work.

We havo grown so used to startling novelties bcrc that ths ordinary run of acts makes no Impression. The Ward Brothers, as two Rngllsh dudes, were amusing. Dressed In the height of fashion, with eycalssses and canes, their ex- aggerated - Eiigllsh accent, combined with their whispered talk, was ono of tbe inush- Ing hits of the bill. Their Jokes wore origi- nal and their closing dance got them a good hand. Tho taller man should cut out Is talk during this dance. It Is not funny. O'Brien-Havel and company offered their sketch, "Monday." Tbe company consists of Thomas O'Brien-Havel, as a head usher; Ar- thur Havel, as a rail boy, nnd Miss Valeska, as Ilerrle Carmlcbal, the headllncr In a vaude- ville house. Tho scenery pictures the green room of a vaudeville theatre before tbe open- ing Monday forenoon. There Is very llttlo story to tho act, and tbe talking Indulged In Is not of the cleverest. Miss Valeska, who ts most attractive, plcnaed with her dancing, nnd O'Brien-Havel's Joy ride on bis ear made a personal hit. Wllla Holt Wakefield, making her first ap- pearance In this houso for some time, repeat- ed her success at the Fifth Avenuo last week. Miss Wakefield has originality and charm which, added to her perfect enunciation, makes It a pleasure to near her. Bhe was the recipient of a handsome basket of flowers, which she acknowledged in a short speech In which she thanked tho audience for receiving bar so nicely.
