Act III.—Office of Mayor Limber, The day before election. An IV.—Same as Act II. Two days after election. Staged by Robert Milton. On <Mondoy night New Yorkers had an opportunity to seo The. Saturday Evening Pott itoriea in dramatic form. The large audience liked it. Mr. and Mrs. Chester have taken certain episodes from various Blossom stories and have succeeded admirably In turning out an amusing comedy in which love, society and a travesty on politics arc prominent fea- tures. The construction Is weak, but the character drawing, particularly that of Col. Wntterson BloKsom and Jim Fleecer, Is ex- cellent. The piny really ends with the third act, but a fourth has been added for the purposo of securing several hearty laughs. The cast, while large, ban mauy small parts. The action takes place in a small Southern city. The Isis Club, an exclusive woman's organization, aro about to elect a president. The contest Is between Mrs. Clara Plckyune, who ceeks re-election, and Cordelia Blossom, the wife of Col. Watteraon Blossom. Mrs. Pickyuue has for her lieutenant Mra. Lim- ber, the mayor's 'Wife, and Cordelia has the aid of Mrs. Georgia Fleecer, whose husband 6am 3. Barton, as Wash, the colored at- tendant, were all good, in tbeir respectlvo roles. The others nave a little more than nothing to do. "Cordelia Blossom," beyond the expensive women's gowns, did not cost much money to produce. Kclccy. ■ HARLEM OPERA HOUSE. (UABBr SWIFT, MOB.) Phenomenal business has been going on the increase more than ever -within tbe past week. Mich visit here seems to find a "fuller'' house. -They were standing "knee deep" at 4he rear of both orchestra and balcony last Saturday night, and in order to save James Mnnnlon a assistant on tbe door an arrest. Manager Swift shut down selling tickets before SK A well arranged bill was on for the "last half," Aug. 27-80, with Will J. Ward and his Girls and the Five Bragdons "in lights" ont front Ward and his four graceful pianodassles and his petite and pretty young brunette partner were the real class of the blU, although Wil- bur Sweatman, "The Wonder of Clarinet- ists," and Naiada and company (see New Acta next week), and Lloyd and Wilbur scored solidly. After Nulada and company (two young women and a man) toe danced and sang be- fore a lot of pretty scenery to snecess, May- belle McDonald, an auburn haired singer with a fair twittering operatic voice, sang an operatic number to open, then "I Had a Gal—I Had a Pal," "I Love You" (which waa sung tbe beat), and took an eno.-e. Miss McDonald should keep away from the opera scores—she sounds better when war- bling ballads. Wore a flashy orange And Mack gown all the way. Lloyd and Wilbur, straight with rangy baritone voice and comedian who does a mix- ture of German, Yiddish and "Nance" dln- l(i ts, after playing up the former for half the act. He also adheres to some "nut" stuff —and got it over stronc—tho' It mars the turn. Re's a fair comedian. Straight sings "California and You" in good voice, thongh Inclined to linger on "favorite" notes. Lloyd and Wilbur shall do well In the popular priced house. Solly Lcvoy (who, with Micky McDcrmott, shares the honors of being the most popnlar stage managers In Harlem, thongh Mickey don t sing) sang "When You Kiss and Make Up Again in the same true baritone voice lor the animated song. Wilbur Sweatman, who has no successor when It comes to playing a clarinet, swept things up all over again In No. 0 spot, and was generous In giving his audience more without "forcing." They don't come "hard- er" workers than Sweatman.

"Surprise Night" Is how Manager Matthew* haa educated bis patrons to look upon each Friday evening's ahow, and that he is suc- ceeding In his plan to "get them in" for something unusual was attested by the crowded house that attended the last show of Aug. 28. Tbe show consisted of tbe regu- lar bill of nine acts and five "surprises" in Maurice Abrahams and Al. Wohlman, Elsie White, Tierney and Bond, Frank Gordon, and the D'Bella Opera company. A stronger "regular" program Manager Matthews has never had congregated for a half a week than was on hand 27-30 when Bllta . Proctor Otis, in a comedy sketch en- titled "The Store Manager," shared tts evening'* "hits" with the Criterion Trio and Kenneth and Lacey. "The Store Manager" is made funny be- cause Miss Otis makes what merit there Is to her part overlap the weak spots. It does not allow her the display of humor she is capable of. „ Kenneth and Lacey scored a use bit here with their character singing and graceful dancing and a "knock-out" suffragette num- ber. They will contlnuo to score uh long as they offer the brand of entertainment they ant giving now. Ceclle Crane and company (Including Klmer Thompson and A. t>. Deronl) pre- sented a well worn idea In which one college boy dons the feminine clothes in order that his roommate may have a fiancee on hand to greet his "cousin" (Ceclle Crane), who comes to visit him. Miss Crane slogs a solo in real good voice, looks and works well, and is given as good support as might be expected of such "well done" characters as her company act. A. D. Deronl worked up some laughs as the "room- mate" and sweetheart Of the "cousin" he was fooling, but loses many opportunities for ttronger laughs. Lewis and Frank, two Scotch musicians, who wero rushed In "to fill" for Elsie Shan- non and company, are probably assuming the above title for personal reasons. They work in kilts, are good musicians on concertinas, flutes, banjoes and clarinets, but overplay tbo comedy to "tiresome." Dan Maloy and Mildred Woods won favor in No. 2 spot, their dancing rotting them over to a strong finish. Miss Woods has not been endowed with a powerful voice, but sbe'a dainty and clever when dancing. Ma- ley's "wop" number needs bolstering up. Lyrlca. a wonderfully sweet voiced so- prano, was a great favorite, with a choice repertoire of suitable numbers, Including an operatic one, "I Love Yon," and "Coming Thro tho Rye" for a flna'l.

BOSTON, 21B tremont Street ; PHJLA., 903 Walnut Street THE SONG SENSATION OF THE COUNTRY Is tho chief political boss of tbe town. Seeing that tin- mayor's wife and Mrs. Flckyuuo snub his wife on every occasion, Jim Fleecer threatens not to run Limber for mayor ngalu, and as Mrs. Blossom Is par- ticularly nlco to sirs. Fleecer, he consprrcs, with his supposed polltlcul rival, Dnn Dickson, to run tho Colonel (or muyor and "double cross" Limber, whom be decides to nominate again. Although Dickson 1h ngalnst tbe plan, bo must obey Fleecer or get no patronage. The colonel does not want to run, but con- sents because hi) ambitious wife tells him that tho party to which be belongs Is going to tho dogs bocause tin- honest men In It are mnklug no effort to save it. But the colonel makes stupendous mistaken as a candidate, and his speeches mako his campaign inunn- ger, Dan Dickson, a crushed man. The colonel tells a labor committee that he does not believe In unions, and he also announces that, In Mb opinion, foreigners should not be permitted to vote. Everything looks towards the re-election of Limber, who Is, in reality, a most incom. Eetcnt and corrupt mayor. But in order to ring about his defeat, Fleecer and Dickson bring about a labor strike, which becomes so serious that troops aro sent by tho gov- ernor ngalnst the strikers. Limber tries to prevent the coming of the troops, for he knows that should they arrive he will bo Illumed for their coming, and when Col. Blossom calls and tells htm that ho will cull out the HlohBom dray Guards to stop the riots, the mayor gladly accepts bis offer, for he sccb In that act sure defeat at the polls for tile colonel. The colonel marches his regiment against the soldiers mid thus prevents tho strikers from being shot. This makes him tho hero of tho Mar and nn easy victor at tho polls. Cordelia had also been victorious, for she defeated Mrs. Flokyuno for tho presidency of the Isis Club, and also put her pot scheme Into effect—to tear down a certain bit of tho city and mako of it a gorgeous piiuu— the credit of which Mrs. Plckyuno wanted to deprive her. llurr Mcintosh, many years absent from the local stage, scored n groat personal suc- cess as the dignified, blundering Col. Blos- som, Ills Southern accent was a delight nnd he played his love scenes with much tender- ness. His Col. Watteraon Ulnsenm was a genuine portrait nf the Southern gentleman of yesterday. Ho wore no mustache or f ton tee, which was rather smashing things n the make-up for a Southern colonel. Harry C. Browne made Jrm Fleecer a forceful and Ukcablo political boss. He la the possessor of a resonant voice and has a pleasing personality. Lnuiso Dresser played the title role with a good deal of spirit and charm, and in the one dramatic bit which falls to her lot sho was capital. Jnno Grey lent charm, sweetness and beauty to the rolo of Georgia Fleecer. Although he has but one line, "I want ray dinner," and that comro nlmoet at the end of the hint act. Charles Dodsworth scored heavily ns a hen-pecked husband. Howard Triiesdell, as Dickson, tbo ooll- glciaii, hns a good role, and he made every point in It stand out. Lltllnn Lawrence, nn the dlsngrecablo Mrs. Plckyune: Morion Kenby, ns the mayor's wife; Kdward 1'olaud, as the mayor, and "slapstick" comedy, stnglng and dancing act. Tod. IIAMMERSTEIN'S. (ABTliUR llAMMEHSTKl.N, MOIl.) As the season advances and the weather becomes more favorable for theatregoers, tho business at all performances has Improved materially. Tbe long bills given from week to week seem to appeal to the regular pa- trons here, while the location of tho theatre Is vory well adapted to draw quite a patron- age from out ot town visitors to tbe city. The bill this week Is headed by the well known actor, Corse Payton, supported by Minna Phillips nnd a company or three peo- ple, presenting the comedy sketch, 'Tbe Wife Tamers." It was evident at tho Mon- day matinee, 81, that Mr. Payton was very well known to the audience, as his reception was an extremely cordial one. The sketch r.cnred quite successfully. In the long list of acts* which comprise tbo bill thcro Is a pretty "sight" act, desig- nated as "Nick's Holler Skating Girls/' There are six bright faced girls In rich nnd appropriate costumes, who seem to perform almost Impossible and Intricate evolutions on the wooden rollers. The act went over big, sb It fully deserved to* do. WlHnrd Slmms and company, in tho laugh- able skit. "Fllader's Furnished Flat," again proved that the time honored skit had not outlived its usefulness. Of course, it is one of the mo.it Improbable bits of rough comedy In vaudeville, but it gets tho laughs by its very absurdity, and therein lies the secret of its long life on the vaudeville stage. It Is doubtful it there is a better trained troupe of simians than those shown on Mon- day by Prof. Gillette. These little fellows dlb-plaved marked Intelligence, and r.Uelr antics, at times, would bring laughter from a inlnt. The Bison City Quartette again demon- strated their ability to dispense sweet har- mony In song 'blending, and their character comedy work Is replete with fun. Their num- ber wag one of the most entertaining of the bin. Dorothy and Madeline Cameron began tbe final week of their engagement 30, In their graceful dances. Keno and Maymo (formerly Keno and Greeu) were finely received and scored one big hit In their songs, patter and expert dancing. It was their first appearance here as a team. (See New Acts, this Issue.) Fred Dunres has never appeared to bettor advantage here. His songs went over big, while his stories were relished with accom- panying laughter by an audience not in- clined to bo over liberal. Ills burlasqne drama at the finish of his act, however, brought tho applause in bunches. Grace Do Mar sang four songs, all of which were well diked, and she made two changes of pretty costumes. Jimmy Flynn, In front of tho animated song sheet, gnvo an excellent rendition of the ballad, "When the Angclns Is Ringing." He was In fine voice and the ballad made a marked impression. The Flying La Marts opened tbo show with their lively trapeze act. They are very quick workers, and the work of the girl was worthy of a mnlo athlete, Hteluer and Swaync, in a musical number. Montague's educated cockatoos closed the Show with a most clever exhibition ot stunts seldom seen in bird performers. During the show Manager Matthews intro- duced Maurice .Abrahams and Al. Wohlman as Surprise No. 1, and they gave the crowded house a treat, offering "Twentieth Century Kng," "Wonderful Dream," "They Start the Vlctrola" and "All He Does Is Follow Them Around." ENle White, a pretty young girl, sang one that waa thick with poor enunciation, used "They All Had a Finger In the Pie" for her second, and "The High Cost of Loving" for her third and last. Elsie would un- doubtedly have sung again, but the show was a long one and it was getting late. She bas some personality about hor. make* a good appearance, but favors putting all her songs over with tho 'triack face" lingo and mugging. Tleracy and Bond, a corking clever pair of "exponents of ballroom dances," were a big success. They wero engaged to dance (his season with '"The Dancing Ducbess," which production only lasted for three perform- ances at tbe Casino after Its opening a fort- night ago. But Tiemey and Bond have something on many of the modern dance duos playing vaudcvlllo these days. Miss Bond Is an extraordinary pretty young woman nnd most graceful in her every move. To say that her partner equals her In grace and makes a good appearance gives them a verdict of "worth a spin around the two a- dnys." Frank Gordon, a magician of no mean ability and personality, was a huge success as Surprise No. 4, Ho exhibits a few very clever stunts In his turn and, with the use of two "plants" (one a boy at about ten years of age), the comedy derived by bringing them upon the stage arouses good solid fun, He should do well. The llnnl "surprise" of the evening was the D'Bella Opera company (two men and one woman), an Italian operatic trio with excellent singing voices. Their duets and trios were accompanied by one of tho men and the young woman on guitar and mandolin, re- spectively. Owing to lack of space In this issue the offering of Marlon and Lee will appear under New Acts In next week's Issue. A great small time show. To4. REW BRIGHTON* (SAM MCKBB, MOB.)
