In the end Hale (who does not appear In the play) sends void that he will forgive the couple, pro- iiJfcg that Blunt goes to South America for Hit; rest ot hla day*. Judging from, the above synopsis, one would Oilnk that the story Is a dramatic one, but the author has chosen to treat It In a humor- ma vein, and has succeeded admirably, for the piece was received with many hearty laughs the opening night. Mr. Murphy was delightful aa Jim Blunt. He has the lion's share of the work, and rrery minute that he was on the stage he was amusing. Just why this splendid comedian ind delightful actor Is not seen more often on tin' local stage, la one of the many mysteries if the theatrical business. If "Honest Jim Blunt" served no other purpose than In bring- ing Tim Murphy back, It was not produced In tain in- the Llcbler Co. Louise Closser Hale, who couldn't be poor h any part, scored heavily as Miss Jensen, a itenographer, who preferred to pray, but found no time for It. an sho spent her days In lying for her employer, Blunt. Miss Hale, who Is a pretty woman, made tp as an old maid, with a very homely face. Prank Losee was excellont as a stern law- sers with a small role. An unusually good performance was con- tributed by Charles Lalte, aa the young nephew, who belloved absolutely In his uncle. Frederick Bond, who has long ago won jecognltlon from the critics as a comedian, made the small role of a swindler stand out prominently. There are two other women In the cast, but Ihclr roles are very small. Violet Hemlng was pretty and charming as Madge Hale, and Muriel Hone lent beauty to the role of a Ilsroness, but was rather shy on tho Ger- man dialect. Tho rest of the company were fair. The ^reduction was, of course, excellent.

De Tressac Harry Johnson Mlnette Bessie Gross Llsette Hleanor Scott Elrarette Dottle Wang Clalrette Beth Harrison Princess Kokozeff Gladys Homfrey The story tells of the attempt of Grand Duke RutzlnoT to marry Angele DIdler, a stage celebrity. Aa she la not of the royalty and he cannot wed without the czar's con- sent, he plans to win that consent by having her marry a noble and divorce blm In three months. The objection then being removed, he expects to win the favor of the czar. The marriage takes plate as per arrangement, the ceremony occurring with a screen be- tween the contracting parties so that they do not sec each other. Directly after tho ceremony the bride departs without cither one knowing the name of the other. Just prior to the expiration ot the three months Rene meets Angele and promptly falls In love with her. He comes to the Grand Duke's Paris home, where a ball Is In pro- gress, given In honor of Angele. He (Rene) meets her and sho returns his affection. The; finally discover that they are really man and wife, and their road to happiness Is made complete by the appearance of Prlnccaa Kokozeff, whom the czar has ordered the Grand Duke shall wed. Wo have, In the past year, heard much about "The Count of Luxembourg;" perhaps too much, as wo were probably led to expect more than we should, and therefore the merits of this really clever Viennese opera were not fully appreciated on the opening night. Messrs. Klaw & Krlanger have given It a gorgeous production, tho two scenes being strikingly handsome and expensive, nnd the same may bo said of the costumes, which are splendid specimens of tho designer's art. The staging of the work, by Herbert Gresham and Julian Mitchell, adds another LINCOLN SQUARE (CHABLCS fUBOUSON, MOB.) An audience which packed this commodl- cus theatre to Us capacity on Monday night, Sept. 16, enjoyed a series of motion pictures which, In the main, were Interesting, and Blx vaudeville acts which averaged wall. As the act entitled "Fun In a Cabaret" Is given the prominence of holding the elec- tric algn display In front of the theatre, It Is fair to aisume that the act is the feature of the new show. There are fifteen people employed In Its presentation, and an attempt has evidently been made to put over a bit act. There Is a small stage set up In rear o the regular stage, and npon this girls dance while the performances are going on on the stage below. The Idea of the act Is a good one and as far as the stage setting goes, credit must be given, but the Idea of relying upon slapstick comedy and a grotesque at- tempt to cause laughter by antiquated methods, such as the bursting of toy bal- loon* and the explosion of the prop chicken Savoy (Rosenberg Bros., mgrs.)—Motion pictures ki which leading stars appear Is tho attraction at thla house.

An Illustrated song number followed, with a robust tenor vocalist, and plcturea which were a riot of color. Caulfleld and Driver presented an Irish character sketch, which, though reminiscent In theme and story, was sufficiently well acted to deserve commendation. The brogue of the man and hla aupposed daughter in the little sketch was excellent, and tho big audi- ence enjoyed, thoroughly, an Irish character bit of too old school. Joe Ward aang four aongs, three ot which were given In dialect. The much used "Rob- ert IS. Lee" was his opening number, fol- lowed by "Ylddisher Ball" and "Italian Serenade." Mr. Ward baa a alnglng voice of much power, but It he will study the art of repression and acquire a better stage pres- ence be will get much better results with his act, Hla Inst song, with the doll, might be made much more effective than a* now given.

James F. Dolaa nnd Ida Lcnharr, In their laugh producing skit, entitled "Some Mind Reader," were one of the successes of tho program. As usual Dolan's witty sayings got the laughs, and Miss Lenbarr** clever read- ing met with much favor. Hugh Mack, a* the manager, wus well liked. That classy pair, Lola Merrill and frank Otto, scored one big hit. Their talk I* up-to- date and is delivered In a clever manner. Their rendering of several songs were big encore winners. Sherman, Van and Uyman are certainly there as singers and piano players. The boys get off some very clever songs, prin- cipally among them, "Lnlypop," "Bugyman" and "That's How 1 Need You, and took sev- eral encores with each. Olllo Young and April opening the show, went big. and Judging from the amount of applause, are deserving of- a better position.
