He has proofs of their duplicity and refuses to permit tho lease without clauses giving to Charvllle a one-third interest on all Income from deposits found on the estate.

In three acts and five scenes, by Kleanor Gates, was produced for the flrst lime In New York, Tuesday evening, Jan. 21, with this cast: Dancing Master Alan Hale German Teacher Gene Pollard l-'rcnch Teacher Natalie Perry Music Teacher Helen Davidgs Butler Frank Andrews Governess.

Grady King's English A. Alphonsa This falry-llkc play was produced by Ar- thur Hopktus. It won a pronounced success at its metropolitan premiere, and that the gathering of first-nighters liked It, and loved Tittle Viola Dana, was demonstrated by riot- ous applause at such opportunities as allowed tbetn to give vent to their feelings We have no doubt whatever that Authoress Eleanor Gates reads children from ttclr very heart, for no truer or more delightful a play have Now Yorkers enjoyed than that Tuesday night audience did "The Poor Little Rich Girl" and Gwendolyn. Miss Gates teaches a lesson of modern morality, and no expense was spared In staging and costuming it. Gwendolyn's life was all of unhappy, being brought up by Royal, her governess, and Jane, her nurse. She wished to continue that happy one dav when she sneaked off a-flshlng with Johnnie Blake, on Imaginary character In the play. She hated Jane and Royal and her music and German, French and dancing teachers horribly, and the poor little rich girl seldom saw much of her father and mother. Father was drudging life's sap away In order to keep mother on a level with the chattering fashionable set, and she must mingle among them, and Gwendolyn longed to be loved, and to go to school, and go fishing, and play In the mud—like other children. ... An overdose of sleeping medicine which Jane gave Gwendolyn, made the poor little rich girl unconscious. And the second act Is the illustrated dream little Gwendolyn has. She sees her mother carrying n bonnet, in which the "society bee" buzzes: her father, attired in a suit made of money, Is harnessed to a machine which ho feeds with money, and produces the child s teachers as ducks and drakes. Jane ap- pears wearing two faces, which indicates her duplicity. Royal, the governess, Is a hissing snake, and Thomas, the footman, wears big ears. The street organ-grinder, ■whom Gwendolyn loves, keeps a shop where can be bought "stiff upper lips, sharp eyes," etc. This Is "Tell Tale Forest." Then the delirious little girl wanders to the Land of Lights," where father tolls for mother, and here "the little bird" which tells tales, Is found, accompanied by King s English. A third scene takes us to Robin Hpod a Bam, where the child's doctor keeps all ale "hobbles," which arc Illustrated is hobby- horses. Here Father and Gwendolyn 4t SCENERY MAR WITH THE THREE WIVES" Weber & Fields' Mnslc Hall (Charles S. Breed, mgr.)— The itan toith the Three Wines, an operetta in three acts by Franx Lehar. Produced by the Messrs. Shubcrt on Thursday evening, Jon. 23, with this cast: First Clerk Jack McCoy Second Clerk Robert Uaaler Third Clerk Walter Smith Frans Robert G. Pitkin Rosa Dorothy Webb Huron Pick ford Leslie Kenyon CapL Adhemar Stewart Balrd Lieut.

The mnslc, by Lehar, la tune- fu\ especially the songs. "There's Always a Girl Wh6 Is Waiting," "Love's Flower Is Al- ways Blooming" and "Rose of Yesterday. Then there Is a rollicking finale to act one, to the swinging tune of "Paris, Oh Featlvo Land," that carried the flrst night audience by storm. . _ . , Yet truth corapols us to say that Lehar; music in this plcco falls below the standard he set in his "Merry Widow." Despite tho fnct that he has written twenty-four songs In all, thenHs not one thut you carry away with you. The house program old not reveal the names of those responsible for tho lyrics or the book, but It was whispered around tho theatre that tho authors were Paul M. Potter, Agnes Bangs Morgan and Howard Attcrldge. Just why the names were omitted is a mys- tery, tor they need not be ashamed of their work. .. . The story Is taken from tho Gorman of Julius Bauer, and tells of tho marital ad- ventures of Hnns Zlfler, who Is courier to a crowd of tourists. Although he la a mar- ried man, he permits himself to become en- gaged to Colette, head of a ballet school In Paris, and to Olivia, who owns a prosperous hotel near London. Of course, the thrco ladles do not know of the existence of each other until tho pleco is well under way. How- ever, all Is forgiven before the curtain falls on the last act. Charlotte Greenwood's funny antics, long nnna and legs, and her winning smiles, won for her the lion's share of the comedy honors. She has a way of swinging her leg that would win laughter from the Sphinx. And when Hue contributed her eccentric dances, in which her long arrns wcro brought into piny, the audience almost rolled off their chairs. Cecil Lean played the role of Hans Zlfler with much energy and success. While ho is not a "regular" singer, you can distinguish tho words of tho songs he la rendering, which is a novelty In these days of stage entcrtuln- ment. The rolo gives him splendid opportuni- ties for iun making, and Mr. Lean tshes full advantage of them. feopbye Barnard had the role of Colette, which Is n rather nmsll one for a woman of her reputation. She sang exquisitely a lullaby ond "Rose of Yesterday," the two songs assigned hor.

Qlcason Seldom docs an actor recelvo aa hearty x welcome as that given to Chauncey Olcott on Monday evening by an audience that com- pletely filled this big playhouse. "Tho Isle o' Dreams" has to do with Ivor Kelway, a poor fisherman, who Is In love with Kathleen O'Doon, supposed to bo In a better station of life, but who also Is poor. The young man Is attached to his old foster mother, and loses no opportunity of showing it. To make a plot, the young woman's brother, a French spy, Is nearly captured by the English, only escaping with tlio aid of Kelwny, The young follow Is In turn cap- tured by tho EnglTsh, and finds that the colonel In charge of tho English Is his own brother. He Is released on account of a letter written by Kathleen's brother. But sho, not knowing this, accuses Ulm of botray- ing his trust. Everything Is straightened out In the last act, when Kathleen admits she loves him, the brothnr gives him half his fortune, and he promises to lovo ills old iiiothc and "The Isle o' Dreams" nlwuys. During the course of tho play Mr. Olcott sings tho following new songs In tho tenor voice that has made him famous: "The Iile o' Dreams," "Mother Mnchree," "Kuthlem Aroon" and "When Irish Dyes Aro Smiling." The first and last named were exceptionally tuneful and pretty. At tho close of tho third act he was presented with several handsome floral tributes, and af" his old favorite, lellght of all. Hrs. Jennie Lamont, as Mother Kelway, made a hit In the flrst net that carried her through nicely. Agnes Heron Miller, daughter of Henry Miller, la the role or Monn, a shepherd's daughter did nicely. Edith Browning played Kathleen O'Doon in a satisfactory manner. Alfred Moore, David Glassford and the others, helped to fill out a good company. There Is no doubt that Mr. Olcott and "Tho Isle o' Dreams*' will have a pleaiunt and successful engagement during Its four weeks' stay. Doo. i ii CITY THEATRE. (SAM FRIIDD, HOR.) Another program, up to the usual standard of this house, was presented, the latter part of last week, and was wall attended by a large audience at each performance.
