E. THE SUN. OCTOBER 20, 1903. NEW HUDSON THEATRE OPEN. KATE," THE NEW DAVIES COMEDY, A GREAT SUCCESS.

Beautiful Playhouse, Ethel Barrymore A Charming Star, and She Has a Role That Fits Her Like a Glove -Smooth Performance and Satisfied Audience. The cry is still they come--the new theatres. Another was opened last night. It 19 called the Hudson and is on Fortyfourth street between Broadway and Sixth avenue. It is managed by Mr.

Henry B. Harris. It is a beautiful playhouse, and, despite the fulminations of Dowie, it will not only be an ornament in this city of theatres, but it will achieve its artistic justification by presenting good plays well acted and, therefore, make itself more useful than some churches. Whether it was the proper tonal values of the decoration or the extremely comfortable chairs, coupled with the compelling sweep of the auditorium, certainly there was an atmosphere of "at home" seldom felt at the opening of a theatre, an atmosphere, let it be said in parenthesis, that even the formal playing of "The Star Spangled and the usual show of patriotics did not dispel. The piece selected for the opening was Kate," by Hubert Henry Davies.

Ethel Barrymore, under the management of Charles Frohman, who is to "furnish the attractions of the house," played the title role. She was charming, lending to Mr. Davies's neat, pretty little piece some- thing it appeared to but really did not possess -vraisemblance. author is not altogether unknown here. Mias De Wolfe exploited one of his she has benevolent soul.

Last season London saw Mrs. Gorringe's Necklace," de and also the present three-act comedy, which attained considerable It is built upon an improbable hypothesis: That a young man and young woman dione in a snug country house will avoid the momentous question of their names and stations. To be sure, Kate Curtis is a novelist, one who--like most of her tribe--writes problem novels before she knows what life and ite problems are. To be sure, Heath Desmond is a painter who has a pleasing address tinged with Irish brogue and a young man fond of telling fairy stories by way of flirting his way into the hearts of impressionable girls. It is, nevertheless, difficult to believe that the pair would abstain from finding out each other's names.

However, let us take it for granted. The audience did so last night and enjoyed itself immensely. Cousin Kate visits the Spencers at the very unpleasant time when Amy Spencer's marriage has been deferred for the very good reason that the young man, has left in a "huff." The first act is spent inmaking the facts of the case quite clear. So beautifully does the author do this that he "gives himself away, You can't see the prologue because of the play's conclusion! the undue youthful candor for the fun in Still, it is all done so frankly do that you pardon the second act. This takes place in an empty house where Kate to (what tempting name is hightame Kate playmakers!) has gone to fire; one is tempted to add- literally pushed there by the author so that he may bring her face to face with the man she met coming down in the train.

Oh, that was al explained in Act I. Kate has fallen inl love, cynical Kate. But she doesn't know the stranger is her cousin Amy's young man, and she has just advised a reconciliation! This little knotting of the lovers' loop is the one interesting point of the piece. She is discovered alone by the artist- any sane woman of 29 would have known that he was literally on his native pretty, comedy, the old, old comedy, in played. Bernard Shaw would say that the woman was the pursuer; the audience last night believed it was the man.

In either case it gave Mias Barrymore and Mr. Bruce McRae an admirable opportunity to display their skill at light, bright comedy. Both were extremely natural; he, a little suggestive to old playgoers of the younger Sothern in "Captain Letterblair" she, evoking faintly perhaps, yet none the less effectually, memories of her brilliant mother, Georgie Drew Barrymore. It WAS not until the thunderstorm (again Mr. Davies forced his hand) that Miss Barrymore seemed trifle artificial, a trifle 1111- steady in her note of pathos.

She was throughout too young for 29; 100 girlish for the bookish Kate Curtis. But her spontaneity, her genuine wit in the utterance of wit far less than her own, her personal charm, above all her cool naturalism, were so many blinders to the questions that perforce occurred to her audience. She enjoyed a positive triumph. And she deserved it. She also played the piano some bars from the "Magic Fire" music "Die Possibly there was intended some sort of recondite allusion to the tea kettle that later furnished the love motive.

Ah, these young folk! They even go back to the Tom Robertson comedy in 1903 to find an excuse for their gentle erotice. Gentle is the play, harmless and sentimental. Mr. Davies lets off a perfect girandole of epigrammatio fireworks in Act some quite clever, none quite new. It is only when he essays the serious that you feel the thin ice breaking, and you are much relieved to reach the firm earth in a playful allusion to man and woman and the rest of things aupernal.

Grant Stewart, as a conscientious curate, was, as usual, capital; Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, as A mother who hardly knew what to do, excellent. Beat rice Agnew was Amy, the girl who fourd her affinity--she acted the part exactly in the right key -and Harold Grau, a young man, undersized but brave. "Cousin Kate' WAS a SUCCESA, and will continue to be one for a long time. Miss Barrymore has a role that fits her like a glove.

Cecil Raleigh wrote "The Best of Friends," and Charles Frohman imported it for the American stage.

'Erminie' is good its kind. It has a genuinely funny book, and really infectious music. The audience of last evening liked all the old jokes and comic situations just as their forebears did, while the "Downy jail birds of a feather," lullaby and "Good Night" chorus repeated their earlier hits. As for Mr. Wilson's Cadeaux, it hadn't changed a hair.

It was just as young, just as buoyant, juet as grotesque and just 88 funny as ever. William Broderick, who was associated with Mr. Wilson in one previous revival of was an excellent Ravennes, acting with judgment and singing capably. Jennie Weathersby repeated her delightful caricature of the old Princess and was heartily applauded. Other members of the cast were Marguerite Sylva, A charming Erminie; Jessie Madge BartLessing a satisfactory Javotte: lett Davis as the Captain, Albert Parr, a good Eugene, and Signor Perugini, a satisfactory Chevalier.

The mounting of the operetta was excellent. Several unnecessary interpolations were made in the story, which is quite good enough without them, but the "stars" had to do their share of twinkling, even in small parta. ADA REHAN'S BROTHER DEAD. Actress Not Told Till After Performance of "Taming of the Shrew."

RICH SHOE MACHINERY VENTOR DEAD IN NEW PORT. Estate Supposed to Be Worth $25,000,000 -Much of It Expected to Go to Har- vard -His Numerous Inventions and His Many Gifts to His Divorced Wife. NEWPORT, R. Oct. McKay died shortly before noon to-day at his villa on Marine avenue, in this city, after an illness of more than a year.

His inventions revolutionized the boot and shoe industry of the world. They shut the doors of the little cobbler shops and opened up big factories run by machinery. Mr. McKay peddled the stock of his first corporation from door to door among his friends and acquaintances in the Berkshire town of Pittsfield, where he was 1821; among the cotton workers of Lowell and Lawrence, where he had managed machine shops and among the whaling population of New Bedford, and when the first dividend was declared the holders of these shares found themselves practically wealthy with assurance of still greater accumulations. Mr.

MoKay compelled every one who wore American made shoes to pay tribute to him. It was only a small tax, from half a cent to four cents a pair, but it enabled him to live in luxurious style, to give liberally to educational institutions and make princely gifts to friends. Mr. McKay's father was a cotton manufacturer, and when he died the twelveyear-old boy set himself to learning civil engineering and earned his first wages in that capacity on Western railroads and in Canada. He had a love for mechanics, and when less than 21 he built a machine shop in his native town, in which 100 men did all sorts of jobbing for paper and cotton mills.

Then he became treasurer and manager of the Lawrance Machine Company and began to learn and do all sorts of things for manufacturers, so that when the shoe sewing machine, made by Inventor L. R. Blake of Abington, failed to work, Mr. McKay was one practical man who foresaw its possibilities, bought the patent, put in some automatic device and changed the feeding apparatus until the machine did its work. Then Mr.

McKay took as a helpmate in his enterprise, Robert H. Mathews, a practical man with original ideas, and when the civil war came, Mr. McKay waS ready to offer the Government the making of army shoes by the machinery in his factories. Before the end of 1863 he had made contracts with nearly seventy Arms to whom he leased his sewing machines, and in a few years he became a millionaire. He formed the McKay Sewing Machine Association in 1878, and although there were several rivals, suits at law established the rights of his patents until they became the central power in one of the greatest monopolies in the world.

Companies multiplied and he got richer, not only in the sewing machine company, but with the McKay heeler, McKay nailing machine, McKay lasting machine, each with separate company, but all more or less ent wined. Mr. McKay had fine residences in Pitts. field, Cambridge, and Boston, a magnificent mansion in Washington, to which he took the young bride of his old age, Miss Treat, upon whom he lavished every luxury that money could purchase. When she had obtained a divorce from him, he kept on giving her $25,000 a year for spending money and sending her costly fruits and flowers, and when she married Baron Adolf von Bruening, he sent her a check of such munificence that it astonished every one.

Besides, he had given liberally to Harvard College, to his native town, to various institutions, and established a well equipped manual training school for colored children in Rhode Island. He also assisted in the education of several young women musically inclined, who, through his generosity have become well known in the world of music. Several years ago Mr. McKay decided to make Newport his home, and purchased a small place on Marine avenue. he had altered and enlarged, until, to-day, it is one of the show places of Newport.

Mr. McKay leaves a vast estate, it being estimated at $25,000,000, and has only two relatives to leave it to, Mrs. Dexter and Miss Catherine Dexter of Boston. It is understood that the bulk of his estate will go to Harvard University. Obituary Notes.

S. CANFIELD SUICIDE. Well Known Writer of Hunting Stories Kills Himself in a Chicago Sanitarium. The Grand Jury considered the newest revelations about Sam Parks, yesterday, with a view to finding an indictment for perjury against Parks, based on his testimony in his trial before Recorder Goff. Parks swore that he never met Josephus Plenty, who had testified that he got a check cashed for Parks at Lynch's saloon in Third avenue Bernard Lynch, who gave the money to Henry Farley for Parks in Parka's presence.

Farley, who denied having received the check, having given it to Parks, or that it was cashed for Parka's benefit, has now confessed and corroborated Plenty's story. So has Bernard Lynch, who is under indictment for perjury. Lynch will plead guilty on Wednesday in General Sessions, before Judge Foster, who is expected to suspend sentence. It is expected that an indictment will be found against Parks for perjury and handed to Judge Foster on that day. Lynch has told Assistant District Attorney Rand that after he went before the Grand Jury the first time and told his story he met Parke, Farley, another labor delegate and a lawyer retained Parks, and they together framed up a deal by which Lynch went to the District Attorney the next day and said he had been mistaken in his testimony of the day before.

He was again taken before the Grand Jury, which was asked to indict him for perJury. The Grand Jury was loath to do that, and wanted first to give him every chance. He was questioned over and over about the transaction in his saloon, but stuck to the story framed up by the conspirators, and the Grand Jury indicted him. An investigation is now being made by the Grand Jury, it is said, aimed at the other walking delegate. The District Attorney has been unable to get W.

E. D. Stokes to tell what he knows about bribe taking by walking delegates, Mr. Stokes, it is said, has admitted Rand that he gave up more than $50,000 to get his Ansonia apartment house built and has said that he really finally "owned" the walking delegate of every union which had men on the job In order to have his building completed Mr. Stokes had to get his material from New Jersey between 1 and 5 o'clock in the morning and secrete it in a place from which it was brought by the men at work on his building.

Mr. Stokes now says that he feels grateful at being that able he to is get not his going build- to ing completed at all, complain about any one, and that, in a way, he considers the mercenary walking delegates his friends, even though be had to buy them. Mr. Rand said yesterday that he considered Delegate Farley such a liar as to be unable to tell the truth even when he wants to, and that it will probably take a long time to corroborate the story he told in his confession about Parks. It was rumored in the Criminal Courts Building yesterday, but warmly denied, that W.

S. Devery, candidate for Mayor, has had a falling out with Parks. The story was that Tammany Hall now has Parks and his followers in its train, and that John J. Byrne, Devery's nephew and Parks's bondsman, is thinking about surrendering Parks and letting him get another bondsman. Devery said last night that CHICAGO, Oct.

S. Canfield, a well known writer and newspaper man, committed suicide last night at the West Side Sanitarium by cutting his throat with a razor. A Coroner's jury to-day returned the verdict that he came to his death by "committing suicide by cutting his throat with a razor while temporarily While at the sanitarium Mr. Canfield seemed to be laboring under the belief that he would not recover, and he repeatedly asked Dr. Mark M.

Thompson, the head of the institution: "Am I going to die?" Mr. Canfield had long been known as a writer and had a wide acquaintance in the world of letters. His hunting stories have appeared frequently in THE SUN and in many magazines. Canfield left Rapides parish, in Louisiana, when be was 20 years old and joined Capt. Lee Hall's Texas Rangers, and when he died was one of a halt dozen of that famous fighting force's survivors.

He was with Lee Hall when the notorious Mexican border thief and cattle rustler, Gonzales, was captured and half of his crew killed. Canfield WAR a Lieutenant in the Rangers and patrolled the Rio Grande country, from Painted Cave to Piedras Negras. He arrested and caused to be convicted more than 100 desperadoes who in the later made Texas the most feared spot in America. A shot from a Comanche Indian when Hall and his men were fighting them at Buffalo Gap in 1879 caught Canfield in the leg and incapacitated him for further field duty. Then he went to San Antonio, where he became a reporter.

Subsequently he was editor of the San Antonio Ea press, where he distinguished himself as one of the most fearless and forceful wrier in the State. He was merciless in his attacks on many of the politicians of the Star. State and several plote were hatched to kill him. About that time he made friends with Ben Thompson, the most desperate character the Western country ever produced. When the latter was killed in Ben Simms's vaudeville show house at San Antonio he had a record of having shot to death -nine men.

He was feared as no other man ever was feared in Texas.

In order that a political clique might get removed from Texas, Canfield in 1892 hind the offer of the place of sergeantat -arms of the National House of Representatives. He resigned his place in San Antonio to go to Washington, confident that he would be elected. But the best he got out of the campaign was the superintendency of the public document room.
