(By Emory B. Calvert.) .
NEW YORK, N. Y Feb. 8. In this
waning season, waioh. JiJas been
filled with all soTS of half
baked affairs called musical comedies
and light operas, it is an unrelieved
pleasure to announce the opening of a.
real musical comedy with a genuine
star and a comedian who can" no more
help being funny than a sheep being
wooly.
This welcome visitor is "The Sun
shine Girl" and comes from the London
Gayety, where she has been dispelling
the dense fogs that have been hanging
o er London during the past year. The
sunshine girl in this instance is Miss
Julia Sanderson, the star.
The music of "The Sunshine Girl"
was written by Paul Rubens and the
book by Rubens and Cecil Raleigh. And
in this case both the book and the mu
sic proved eminently satisfactory. New
York audiences have long since given
up expecting to find anything in the
lines of a musical comedy to rouse
mirth, but "The Sunshine Girl" has
plenty of bright, witty lines of that
quiet, insinuating character that an
intelligent audience delights to hear.
nd the music was hauntingly tune
ful Little Miss Sanderson was the very
spirlt of it all. She sang sweetly,
danced with an airy grace, acted in
fine taste and never once gave the im
pression that she knew she was a star.
What an example this modest little
woman is to some of her musical star
sisters who flaunt themselves in the
faces of their audiences!
Then there was Joseph Cawthorne,
whose humor is as permeating as kero
sene. He brought the comedy up to its
highest pitch with his singing of "You
Can't Play Every Instrument in the
Orchestra."
There were a number of other songs
End they all scored hits. Among these

were "Ladies." "You and I." Nuts,"
'Tiny Touch." and "Take Me For."
Another feature of "The Sunshine
Girl" which rendered it so interest
ing was the chorus. A more beauti
ful assemblage of young women has
not been seen on a Broadway stage
In many a season.
As to the plot it was very good. The
"girl" is employed in "The Sunshine"
soap factory. Being very sweet, de
mure and beseeching the son of the
proprietor promptly falls in love with
her. If he marries within five years
he will be cut off from his inherit
ance. It is needless to say that he is
married within the five years, and he
f is not cut off.
"The Old Firm" opened at the Harris
theater on Monday night with William
Hawtrey. the sterling English actor as
the star.
The piece was designated on the pro
gram as "a whimsical comedy." It did
not prove to be half as whimsical as
the idea of those responsible for its
production, that idea being that Mr.
Hawtrey. himself could "put it over."
without any assistance whatever from
other members of the cast.
Mr. Hawtrey plays the role of a
lovable old crackbrain, who imagines
he is a second Faust and has sold
himself to powers of evil. There is no
one better able to extract from such
a role, its last ounce of worth than
Mr. Hawtrey and his personal perform
ance was applauded generously but it
is doubtful if he will be able to carry
the play to success unless some
changes are made in his support.
"The Old Firm," which was written
by Harry and Edward Paulton. has had
a hard time of it. It has been, hocked
about the play mats for eight or 10
years. It has been produced in this
country twice before, both here and in
Chicago. Its failure on both occasions
could be attributed to 111 luck rather
than to any essential demerits of the
piece. In London the circumstances
of its opening seemed to be more pro
pitious, and it enjoyed a successful, run
of over 200 nights.
The play treats of a dear old Inven
tor, a crackbrained old chap.- whose
lack of business ability has brought
him to ruin and rendered him unable
to enjoy the success which, at least
one Of his inventions, a remarkable
new dye. might have brought him. The
old fellow is driven to desperation. He
calls on the powers of darkness to
come to his relief. Hie appeal is
promptly answertd byx the appearance
of a weird old party whose general
lines suggest the devil.
This bewhiskered one is really the
head of a great corporation and he
takes over the inventor and his inven
tion. The old crackbrain is made com
fortable, ibut he awakens to the fact
that his household affairs are not co
iner on properly. , He appeals to his
friend, the devil, to assist. The former
helps him to get rid of his virago wife
and to secure the betrothal of his
daughter to a most eligible young man.
Then the old inventor realizes that the
bewhiskered one is not the devil at
all.
The story sounds very frail in the
telling, but th play is replete with
good lines, and There were more laughs
in it than in !a half dozen mediocre
musical comedies.
"Speaking t Father" is a one act
play by Georgp Ade. It opened for the
first time on any stage Monday at
Keith's Union Square and probably
demonstrated 'its right to top the bill.
It is written in Ade's best manner.
That Is to s4y it is about 26 minutes
Ado could conceive. Father Pickering,
being favorably disposed towards the
young man gives him ?5,00 to see
what he can do for himself in a busi
ness way. Swinger induces him to
make it $25,000. and. with this sum,
he buvs 3146.000 worth of stock in the

attraction as follows:

that name, played at the Auditorium

CRAWFORD, LAST TIME TONIGT.
The last performance of "The Deep

it have been loud in their praises, and
those who have not yet enjoyed the
great Mizner-Armstrong underworld
play, should not miss the golden oppor

small prices in no way indicate the ex

j "The play gratifylngly fulfilled the
promise that those who enjoyed Mrs.
Porter's bright romance ot the Lim
berlost would see a most faithful pre
sentation of its action and characters.
For Mr. Twomey does follow closely
; the story and its 'well known charac
ters, and the scenic artists have con
trived a remarkably accurate picture of
the scenes Mrs. Porter describes so in
teresting. The lumber camp in the
Limberlost. the heart of the swamp
and the home of Angel are shown
and tne players are to be commended
for their successful endeavor to por
tray the characters as delineated in the
novel rather than to Intrude original in
terpretations that might jar the concep
tion one derives from the author's
skilful sketching of these personali

not dare even attempt.
