"Gay New York," which has been described as a "violent shock" In the direction of surprising features of fun and grandeur and which Is said to contain a most re freshing assortment of musical gems, is of foreign origin, being a liberal translation from a German work of fine celebrity with an unprecedented run in Berlin to Its credit. Of course it is but natural that the scenes and - Incidents of the wit. and humor should be given an American atmosphere, towards that end, the splendid organ isation employed in its presentation have been generously complimented.

And if you care for only a A ' good play so admirably played that it will give you an evening of thorough ; enjoyment you will pot be disappoint ed. In JThe Lion and the Mouse" Charles Klein,, -the author, has con structed a play of' exceptional ; . strength and unusual interest. He ' has taken a subject which cannot but keenly appeal to every American citl v sen the acquiring of wealth and Its accumulation In tho hands of a, few 0 men. This, Mr. Klein uses as a back ground for a love story which wins ;,-. and holds the onlooker's sympathy . and tie has driven home without any preaching or moralising the fact of (. the menace that lies. In the misuse of ( capital and the fearful effects It has upon those wtto misuse it and those "' who oppose Its misuse.

Mr., Harris has elected for the presentation of this piece an cep Uonally . fine" cast.

Henry-W,; Savage is making it- present.. tour, a notable "V.... in "Gay New York. ' . T ' one by reason of the unusual strength of the company, Its magnitude In numbers and the elaborate character of Its scenic and costume equipment. Jess Dandy Is at the head of the or ganization and his performance of Hans Wagner, the German alderman from "ZlBilpnatl." has been made generally familiar, Mr. Dandy hav ing played this part more than a thousand times. Pauline Guzman will play the role of "Mrs. Crocker," the flirtatious widow, and has already recorded suc cess In this character both in this country and In England. Jeannette Bagear, one of the best comediennes of the stage, returns this season to the role of "Sldonle." the French maid, which character she had played up to the time of her re tirement from the stage two seasons ago. Marie Welsh, Albertlne Bensen, Helena Delmore, George Lydecker, Henry Coots, J. Hayden-Clarendon and Wllmer Bentley are others who win be prominent in tne performance. DO DRAMATIZED NOVELS MAKE SUCCESSFUL PLAY8? A couple ot decades ago a promi nent critic on one of the New York papers wrote disparagingly of the attempt to dramatise popular novels. He claimed that the audience did not care to witness a play, knowing what the outcome would be, citing as In stances Dickens' "Bleak House," "Thou Shalt Not," and a few others that had not met with hearty ap proval from the public at the time, naming Oulda's "Moths," which had been given by Wallack's 8tock Com pany as the exception that proved the rule. His statement, however, did not deter the dramatists from fol lowing their own Inclinations, and be fore long several adaptations of cur rent literature were ' successfully launched snd on the increase. While many of these scored great success, It remained for Paul Kester's dramati sation of Charles Major's spirited mas terpiece. "When Khtghthood .Was in Flower," to relegate ail previous ones to the rear ranks. Immediately, up on Its first presentation at the ' Cri terion Theatre In New York, it scor ed an unprecedented success, the themeatmosphere' dialogue and sit uations moving In , perfect harmony,. ,.
