For a first effort It Is wonder- fully well constructed and excellently writ- ten. It was well staged by 1. C Huffman, who had the abtfl assistance of Loo Cooper. Sylrla Jones, a working girl, has a dying mother who needs an operation, medicine and country air. If she hopes to lire. This would cost one hundred dollars. Falling to borrow the money anywhere, she remembers that a Madame Lockwood bad at one time visited the store and told Sylvia that If she ever cared to earn extra money by working evenings that she should call upon her. Sylvia doe* so, believing that Madame Lock- wood Is a modiste. Bbe la In Madame" Lock- wood's bouse about a half hour when the nature of the resort Is revealed to ber. She tries to get out, bat the madame and a "cadet" compel ber to remain. As she is about to fight them cries are heard and an- other unfortunate Inmate comes upon the jcene. She la escaping from a beating. The cries are heard by an agent of the Depart- ment of Justice, who has entered the bouse posing as a gaa fitter. He had been in the house trying to locate a girl who bad been kidnapped, ■ (The girt had killed herself.) After a strenuous combat he rescues the two girls. In the last act he, of coarse, arrests all of the guilty ones, and la engaged to marry Sylvia. Tbe above la a brief outline of the play. Most of the action takes place In the second act. The scene la tbe parlor of Madame Lockwood's house of 111 fame This act is really the -play and, while the dramatic situations follow each other in almost light- ning rapidity, you tit spellbound. Talk about a show with a "punch.'* This one has sledge-hammer blows, and they hit tbe ball'* eye every time. George Frobert scored a tremendous suc- cess as the brutal, repulsive, sneering "cadet." It was a magnificent performance of about the most thankless role we have ever seen. We are praising this clever young actor when -we say that bis portrayal of this most despicable of characters was a work of art Mary Nash Is the girl, Sofia. The role call*, for tenderness, simplicity sympathy and emotion, and she acquitted herself bril- liantly. Sbe was an ideal "pick" for tbe role, one of the most difficult tbat a young actress has ever been called upon to play. Dorothy Dorr, long absent from our local stage, appeared as the Madame She la seen only la the second act She played the role exceedingly well, without sympathy, as the author intended. In the scene where she prevails upon Sylvia to stay, sbe was superb. Vincent Serrano did brilliant work as the Government Agent, lie was a little stagy In act one, bat recovered himself completely in the second, where he did his strongest work. It is in many respects one of old time hero roles. Mr. Serrano Is always ex- cellent In any role that he plays. Edwin Holt, as the politician who owned a half interest fa the Lockwood establish- ment, leaked and acted the potltal ward leader to tbe life. Despite the nature 'of the role he gave it a dignified touch. Tbe rest of the company played their rote* very well. , Especially good was Su- sanna Willis, as a colored maid, and Lola Mar i. a * " Ule °1i*r girl." "The Lure" was first played under the title of "The Victim," and waa In four acts. Before It came into New X"ork It was cut down to three and the title changed. Tbe second week began 18, Kelcty. ——^— ■ ^ DEHO. (v. s. babxqw, was.) The Ml at this bouse Ang. 14 found every- body in a good humor, and pleased. Enrico opened the bill with staging and violin playing, and he certainly got the most out of both. He was very well received. Marty nnd Marty, man and woman. In singing and Juggling, could improve tbe act by putting in tome comedy. Tbe singing of the lady would go over better If she showed a little animation in her work. yean Mackel, a singing comedienne, pleased. McKay and company, a man and woman, h> a very good sketch, found considerable favor. Dixon and Holmes, man and woman, In a singing and talking act, do very well. The young lady is bubbling over with personality. The Nine Erasy Kids scored the hit of KJi*.' Tta act fa one of Joe Woods', and it will undoubtedly be a fixture in hl8 reper- toire of the "kid" stufT. Elsie Jacobson and Bert Gordon rendered a duet with "It Take* ft Little Bain With the Sunshine," cleverly enough to bring them back for repeated en- S5».

Eugene O'Bonrke and company (see New Acts) and Harry Le Clairo were the double beadllners for a much better program on Thursday, 14. Harry Le Claire's refined old female im- personation was entertaining and full of naturalness in the manner* only Harry Le Claire ran offer It "These Amateurs Hake Me Sick" was the title of the number he used to express himself. A change to Ophelia, and the riot of fun that followed proved tbat this favorite old stage artist Is, to-day, as innocently funny, if not "fannler," than ever, and about six bows were tacked on at the close of his stay. Nip and Tuck. *he tumblers, one working clown, were an acrobatic bit with all they attempted, and Adams and Sebaffer the "swell" German and the Hebrew, with tbe best of their comedy still based npon the borrowing and smashing of a "violin," did very well. But Adams neglected bl> Ger- man dialect miserably at this show. The Tambo Duo, "The Dreamer's Fate" and Mlskel and Miller are also reviewed under New Acts. Manager Matthews has nope Booth and her company as bis headllner for Aug. 28- 31. in George M. Coban'a dramatic satire, "The Littl e Blonde Lady." Tod. GREELEY SQUARE. (U. X. BXOCB, MOB.) The bill for Aug. 14-16 was of pleasing variety. Kita Redmond contributed several catchy vocallsms. Including "Sailing Down the River" and "Bala with tbe Sunshine." Her imposing figure was well displayed In one of tbose diaphanous gowns. George Randall and company had their skit in good working order, the girl, am- bitious to marry a title, being completely fooled by her American lover, who Imper- sonated an over-impetuous French coast to her otter disgust . Laypo and Benjamin, acrobats in straight and Hebrew, made a big bit the acrobatics mixing well with the comedy. Warren and Blancbard (black face and white) started well with Down In New Orleans," and the comedy talk was well taken, also Mr. Blancbard s solo, Warren's well dressed wench was used for the finish, with a good rag medley. The Aerial Williams, a woman and man, worked well on the bars and rings, single and double. Corcoran and Doyle, a long and short fel- low, bad some good songs, also conversation, and tbe long party's grotesque dance was the nest of its kind, with some record high kicks. They danced off together to a good finish. Leon Rogee came on with his musical in- struments, for which be has no use, as his lip* and throat are all he needs to produce the music of a trombone, a violin, a 'cello, occarina and piccolo. He concluded with bis high note whistle. Neff and Starr were another good act Johnny «3ing bis usual stunt of bluffing, with a number of musical Instruments which he never plays, while talking hi* comics. The telephone song, wltb Mist Starr as Central, made the usual hit, and their com- bined work with voice and feet pleased im- mensely. "Only One Little Girl" waa tbe illustrated song offering, and an interesting series of pictures furnished other variation*. HUI. AMERICAN ROOF. (CHASLB3 rOTSD/M, HOB.) The heat of Aug. 18 did not seem to bave much effect on this popular theatre, for It was filled to Its usual capacity. The bill opened with the usual illustrated song, "You're My Girl," and It went over very nicely. Mint and Wertz arc two men billed as comedy gymnasts. They do some very good straight "stunts." but absolutely no comedy. The act pleased. Morton and Well, two men. In stories and parodies, got by. Healy and Adams, In "The Heathen Idol." do soma good work, ths best bit being the opening aa the Blllfken by the man. The act hasn't anything special to recommend It and It lust got over. For the first part of this bill all honor* go to Marie Rassell. Marie can ting, and that is all aha doe* besides wearing pretty clothe*. Sbe doesu't try to dance. Her num- bers, "Pullman Porters," "Curse of An Ach- ing Heart" "I Left My Old Kentucky Home for You" and last but not least 'They've Got Me Doing It Now," all went over big, and tbe audience certainly appreciated her good work. , . Frances Williams and company presented a skit entitled "Alia* Nlftle Testle," and did very well. Tbe company Includes a man and woman, besides Mist Williams. Nina Payne opened after Intermission, and this "little" lady showed, regardless of the spot she more than makes food. She 1* bubbling over with personality.

Well, ho need not be ashamed of his work, for the piece Is aa emphatic success, add will have no trouble In remaining here all season. The play la really a succession of laugh, from start to finish, and between these laughs are sandwiched several lines and scenes that bring tears to your eyes. Several character, not found In any of Montague Glass' stories of "Potash and Perl- mutter" have been added for stage purpose*. They are Irma, Potash's daughter; Senator Sullivan, a politician, and Boris Andrieff. a Russian exile, employed by these cloak ai,d suit manufacturers is a bookkeeper. No one "Potash and Perlmotter" story has been fol- lowed, bat the author has taken several In- cidents of the P. * P. stories which Mr. Glass has written for The Boturday Kveitng Pott and has Introduced nearly all the char- acters of any Importance. The play fairly bristles with humor. There is not a line, or suggestion, or scene la tbe entire three acts that will offend anyone of the Jewish faith. Indeed, several wen known nebrew cloak and suit concern* have advertisement* In tbe house program,.and nearly alt of them head their advertisements with a line quoted from a "Potash and Pcrlmutter" story. There Is a slight plot Andrieff, tbe book- keeper, is wanted by the Russian' Govern- ment for murder. Potash's daughter loves him. nod* both Potash and Perlmutter risk their entire fortune to lave blm from being sent to Siberia. They know bim only six months, but the fact tbat he 1* a co-rollgion- lst and Irma'e lover is enough for theso ™>q to take the risk. Jutt as everything looks blackest for tbe firm's credit news comes tbat the bookkeeper ha* been declared inno- cent and tbe firm's credit Is again solid. While Potash and Perlmutter are contin- ually quarreling with each other, down deep in their hearts they love and respect one another. In Ruth Snyder they have not only a wonderful designer, but a clever busi- ness woman, and Mawruss "pulled off" tbe best business deal of hi* life when he bo- come* engaged* to her. Barney Bernard played tho role of Abo Potash, and his characterisation was a classic. In make-up and In mannerisms ho was the Potash that Mr. Glass created In his stories Long ago we conceded tbat ho was a good comedian, and now we proudly admit that he I* also an actor. His success in his present role Is unquestioned. Alexander Carr. as Pcrlmutter, gave a splendid performance. Many clover lines fall to him and no got them over the footlights every time. lie. too, ha* several scenes that cal for "straight" actlag, and he acquitted himself with credit Louise Dresser, the Bath Snyder, was beautiful to behold and admirable a* the designer. Sho need never go back to mu- sical comedy or vaudeville for she proved that she is an actress of genuine ability. The gowns I bat sbe wore were "dreams." Joseph Kllgour waa the shyster lawyer, Henry D. Feldman, a role utterly unsutted to him. Blita Proctor Otis, as Mrs. Potash, was also disappointing. Not for a moment did she grasp tbe nature of the character. Lee Kohlmar, aa Paslnsky. a buyer, nnd Leo Donnelly, as a fresh salesman, were both excellent la comedy roles. Albert Parker, a* the Russian, exile (a straight character), played the role wltb distinction. The remainder of the role* are smalt nnd were well bandied. The stage nettings were admirable. The opening nlgbt brought out one of (he largest and most representative audiences tbe writer has ever seen, and this drsplte tbe fact tbat the night was one of the hottest oa record and week-end* are (till In vogue. Kotoof. mm SQUARE. (». v. moaas, una.) One of vaudeville's moat popular duos head* tbe bill here this week. They are Victor Moore and Emma Llttle- lield. and the vehicle presented by them 1* their old standby. "Change Your Act or Back to the Woods." It was evident on Monday that there were many in the sudlenco who had not seen the clever satire which portrays a young coopla just "breaking InUT vaudeville, for the skit went wltb a bang and there were curtalu calls at the finish for both performers. Announced as a special feature of tbe bill was the first presentation bere by Arthur Hoop*. Baby Hoffman and company, of a now dramatic playlet by Louis Allen, en- titled "The Open Window." (See New Act*. this Issue.) No fault can be found with this week* show, and of Ibe several fine acts In Its com- position. Tbe musical offering of James Dia- mond and Sibyl Brennan deserves (pedal mention for Its daintiness and the .excellent sharing vrlce* of these clever performer*. They received encores for all their up-to- date songs and they scored a nice little bit- John and Mae Burke kept the audience In roar* of laughter with their sketch, "Tbe Ragtime Soldier." It abounds with comedy and music, and they succeeded easily In re- taining their well earned reputation* a* one of the most entertaining couple* In present day vaudeville. lit man Adier gave a floe portrayal of bl* intensely dramatic characterization of the old miser, in the playlet "The Miser*. Dream." Mr. Adier Is well nigh perfect In his assumption of a role tbat fits him like the proverbial glove. Leo Csrillo, In bis qoalnt Chinese stories and mimicry, waa one of tbe bright nam- bers, and his new patter was fully as pro- ductive of langns as the older atorie*, and which have gained for bim an enviable repu- tation in tbe ranks of vaudeville. "Chuck" Blesner and Henrietta Gores gave tho first showing here of a new farcelet, called "If* Only a Bhow." (Sec New Acts, tbls issue.) Frawley and Hunt made their first appear- anco bcro 18, In a flying ring act (See New Acts.) The Three Bscardos closed the show In their expert acrobatic act 014 Timer. PROCTOR'S FIFTH AVERTJL (0.U8 MCCUHB. MUU.) A program of extraordinary talent 1* be- ing shown here this week; In fact it looks and sums up like the regular Gus McCuno kind. Although tho regular season la several week, off, the wholo bill Is composed of acts that ono generally looks for In tho middle of tbo season. The audience, which was rather large con- alderlng the terrible heat seemed to thor- oughly enjoy each and responded with much hearty applause. Walter Law nnd his sterling little com- pany presented that worthy sketch entitled "At the Threshold," and made hi* usual food Impression. Mr. Law Is without quo- Ion ono of tho moat finished actors now appearing In vaudeville. He portrays bl* character In a convincing manner and seldom falls to enthuse. As harmony dispensers, Will Oakland and his four harmonists duplicated tbo success recently nttalncd nt this house. They offered "At the Club," and at Its conclusion the ap- plause was so great that they wero forced io respond with several encores. Bernard Granville waa seen for tbe first time In a new offering. (See Now Acta.) Jack Gardner, called the fastidious come- dian, presented.his well knowu singing nnd dancing specialty, and cleaned up. Gardner had them going from tbe .tart and never lost them, ilia sonus havo been well chosen, and the talk he gives U bright and anappy, bringing him good result*. Geo. Parmer Moore and Florence Elliott Save "A Matrimonial Substitute." (See Sew ,cts.) Carmen Brccll, a young lady with a burnti of magnetism end talent combined put over one of the successes of the matinee. She presented a singing and violin specialty. While she-ha* a fairly good voice she made her biggest success with the violin, and should give a little more time wltb the In- strument The audience liked her Immensely. Sidney, n novelty cartoonist opened tho show, and had a hard time of it. HI* work I* good, bat be hid the audience coming In on aim. Chester Fpencer and Irene Williams were seen for the first time in a singing and dan- ting apclaity. (See New Acta) Lynch and Keller, la their capable club Juggling act held attention from start to finish. Their work Is on a par with any act of It* kind, and at tbe conclusion of their worthy performance were greeted by round* of applaase. Joe Barrett and Fred. Stanton appeared at the Monday matlneo wltb an act called "Across tbe Border," and were closed after tlie show on account of an Injunction gotten out against them by Bd. Gallagher, of Gal- lagher and Melds, claiming that they were Infringing on "The Battle of Too Soon." Those midair eiitups, Bollnger nnd Rey- nold*, had an easy tune of It on tbe slack wire, in holding tbo audience seated until the finale. They do somo really remarkable tricks that brought them rounds of approval. </«-■■ SCENERY THEATRES AND PRODUCTIONS, VAUDEVILLE ACT8 EQUIPPED Hew and Beeond Hand Scenery la H toe it MURRAY HILL SCENIC STUDIO MURRAY U1LLTI1RATRK, N. t.
