KltOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. Clipper Unrena, 14 Leicester Street, LelceMer Sqn.re, London, W. C. 0*^^^*^^^^S* s ... , _ Sept. 21. After n long silence which served to whet anticipation, Henry V. Esmond produced a play entitled "A Young Man's Fancy," at the Criterion Theatre, on Tuesday, which Is quite disappointing. Save that ft restores that fine comic actress, Lottie Venne, to the dra- matic stage, after an unsatisfactory experi- ment in vaudeville, it has no interesting fea- ture. Miss Venne figures as the Lady Julia Ventermcre, with a mischievous disposition to run the affairs of the family, especially of her brother. Lord Porto, an elderly, easy going man of the world, and his son, the Honorable Gerald, somewhat of a scally- wag. Lady Jnlla, having made op her mind that a good marriage was tbe one thing to straighten out Gerald, selected an American heiress (of course), Cora Grant, but at this Juncture was mortified to leam that Gerald had got into a terrible tangle with a girl in a flower store—that he was, in fact, on the verge of marriage with her. Lady Julia Instantly decided that the marriage must be stopped, and the flower girl bought off. As a matter of fact, Gerald had already arrived at a satisfactory understand- ing with Cora Grant, and engaged himself to marry her. His affair with the flower girl was casual and unimportant—It was another young aristocrat whom she had enmeshed. But Papa Forth, In his cynical way, and Gerald. In sheer mtschievousness, allowed Aunt Julia to go ahead with her fussy diplo- macy—'and out of this thin stuff the play Is made. Neither tbe wit of the dialogue nor the strength of the characterization helped oat the weariness of the plot There Is a pretty fierce competition beweea the greater west End music halls Just now. The Coliseum puts up Sarah Bernhardt In plays selected from her repertoire to last over eight weeks; up street, at the London Hippodrome, they have committed them- selves with nothing less than the production of a new opera by Leoncavallo, the composer himself conducting. London has made up its mind that Sareh was sixty-nine next birthday, and meant 10 celebrate.lt. Sarah humorously retorted that when a woman Is so nearly seventy every hoar counts. Therefore she wants It to be un- derstood that she Is but sixty-eight I Judging from the skill and seductiveness of hfr per- formance at the London Coliseum as Lu- cretla Borgia, she mlgbt be no more than half the age she admits. It is most wonder- ful. Leoncavallo's name is packing the London Hippodrome, but it Is Just his name. Toe music of "The Gypsies" is neither better nor worse than he has been turning out for years; Just average Journeyman shift, not to be talked of with "Pagl'nccl." The book Is blood and thunder. A. Hungarian prince addresses himself to a tribe of gyosles, and Is received with coldness when be desires 'o becom:: one of them. He persuades them nt last, and receives In marriage the beauty of tbe tribe. Soon, however, the girl wearies of the quality of civilization which her aristo- cratic husband is not able to eliminate from his life and character, and takes a lover of her own class. The prince, surprising the guilty pair In a hot, locks the door and sets It on fire, standing In front and keeping the gypsies at bay till his awful vengeance la completed. ■ Says George Fawcett: "The demand for big acting Is gone. Picture theatres and that kind of thing have cultivated a mental con* dltlon different from what It was before. I believe Imagination Is being killed. In Amer- ica there is a good deal being accepted as art that makes me ashamed. There everybody goes to the theatre for the sake of going. Here it Is different. You do not go to tbe theatre Indiscriminately, and, therefore, yon make It a very great privilege to please this public." Forbes Robertson sets out on a farewell tour of the English provinces on Monday. He Is distributing a very beautiful souvenir made up mainly of portraits of himself. Charles Hawtrey will again run the ex- travaganza entitled "Where the Rainbow Ends," at the Savoy Theatre, during the Christmns season. Gerald Du Maurler. referring humorously to the run there has been on character plays lately, says "Yon have bad . . . Lan- cashire hot pot, Irish stew, Welsh mutton and Scotch broth. Well. I'm going to give you (In 'Doormats,' at Wyndham's Theatre) a cut from a London Joint." The play is by Hubert Henry Davles, and it will restore the recently married Marie Lohr to the stage. George Edwardes has Introduced what he calls an "ante-nuptial" clanse to his con- tracts. His manager, J. A. E. Malone, says: "This Is a very Berlous question. Take the case of 'The Quaker Girl.' No fewer than eighteen members of the' company left to get married during the run of the piece. Now the epidemic has broken out again while we are rehearsing our new production at the Adelpbi. It is not so easy as it seems to fill their place at a moment's notice. A new one act play was Introduced to the program at the Comedy Theatre on Thurs- day night, partly with the hope, no doubt, that the critics, when they had heard Harry M. Vernon's exposition of the theme "all men are fools," would stay for a second view of "A Scrape o* the Pen." and perhaps re- vise a Judgment which was not too kind nt the outset. Certain It la that Grannie Mof- fatt's play baa been much Improved since the first performance. Yon can never get away from the "Enoch Arden - ' Idea, but a judicious compression has mnde the play mere effective, There was not, really, much to Improve In the acting, which does not waste a morsel of Mr. Moffntt's pathos an J humor, or diminish the value of a line of his fine character sketching. Mr. Vernon's playlet Is a fairly ingenious treatment of en obvious situation. His dialogue is labor. The quarters of an Indian officer, reproduced with a careful regard for detail, supplies the background. Two self-satisfied veterans dis- cuss the folly of a friend, who has been amusingly deceived by a woman. They pro- ceed to tbe confidence, exactly exchanged, that they have each come to the conclusion to make n really wise choice of a wife. Each has the pledge of a worthy, well endowed woman to marry him in a certain event. Enter at this Juncture an exuberant youth with the news that he has succeeded to a title and a fortune, and persuaded the finest woman on the station to marry him right off. Obviously, the scheming charmer of all three men Is the same. The play would probably go better If it were played in a peer style. It seemed to bo somewhat oppressed by the distinction of Its surroundings. Invited to Issue a "glossary" explanatory of "Rebecca of Sunnybsook Farm," Mm. DouglnBs Kate Wlggln says: "I thought 60 simple and so unpretentious a dramatic of- fering would surely explain itself as It went along. I know that the London critic com- monly does not care for representations of life In a far away New England village; that he likes neither tbe dialect—wlilch I have given to only two oat of my thirteen char- acters—nor the types portrayed In the play. He seein* to feel a temperamental aversion to this modest presentment of Yankee customs, manners and speech In an ont of the way New England vilfage, while accepting 'Runty' and Hlnrile Wakes' aa Intereslng studies In a similar field of labor." Mrs. wlggln pro- reeds to prove the fidelity to life and ex- perience of various characters and Incidents. On Monday nights the Mile End Empire, where drama in Yiddish made so great a hit Inst year, will re-open with opera—grind and comic—In Yiddish, with Simeon Tomars. for- merly of the Hammerstetn staff, as producer. The Mile End Empire, which Is an the East Side, was formerly the Paragon Music Hall, and claimed to be the largest In the world. Building was not on a scale so heroic In those days. William Greet is sending "The Five Frank- forters." suggested by tbe career of the Rothschilds, on the road. It did not succeed In proportion to Its merit at the Lyric The- atre. A play, entitled "The Open Door," will shortly replace "The Women of France," at the Lyceum. It is by the same authors, Arthur Shirley and Ben Landeck, and It haa a Russian background, with revolutionary in- cidents and a Jewish quality. On 'Saturday night two hundred perform- ances were placed to the record of "The Sun- shine Girl," at the Gaiety. Beerbohm Tree, having seen "Drake" suc- cessfully launched, Is now on a tour of the provincial music halls with that lugubrious playlet, "The Man Who Was." Richard Temple, the original Dick Dead- eye, In "Pinafore," Is very 111 and in dis- tressed circumstances. Seymour Hicks, whose address is 33 Henrietta Street, Covcnt Gar- den, is getting up a fund. They are getting on apace with the altera- tion of the Albambra, which should open a month hence. The "popular" seats have been removed from the floor, which now be- comes a vast, luxurious lounge, like the Em- pire. A new m'tie, written by George Grossmlth, and composed by Melville J. Gideon, will be the feature of the re-openlng program. Charles Urban, having been conspicuously successful with bis picture show at the Scala Theatre* is about to install a similar enter- tainment at the Queen's Theatre. George Fawcett's flue performance, and the enthusiasm of his personal welcome, are the points to be reported to you In respect of the production of "The Great John Can- ton," at the Aldwycb Theatre, on Saturday. The play looks as though it might run a while. There was a "very- superior" tone in the notices nf "Everywoman," at Drury Lane. The critics find It melodramatic and senti- mental. But tbe theatre Is packed to the doors nightly. During the Fall Seymour Hicks will try a tour of the dramatic nouses in the provinces, with a bill made up of several one act plays. At Christmas he comes to tbe London Coli- seum with a new Bketch, for eight weeks. Granville Bnrkcr and LUlali McCarthy re- vive "The Winter's Tale" at the Savoy to- night. Gertrude Kingston announces the reopen- ing of the Little Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 15, with "Captain Brassbound's Conversion." She has, In the meanwhile, given the house more the style of a regular theatre Sarah Brooke takes "The Easiest Way" on the road Immediately. Her company lack? Guy Standing and Laura Nelson, Hail. Arthur Bonrchler has canceled the tour he contemplated, so as to continue the run of 'Find the Woman" at the Uarrtck The- atre. "Drake" Is doing phenomenal business at Ills Majesty's. When Lyn Harding must needs sail for New York he will lie replaced by Frederick Ross, lately of DrttcY Lane. Daisy James, a clever vaudeville actress, Is to be tbe principal boy 'n the pantomime at the Lyceum this Christmas. Walter de Frece la to re-open the Palace vaudeville Theatre, Plymouth. "Indefinitely prolonged" Is the gratifying endorsement of the Bellclalr Brothers' en- gagement at the London Hippodrome. Barton and Ashley are again In town. They begin the Moss tour Immediately. Caryl Wilbur, having a week out on the Moss tour, has been most successfully em- ployed at the Victoria Palace this week, with "01 Prospect Street." Elfle Fay made a most effective first ap- pearance at the Tottenham Palace on Mon- day. Some good booking Is likely to ensue.
