Correspondence Hew York, November 1. — The Great question, by Pre lerick Paulding, put on last Monday night at the Majestic Theatre, proved to be nothing more than the problem. "Should a colored girl marry a white man if she can?" The play has been pretty well censured by the new York critics. Dion Boueicault once used Miss M. E. Braddon's novel. The Octoroon, as a play, at a time when, perhaps, there was some excuse for raising such questions. At the present time no one regards it as a question, hence why the play? Miss Jessie Bonstelle, a cle\er and popular actress, was the victim of the part of the colored girl. It was uphill work. In her support, doing good work, were Julius McVickar and A. H. Stuart. The great question with the owners of the Majestic Theatre seems to be bow to get an attraction that will fill the house like The Wizard of Oz used to do. • * * * Arnold Daly appeare 1 last week in vaudeville in the Colonial Theatre as the editor in Becoming an Editor, a dramatization of one of Mark Twain's old time sketches that in its original shape has served many a public reader. As the young man who knows nothing whatever of farming, but wdio when entrusted with the elitor's chair of a farmer's journal gives the subscribers directions as to shaking down carrots before they are ripe, looking after the Brussels sprouts when they hatch, and much other advice of like quality. Mr. Daly got all the fun out of Mark Twain's humor. He was ably assisted by Messrs. William Mandeville, Hamilton Mott and Josephine Rrown. The audience received the little play with evident approval and recalled the actors a number of times. • • • Mike Donlin. captain and star batter of the New York Giants, made his first appearance in vaudeville last week at Hantmerstein's Victoria. In a musical skit called Stealing Home, by Vincent Bryan. He was ably assisted by his wife. Miss Mabel Hite. with her songs and betnagging of the man who couldn't outhit Hans Wagner. Together they made a team that bids fair to equal the New York Giants in New York popularity. • • • Miss Mabel Taliaferro returned to the cast of Polly of the Circus last week when Miss Margaret Mayo's play was presented at the Grand Opera House before an audience that crowded that big theatre. Fully recovered from the illness that prostrated her four weeks ago in Chicago, she gave a naive and charming performance of the little circus rider who won the heart of the minister in Whose home she was cared for while suffering from an accident in the circus ring. Judging from the laughter and applause, the romantic story, witli its incidental oircus performance, has lost none of its potency to please. • • • To arrange for several new productions ami the Continental tours of his companies, Charles Frohman started for Europe last Tuesday on the Kronprinzessin Cecilie. He will be absent about a month, and will visit London. Paris and Berlin. He hopes to begin rehearsals as soon as he arrives in London for the production of Samson there. The title role there will be played by Arthur Bourchier. When abroad Mr. Frohman will engage several persons to appear here in his forthcoming production of The Dollar Princess, in January. He is also desirous of arranging for a theatre in London to which to move J. M. Barrie's play. What Every Woman Knows, so he can reproduce Peter Pan in the Duke of York's Theatre at Christmas time. * • • Before Mrs. Fiske makes her first appearance in Salvation Ni II at the Hackett, a new play by Ferdinand Gottschalk. entitled The Dreamers, will be presented at that theatre. Miss Anna Eronaugli is to be featured in the play, which is said to be a drama of serious purpose. * • » John R. Rogers has again become the manager of Minnie Palmer and has secured for her use a playlet by J. M. Barrie callel A Woman's Curiosity. It will have its initial presentation at the porepaugh Theatre in Philadelphia tomorrow. Miss Alison Skipworth will lie in the cast. • • • The Shuberts have signed contracts with Jameson Lee Finney and Harry Conor, by which both of ' these players will have roles in the Clyde Fitch version of The Blue Mouse, which is to be produced immediately. • » • Gertie Millar of the Girls of Gottenberg company will return to London next March to create the leading part, that of a shop girl, in a new play that is to be produced in London in the spring. I'ntll that time she will continue as the principal member of the Girls of Gottenberg. * * * Francis Wilson will begin his season on Thursday, November 5. opening at New Rochelle, N.

Philadelphia, Oct. 25. — Fortunately The Panic, pro, luce 1 at the Walnut Street Theatre, did not do much damage either to the financial interests of the nation or the audience. It was a modest, unassuming m>rt of a panic, which was quickly over with. Joseph M. Gates is its author. The Panic contains elements of a sociological play and a political play. It has the weak features of both, as well as considerable exaggerated action and much useless talk. Victor Moore's personality is greater than any one form of dramatic art, for it is not his art that caused as many persons as could crowd into the Forrest Theatre Monday evening to hang upon his every word; to laugh at his incessant slang, to shed the furtive tear at the slightest suggestion of homely pathos, and when the second act curtain fell to rapturously call him out again an 1 again, until he remin led them that there were two more acts. There are so many real good songs in The Talk of New York that they may not be mentioned. Of the principals. Emma Littlefield. Mildred Elaine. Sadie Harris, Stanley Forde. and a score more, were up to the Cohan standard of efficiency. Clyde Fitch's Brilliant Comedy Girls comes back to the Lyric, as amusing as ever. The Follies of 19H8 has two more weeks to run at the Chestnut Street Opera House. As The Witching Hour continues on its Adelphia run its popularity waxes stronger, and to the everlasting credit of Philadelphia playgoers, it is a pleasure to record that they are filling the theatre at every performance. The Devil stays at the Chestnut Street Theatre, drawing good houses. Andrew Mack produced his new comedy. Sergeant Devil M. Can", at the Park Monday evening in the presence of one of the biggest audiences of the season at that house. Polly of the Circus still reigns at the Bavard. Funny Sketches stays at Dumont's, while Keith's and Forepaugli's furnish excellent bills this week. The Man of the Hour entere I upon its third week at the Garrick. Hart's Theatre— Billv the Kid. National — The Black Politician. Girard— The Fool House. Empire — A Stranger in a Strange Land. Blaney's — Lucky Jim. Broadway — Vaudeville. Majestic — Vaudeville. Trocadero — Traveller's Burlesque. Bijou — The Avenue Girls. With Father and the Boys, the George Ade comedy, in which William H. Crane appears at the Broad, and The Governor and the Boss at the Park, are the only new plays of the week, most of the leading theatres continue their former attractions. At the Adelphia. The Witching Hour, with John Mason in the leading part, entered upon the final week of its stay, while the Garrick still has George Broadhurst's political drama. The Man of the Hour, which will also conclude its engagement next Saturday evening. Other holdover attractions are Follies of 1908 at the Chestnut Street Opera House; The Panic, a play of Wall Street life, at the Walnut; The Talk of New Y'ork, a typical Cohan musical show at the Forrest. With Victor Moore in his clever characterization of Kid Burns; and The Devil, in which the Orpheum players at the Chestnut appear for the third and last week. CALVIN M. FRANKLIN. November 7. 1 New Orleans, Oct. 25. — Tulane Theatre: The Girl Question has been up for soluttoj the past week and was well received hm critics as well as large audiences. Asl musical comedy it possesses considerably originality, and contains quite enougt spontaneity to leave a pleasant reeollectioil The lines of the play are as attractive mt the music, and the interpreting cast fulS up to recognized standards. Paul Nicholson in the leading role has a fat part and squeezes it dry. Easy and natural in every movement, he successfully carried his audiences to frequent outbursts of applause. He was ably assisted by Marguerite Devon, whose chief credit for distinction comes from her dancing. Cora George does a rare bit of character work that scored heavily. Henrietta Tedro has talent far above the possibilities of her role as the waitress, so even and clever was her work that one expectantly awaited for opportunities for vociferous applause. feeling that her womanliness and naturalness would justify some movement for conspicuous recognition, Nina Collins was the vocalist of the company. Her singing of Waltz With Me Till I'm Dreamy, was a treat. The chorus work was alio ,. par and the soenerv ami stage eftects of a high stan lard. Next week — The Traitor: Nov. 1 to 15. The Merry Widow. Crescent Theatre — Al (J. Fields and his big. capable company paid their annual visit and played to capacity business. The scenic effects, costumes, staging and new jokes were of a superb order. Brother Feld had his usual opportunitv for provoking laughter and his stunt. Opening the Campaign, in which he impersonates both Presidential candidates. Doc. (juigley contributes largely to this number an I also gives us a taste of his dancing abilities in which he, possibly at this date. stamS at the head of his class. Herbert and Rogers, as the dancing marvels, scored heavily. Billy Clark and Tommy Donnelly as end men. were, as always, very funny and had the house laughing always. Prank Hughes. Walter Sherwood, ('has. Reinhar.lt, and Gus Martin are vocalists of a high order. Al has a great show this year and should get the money. Next week — Warde and Vokes. Nov. 1 — The Wizard at Oz. Dauphine Theutri — The Man Prom Mexico was the week's bill and appeared to give entire satisfaction to good sized audiences. Lester Lonergan. Miss WinsloW, Messrs. Kennedy and Lloyd, and the rest of the cast were excellent. Next week, by request. The Devil, for a second week's run. W. L. McCONNELlTJi New Orleans, October 31. — L'pon its first appearance in any of the large cities of the country, the debut of The Traitor took place here Sunday night before a large audience. Interest was doubtless stimulated by the fact that it is a sequel to The Clansman, which latter play scored a big hit throughout the South last year. The local critics did not enthuse over It. claiming that it was too melodramatic. Nevertheless, It contained many points of interest, was well staged and smoothly presented. Prank Patton and Catherine Tower carrie I the leading roles acceptably and were well supported by Adell Barker, Harrison Crawford. A. J. Pickens and Guino Socola. the latter a New Orleans boy. November 1-14, The Merry Widow. 15, The Thief. Crescent Theatre — Ward and Vokes have the hest show of their career in their new vehicle The Promoters, which lias packed the theatre at each performance. You won't gather much from the name of the play, but after it's all over you will doubtless agree that for clever stage work, good songs and handsome costumes, it is about as good as they conic. No expense has been spared in the presentation and among the luxuries is to be seen the Ward and Vokes ladles' band, strong in numbers and good in execution. ( )f course Ward and Vokes are the same as ever with their running fire of witticisms. Sprightly and graceful Lucy Daly is also strongly "it evidence, with a. number of catchy songs and dances. I have never seen anything letter than the work of Lew Kelly SB Professor Dope. His work stands out Ilk* a cameo. The singing of Chas. Grady Chapman was another noteworthy t'.-anire. The male chorus is the best we have seen In a long while. The female chorus wH good looking, energetic and exploits the hest array of sheatli gowns seen this season. The attraction Is bound to be one of the successes of the season and will be out on the Coast next year. Next week — The Wizard of Oz. Dauphine Theatre— hi response to popular request. Lester Lonergan and his capable company presented for the second time their previous success. The Devil. The role of Dr. Kelmar suited Lonergan admirably, fitting into every movement and expression perfectly. Miss Wynne Wlnslow was equally as fascinating as Meta. The rest of the cast were up to all requirements. W. L. McCONNELIsM El Faso, November 2. — El Paso Theatre (Crawford & Rich. mgrs. ) : Nov. 1. The Boston Ideal Opera Company opened for S week's engagement. Carmen was presented with Miss Shattuck In the title rols. Laura Moore, as the peasant girl, is worthy of mention. Pauline Dorman, an El Paso girl, is witli this company and will appear tonight. The Crawford (Crawford & Rich, mgrs.): The Readiek stock in Too Much Johnson, week ending Oct. 31. pleased good business. Raymond Whitaker and wife, Margaret Pitt, have joined this company.
