"'THE BUBBLE" AT SHUBERT Eva Tanguay Ill at Bushwick- Other Local Playbills. "Sinners" gives evidence of being the magnet in Brooklyn as it was in Manhattan, for it attracted the largest night crowd of season to Majestic Theatre fathe night. It was an enthusiastic crowd, too. There was no stint in the applause that was forthcoming for every bit of good acting.

"Sinners" is a unique play, but it drives home its lesson well. From house fri the Red Light district of the Metropolis to singing hymns in a New Hampshire country home is a wide jump, but "Sinners" bridges the gap. Mary Horton, a good country girl, leaves her homo to seek her fortune in New York. unsuccessful and hardly knows where to turn. As she is on the verge of starvation she meets Hilda Newton, a her home town who hag gone wrong.

Hilda befriends Mary, something others high in the social scale had not done. She takes her in and time keeps from the conditions in which she is living. Her companions are not so charitable and one calloused old individual seeks to drag her down. He paints things 80 bright for her that she is about to yield to his blandishments when an acquaintance country arrives with the information that Mary's mother is dying, the sight of her can save her aged parent. Sho returns home and her mother improves.

The city friends in a few weeks, while on an auto trip, pay Mary a visit. She screenes their real life from her mother, who insists on their staying for tea. They even sing hymns at her request. However, Horace Worth, the youth who went to the city for Mary, thinking it is his "Christian duty" to reveal the true character of her guests, does so in no gentle fashion and almost kills' the old lady, Two of those in the party, however, do not return with the others. They are Hilda and Bob Merrick, who has only recently been attracted.

To make a long story short, Bob wing Mary and Hilda, who had been the doctor's sweetheart in by-. gone days, makes The curtain falls on the final scene with everyone satisfied. Helen Meinken handles the role of Mary Horton cleverly and Hayward Ginn is Bob Merrick, who has not gone 80 far wrong it is too late for him to reform. The part of Hilda Newton is taken by Maude Gilbert.

Florence Nash, as Polly Cary, and Frances McLeod, as Sadie, furnish the fun. The former in a friend of Illda's in the gay city life and her humor is of that while Sadie is a dry country girl and her witticisms are of a ditferent variety, but both took immensely. John C.

and "appreciate pl good theatrical atof Brooklyn know traction was demonstrated again last evening, when the Montauk Theatre was filled to overflowing. It was the occasion of the first performance in Brooklyn of "Grumpy." Horace Hodges and T. Wigney Percival's lightful play, which has had a long run in Manhattan, and prior to that time was the rage in the English capital. While the play itself is especially entertaining and interesting, the thing that pleases most is the capable work of Cyril Maude, the quaint English comedian, who interprets the part of Grumpy in the most realistic manner. The play has been variously described AS A comedy, drama and melodrama.

It is, as A matter fact, a combination of all three, withal, the story is SO akillfully constructed that it holds the undivided interest of the audience from the opening the final curtain. The plot has to do with detective work, not the stagey kind, but a human story, carrying the appeal in a most delightful little love theme, that during the whole movement the play is never lost sight of. "Grumpy's" is A retired criminal lawyer--has come to pass an evening with him while en route to London with a valuable stone worth 3 huge amount. He is the victim of a mysterious assault, and after a fight in the dark the stone is wrested from him. clue to his identity, "Grumpy" the robber, has left no discovers that at the time of the fight his nephew was wearing a camelia, wrapped with a hair from a girl's head.

That, too, is missing. Camelias are numerous "Grumpy's" house, but by of artful inquiries and clever deductions he manages to trace the house and thus to unravel the missing one to another guest in I mystery. At the same time, he recovers the diamond and saves his niece from becoming compromised by the gentlemanly intruder. The play is produced with all the detail and with the same competent cast that surrounded Mr. Maude last year at Wallack's Theatre, and this season at the Empire.

Herbert Marshall. as the nephew, is a capable actor. and his work stands out brilliantly, as also does that of Alexander Onslow, as Mr. Jarvis; Alexander vert. as Isaac Wolf, and Miss Elsie MacKay, A8 Virginia Bullivant.

In the third act, Mr. Maude was repeatedly called before the curtain, but declined to make a speech. There will be a matinee to-day, and the regular, afternoon performance on Wednesday and Saturday: It is to be hoped that Manager Louis Werba will be able to continue the same high class shows at the Montauk that have characterized the attractions there thus far this season. Next Selwyn and company present the "Show which tells an intimate story of stage life. "The Bubble': at the Shubert.

An audience that crowded every section of Teller's Shubert Theatre last night gave Louis Mann in "The Bubble," a comedy drama, one of the heartiest receptions the famous actor has yet received. After each of the three acts, Mr. Mann was given four curtain calls and there was every evidence 'of the fact that "The is going to enjoy a week of success at the popular, Eastern District theatre. The play is one of excellence throughout. Humor la interwoven with heart throbs and pathos, and the interest of the audience is held from the moment the curtain rises to the close of the play.

The cast, which incidently is the same which played at over 200 performances at the Booth Theatre, Manhattan, last season, is quality all the way through, though perhaps lacking in quantity in comparison with other productions. There, are five people in the play. As Emilia Muller, Mme. Auguste Burmester did exceptionally' well. The -audience gave, her the liberal applause she deserved and in the second act particularly did she demonstrate her ability.

Miss Laura Walker, as Rose Muller, the daughter proved herself a favorite and did good work. Richard Graham, the reporter, played by George Wellington and Joseph Mahlen, played by Ivan R. Miller, are the other two talented members of the cast, giving the Shubert Theatre a holiday bill sure of attracting hundred of people. The story of the play centres around one Gustav Muller, an erratic German, who is the keeper of a delicatessen shop. He is happy and more than comfortable until mining stock proposition IN called to his attention by Banker Joseph Mahlen.

Soon feeling that has acquired riches in abundance, the store, the old home, the furniture and the surroundings become an eye sore to him 80 he arranges to move into an apartment in, the exclusive section of the city. He heeds not the warnings of the reporter that perchance his mining venture As a bubble. But, alas! the ticker tells" the story in a few words. He has lost his entire fortune and once again la satisfied to remain in the old delicatessen business -and the old home. The which occur, the many situations, the dialect and the setting make play one of most interesting seen in a long time.

"The Warrens" at Grand Opera. Very successful has been the series of Belasco plays shown by management of the Grand Opera House, "The Warrenn of Virginia," this week's attractive, proving a strong magnet. Large audiences yesterday saw the Grand Opera House Players gave a finished portrayal of this pretty Southern play. Interest 18 continuous, and hearty applause greeted the talented members of the stock company. "Tho Warrens of Virginia" a story of love and war, a conflict of duty and devotion during the days of the Civil War.

Lieut. Barton, UT. 8. a bright and hustling Northern officer, captures the affections of the daughter of Gen. Buck Warren, of the Southern army, and thereby forms the basis for the story as worked out by Mr.

de Mille. The action moves from the battlefield at Appomattox to the home of Gen. Warren. Warren' proves her loyalty to her Agatha Union lover by warning him of peril and saving his life. The old at last overhears A conversation and General gives his consent to Burton and his daughter being married.

The play is full of pleasant surprises and is wonderfully worked out. The members of the company are provided with roles Hitting their capabilities, and as a whole did good work. Dudley Ayres is Col. Warren and Enid May Jackson is Agatha Warren, and received much applause. Beautiful Isadore Martin, Clara Macklin, Florence Roberts.

Charles Schofield, William H. Elliott, William Evarts and the rest all did acceptable work. M. J. Briggs deserves special mention for his portrayal of the role of Lieut.

Barton. play. 19 well staged under tho direction Francis Kirk. "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine." For their farewell week the Crescent Players are presenting "The Trail of the I Lonesome Pine." John Luther Leng's book had 8 universal appeal, and the story has lost none of its charm in the dramatization. Dorothy Shoemaker as June has part that is well suited to her charming personality.

Her acting iy sincere and convincing and in her scence at the foot of the Lonesome Pine she presents a picture that will ho long remembered by her many admirers. The part of John Hale is well acted by Edward Everett Horton, but the best work in the play is done by Beatrice Moreland as Ole Hun. Hardly recognizable in her very effective make-up, this clever actress made her comparatively small part a vivid and finished portrayal. Faith Avery as Loretty Tolliver strengthened the agreeable impression made at her first appearance last week. The remainder of the company are well cast in minor roles.

Special music and scenery have been provided for this production, and the management has evidently spared no pains to make this week 0116 of the most interesting in the career of the Crescent Players. "The Sacrifice" at the Gotham. At the Gotham Theatre this week the MacCurdy Players are seen in Lem B. Parker's latest play, "The Sacrifice," which is seen for the first time in the East, having had its first production two weeks ago in Chicago, where great crowds were turned away each night. The incidents are taken from the eo M.

Frank case, but the play is non-sectarian. Eliminating the gruesome details and injecting vein of comedy, to relieve the tension, Mr. Parker has constructed an interesting drama, the scenes of which are laid around Marietta, and are arranged from actual photographs of incidents figuring 90 prominently in the Frank case. Rose Mary King, as Louise Frankel, made much of her part and moved the audience to tears by her emotional portrayal of the condemned man's wife. Edward Darney, as Leon Frankel, the, convicted murderer and the! mob's vengeance, was exceptionally good in.

the rather difficult role. Kate Woods Fiske, as Liza Ann Jenkins, colored servant; William Phelps, 88 Jasper Jenkins, and Margaret Armstrong, as Mrs. Murphy, a and witty Irish woman; furnished the comedy, and their work was high class. Claude Miller made a hit as the prosecuting attorney, while Leo Kennedy, as Father Donovan, and Herbert B. Chesley, as Rabbi Marcus, rounded out capable and well-balanced cast in the more important characters.

Those in the minor parts did their work well. The house was crowded and the indications are that the theatre will be filled to capacity for the rest of the week. Evelyn Nesbitt at the Orpheum. the Evelyn Nesbit with yesterday returned to Orpheum, Jack Clifford, and is offering a series of original songs and dances.
