other way to let you know all aU about the new things in new plays here than to take you jou oU slumming in them The Blue BlueHouse House HouSt and The Queen of or the Moulin Rouge are expositions of ot life beyond the lawful speed limit of ot New York and Paris and in The Pied Pled Piper the spotless town tawn n ot Hamelin has Its Ud melted off of by a hot old time of ot explosive explosIve explosive sive cussedness I attribute the lapse in morality to the temptation temptation temptation tion of at a pun The of the pun punster punster punster ster is bygone but who could take his pen in hand to write an extravaganza on the legend of ot the piper who was sled as they used to say of ot his mot garb in Hamelin without making him hm with booze as we say sayin sa saIn sayin in New York So the piper pours In three champagne quaffs of ot a 3 quart each taking breath between but not r during them Anyway it looked like that and the good of ot spoiling dramatic illusions by b discovering a atrick atrick atrick trick tankard that empties itself into the table I Before showing slums to you OU on two stages however I will wUl let DeWolf I Hopper and Henry E Dixey take you ou ouI by b the hands and lead you OU in all aU purity I through half of ot The Pled Pied Piper Pipe and andall andall all nIl of ot Mary Iary Janes Pa First then theno wo we o go with Hopper to the City of ot In Innocence Innocence Innocence This Is not a repetition of or the tale of ot the magician who ridded a Ger German GerI I i man town of Its Us rats by hiring luring them away with the music of his pipe and then thEm being refused payment as a ver vermin vermin vermin min exterminator charmed all aU the I children into a 3 mountain which closed them In forever for ver When tried in Phila delphia last season the play was called What Happened Then because Aus tin Strong undertook to gratify juve nile curiosity as to what became ot of the lot lost ones The rising curtain discloses Father Time big of ot beard wings and voice YO Ice speaking to romance poetry and song Bong He tells the symbolic wo women women men what befell the youngsters after I they followed the Pied Piper iper away He founded with them a city where the I music of ot his pipe would be potent pot nt to keep the Inhabitants absolutely moral unless until well never neer mind that now The point to gt Pit t Is that a woman enters into this Utopia in a bal loon and Introduces wine to the Pipe after atter three teetotal centuries His cu cumulated cumulated cumulated thirst is enormous and he passes quickly from sobriety through exhilaration to hilarity and you know how unctuous unc ous are DeWolf De Wolf Hoppers souses y The whimsical conceit in Father Tines Times charter of ot this town is that at atthe atthe atthe the end of ot each twentieth year ear ts t Piper shall mate te for marriage all the Inhabitants who have arrived at an ago agu agoto ag aguto to with a solemn proviso that they shall generate two children only Thus you see sec ee the population should be kept down to its primal number and purity Do you ou see any a ny flaw n the I scheme No more did the Piper He was surprised and annoyed when a Wife already the mother n oth r of ot one ore girl gave birth to twins twinsa a boy and a girl cirl girland and at the next ensuing pairing off the problem arises what to todo todo todo do with the superfluous B super pe twin girl Father Time will wUl destroy de troy the City of Innocence if I f his plan is s changed in any particular Just now the wicked wo vo woman woman man from the outer world alights from her balloon with an ugly man to whom she Is betrothed b and a handsome young man whom she aches to marry The native extra maiden and th the good looking traveling man instantly love each other That provides enough nough complication for tor a better libretto than has been written but the th tunes by Manuel fanuel Klein Kleina a brother of ot Charles the playwright and William the little actor who used to be with Hopper are When What That Happened Then was turned over to R H Burnside to be changed into The Pled Pied Piper Mar Marguerite Marguerite Marguerite Clark was held back awhile from a planned starring tour to enact instead the twin maiden who makes trouble In the City of ot Innocence for It was vas decided that the superfluous girl should be Just such an unsophisticated creature as nature and skill enable en ble Marguerite to embody This small must have worked hard lately tor for now she sho sings and dances much V fig a ar e q r t I i I i i W I I I i

be the Henry E Divey t nc the dominant Idol of New NewYork NewYork York Yort In i Adl Versatility is apt to be b an actor The pub publics lies pets generally are ar of ot invariable Inv personality They are arc firstly themselves and secondly the persons they the purport to be Dixey is one of the few fete who try tI tIto to hide themselves in n their roles rols and play them from the inside out I dont see gee ce any an other reason than that merit why he be a new composite of ot Sol Smith Smiths Russell John H Stoddard Stoddard dard and even Joseph Jospph Jefferson by means of Mary Janet Jane Janes Pa To begin with the play lilay pia is one that calloused New York frequenters of theatres dont care for which is a si sign slen n that the d ma majority majority jorty will like Uke it and neither Russell Russ u nor Stoddard ever made e a R dollar star sar starring starring ring in Broadway nor Jefferson as much as he hs dia d We Weare are so devilishly blase in that electrocuted thoroughfare Do you know kno that hat most plays pla s known names are aliases Edith Ellis wrote I Take This Man Ian to set forth the duty of a wife to keep the marriage e vow OW of ot which the phrase of that title is a part It acted last la was t summer obscurely as Portia Perkins and now It is re reI I christened Mary Janes Pa The story through these changes of ot names names has been that Hiram Perkins went away from his wife Portia leaving her herto herto herto to care for herself herselt and two children I that he came back six years later to toI I find her making a living with a village I newspaper ne per that he asked her for work and was offered the Job of cook and I housemaid that humbly and patiently he did his work and that at length I Portia although alth ough now loved by a worthy man take an easy divorce and marry again but reunited connubially with the father of her children Per Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps haps Mrs Ellis intended and surely expected that Portia would be the dominate character but Hiram as acted by Dixey beats her in the competition for audiences favor I Many plays of at late have had scenes in newspaper establishments they us usually usually try to show the workings of ota a big city journal at the time of ot going to press and almost always in the strain for dramatic effect they misrepresent the cool calm methodical work of ot pro professional professional journalists as a of loud excitement To my mind no noI newspaper exhibit has been put on the I stage with more truth than Portia Per Pere Perkins kins one room room In which her weakly weekly is made Portia ortia is writing at a plain desk in a corner one compositor is the type for the matter that plate the forms are nearly made up on a stone the cylinder press that goes by man m n power at the crank is ready to do the printing This is to tobe tobe tobe be a 3 crucial edition of t the paper The society news and personal p gossip are ar arall all in but they are aI of ot small account this week by b comparison with w th the ar title t th that will det for nom nomination nomination to the legislature by exposing him as a criminal Skinner has sought sot to buy off attack and threat threatened threatened threatened ened to foreclose the mortgage on her press Preston Prston the rival candidate to toi i Skinner and a wooer of Portia urges urges her to get out of the fight because he I fears she will be crushed In fn It She per persists peri i in doing what she knows is right So Preston not her h r enemy Skinner but her friend Preston pies the type of the potential article and steals some of ot the gear from the press Portia has been recommended strongly to the au audience audience audience by Mrs Ellis writing and Ann An Sutherlands acting and the feeling is IsaU all aU for her against both the inimical Skinner and the devoted Preston Who will help the woman to triumph over he her friend and her foe Why Hiram Perkins of ot course c urse This is the slays plays next to last act Dixey has cooked c and without any ado has won the love of little Mary MaryJane Jane and the bigger bigg Lucille without letting let letting letting ting them know he is their father ther has slowly got back some of ot his lost respect t and now he becomes the active hero by resetting the pied pled part of ot the Skinner article making up 1111 the form for a discarded hand press and so get getting getting getting ting out the journal Maybe Mabe I was interested in interested Ij teres ed particularly by b the reminder of or j boyhood work in a country newspaper n shop but I noted that the thc homely hu humor humor mor mar and pathos of Hiram Per Perkins Perkins Perkins kins were effectual too toot t The title of ot The Blue Mouse comes of the nickname me of ot a genuine young harlot while the namesake in The Queen of the Moulin Rouge is a coun coup yet contrasting presentations make the virtuous girl seem wantonly vicious while the really vicious one takes on a semblance of virtue The gist of ot The Blue Mouse is that the secretary tary of ot a railway president desir desirous desirous ous of promotion and knowing the erotic nature of ot the boss hires th the Blue Mouse a chorus girl courtesan to figure as his wife flirt with the president president dent and give herself herselt as the price of ot her pretended husbands lift to a higher po position position position The secretary and the president have wives to get jealous the chorus girl has patrons to get and the adjoining offices of the boss and the them em have an aggregate of five doors yet the play Is not from Paris Parts but from Berlin and I dont know but can fan fancy fanC fancy cy C that in the German performances it was nauseously nasty However Clyde Fitch wrote rot the ver version slon sion of ot The Blue Mouse for tor America and he seems to have determined not to clean the mouse at all of f her vermin sort of ot vice but 19 to save the creature from fI disgust by having her personated by b Mabel label Barrison Why Firstly be because cause Fitch requires a model on which to place his theatrical guises and sec see secondly secondly because Mabel has a Innocence Inn cence in looks and action Mabel was headlining In vaudeville vau eme with her husband Joseph Howard and I guess it took a rousing salary besides a law lawsuit lawsuit lawsuit suit over oer a broken contract to shift her Into the comedy especially as the Shu berts berth make a star of ot her Any Ani Anyway Aniway way there Mabel is playing a shame hame aJ shameless less wanton bedeviling the c railway president as his wife In his office receiving him and other men in her flat and all the while sincerely beg begging begging ging the secretary to be affectionate with her She declares that her tern tem temperament demands but the secretary take to it kindly and so when the president is with them she holds the th secretary up for tor kisses like a highwayman on with th a wayfarer Harry Hary Connor and Jameson Lee Finney adroit adroitly ly avoid offense as the two men but it itIs ItIs itis Is selection of o Mabel Barrison for the Blue Mouse and not any mod modI n of ot the thi matter that takes out Its flavor Of ut lewdness and renders it palatable to people who dont subject their theatrical viands to the pure food laws severe tests 0 K t The street t and nd
