The program stated that t in ''a comedy of youth and Springtime." It u—and a little more—when the "aged character" 5:Nunky (Mr. Bereaford) Is weighed up. Mr. Bereaford has neter been better cast (even when k feature of "The Conspiracy") than be is la Tom Barry's latest effort for bit use In vaude- ' A^'aupcrb little offering that has tears and hearty laugh imrts throughout and by people who could r.ot be Improved upon. It tells of the first love that a Mary had ever teen troubled or made happy with, for a Billy. Mary was the offspring or "Nunky's" daorhter, who died at her (Mary's) birth and bad been cared for for eighteen years by her uncle. In "a little cottsge at the foot of a hill" she and "Nunky" lived very decently—and happy, until Pllly, whose father "Nunky" had quarrelled with "twenty odd years" before, came Into her life— and she loved. She loved against "Nunky's" withes, and ao she snd Billy planned an elope- ment—wer hatted In the midst of tbe getaway by "Sunk." and here the action of "twenty odd jears" occurs, at twilight, in the garden and on the walk In front of "a little eottage by tbe foot of a bill." „ , Tbe elopement Is stopped and, after Nnnky sends Mary Into the cottage, he takes oat on Billy, in words, the grudge he holds sgalnst the lad's father. But tbe first cry that "Nunky" bad beard In mauy years csme from the eottate during this, and touched "Nunky's" softest spot of lovo for Ms niece. Billy Is blamed for It sll snd made lo go In and "make up" (as "Nunky" nuts It). A silhouette on the window shsde of Mary snd Billy "msklug up" in the usual "klis" remedy moves "Nunky" to close the blinds from the outside, snd he decides to go "up tbe hill" snd msko up with bis "twenty year" enemy. But tbe blast of an auto horu and the flash of a lii'Ddllrht onto the "little cottage by the foot of the bill" Informs "Nunky" that his enemy of "twenty odd years" had thought the aame, and Hie sketch ends with Nunky on ibe walk with out- stretched hand towards the approaching auto. Mr. TJeresford's performance Is most realistic and lilt part abounding In lines thst border equally on the pathos as well as the Joy, be carries hla audience, first with a "gooose flesh" chill and then startles them with a laiiuli. It Is all wonderfully alluring lu story and realistically ami beautifully staged. Isabel Memloaa mukes a charming and sweet Mary, snd her audience lovos her as strongly aa Nunky does In "twenty odd years." She Is ' a capable little- actress. The Billy that Frederick Tloward makes la un- doubtedly what Tom Barry hoped for. Howard la a clever youth, and has an easy going ,,at home" sir about his every more, and nuts his "punch" lines over to perfect results. Ellison, a garden hand, was cared for properly by Vincent Seavllle, wbo also acts as stage man- ager for the act. Mr. Bereaford hss something golden In hla new sketch. Tod. s lire. Gene Hntrhea * Co.

Oosslp Is the mulii topic of couversstlon, of course I As Mrs. Nellie lireckcnrldge (who writes "Lady Gossip" for a dally newspsiwr), Mrs. Hughes' jerforuMucc was most enjoyable. In fsct, her side partner gossips Jennie Lathrop (Addle St. Alva) aad Muriel Glddlngs (Edna Uourlnoy) loaned her excellent aid lu amusing ilm Alhambra audience of Friday evening (Sept. 18) with ibe puunlug of each other, to each and tealnti each other's hack. The action of the sketch pssses within Mrs. i>reckcnrldge's boudoir In her Washington home. Here Muriel Olddlngs and Jennie Lathrop atart the "gossip," and are soon Joined by "Lady Gossip" for a general panning of "loved ones." Mrs. Breckenrldgc had been separated from her iiutbimi, fourteen years previous, mid hsa a daugh- ter lu a convent, of whom no gossips know about. . beparated, ibe cares more than a wee hit about i (■curse Hastings, "In the United States service," and ho asks her aid lu securing a set of papers from a "questionable" Senator "that will help | Mr country." She secures the papers suceess- i ' u "y. and Is planning how to reach Bastings when Dora, her daughter, who lias run away from me convent, comes loto It all. There follows a mother and daughter" greeting, and after Dora , nforius ma thst she Is ,r iu love," she proves her irlp away from tbo convent Is not In vain, for while there she dug up nn old letter from her hunk that was In Jennie Lathrop's handwriting, and addreaaed to Mr. Breckenrldgc fourteen years rack. It disclosed a plot against Mrs. B. that trought grounds for a separation by tbe husband. '■■•"lulls on Jennie are Immediately planned by Lady Gossip," but before this happens Dora "mis tbe note addressed to her mother. She conceals herself and then surprises Ma and Warn on the balcony, and as George is the sweetheart she previously told Ma about, ho Is given a severe laying out by Dora. Matters are explained, tbe thing straightened out Just before i v „l.onlps, Lothrop and Glddlngs, reenter.

After the transfer of the plana for the cash, the Colonel makes an exit lone enough for Garrett to throttle tbe "greasy rat" of a Baron, atlck him op with hla own knife, and after securing the plana places him behind the curtain for dead. The return of the Colonel and Garrett gradually works up to hla "reason for being there " and threatens to show op the traitor who had held his rank In the srmy by money and Influence. But Colonel Maybew realises what a true bloe soldier Qsrrctt made, and to save himself he used hla uniform a* a "shield." tell- ing Garrett what a dlagrace It would be to It and "tbe flag" to have such s story lesk ont. It proved a successful "weapon," and Oarrett after placing the tainted money back on tbe "still breathing" Baron, agrees to keep Ihe af- fair covered, and promise to dlstroy the evidence, providing Msyhew gets from under "the grsndesi flag" by turning In bis resignation to-morrow." It is tbe sketcli Austin Webb snd company used last season. Mr. De Cordova's performance Is ndmlruVle, and though the story sll deals with "tbe flag," and is bound to be successful, this thorough showman's acting Is what mates the sketch fit tor "big time." John AlOen and Carl Bates do comparatively as well ss Colonel Moyhew snd tbe Baron re- spectively. About thirteen minutes Interior. Tod. Tracy, Stone and Spink. Ml"**li Stella Tracey and Victor Stone, ssalsted most capably by George Spink at tbe piano, scored a nice little bit with their new offering here. It is one of those singing sets that grips lis audi- ences tighter with esch succeeding number, and finishes up big. They will probably put In a velvet drop. It's worth It. "Bring a Bouquet of Flowers to Me" lo open. "Gee. But I'm Tickled to Death You Married Me" and "Cbmo Ont to California Anytime" are the double numbers Miss Trscey and Mr. Stone alng together. Tbe latter two are very good numbers, and are put over with care and clever- ness. Miss Tracey bas two by herself, "Nobody Knows Where tbe Old Man Goes" (an Irish comic). In her second, preceding Spink's whitt- ling specialty, she surprised tbe Alhambra crowd with a range of voice they didn't think such a "wee sweet girl" possessed, snd It brought out • healthy round of applause. Spink's whistle wss ln excellent tone, snd he scored an Individual triumph with It, and his rag singing of "I Gotta Sing, That's All." Following Miss Tracey's Irlahrr number Stone, cbsnged form blue serge to dress suit, sang bis one solo about "Rosa, real well. The set bss been finely dressed, Mils Tracey making three ehanges snd 8tnne two. going to a eream colored flannel suit and paoamu nat that a green tie and hat band set off tastily. Stone apiiesri.'d to be bothered with husklness (.Sept. ID), but apnarcnfly not to those who sst In the Al- linmhra seats, for they took him ss being at his best. George Spink Is a full third of tbe set. and sever lesves the piano from start to finish.

They offered a witty conver- sation, with the man as a "drummer" and the girl as a "public stenographer," as this houso bss bad In mony, many moons, and rendered three songs capitally. In fact their material Is so "McKco" that most of It flew over Harlemltrs' heads as rapidly as It was served out, the nudl- enco only waking up on tbe man's clever catch- line—"Now, you take this card." After two songs and conversation at the type- writer their rendition of catchy double dance, they exit and Ihe scene shifts to "two," set with tench. The man sings "Bellboy Band," uini then drags on the woman, garbed as black face bell boy, and for Ihe next five minutes he flushes pulls snd throws her about the stage for he "rag doll" finale. Her performance In re- semblance to a "bunch of rags" Is sbove the avenue, and finishes the turn up In great style. Each possess strong personality, the woman makes a change >f towns, hut the man slicks to a dull colored business suit. A darker shade of uistorlal (Hue) would look better.
