Robert R.

The opera is presented by Jesse L.

Lasky and is called "la the Bar. racks." It is a military operetta, as the name might Imply, with handsome hussars and winsome women, one of whom, the heroine, is an American beauty who wins a foreign prince (the tenor), who sings love songs sweetly as solos and ducts cleverly, with the heroine.

To the Broadway Theater, for laughing purposes only, "The Girl From Montmartre" came across the bridge or through tho tube from Manhattan, to fill a week's engagement after a successful run at the Criterion. "The Girl" Is a typical farce comedy, with musical Interpolations, and with but a slender framework of plot, which serves to Introduce catchy songs, graceful dances and ludicrous contretemps.

These keep the audience in continuous merriment. Those excellent artists, Richard Carle and Hattlo Williams, occupy the center of the stage, and the vehicle which has been provided for them serves well to show their versatility as humorists.

This can truly f-aid to be an eventful week at tho Theater, Baltimore, on Monday, February in.

Mies Florence Reed Is to have the leading role in this play, which will employ an unusually large company and of realization that, after all, there is a fine aesthetic response to be had occasionally from our more sober natures. The play was presented in Brooklyn for the first time last night at the Majestic Theatre, and while its difference from the usual run ot plays took the l.ouse somewhat by surprise at the outset, it commanded very respectful attention and unmistakably "grew" on the audience. If one imagines from billboards or other advertising media that a "Bird of Paradise" necessarily implies merely fine feathers in a spectacular way, one had better see the play and revise one's opinion. For Richard Walton Tully's play of Hawaii is both artistic and Rosary" at the Gotham last night, the curtain fell on one of the most decisive hits B. F.

Keith's East New York stock company has scored or is expected to score this season. There were many delightful features about the way Edward Rose's drama was interpreted and you did not have to let your imagination run away with you to think you were witnessing a Broadway production. The piece fits the Gotham borough at the Montauk Theater lust evening. This Chinese ploy, by George Hazelton and Benrimo, produced with fidelity in the Chinese manner, has. as well, the element of novelty for American playgoers, but when the first impression of strangeness has worn off tho play holds the close interest of its audience for the intrinsic merit of its story and the sincerity and beauty of Its lesson.

Veneration for one's ancestors, the rlemental trait of the Chinese, is the key to the narrative which, in turn, unfolds the passions of love, hate, revengo and Jealousy, the characters being animated by the same motives that are universal to all races. Primitive as are the methods of the Ftage in China and which in "Tho Yellow Jacket" are shown exactly as is the custom in the land of the poppy, the lack of scenery, ot properties, and of such Bcces3ories as are deemed requisite to a theatrical production elsewhere are not missed nearly as much as might be supposed. The chorus supplies the deficiencies of "lobster palaces of Parisian Montmartre to find that among the assets of the night he has accumulated a pretty girl, and from her presence in the house confusion and misunderstanding arise, and many "Frenchy" complications ensue. Of course, Miss Williams is tho girl. During the second act a skit cn the modern problem play, by J.

M. Barrie, is introduced, called "A Slice of Life," and this burlesque on melodrama is excellently played by Mr. Carle and Miss Williams as Mr. and Mrs. Hyphen-Brown, aided by a typical butler, Inti require a particularly eiaDoraie equipment of scenery and costumes.

The one hundred and fiftieth New York performance of "Little Women" will be given nt William A. Brady's Playhouse on Thursday evening of this week, with all the original members of the cast at then posts. At Willim A. Brady's Forty-elghtth street theater last evenin- there was a change in the cast supporting William Collier, in "Never Say Die." Miss Wvnant succeeding Miss Jessie Arnold. TmSTAGEfiBROAOl The scene is laid in Hawaii, and there is no act that brings the auditor across the water in a jiffy -to New York or Paris.

The foreign setting lends much to tho attractiveness of the production and one is impelled to recall at various as La Cigale. Mr. Collier's engagement! H. M. Hyndman, in his "Further Reminiscences." has the following acute and InlAPacMni, Pafaranpfi to RnmaP1 Show Orpht um.

Miss Anita Rothe as Gabrielle has humorous character part which she plays well. The choruses are large, tuneful 'and splendidly arrayed, and the dances are graceful, though at times almost too vigorous. The specialty dances by Joe Smith, Grace Beaumont, Ida Howe and Veola Harty were excellent, notably the gymnastic "Tango-Can-Can," in which MIsb Harty gives a wonderful exhibition of strength, combined with grace. Among the songs which linger are: "Don't Turn My Picture to the Wall," Like This" and the finale to the second act, "Myrella." The stage settings nre excellent, the orchestra enlarged and competent, and, altogether, the performance goes with a rhythmical swing which is most enjoyable.

"The Rosary" tells the story of a rich young man whose burning jealousy allows him to cast unjust suspicion on his wife. The problem is solved through the beneficent activity of Father Kelly, a wise parish priest.

James Kyrle McCurdy gave a vivid portrayal ot the priest and his refined Irish dialect was superb. The husband was delightfully rendered by Alfred Swenson and Mae Desmond gave sweetness and gentle emotion to the character of the accused wife. Monotonous situations were prevented by Mtus Evelyn Watson and Frank Fielder, whose light comedy gave versatility to the piece. BURLESQUES. provides It.

Del-phine," is transferred to the New Amsterdam Theater next Monday night, it. will mark tho one hundred and fiftieth performance ot that exceptionally popular play in New York, and on this occasion Mr. Ivan Caryll. the composer, will conduct the orchestra.

In order to allow sufficient time for dress and Ecenic rehearsals necessary for the production, John E. Kellerd will give no performances this week, and will open at the Garden Theater Monday night, Februry with an elaborte pro-duel ion of "Oedipuii Rex." The version of this much discussed Greek drama has been made by Mr. Kellerd.

stunted the natural growth of his mind and racked his intellect to fiddle-strings by his confoundly inappropriate diet? Why has Shaw no pathos? How is It he is destitute ot poesy? What makes his humor comparatively thin? Why do his dramas tend to petet out at their latter end? 1 say with all confidence and certitude: because his food Is not suitable to our damnable climate and his driuk does hira no good. In Sicily or Tasmania, at Santa Barbara. Capetown or Copiapo these vegetarian vagaries may De pardonable, though I shouid be sorry to try them on myself even there. But in England and In London, to say nothing of Ireland and Dublin, they are a sheer tempting of Providence to reduce a man to his lowest possible common denominator. Take Shaw now and feed him up for a season on fine flesh dishes artfully combined and carefully cooked, turn a highly skilled French chef on to him in every several Americans, in fact one of whom finds at a moment of human weakness, a "Bird of Paradise" in an Hawaiian girl, a girl in whoso veins runs the blood of royal ancestry in the brown race.

He marries her. At the same time his American girl friend, who ia traveling with him in a romote corner of this Hawaii, where paganism has yet to be uprooted by Anglo-Saxon civilization, finds a degraded specimen of man who lives with the Hawaiians as a beachcomber, yet who is material for regeneration. Here are furnished two motifs-one tragic, one inspiring but the deeper impress is made by th" story of the American who has taken the pagan girl as his bride, and who finally realizes that he has made a mistake. As a story it is a picturesque romance. As worked out to an extremely dramatic conclusion it is truly artistic, and an impressive production.

The play was originally presented in Argcles, and Mi Barriscale, who played the leading role of Luana, the "Bird of Paradise," in Los Angeles. toe sceuic artist and the plot is un-. folded with a directness and vigor that ii. almost seems would be impeded by more elaborate and intricate accomplishments of stage craft. The auditor is transferred to an altogether strange-environment and imagination is accorded lull play, with the result that to the otherwise incongrouous and unreal is imparted the semblance ot naturalness and cf reality.

This effect is largely heightened by the wholly admirable performance, the players entering upon their difficult task of representing the Chinese characters with Intelligence, moderation and skill. The flowery and stilted language of the characters is read with gracefulness and spirit. Where humor enters into the proceedings full value Is given to its meaning, but there is never exaggeration, that easily might make of a serious and most interesting novelty a ludicrous and grotesque invertion ot what "Tho Yellow Jacket" is meant to represent. it is difficult in the long cast of characters to single out those whose performances merit especial commendation, so thoroughly do all enter Into the spirit of llie production.

Miss Offer calmly took a dive and nearly drowned her announcer, who was standing too near the tank.

One Imagines that tho author, Richard Walton Tully, must have made a considerable ntucly of the religious and social customs of the Hawaiians and supervised the staging of his plav. There are numerous scenes and eituations In which are presented Hawaiian rites and dances, and there are strains of sweet music that carry a etrong appeal as the action progresses. Several of the scenic effects arc so striking that they elicited much applause from the audience last night.

pressive in elocution and somber in mien; Juliette Day as Moy Fah Loy (Plum Blossom), heroine ot the romance, is pretty, demure and dainty; Fanny Addison Pitt as See Noi, nurse cf Plum Blossom, acts with unction and humor, and Schuyler Ladd as the perfumed usurper of the throne of Wu Hoo Git, a thankless and difficult character with iinesse and poise. Thomas Jackson, as property man of the theater, plays a rharacter that is. perhaps, most appreciated by the majority of the audience ttnd that he makes rich in genuine humor. Signor Peruginl as the chorus likewise fulfills the Important functions alloted him with unction and grace. The costumes are colorful and tile atmosphere throughout is maintained with unerring accuracy.

"The Yellow Jacket" is, In Bhort, an offering that, aside from its unique character, has a literary quality and dramatic appeal that make it a distinct delight. The performance was as keenly relished by last evening's large audience at the Montauk as during its extended run in Manhattan. Tlenty of action and singing can be had at the Gayety Theater this week. C'ark's Runaway Girls are at this house and have for their leader John Burke. The show is a two-act musical travesty, "Tho Maid of Montezuma" and "The Diamond Palace." In both of these Burke is the chief funmaker and he is assisted by Billy C.

As a special feature the De Luxe" are shown and they were well received and made all the more interesting by the way Maud Dunn announced each picture.

As to his humour, Mercutio, whom Sliakspeare killed, as he himself confessed. In order to prevent Mercutio from killing him, would be a mere lay figure by the side of the irrepressible funsters Shaw should furnish forth for us.

His plays, too, would then work steadily up to a convincing and even delightful artistic close, unless he should think It well now and again to give us a code to his dramatic symphony worthy to rank with the fifth act of "The Merchant of Venice." But it is of no use talking. In this case "forcible feeding" is not legally admissible, and Shaw himself Is such a fanatic nn provender that I am convinced that If he could make sure of having Nebuchadnezzar his stomach, he would, like that potentate, go out to grass. The possibilities of Bernard Shaw, as meat-eater and alcoholist must therefore be left permanently to our imngnation for depictment, and their realization can only be achieved in his next what am I saying? vegetable Incarnation!

Academy Lecture. Wonderful moving pictures of herds of elk and of the single animal: lantern photographs of the magnificent region up around the Teton range and the Yellowstone Park; a thrilling "movie" of the getting of elks' teeth and the capture of the hunters by government officers; pathetic scenes showing the starving animals, so tamed by hunger that they look with human expression of entreaty at the man who walks among them, and then pictures of tho poor starved creatures as they lie dying in the deep snow, were shown In a Brooklyn Institute lecture last evening. It was given In the Academy of Music, by S. N. Leek, of Jackson, Wyoming.

Mr. Schoonhoven plended for the elk, that they be saved and not be permitted to die out as has almost been the case with the buffalo. Mr. Leek Is of the opinion that thit herds should be controlled end nol allowed to Increase beyond a limit which will permit of their proper feeding. They make excellent meat and could be put upon tho Wcflt.prn market, certainly, at comparatively little cost to the consumer.

They could probably also be brought to I ho Ksstern market as a reaonabl! priced meat. Thus t'cero would an output for the surplus numbers. Ther Is decided danger, however, that tho herds will diminish from another causn thnn hunger. And that la because tho strongest, finest males are being killed tn furnish just two of their teeth, to bp worn as ornaments. When the ttiflli hunters kill the magnificent nnlmals the)' leave them to rot, nfter withdrawing thu two teeth.

AN OLD FAVORITE Well Revived nt the Grand Opera House.

"The Still Alarm" received a warm welcome at the Grand Opera Houso last night. The favorlto melodrama was well acted throughout, and at no time did the Interest lag for a moment.
