personates Betty I Mare an actress Surely ehe Is a talker with a neat knack of very juletly makJiR every word count for its fullest purport She speaks the humor of her roles as though It were original and spontaneous And she Is a baUadlsf who with a weak though clear voice made a reputation suddenly by singlnglna the experience of a certain rural Brown who came down to uwc and had educational experience That was six ears ago Since then she has been a tourist In he lead of a company If you ha seen and forgotten her I jnay recall her to your memory by teUagyou that she resembles May Irwin In person ethod and a natural gift of fun though lacking In Mays breadth In all those particulars Before Marie has been In tre new play ten minutes she Is singing a cltty about a ruraligt who like Brown comes down to townand gets convinced as phrased in the refrain Jf a long road home so bring plenty of shoes That song Is suggested by the desire of the Bohemian coterie at Nice as expressed by a show

than the Parisian ones made by the forelgn AKaln is Marie Cahlll an actressT I dont think so She is a bully good entertainer but her share In a play aJ waa seem to me like a monologue Sue speaks io the audience rather than her stage companions In The Boys and Betty is Marie Cahlll not Betty Barbeau and her separation from the plot 1 em phas John Kellerd contrastingcontrasting assimilation Tea the very legltl rweilera whose talent has ranged from the half breed Indian cadet at scholarly Drince in Hamlet Is In tnis musical comedy of The Boys and Betty He doesnt sing a note however nor dan in a etep but enacts the fop of a huband with all the dignity of his best artistic endeavor There Is Incongruity In the coupling of Kellerd and Marie as remarkable achievement but la that how a huge block of white hot metal was slowly lowered over a spot where the hero lay boixnapaaa the heroine who ha been lured to tbejnlll by A villain locaed her lover Jn the pick of time Th suspense la Via

If It were not based on such almost Impossible improbabilities and expressed In such Insincerely unrealistic language his ancient plot might not come to such disaster The Octoroon you must know met The Man of the Hour and the result is The Great Question Mr Paulding stirred up the once liked complexity of a white girt wiiha taint of negro blood with the newly popular type of political drama In which honesty finally throttler corruption And after mixing well and seasoning with comedy relief he serves the composition as a new play The lily white granddaughter of an octoroon Is the daughter of a federal Judge who ha not Judged It wisest to marry the mother So when he refuses to be bought up by a gang of land stealing politicians a double exposure of his daughter as bastardic and negro tainted Is threatened Bouclcault In The Octoroon dodged the racial question by proving that his octoroon wasnt an octoroon And that theatric genius having Tilt on the Idea of a crime accidentally

by way of Wash nbion The firs named two pleases us much one Intellectually and the other cxdtantly Jose Echegaray looms big In Spanish literature and politics and for some years his queen sent him into exile and for sears he lived In Paris and while there he wrote this piece which Was acted here la a translation by Maude Banks in 1S99 A year later John Blair had a go at It Now William raversham presents a free and originative version bj Charles Frederic Nlrdllngcr I imagine that Kche garay observing that nine In ten of Paris plays from tragedies to farces were plotted on the familiar French triangle of adultery undertook to vary the monotony by a triangular formation with a guiltless wife her unjustifiably Jealous husband rard their strictly honorable joung friend an Inmate of their household The theme of Echegarays drama Is not a liaison but the portal evil jf slander He has the husband listen with careless incredulity at first to the gossip that says the friend Is his wifas para nour but suspicion credence and finally Jealous rage ensue and the climax Is his death as the result of a duel with one of her calum riators The variant of the old Frencn trio Is new with Its Spanish exposition of baneful gossip In the earlier trials of El Gran Gale oto in Ehglish here the husband was the more salient character Eben Plymp ton and Arthur Forrest played him In an Ibsenlan spirit but William Faversham In taknig up the play for a more popular theat leal appeal has had it so shaped and mannered anew by Charles Frederic Nirdlinger that the calumniated friend Is the hero yet In putting himself into that role Faversham hasnt sought to belittle the husband nor the wife He would hardly care to weaken the wife anyway as Julia Opp who portrays her la Mrs Faversham I believe that Faversham has set out like several other American actors to a new Richard Mansfield as a self managed player with a repertoire of serious dramas He etarts very well with The World and Iks Wife A play of less mind and more exciting matter Is Via Wireless which agitetes It audience with electricity In It two episodes One Is in the Pittsburg mill where the huge cannon barrel of almost molten steel hisses and sputter as a crane trolley carries It from a furnace to an oil tank in which It is tern pored There has been a quarrel over this device but for advertising purposes I think In a play now In town Tha Girl and the Detective is a similar scene hich I described when it was new as fc saturnalia of the Devils Darlings doesnt stop at that There are other congenial tnngs in current theatricals for her to utllze She has the play of The Soul Kiss if not for herself then by vrvxy oi ner manager and when as a devllene she has got a grip on her victim in a merry widow waltz she subjects mm io a soui kiss tnat challenges the record for endurance Tet the fellow wont oenver nimseir to this composite of femi ntne devil merry widow and soul kisser even though she focuses on him a con certratlon of three rilays teirmtalinn One hope remains to her Salome She retires behind the scene long enough tb shuck her ball costume When she comes back she Is as bare as out hold on I wont risK inaccuracy It may be that Satanella wears a film of skin tieht fer tile under her strings of beads though It aoesn Iook so and all I could discern in the way of fabric was flesh colored StllL a Brooklyn borough manager not before but after a week of monei making with one of the Salome dancers comes out with the extenuation that the woman was not truly bare in cool October as shs had been on a Broadway roof garden In warm August but had fooled the spectators of Beecherviile with a counterfeit of cuticle that even experts In the front seats accepted as genuine 1 wont assert that Satanella nudity Is real Indeed when I consider what orty to Ifty creasing fatting and blem ishinv years have done to her I am ready to believe that she Is tightly Incased from reck to hees Not to toes though for her feet are as bodly bare as her face and as ca fully painted Thus actually and de scriptively denuded Satanella dancs ds Salome not for the ghastly head of John the Baptist however but for the noldle that had Just sense enough to resst he as a devil as a merry widow waltzer and as a soul kisser but not as a Sa lome dancer Thus one may get 3 vaue by market qt otatlon or GO cents by going off

Indomitable spirit which characterized the contest of the civil war near its close but lacking the rumble and roar and the appeal to the sense of the sensational which is the feature of the majority of plavs with scenes placed in that time The Warrens of Virginia comes to the Belasco Theater for an engagement of one week beginning Monday evening November 16 The Warrens of Virginia is the Belasco success which recently left New York where It had remained for more than season Written by William de Mille the son of Henry de MlUe during his lifetime the collaborator with David Belasco in the writing of a number of successful dramas Its story Is that of a Southern family whose most Important members dramatically are Gen Buck Warren tic father and Agatha the eldest daughter The denouement of Agathas romance with young Lieut Burton of the Federal army provides a plot of exceptional strength and produces a series of thrilling incidents and situations In which vthe whole family Is Involved i The leading role are in the hands of Frank Keenan and Miss Charlotte Walker respectively As Gen Buck Warren Mr Keenan Is said to appear to even greater advantage than he did as Jack Ranee the sheriff in The Girl of the Golden West a piece of character portraiture that brought him wide praise Miss Walkers Agatha Warren is another delightful likeness of attractive Southern womanhood a type she has made all her own Besides Mr Keenan and Miss Walker the companv includes such well known players as Miss Emma Dunn Will lam McVay Mrs Charles Craig Waldron Gilmore Scott Ralph Kellerd and several others Chases The Love Waltz Chases next week will submit a notable collection of vaudeville novelties the list being led by the spectacular musical attraction Lakys Viinnese production The

this country attained a vogue scarcely Inferior to that of The Merry Widow Indeed The Lqve Waltz is called The Merry Widow of Vaudeville It has a large and distinguished cast of principals Including Ben Mulvcy Harry Smith Celia Valerius and Bert Harris The libretto Is by Paul West the lyrics byasky himself and the muslo by Charles Berton The supplementary leadmgNaJlration will be Kelly and

Up a Little Closer Lovey Mine the beautiful sentimental song in the first act on the auditor has been proven most conclusively No one can explain it yet every one feels a strange grip around his
