Emile Qrotcb, former manager of Mobs fi Brill's Eighty-sixth Street Theatre, has suc- ceeded deported Harry M. Livingston ar, commander-In-chie; of their theatre on Bos!. Fonrteentli Street, beginning his duties here Monday. March 10. Calllouette, batvi Juggler and slack wire Talker, opened tbo bill appearing here first half of last vreck, and the neighborhood was well represented Indoors by 8.30 P. if. After opening his act with the twirling of a baton, in neat white Military suit, Calllou- ette discards his roat and hat nnd docs the remainder of his turn oa the wire, juggling two and three Indian clubs, riding a unl- cycle, walking within a hoop, and finishing with an apparatus attached tc a hoop an<. decorated with spinning batons, while also balancing one on bis chin and spinning one in each hand. A usual act of its kind, but with a touch of additional "pep." Gladys Lyons, a neat single singing turn, followed to a good reception. ('See Ktt Acts.) Al. Bailey and one of the Terra Sisters, billed as Bailey and Tier, offered a reper- toire of songs, comedy, and finished strong with their musical bit on cornet and trom- bone. It's fall of speed, and they make one •f the most entertaining colored teams on the small time. Lefflngwell and company, nun and woman, present a "dream" sketch, whereby a scented pillow puts the husband to sleep, and what he dreams, "that be joins the Order of Royal Mongolians," bolls out a riot of slap-stick laughs In the action of the dream, and climaxes with his being awakened by the wife. They get it oyer with hard work, and it was a pleasure to the Bast Fourteenthora. The Australian Duo, man and woman, opening In Western riggings, before their own log-cabin drop, present a novel skit that allows the man a cowboy song, a few English Impersonations by the woman, and a special announced original song and dance of the Maori trtbe of Indians, of New Zea- land, by both as a finale. They are good entertainers. Nan and Babe Evans, still using Babe's batting Into the suffragette spiel of Nan's, from the orchestra, to begin the act. caused the usual surprise (oven the inquisitive sort here), for the folks were on their feet "for something" as soon as Babe eased over her first retort. Nan's comic bridal number for "The Girl Who Stole My Loving Man Away," is fair: while Babe's "I Miss You Most of All" and both singing "Bogle Man Rag" for a close, and "Chattanooga" as an encore were well rendered. They harmonize nicely most of the time, and look well. That the folks down Fourteenth Street way do not admire heavy looking sketches was the verdict when "The Pardon" was Strung upon the Illuminated calendar card gn. Immediately there began double and party conversations all over the orchestra. But when the act got well on to the meat of It they changed their minds, ceased the chat- ter and gave it a final good bearing mil a loudly applauded finish, probably because they favored the Governor's act in handing over a pardon to the mother of a man who bad murdered a "chesty" ward heeler's son In Belt defense. It was really well presented at this particular show. Bennett and Darling, man doing "tipsy" German character, and the woman In flashy eld rose gown, and masked most of the act, presented a tale of how a husband gives his spouse the slip, attends a masquerade ball, flirts with "a pippin," and anally finds out that said "pippin?' was bis wife, scouting his doings. Their repertoire of comedy busi- ness is varied, but Bennett and Darling should revise its entirety, for as It is the turn is talkatively tiresome. Toots Paka and her four Hawaalan mu- sicians and singers were naturally tbo fa- vored hit of the bill, because Toots' "Rully Bully" dance just suited the surroundings. Toots repeated It a bit stronger, and, with the "business" adapted by the Hawaiian who so nobly plays that guitar, the imaginations of Manager Crotch's patrons were vivid. Adams and iSchaffer, German and ne- trew comedians, singers and talkers, shot •long to many laughs, and the clever triple bar performing -Holman Brothers held It nil np In the closing spot. Fairly good show. Jilt of bill: Holman Bros., Gladys Lyons •nd Bailey and Tier. Tod. LOEWS SEVENTH AVENUE. ("JiKS" LUBIN, MOB.) The bill for March 10-18 was a variety one in every sense of the word, nnd Mana- ger Jake and his assistant Joe Vogei were, as usual, on hand to receive the crowd that flocked In. Gordon and Murphy, a two man turn, opened the hill with a little dancing, some back flips and talk. Tbe boys should get away from "stalling" away time. Tho straight could also Improve his appearance. Klass and Bernle. two men playing accor- dion and violin, scored one of the bits of the bill, and by the way the audience took them they could be playing yet. Harlan Knight and company. In Una Clay- ton's pleasing sketch. "The Chalk Line," did some very good acting, and got all the com- edy and pathos out of the act that is called for. Fay and Minn, dn a singing, talking and danelug turn, just got by. To say that Italpli Edwards mopped up is mild criticism. He Is one of those straight single singing turns that the audience warm' to immediately, and Ralph has a way all Ms own of putting numbers over. The way he turns from ballads to rags and character numbers is worthy of special mention, and his singing of Jibnpiro-Bemsteln's "Off With the Old Love on With the New" was "a capture." .._ Mile. Basse's dogs Is an "A No. 1" dog *ct The Httlo "purn" doing tho Tnnguay, also the balancing or another on all fours on a wine glass, certainly are sure-fire •tnnts." The act went Wg. The feature picture. "The Sfluaw Man." to etx reels, was well received. Pete. "TIEFLAND." Century Opera Hon.e. — Tirfiand ("Marta of the Lowland"), an opera In three acts by Lugen d'Albert, was glvea Its first Sreduction in English Tuesday evening, larch 17, with this cast: ■Scbastlano Louis Kreldler Tommasa Alfred Kaufman Morucclo Lonls D'Angelo Marta Lois Ewell Pepa Florence Coughlnn Antonla Louise Haussmann Rosalia Cordelia Latham Nurl Beatrice La Palme Fedro Gustaf Bergman Nando , Vernon IMIhart Priest Frank Mansfield Staged by Luioi Aliikhticri. Conductor— Ai.fbed Szundbei. Synopsis or Scenes. Act I—A Rocky Fastness In the Pyrenees. Act II—The Interior of the Mill. Act III—Same as Act II—At Dawn. Place —The Pyrenees and the Valley of Catalonia. Considered as grand opera, "Tiefland'' Is neither exceedingly grand nor excessively operatic. The music is for tbe better part rather heavy, and owing to tbe fact of there being few solos or ensembles incorporated In the score, becomes tedious In its monotony and lack of variation toward the finish. The operatic version of "Marta of the Lowland" is simply long drawn out melo- drama of the conventional kind, with such time-worn expressions as "Stand back,'' "Die. Villains "Curse you," etc., set to a doleful musical accompaniment The above lines are actual utterances of the characters, spoken, or rather sung In tbe last aot. The locale Is in Spain, but with the exception of the costuming and scenery very little of the atmosphere V the Valley of -Catalonia is suggested. The music Itself does not convey the thought*or color of the people either around whose lives the story revolves. It contains but one or two essentially Spanish passages. Then again It Is exceedingly difficult to reconcile Gustaf Bergman's marked Teutonic accent and method with the character of Pedro, the 'Spanish mountain shepherd. Mr. Bergman has a fine voice, however, and used it effectively throughout the evening. Lois Ewell, in the role of Marta, had few opportunities in a musical way. Hera was more a task calling for the services of n competent emotional actress. A duet in the last act with Bergman was finely sung by both. Louis Kreldlcr, as the "deep-dyed villain," Sebastiauo, was conventionally 'Wicked. His excellent baritone was strongly in evidence. Alfred Kaufman, as Tomasso, sang well and played bis numerous scenes -with dignity. Louis D'Angelo, us Morucclo, and Vernon Dalbart, as Nando, were two minor roles competently played and sung. Both men were in good voice and a delight to the eye and ear, as -they can both sing and act, apparently rare twin accomplishments. Beatrice La Palme, as Nurl, was mis-cast. An accent, method and costume in total variance with the role were handicaps diffi- cult to overcome. The production was well taken care of, as is usually the case with this well directed co"npany. The scenic Investment Is band- some and the light effects of the first act are worthy of special mention. ..... Tbe first act is all dialogue, indulged in bv the principals, tbo chorus not appearing until well toward the middle of the second The orchestra, under the able direction of Alfred Szendrel, acquitted Itself nobly. "Marta," with its gripping story, permit- ting tense situations, grandiose toIos, duets, etc., should have made a first ri>te structure on which to build a grand opera. Ben. PROCTOR'S 125th STREET. 1 (WM. A. MATTHEWS, MOB.) Manager Billy Matthews just couldn't stay away from tbo wee little oulce It this house longer than a fortnight, and although he apparently felt much "convalesced, you could spell "needed more rest" all over Ills striving to "beam" countenance upon drop- ping Into this house Tuesday evening, March 17. Although Harry Leonhardt, "the dean," did a revise of the managerial trick during "Little Napoleon's" absence, we must slip a passiug good word in for the new and 'andsomo superintendent of the house, •■Hustling" Joe Brown. . Lillian Mascotte, a young Jewish singer and musician, managed to open tbe bill slow- lv 4 New Acts ) After Klein and Klifton presented their novelty "dummy" skit (new acts), "Trap- ping Santa Claus," with a rather large be- liever in Santa Claus" boy featured, pleased as well as It has of late, with the plot climaxing with the return of a father to his wife and child after escaping from prison, where bo was doing another guy's time. He was tracked by a "fly" one, but the trap came into use by grabbing one of the latter a lower extremities during a dark Btage rough house, and father made a getaway while the kid held counsel with tbe unusual "Santa at the point of a revolver. Ben Smith, the black face comic, who grabs off change most every Winter as the partner of "E-Yah" Hughey Jennings, fol- lowed. Hen didn't forget that soothing tenor voice of his, either. Ben sang a piece of "Twenty Years Ago" to help cele- brate "the chasing of the snakes birthday," off stage, and after spreading his ever ready smile, enraptured 'cm some more with "Mandnlay." '•Off With the Old Love, On With the New," chattered a crlbful of new and some of bis old ones, and closed with "You Broke My Heart to Pass tho Time Away." Gee, Ben ain't not no Caruse, but all the same, Ben Is some popular tenor, whose voice- jigs as much personality as Hen has. Enuf Tor Ben. »tPoor Hughe.*.

Besides having tho front of the house ap- Broprlutely decorated for tho St. Patrick s ay celebration, Manager Matthews hail tbe parade pass his theatre on the outside, and a corking Domino two reel war picture, "The Wearing of the Green," on the inside. He's the little "John on de spot" for har- monizing his shows with the time of day. It was one of the good shows this house has had of late. To* UNION SQUARE. (FRANK ABBOTT MOB.) Back to "split" week vaudeville nnd pic- tures went this house Monday, March 16, nnd when wo caught tho show night of March 10, the house was nearly half full when Davis and Matthews, a man nnd woman, opened with a society dancing spe- cialty. A very neat dancing turn, and worth- ily wcU received. The Great ltlcbarcte, strong man turn, pleased. Mr. Richards does some daring stunts with heavy weights. Grundy and Lazzo (colored), man and woman, do not offer much of anything. A little more dancing nnd less stalling would lie an nil around benefit. The lady should appropriate a longer dress, and a few buttons on the vest of her partner. Harry Glbbs and company struggled by with a sketch. Elliott, Luckle and Young, ft three man cabaret turn, pleased greatly. They opened with "Dancing Around." followed with "I Miss You Most of All," by George Elliott, "the little tenor," and then Moe Luckio and Harry Young succeeded with "I Don't Want to Be a Soldier Man." Tho trio's suffragette number Is a big laugher, and for a close they ase "Twentieth Century Rng." The boys should have a prosperous time of It Nichols and tho Croix Sisters got a few laughs, due to the man's fair comedy ability. Pete. OUT OF TOWN HEWS Wntrrhory, Conn.—Jacques (P. F.
