of ot our young younger er actresses es perhaps the best of the nal actresses of ot the tho younger I generation and she certainly deserves a Ii better play than that which has been be en provided for the occasion of ot her promotion to stardom itis It Its is s 8 i called ailed The Deserters De erter and is 19 from tram the pen len of ot Robert Peyton Carter an ana ana ana a r boat beet remembered

ordinary y run ruJi of plays pl ys offered in Afu IK 11 priced houses but falling fir far short of the standard that ought to t be and in Intact fact usually is ls main maln maintained maintained

wanted wante for tor no graver offense than striking his superior officer The play is Ia 1 in construction o and betrays throughout t on the part of ot the authors authora the most lack of ot knowledge i r d f army and ud government etiquette and procedure Madge a member of ot the secret service accepts assignments u Ign Clod and rejects re thorn them at her own on sweet tall vill m and two army officers of high rank Tank seriously discuss their respective ability as liars the one who Is decided to be the most expert being chosen to deceive the detective as to the true object of ot her mission and we see her start on her quest with only the vague clue that he is said to have gone fur further further further ther west to guide guido her herIn herIn herIn In the second act wo we

and urges him to fly before it is i too lato late He refuses and she sho learns for the first time Ume the reel real nature of ot the charge chargo against him Then apparently ap apparently apparently having plenty of o leisure at ather ather ather her command she follows him back to Kansas and proceeds to undo all that she eho has done by proving him guiltless of ot the charge To this end eho she eon con conducts ducts a preposterous examination of ot the th officers of the post such an ex ox examination I as no detective ever over dreamed of ot or would be permitted to carry on if It she sho did with the surprising surprising ing result that another officer over overcome overcome overcome come by remorse although there thore is isDO no DO proof and very ery little suspicion against him dramatically admits the crime and is promptly assured by his commanding officer that the tho um stances are such that it will not go at I I r d da a V s sk si i sY I k Y i f fa x 9 a s 3 r re e i ia a

ot the grand opera field many were the conjectures as IiI to what he would do with his magnificent new Manhat Manhattan tan opera house The wily Oscar said nothing at the time but last week he showed us what he proposes to do in inthe Inthe inthe the future when he produced the tho best real comic opera New York has seen in many a season and staged it with an expense and lavishness s that has been undreamed of ot heretofore even evenin evenIn evenin in this age of ot expensive production productions It is called Hane the Flute Player and is from the German Nearly all the principals too have been import imported ed Sophie Brandt being almost the only native singer among them The opera almost deserves to rank as a grand opera and the music is charm charmIng charmIng charming Ing throughout The book was un undoubtedly undoubtedly Undoubtedly Inspired by the story of ot the rat catcher of ot Hamelin Great Run Abroad It has had a tremendous vogue abroad which will wUl be duplicated here but It is questionable if ft there are more than a half halt dozen stages In other cities clUes of ot the country capable of ot containing the production or auditoriums auditoriums auditoriums with seating capacity sufficient s to warrant the expense incurred in inputting Inputting Inputting putting it on the boards on the scale Hammerstein has attempted It forms torms a memorable event in opera circles here and marks perhaps a new era eraIn eraIn erain In the field of ot lighter musical m productions productions productions Denman Thompsons Return An interesting event of ot the week was the return to the metropolitan stage of ot the veteran vet ran actor Denman Thompson In The Old Homestead Perhaps his voice is not as strong as of ot yore and perchance there Is not quite as much
