do Najac and Paul Ferrier. hav uuuui bum a iw uuzueii 01 ute work waa given to M. Noblet. and, thank to one of the most inimitable impersonations that I hare ever teen on any stage, the comedy is booked for a Winter's run up to holiday season at all event. M.

Loriqnols is a lawyer, and his loving heart adores every woman in the world, even his own wife occasionally. He seems to enjoy the unavoidable falsehood of his life as much as the Don Juan escapades; he flatters about in the constant atmosphere of Invention and pretense with as much Joy as a fish in cool water. He even avoids the truth when it might serve lis purpose better. His wife is truthful, trusting, loving, and devoted, aud the peculiarly sweet Madonna-like face of Mile. Depoix Just suits the character.

Now, Loriquois takes, too. Just as much delight in deceiving his mistress, and even more, perhaps, than he does in betraying his wife, for she asks no questions and believes the weakest sort of a story as she would a Biblical commentary. Colinette. a lingers and the lessee of an apartment In one of the many houses of the rich lawyer, is an old bird in the game of -alianterie, and it is really worth the while to make the endeavor to pull wool over her eyes, and success is delicious. Colinette, moreover, reallv loves this amusing, easygoing, champagne lover.

He is all sparkle, all funvthere is never a moment d'ennuL There is no English spleen, and no Ibsenian or Tolstoi conjecture, remorse, or predestination in ths joyous disposition of Loriquois, who has come Into the world on a sunbeam, and who enjoys evil almost unconsciously. In Act the husband returns presumably from a shooting expedition. Ilia very make-up would excite suspician in any other mind than that of his trusting wife; she worries about tho big boots, plainly covered with plaster by an obliging workman, and even listens credulously to the explanation of four rabbits, bearing the name and address of the provision store instead of the promised partridges, quail and so forth. Colinette becomes less easy to delude when a big lobster is taken out from amid the partridges of the basket Theae incidents give the keynote of the play. It is a mere Palais Royal burlesque, cleverly maintained on the outside border of improbability and always suggestive of Immorality without being offensive.

Besides his wife and Colinette the lawyer is in love with a certain Caailda, a bountiful Peruvian, who has come to Paris to find a husband, snd is sure to succeed, for she Is very rich. Her brother Is with her. He is not strong in family likeness, for his face is very orange, his eyebrows are very black and terrible, and his beard Is verr long. sets him down at once as the "eon of Buffalo Bill." This brother, 8an Catalpa and his nsme is as much of a poem as his make-up loves Colinette even unto marriage. In this three-act imbroglio there comes vl Ponteaudemer, and some half doten more or less pretty women, who look bewitchingly, are not too dull or too pushing In speech, and that is about all that there is In the soap bubble of brilliant color, sparkling in wit.

The second act is the best, and the amusing incidents are given almost entirely to Noblet and to Ugalde, (Colinette.) Margaret Ugalde Is the daughter of the famous Hinger who created Qalathee. Hitherto she has sung only in opera bouffe and with considerable eclat. She was born to the stage and her training and love for her profession are distinctly noticeable in her clever work. She and Noblet reallv made the act, and Ugalde will soon be in ihe first rank as a legitimate actress. The last act takes place in a fashionable restaurant, where everybody comes, including the injured wife, bent upon compromising herself with her husband's secretary, because she has at last discovered some love letters addressed to her husband.

It does not take a very long time for Loirquois to persuade ber that these letters were a Joke, and he promises to be faithf nL Caailda weds the old bau and hex brother marries Colinette. The play is full of faults, even if your indulgence admits the exlstenoe of a play. The whole business is so thoroughly well done, carried off in such rollicking humor, that you have neither time nor will to question or find fault The extraordinary spontaneity of Noblet, the ease with which he makeseverything lively, is truly delightful, lis has never done better work, and it was not easy, for the role of an actor hiding under table and restaurant counters could easily become ridiculous, but Noblet is a thorough artist, and his touch is light and delicate, and he seems always to enjoy his toil. It is a tedious part, for he is never off the stage, and he has long intervals of silence where he must interest, amuse, and explain to the audience by pantomime. I should fancy the play to be a Wynd-ham possibility, with that usual toning down and pruning necessary to French plays for foreign presentation.

Here the pnbhe has passed judgment, for the critics. Ul.il PrvmieA wf ther inclined to cavil, which is entirely absurd, for it is impossible to reason about nothing, or to infectious laughter, starting Trom the stage and merrily forcing its way J0. opper gallery. It is easy to realise what an inferior cast might do, as ths rare quality of the principal role is the margin given to personality. Noblet finds snchandsuch effect in his own peculiar characteristic, his gesticulation is almost jrord painting, and it is all so easy and so another artist might give as much pleasure by other ways and meana There is no extravagance in the stage fiv none nedd, Mual at the Uymnaaej every scene ia nicely presented.

Suddenly the shadow appears on the window eurtaias the shadow of a passing policeman, who has seen th open window and stops to roder whether or not he ought to ring the door bell and tell Mr.

"The Henrietta" was the first of these playa, snd ia atill the beat of them, perhspa becanne BroDson Howard gives two years to the construction of one play.

But Mr. Boaenfsld. with all his evident careieas-nea. hi lack of application, and hia frequently misplaced eonfldenee in hia own powers, poa-seaeee a native ift of orhrinallty which Belaaco snd Ds Mills either lack altogether or rigorously auppresa.

The financial part of Men and Women" Is skillfully wrought, and all the personages directly lnrolved In the trouble of the Jefferson Rational Bank are interacting and reasonably true to natare. The erring cashier, the hotheaded, impulsive assistant cashier, the bank President, the gray-bearded mab with a history, his daughter who loves the her the hero's sister, the stock broker who tills himself, his stricken wife, the counsel of the bank, the orusty old Director, snd the subordinate figures of the other Directors, and the bank examtnar are drawn daftly and indicate, If not the poet's sympathy with human nature, at least a close obaerrstlon of the men and women of tnta. through the medium of the newspapers. The play la not constructed on Mr. Howeila' patent coupler and buffer orlnelnla.

but that portion of the plot that deals with these person ages is very cleverly hsndled. The scenes In which they figure sre all Interesting. The laat meeting of Presoott and his ruined broker. Klrke; the scsne between Presoott and Agnes when the sulolde's letter Is received; the interview between Prescott and Rodman; the dispute of the bank President the counsel of the bank and the cashier in the ballroom; the midnight meeting of the Directors and it sequel, are all wonderfully effective In both their dra-matlo and their pictorial anpect and even the melting scene between ths mother and son in ths last act la true enough to nature, and just what pleases the virtuous multitude which al-wsys gets tears in its eyes when a mother talks to her grown-up son aa If he were still an Infant There are blemishes, of oonrae, even In these portions of the piay. Bank Presidents, for Instance, do not discharge undesirable clerks when they meet them casnally In society.

They wait until next morning at the bank. But a scene in the bank is manifestly Impossible in this oaae, so Mr. Cohen tell Mr. Beabnry that his services will no longer be required while they are both calling at the house of Mra Prescott Mr. Snap, who produces Prof.

Babbage's Roman tragedy In A Night Off." is compelled, because of the smallness of hia company, to change the character of a lovely girl first to a man, then to a boy, and, finally, to an Incidental letter. A letter of dismissal would have served as well In th ma nt aAhn mn uieobiUg 4etween the President and th assistant cashier. ous there are already too many letters in the play, and the authors have done their best, considering the exigencies of the theatre, both In this incident and In the rather 111-tHhed visit of Arnold Klrke' weeping widow to Miss Rodman In Mrs. Delafleld's ballroom. What seems to be a graver blemish Is the hollow pretentiousness of the text In some places where It should be aim pie, direct, and apparently unstudied, and Mr.

Do Mille can so write when he chooses to. The scene of the Governor's confession to his daughters suitor Is absorbingly interesting. But why should he use so many words It may be natural for him to drag in Hugo's Jean Valjean. A man in his queer position might think of that and might even ponder over it as a good way to begin his painful speech. But surely, having thus made a beginning, Rodman ought to get to the facte as soon as possible and get over them, and not try, like a newspaper reporter, to make a good atory out of his experience.

la aptte of Mr. Frank Mor-daunt's dignity and earnestness, the scene aa it is now written, with the Grand Central Station on a Winter night the manacled eonvlet and the pale-faced woman all Insisted upon, reminds one of an spinner of cheap Action dictating the first chapter of a romanoe to a typewriter. Of course there Is -not a touch of satire in all theplay, and both Belasco and De Mille would willingly go around the blook to avoid Irony and eynieism. The rather needless expression of an estimable Hebrew's religious views, and the frequent ailuaioos to a hereafter and the value of repentance are quite as serious as If they were uttered by the profound Talmage. It Is hard, though, to reconcile the religious fervor of the serious passages with the flippant remarks about sacred things in the comic scenes.

What will become of the young elerlo who goes so far as to declare that he is not worthy to drive tack In the carpet that covers the golden stairs What are we to think of the harp incident, and the disrespectful allusions to angels Most of the humor of Men and Women" Is Indeed feeble. The funniest speech in the play, as an actual fact is that of the member of Congress, who says he has been living too near Mount Vernon to toll a lie, and that 1 a graveyard Joke. We remember with pleasure Dora' valentine, the language of which had to be ohanged to make it appropriate at the expense of the rhyme. But the other valentine incidents are tedious and melancholy.

His originality, imaginative fosoe, poetic refinement, and un usual skill of expression are now generally ad mitted.
