Ferguson, mgr.) — The holiday pleasure seekers literally fought tor admission at the matinee here Labor Bay, Sept. 2, and at night the crush was so great that the selling of admission had to be discontinued until a portion of the waiting throng could gain entrance. As the remembrance came to those In the audience that they were possessed of homes, and had passed out, through tho waiting lines, there was a scramble for the few Inches of Insldo standing room thus made available. There were sir acts of more or less enter- taining merit listed In the new Monday bill, the first to appear being Daniels and Jack- son. In a club Juggling act wherein the speed attained In the passing of the clubs seemed to be the prime effort. However, tlic boys made but few misses and showed a nice little act. Their act seemed quite abort, but, as this was the night show, perhaps they had previously put In—or on—a full day's work. The Dancing Kennedys, a young couple who were recently seen on the big time as Texas Tommy Dancers, put over an applause •winner by their neat work. They started with a graceful waltz, and then went to the 'Tommy" stepping; which brought down the louse. ' These dancers should have no diffi- culty In securing time on any circuit. Herman Setts followed In a musical mono- logue, wherein his German comedy talk was fuuny and well delivered, but his playing spon it saxophone and trombone was not of a very high order. lie gave one song fairly well, and Bomo of his talk was new. Uessle l.c Count, whose name was on the electric sign in front of the theatre, and which entitles her to stellar honors. Is as dainty In personality as sbo Is talented In all that she attempts. Opening with a song, cutltled "On Broadway," sbo followed with several Imitations that were decidedly clever, added another song, "That's Why I Like to Be a Hoy," and closed with a recitation In ■long dialect that was true to life. Miss Lo Count pulled down one big hit. John Holland and company held up the ■Iretch position of tho bill In excellent style, Judging by the continuous laughter which permeated the sketch. There were four people, employed la the presentation of the sketch, which hinged on tho tribulations of two men ifter a gay night at a French ball. Hyde and Williams appeared In a vocal and Instrumental musical number, with Miss Hyde giving her conception of a Russian dunce as the closing number of their enter- taining act. They not only sang well, but Mr. Williams did good work on the violin and piano. "Dramatic Bag" was their best song lumber. An Illustrated sons; number was by no means (be least Important feature of the ex- cellent bill, and the entire series of motion pictures was of an excellent order.

King- ston, mgr.)— The Olrl from Brighton a mu- sical comedy In two acts, book by Jean C. Havre, music by William Becker. Produced by William Foi on Saturday evening, Aug. 31, with this cast: Rudolph Bock Al. Raymond Otto llelnz Frank Caverly George M. Cohen , Harry Firm Dr. Burg Robert Dally Barsfleld O'Brien Mark Hart Montgomery Worries Clay Smith Jlmmle Dooaon Ned Norton Oliver Kltanoodle Henry Lewis Bmoke Harry Lander Chauffeur Itoy Torrey Duchess "Ivy Blgroll" Maudlc Rockwell Honors O'Brien Sophie Petraycr Margie Dewdrop Kitty Flynn (Jcriii; Dewdrop Anna Orr Mls» Bnowball Kitty Vlynn With a brand new Interior, new chairs, and newly carpeted throughout, this famous old playhouse re-opened on the above date with a musical piece prepared especially for Its great stage. It Is called "The Girl from Brighton," and like hundreds of similar entertainments, It Is devoid of plot. This, however, did not prevent Jean C. Haves from writing a rattling good show. Occasionally an old gag or "business" would imtke an appearance, but In the main the lines and lyrics are brain children of Mr. Haves's. He followed Mr, Fox's request, "make 'em laugh," to the letter. The music was entrusted to William Becker, who did his work well, turning out several tunes thai will surely become popular. George Botsford and Les Copeland also furnished the music of several songs which pleased the audience. "Tho Girl from Brighton" is William Fox's first big attempt at producing, and he cer- tainly spared no money In the matter of scenery and costumes. The costumcrs were given carle blanche, and told not to consider the expense. As the show stands now It Is entirely too long, but this, of course, will be remedied be- fore the offering 1b a week old. Its second act Is the weakest. Al. Raymond and Frank Caverly are the principal fun makers. They made their first entrance in a "street car, and began tho evening's festivities by "pulling" their well known vaudeville act. Wacn they get through with that tbey deliver Mr. Haves's lines. These excellent Dutch comedians kept tho house In roars of laughter every minute that they were on the stage. Their scenes In the law oillcc (which Is drawn on the stage), and in the tnxlculi, would make the Sphinx laugh. They havo a comic song, entitled "(jct-Itlch- Qulck Walllngford," of which the audlmro did not seem to get enoagb, although the co- medians sang several additional verses. A tremendous hit was scored by Henry Lewis, who does not come on nntll the close of tli- piece. Ho has the stage to himself, and ho Is worthy of this distinction. He Is Just a darned tool, sings parodies, dances nimbly. Bnt ho Is a hit with a capital II. To many ho was the biggest hit in the show. Clay Smith, whoso work Is on the Ray- mond Hitchcock lines, slogs and dances well. He has one of tho prominent roles, which he nils to tho entire satisfaction of the audience. Amm Orr ia dainty and graceful, and acted and sang pleasingly. The songs allotted to her were well rendered. In all of her songs sbo was Bccomoanled by tho chorus. Robert Dailey, whose peculiar method of fun making is well known to patrons of tho Broadway theatres, got many laughs, al- though the material furnished him was scant. Kitty Flynn, as the slangy soubrctte, may be credited with scoring heavily. She Is a clever dancer—a much better dancer thna she la a singer. In the second act Bbc ap- pears In black faco and docs a clever spe- cialty with Harry Lander, who plays the rolo of Smoke, a waiter, throughout tha ac- tion of the piece. It Is a pity that Maude Rockwell (who Joined tho show a week ago) has not more to do, as she Is a capable actress. Harry First, as a Ylddlsher, and Mark Hart, as an "Irlsher," played their roles In the old familiar way. Ned Norton, Sophia I'ccrnyrr and Roy Torrey filled their roles acceptably. Bums and Fulton, In whirlwind dancing, scored heavily. Miss Fulton Is one of the best dancers the writer has ever seen. The Ska tells, In fancy and difficult dan- cing on skates, were given a large share of the evening's applause. The production Is a big one. for more than one hundred pretty chorus girls are employed In the presentation of "The (llrl from Brighton/' The male chorus numbers about 'orfir. The dances and grouping were artistically arranged by Jack Mason. IhUlv matinees will be given and smoking will be permitted at all performances. The prices for the matinees will be twenty-fire and fifty, while the seats for the evening performances will be sold at twenty-live, thirty-five, fifty and scventy-Ave. Tho Academy, which was packed to Its doors on the opening night. Is magnificently decorated In gold and gray. It Is now one of the handsomest theatres In town. The entrance Is on Fourteenth Street.

'£, with this cast: Thomns Felling John Drew Clarence Woodhouse Hubert Drucu l'ltts Walter Sodcrllng fcopulc Telling Nina Seventng Dulcle Elstcad Margaret Watson Agntha Margel Alice John Kalleia Mary Boland The story tells that Thomas Polling, a tea merchant, bar returned from a business trip to find bis attractive wife (Sophie) con- verted to tho cause of woman suffrage through tbe Influence of Clarence Woodhouse, a theoretical philosopher, who does not en- tirely believe In his own theories, and Dulcle Klstead. a Suffragette of tbe firebrand order, whose husband, finding her Impossible, has long since left her. Sophie has been to see Ibsen's "A Doll's House," and she imagines herself another Nora. Pelllng Is aghast at the condition confronting him, but his sister, Agatha Margel, a sensible and practical mar- ried woman, grasps the situation, and on her advice, Instead of combating the erase, he pretends to fall In with It and Introduces Into the house Kalleia, s very charming young woman, who he says needs converting also. Kalleia De Vinci, as she Is pleased to call herself, because of her "Greek soul," Is really Elizabeth Green, a very ordinary type- writing girl, whose wool gathering leads her to put Greek poetry Into "business letters and brings about tier discharge from the office of rolling tc Co. The presence of Kalleia la tbe house finally arouses Sophie's Jealousy. The Greek soul finds an affinity In the white souled professor (Woodhouse), who Is known as tbe "mssler," and with the departure of tills pair of soulmates for Athens Sophlo realises her folly and (lies to her husband's open arms. A pretty story, cleverly told. And In this play Mr. Drew has a vehicle the equal of which lie has not had for many a season. It bristles with bright dialogue and goad situations, and the characters are, every one of them, flesh and blood humans. There Is at no time a straining for effect, for each successive Incident follows In harmonious continuity, and it Is rarely that a more de- lightful entertainment finds Its way to our stage. The satire on tho woman's suffrage question Is so cleverly handled that no one, even a confirmed advocate of the "cause," could take offense at it, for, while it Is satire, the characters treat the matter seriously and In no way hold It up to ridicule. The author, however, has come danger- ously near damning his work with a "kiss." A kiss has been the cause of breaking up many a home, but It Is not often that It proves a dangerous thing In a play. It Is not so much the kiss In this Instance as the manner- of Its bestowal. Telling admittedly loves his wife, and It Is only to win her back by causing her Jealousy that be brings Kalleia to his house. They understand each other, and Kalleia is willing to act the part In so good a cause. There is nothing In tbo action of cither to give rise to tho belief that they consider it In any light but that of a business proposition. It Is therefore a shock when, In response to an Ingenuous remark made by Kalleia, to have Polling grasp her In his arms and kiss her passionately. And, lest the action ho mistaken by the audience, the nuthor makes Klllela naively remark, "Oh, Mr. Pelllng, that wasn't make believe 1" It Is an unlooked for and uncalled for Incident and Is tbe one blot to mar Mt. Sucre's plav. Any Incident that endangers the caste of the hero or heroine of a play Is a risky experiment, and when such an ind- * dent Is unnecessary to the story an author who resorts to it foolishly courts failure. It Is only the strength of the rest of tho Play and the capital work of the stnr and his support that saves the author from tho fruits of his folly. As Thomas Pelllng, Mr. Drew Is seen at his best. The ro'e Is one that gives him full scope, and he tnkes full advantage of every opportunity, with the result that It la the beat work this popular actor has dono In several seasons. Mary Doland, as Kalleia, gavo another of her excellent performances. The role differs from any we havo heretofore seen her por- tray, and this very difference makes us draw comparison with her former work. Her Kalleia Is charmingly Ingenuous with no Jot of affectation to mar Its beauty. As drawn by the nuthor she fits every qualification of the role, and the audience was quick to recognise the merit of her work. Hubert Drucc was capital. He played flic role af the man who iloes not believe in Ills own theories with One discretion, and In his hnnds Clarence Woodhouse was a likable* fellow, who was floundering around the world until fate should guide him to bis proper niche. Alice John gave a clean cut performance aa Agatha Margel. Her opportunities were not many, but she had one or two pointedly ?ood speeches, and those she delivered with oiling effect. Margaret Watson and Nina Sevenlng did good work. Mr. Sntro, In a curtain speech, said he w:m fortunate In having so capable a star nnri supporting company to pluy bis piece, and It might be well to add that both Mr. Froh- man and Mr, Drew are fortunate in securing so capital a comedy. IV'hlt. i > Henderson's (Frank M. Faber, mgr.) — The Labor Day crowd was certainly In at- tendance here, as afternoon and evening per- formances were played to recorded breaklij; audiences. Hundreds were turned away at each performance, and Manager Faber an- nounced that the record of the bouse was broken at each show. The program Includ- ed: Karl Grels. In his novelty cartoon act; Chas. Daly and Kittle O'Brien, presenting a brand new act entitled "The Jungle Shop." which will he fully reviewed In New Arts In next week's Issue; Bert Howard and KIDo Lawrence, also In a new art. entitled "Tha Clgsr Girl'" (See New Acts next week) ; Joe Whitehead. In an Interesting monologue: "On An Island of Lore," a one act musical comedy, presented by ten capable actors: Brown and Newman. In a bunch of non- sense: Sam Chip and Mary Marble, In tbelr successful little playlet, "The Land of Dykes:" Albert F. Hawthorne and Frank A. Burt. In their latest offering, "A Raw Recruit," and the Darling Darts, an aerial act, that attracted coaslderable attention. Jack. » HaBanserateln'g (William Uammcratcla> mgr.)—Announcement is made by the man- agement here tbat tbe roof performance of Sunday, Sept. 8, wouldtbrlng the roof season to a close. Consequently the matinee of Monday, Sept. 11, Inaugurates tbe beglnnlog of the Tegular Winter season. During that week tbe Suffragette cause Is to be exploited from tbe theatre stage by several women prominent In the cause of se- curing adherents who believe in "votes for women." Regarding the closing of the roof season, It Is only necessary to say la passing tbat artistically and financially It will compare very favorably with any of the dosea or so gone before. The gifted, popular singing comedienne, Emma Carus, holds the topllne position on this week's bill, appearing Monday, 2, In a repertoire of new songs, which Included a sentimental ballad, which she rendered fine- ly; an Irish lilting song, a "rag" for her closing number, and which she should not have attempted, as her third number, wblch waa followed by a ludicrous attempt at dan- cing, had materially winded the vocalist, who has now reached the heavyweight ranks. Her best number was "You Cant Tell a Woman by Her Clothes." Among tbe holdover acts are Creatoro and His band, who will close an all Summer en- gagement here this week, which has been one of the most enjoyable numbers presented during the mnny changes of programs from we«'k to week. Henry Cllve Is presenting his pretty and mystifying Illusion, "Spirit Paintings," for the third and last week. Capt. Klelnsclimtdt's motion pictures, en- titled "Roping Rig Came In Alaska nnd Si- beria,'' are Iii their Hccond nnd Inst week. Ous Kdwards' "Kid Kubaret," n new mu- sical sketch, holds an Important program po- sition. See New Acts this Issue. Chas. Ahenrn's big comedy cycling act Is here for a quick return engagement, meeting with a royal reception on Monday, nnd cap- turing easily the big applause honors of tile entire bill. Kdwards, Ryan nnd Tlerney, the hoys who are in the very front of the list of rathskeller sets, put over their song numbers In clussy style. Lee Perry and (icorgn White agnln demon- strated the fact that there Is not n better suglng duo In vaudeville to-day. Their songs sre always sure-tire hits, but It Is cusy to bo- llevo that their finished methods would bring success to u mediocre song number, Dolmar and Delmar, expert acrolmts, closed tin- show at a late hour. The major port of the audience bad departed while tne pictures were being shown during the preceding num- ber, and It Is a thankless position, the efforts to entertain an audience who are thinking of their dinners, nnd the electric lights are be- ginning to twinkle on Broadway. New acts produced here on Monday, 2, were: Tho Novelty Dancing Four. Hlrahilcld. In comedy drawings: Gus Kdwards' "Kid Knbnrct," a musical skit, headed by Kddle Cantor; Jack nnd Florls, expert acrobats, and Reblander's seven trained pigs. See New Acts in this Issue.

Lucy Daly Is the headllner here this week. 6he Is aided by six young women nnd u few stage hands In the presentation of a minia- ture musical comedy, called "Different Phases of Life," in which the predominating fea- ture Is noise. Miss Daly Is a clcved dancer, but Is slightly "shy" when It com»s to ring- ing. A corking good net, In which bright lines, clever dancing and action are found In large doses Is furnished by Pat Rooney and Marlon Lent, In "At the News-stand." Marshall Montgomery, In his great von- trllo(|ulnl specialty, was a warm favorite. The acts of C. H. O'Dnnnelt and company and the Bendlx Knsemhle Players are men- tioned in our "New Acts" colmuns. ISMward Barnes and Mabel Uoblnson sing songs und "kid" each other, when Is inter- esting for a few minutes, then It becomes tiresome, for the material has been used by others many times before. Mr. Barnes Is a good singer, but likes to create tbe Impres- sion that ho cannot, and Just whoa the audience Is about to "kill" Mm he lets out e fine baritone voice. This Is a funny gug, but It is going to send Barnes to a throat specialist sooner or Inter. Miss Robluson Just gets by with her singing. Bo6 and Tip company, with their two clever dogs, ''Bob and Leo," opened the ehow. They put the big holiday nlgbt in good humor with their antics and the work of the dogs. Blxley and Lerner*s burlesque on grand opera was a laughing bit, especially when they come out as f 'Mclba and Caruso/' Itofi men have splendid voices and they Inject much ginger In tbelr acL La Toy Brotliers, In ther pantomimic spe- cialty, closed the show, nna tbey had no trouble In holding the audience. ' Coupon. s KHITH'H BRONX. (IIABHT A. JHILBT, MOB.) This bouse opened for the season on Labor Day with a matinee, and offered a bill of which comedy was the mala feature. The show was opened by Marcus and Gartelle. comedy "skatorlallsts," and their "efforts" to skate were received with loud laughter, for they do a fuuny act. Another act that managed to draw laughs without difficulty waa McDcvltt. Kelly and Lucy (two men, one woman). The men are clever eccentric dancers, and their burlesque on mlllt-irv life wa«'a scream. The woman Is pretty, but tends little else to the act. Kelli and ('sire's new art Is reviewed In our New Acts column. The Four Hanlon Hros., la their acrobatic pantomime, scored a laughing success. There Is not an net In vaudeville Just like tbls, ar.l It Is nlwsys worth seeing. Agnes Scott and Henry Keene offered tlicl,- dainty and charming sketch, "Drifting." lle- yond question it Is one of the prettiest acts In vaudeville. As Is usual with Bert Fltrglbbon, he wits a riot with his "nut" stuff, Carrie De Mar presented a new act, which Is reported in our New Acts column. Tin- Four Soils Bros., won much favor with their playing on the nrarlmbnphone. The Three YoBcarys, the clever acrobnts, closed the show. They pleased as of yore. A permanent feature hero will be trio nows of tho entire world, Illustrated by moving pictures. Coupon. i i FROCTOR'8 FIFTH AVRNVB (QC8 KCCU.ND, MOB.) The bill tor week beglunlng Sept. 2 con- tained two new acts. Turnawsy business was done Monday afternoon and evening, hundreds belug tumble to ifaln admittance. Almost tho snmo condition prevailed at the Tuesday matinee. Tho orchestra, under the able direction of Wardo Johnstone, made Its re-nppenraiicn hero at tho Monday matinee, and was an en- joyable feature to both performers nnd tlio audience. Tbe patrons nlso> found remain ushers In attendance. 'Maude Hall Macy nnd her company of fif- teen people were seen In her latest success, "In tho Gray of tho Dawn," aud scored heavily. The playlet tells one of the most Interesting stories of tbo underworld, and holds attention throughout. Hoey aad Lee, with a budget of new paro- dies and stories, amused the audience for twenty minutes, and had a hnrd time getting oway. Will Halllday and Robert Carlln, In that everlasting amusing travesty, culled "The liattle of Bay Hum, were a huge success. Louise Galloway, Joseph Kaufman and company wero seuu for the first time In a iiiw one act comedy, entitled "Little Mother." (See New Acts.)
