Payton will be seen as Juliet In Romeo and Juliet. GYPSY JACK AT THE NOVELTY Lovers of melodrama have a rartreat In store, and no doubt the great TCn-gllsh melodrama "Gypsy Jack will meet with deserved patronage when It Is produced at the Novelty this week. "Gypsy Jack Is a departure from the ordl-snary, as In dealing with the peculiar people, the gypsies, it has given the author a field for the display of originality, of which he has taken advantage, and has worked the possibilities Into one of the most Interesting stage stories of recent date. Willis Granger will be seen In the star pait of Gypsy Jack. DON CAESAR DE BAZAN AT THE GOTHAM.

D'Ennerys romantic drama, Don Caesar de Bazan, will be given this week at the Gotham Theatre, when the Elite Stock Company will support Darrel Vinton In the title role. Although to-morrow afternoon he will essay the role of Don Caesar for the first time, he will do eo under the direction of a man who had the advantage of playing In the piece with the late Alexander Salvlnl for many years and has the business of the play at his finger tips Don Caesar Is the popular spendthrift of the romantic age. Victor Hugo found a place for him in his sombre tragedy of "Ruy Bias," and devoted one entire act to the doings of this devil-may-care hero. It Is a role that requires a wide range of dramatic ability, a nervous temperament and a knowledge of deftly handled light comedy. Caroline Frnnklyn will play the opposite role of Maritana, the Btreet sin' ger.

The full strength of the stock com MOTHS AT THE BIJOU. Mothers who have ambitious Ideas regarding the marriage of their daughters to foreigners with little else than their title to recommend them, would do well to pay a visit to the Bijou Theatre this week, and fee the Spooner Stock Companys production Of Moths, a dramatization of the popular novel of the same name by. Oulda. When the story first appeared It created a great deal of talk, for It was one of the first emphatic protests against the wedding of American girls to the effete nobility of Europe. In the stage version J.

Sydney Macy has clung closely to the novel. In every sense it Is a social drama, providing excellent parts for both of the Misses Spooner. The part bf Yera permits Mist Edna May to run the gamut of the emotions. Miss Cecil Spooner will be seen as Fuchsia Leach, an American girl, who goes title hunting on her own account, and while the pai does not bear directly on the plot, It provides the vivacious actress with lines and situations to which her work and personality are particularly well suited. Correze, the singer, will be played by Mr.

Phillips, and It Is a part for which he Is fitted eminently. Mr. Clarendon will be the contemptible Zou-roff, while to Mr. Kennedy falls the comedy role of Frank, Duke of Mull, Veras cousin, whom Fuchsia finally chooses for a husband. Mr.

Ransom will play Lord Bangor, an English diplomat, while Veras mother, Lady Dolly, will be portrayed by Miss Grove. The east Is particularly long, and will enlist otherwise every member of the Spooner company. All of the Beenes are laid in France, except the third act, which takes place In Russia, and for all new scenery has been prepared. Between acts there will be the usual divertissement by Mr. Thardo and others, while on Tuesday there will be the usukl tea and reception on the stage after the matinee.

THE RIVALS AT PAYTONS LEE AVENUE. Corse Payton will appear as Bob Acres In that old English comedy. "The Rivals. which he will produce at his Lee Avenue Theatre this week. The play is full of sparkling humor and funny situations.

Particular attention has been given to the costuming of the piece by Mr. Payton's company. Una Abell Brinker will be seer, as Lydia Languish, a fascinating young woman of romantic notions, who wishes In looking over the various farces which have flitted before the public gaze, an Impartial and unbiased. judgment would award a high place to McFad-dens Row of Flats. This frolicsome hodge-podge of the stage comes to the Grand Opera House this week.

In fame-oomedy colloquial, this farce goes the limit, and from what one sees nowadaye It la possible to get more amusement and laughter out of the Flats than from a- cycle, of plain, ordinary, every-day artistic comedians. Much of the fun depends upon the fun-makers, and a merrier WUnch than those who cavort the stage In the "Flats could not be plckedfj from any theatrical agency In the world. Bobble Ralston wll be there, and without question his friends will he there to overflowing to, greet him. Among the other favorites are Arthur Whltelaw and Harry Crandall, the two rival candidates foi alderman, playing McFadden and Bumgartner; Miss Mae Phelps, an exceedingly clever singer and dancer; Miss Mae Donohue, without a peer as a character actress; Jerry Sullivan, another Irresistibly funny little fellow, who, with Bebble Ralston, play the two mischievous Yellow Kids; the Exposition Fonr, Messrs. Patton, Brady, Alexander and Alexander, a refined and artistic musical quartet; W.

H. Mack, the tramp Humorist; Miss Llbble Hart and a host of pretty girls who can both sing and dance. The musical numbers and specialties scattered promiscuously throughout the action of the comedy are said to be bright andtpleaslng. THE OLD HOMESTEAD AT THE FOLLY. Denman Thompson and hlB quaint chronicle of life In the New Hampshire hills, The Old Homestead," will be the coming week's attraction at the Folly.

Time and the varying conditions of theatre life have not affected the popularity of this charming old Btory, for one never tires listening to the quaint sayings of the country folk and reveling In the reminiscences that the play a fiords. It Is no new, surprising nor intricate tale that Is unfolded, but the simple developments In the lives of simple people. For seventeen years the old classic has been before the public, and It still retains Its pristine power to please. Company and production are promised to be up to the h'gh standard that the organisation originally attained. The musical features, the double quartet of farmers and the grand choir In the Grace Church Beene are also said to be most efficient.

Of Denman Thompsons Impersonation of the Yankee farmer little need be said, he has been Identified with Joshua Whitcomb so long that a thought of one must include the other. The engagement begins with the Monday matinee and Is for one week only. CAMILLE ATTHE COLUMBIA. Alexander Dumas, one of the greatest philosophers In the French school of the drama, has given to the world a wonderful story of the tragic fatality In the story of Camille, a woman whose environment was that of the deml-mcnde world, and who was known as the lady of camllllas, she always appearing ornamented with this delicate flower, which, in its frailty, was so suggestive of herself. Sarah Bernhardt was the first actress to Interpret the pitiful life of Camille, and she made of It the moral lesson which Dumas had Intended it.

'Any glamour that might be attached to such a life In the eyes of a young woman Is. at once dispelled by the sight of the suffering, the humiliations, tlopelessness and the Inevitable end. There Is eternal sorrow, with but a doubttlil hour of joy. Marie Walnwrlght will 'interpret the character of Camille at the Columbia during the week. She will be supported by the Columbia Theatre stock company.

EAST LYNNE AT THE PARK. It Is a far step from the sprightly widow In Hoyts A Trip to Chinatown to the tearful, 'erring, jealous heroine In East Lynne, but that Is the Jump which Miss Laura Blggar has made, and In the latter play she will be seen this week at the Park, commencing Monday matinee. Miss Blggar Is well known to the public as an actress, but the recent notoriety she gained In the now famous' will contest makes her appearance In Brooklyn of added Interest. It Is also announced by the management of Miss' Blggar that T5 .4 Vaudeville's Most Imnrewiv Act. THU GIRL' WITH tub AIBCRY HAIR.

Thus it happens that there Is no need of house-bill notes or magic-lantern slides, or tableaux to carry the spectator hiatuses In the action. A person quite unacquainted with the source of the play can view "Soldiers of Fortune with ready understanding of what It Is all about a rare event In dramas made over from books. Mr.

Dundy, is a son of the late United States Clicuit Court Judge, James Dundy, of Omaha, Neb. A BIT OF OWN at Coney Island, New York's water portals to the world, has arisen during the long rold months of winter a realm of fairy romance which has been christened Luna Park. It Is something altogether different from anything that New Yofk has ever seen before. This beautiful Luna Park, where New JTork Worlds Fair will be held this summer, Is already a glimmering city of white and gold, and an army of artisans, nearly two thousand strong, Is hard at work Ip preparation for the opening, May 2. In past years It has only been the gaudy and flimsy tjiat have been erected for the entertainment of summer visitors.

Two weeks would be a long time to spend on any of what were then termed "big structures, but now things hav. changed, and the best and most spectacular are the ideals of the amusement promoters, ii who, with a trip to the moon, first came to Coney Island a year ago and revolu-ttoned the amusement ideas to such an extent that Instead of a single show these men, Frederic Thompson and Elmer S. Dundy, have created an entire city of laughter.
