vile appeal. An exceptional!;- able
. :? ? Martha Hedman, Wallace

"The -red Woman," at the
Thirty-ninth S'ree? Thea're. (?.ves MIsb
Kmily Rteven? on? of the finest acting
? unties whieh any actress has
had in seasons. Miss Stevens accepts
Her playiag in the part of Caroline
hn<!\s || a triumph. Miss Christine
Nornaa is a most effective foil it? a
contrasting character which is well
draara sad srell tetad, The play is not
without it:? theatrical touches, but its
dramatic appeal is undeniable. At the
. tht performance stands
us ths best achievement of the season.
"Mis. Boltay's Daughters," ?t the
< onedy, is a clever comedy and well
I aged. The persons with whom it
i ..... rver, are an unpleasant lot,
and Its subject matter makes it neces
-aiy. in Jaatict to the play, to recom?
mend it oi ly to those sophisticated
i hsatregeor? who do not care in the
least about the moral? of the charac?
ters whom they see on the ?tage.
"Young America," at the Gaiety, is
decidedly wholesome. It is s skilfully
devisad ?tory about a boy and his dog.
Percy H.lton, Otto Krueger, Peggy
'Aoo.1 and Jasper, the thinking ?Tog.
make up an excellent cast.
"Our Mrs. McChesney," at the Ly?
ceum, brings Kdna Ferher's engaging
character to the stage. I'nfortunately
the dramatization ha* been done with
little skill, and while ther? are amusing
?OBStatl and good ?trokes of character
drawing, the product is far from being
a gooil play. Ftht-1 Barrymor?, whote
charm and ability are unquestioned, is
not very well suited in her present
part an?! has appeared to much better
advantage.
"The Two Yirtues," at the Booth, en?
ables K. II. Bothers to remind the pub
l.c -.!iat he is a tiiunhed comedian. Mr.
Btttro'a comedy .s a bit taUv. but non?
