AMUSEMENTS “Fashions for Men.” The presentation at the Shubert Garrick Theater last night exceeded even the confident hopes of theé bril- liant audience attracted by the pre- liminary announcements. There was in the atmosphere a suggestion of. delicatessen drama, even though the story deals more with drygoods than with edible dainties. The imported flavor soon ceased to be conspicuous, | as the play, entitled for some reason known the management “Fashions for Men,” progressed. Human nature is the same the world over and when derstood in terms of “Paula” and “Adolph” of Budapest as in terms of “Miss Jones” or “Mr. Brown” of Cin- atl or Chicago. reached the little theater 1 Just street, after a long| the Hungarian author, Molnar, estab- | lished itself in European vogue' as expression worthy of the light- me tancy of the author of “The Devil,” so well known in America, {but in an entirely different key. It is a study of the shopkeeper from the viewpoint of the poet. The sentl- mentalist engaged in buying a stock as cheap as possible and selling it as dear as possible is an audacious ex- periment as the toplc of delicate comedy and refined romance. The au- thor, whose craftsmanship shows a more mature security than in “The Devil,” avoids allowing his story to drift into a fantastic frivolity.” He places the sentimentalist in trade pre- cisely where he is likely to land in the course of human events—in bank- ruptcy, from which he is rescued by the practical sense of a devoted girl. The play has a delicate human sense and refuses to sacrifice the spirit of gentle human sympathy to the sar- donic suggestions which afford a con- | stant play of piquancy. An ‘unusually competent translation rendered the task of the players less difficult than it would have been had the change from language to language | been the ordinary lexiconic affair. The dialogue is rendered by Mr. Benjamin Glazer into fluent and natural Eng- lish, and the fact that Mr. Glazér stages the play seems to account for the absence of those blundering in- trusions of incongruous emphasis so characteristic of the so-called “di- rector.” In spite of the fact that enough names are programed to suggest the roll call of a regiment, the real re- sponsibilities rest with only four peo- ple. The stage settings and furnish- ings are hardly elaborate enough to call for the obsequious punctilio in giving credit; although the open- sky background of the second act setting presents a strikingly artistic effect. The four people are the lov- able shop-keeper, played by O. P. Heggle: his beautiful clerk, played by Miss Gahagan; the elderly count, who | fails in love with her, and the sales- man who breaks up the home and the business, played by Mr. Silvernail. The st mentloned is not so importantly ted to the plot as the other three, but he asserts himself by his vivacious interpretation of the modern motto, “Sulesmanship above all else!” To_ tell the story of this clumsily titled play would require much space. The narrative is even and natural, seeking no_ violent climax nor stress of artificlal tirade. The characters are mental rather than physical {types. The interchange of thought is imore interesting_ than vehemence of {volce or ostentation of gesture. The ,dialoguc is an unremitting play of {alert intelligence: an intelligence al- waysy measured accurately by the status of the character who speakes. So facile is the phrasing that even the humble pun is given its innings when the count, referring to the association of the impression of wealth with that of years, remarks: “Not.all is old that glitters.” If the pun_ was re- nted it was abundantly atoned for| the exquisite literary finesse dis- pleyed in the scene in which the count, in love with the beautiful sales- lady and typist, dictates a political | speech and contrives, as he does 8o, to convey by chivalrous innuendo the {deep affection which he places unre- jservedly at her command. The play !is an unimpeded flow of humor with- out buffoonery and sentiment without mawkishness, P NOTES OF THE PLAY. The audience was large and the en- thusiasm made it seem even larger than it was.

Many curtain calls demonatrated ophle’s hold on vaudeville patroms. tte Rugel shared honors with Mies Tucker, but along entirely dif- ferent lines. Her voice is unusually sweet and of the grand opera range, but instead of singing grand opera classics. Miss Rugel won the favor of her hearers with popular songs of long pgo and then demonstrated how they had been turned into hits of the present day with slight alterations. Her recalls were many and insistent. ‘The comedy hit of the evening was made by Gordon Dooley and Martha Morton, the former an _eccentric dancer and tumbler, and the latter, also a good dancer, in pretty cos- tumes. Bobby McLea ‘champion ice skater of the world,” has a unique act, showing at first how he raced in eden and then giving exhibitions with ice skates on a prepared su fate. The pep put into-the act ads to its attractiveness. e—Cevenes, three women and two men, open the program with a clever wire act; Zuhn and Dreis won applause with a talk- ing act, Collins and Hart gave their old tumbling turn, Rockwell and Fox had a lot of nonsense that scored, and the usual house attractions completed the bill. An organ recital is given in the lounge a half hour before each performance by Prof. Bishop, and many listened to the music while waiting their friends. COSMO0S—“Oh, You Sheik!” Occasionally the attractions in the Cosmos Theater bill rise up above the popular vaudeville level and bring the originality and charm of big time with them. This week's bill is such ing. The headliher, “Oh, You is handsomely mounted and it introduces gne or two pretty songs, pleasing dancing by the Berg sisters and laughable comedy by Clay Crouch, the comedian in black- face. It is good for a hearty laugh. The Four Miners from the nearby coal flelds have surprisingly good voices that blend in new and beauti- ful harmony songs, and Zelda Sant- ley, the singing comedienne, is orig- inal in her methods, has a pleasing voice and acts her songs with excel- ger. 0 Me” is a.gem of the; GAYETY—"“Al Reeves’ Show.” The Reeves’ show this year has a cast of performers quite new: to the patrons of the Gayety Theater, but they lost very little time last night in making themselves acquainted and popular. The show itself is fairly good entertalnment, being. arranged in such a manner that it gradually works the audience into astate of en- thuslasm, reaching a climax with the specialty offered by Edi M and then it goes “flo comes on with his long. ter that may have been amnslnf at one time—but that was long, long ago. His chlef slogan, however, has been adopted by the European frien of Uncle Sam—*"Glve Me Cred! The honors of the show belong, be- yond question, to Edith Murray, whose songs and dances brought round after round of applause until she had to stop owing to the lack of songs. Hilda Giles is a lively soubrette with a pleasing personality. Her songs were well received, her specialty with George Ward making one of the hits of the show. Eleanor Marshall and Ada Lum complete the feminine cast. George Ward and Lee Hickman.are the comedians and their work as a whole was good, although some of their material is a little. moss-grown. A trio composed of the Marks brot! ers, Lew and Bert, and Nick Vitale, provide the harmonizing usually Jooked for in a burlesque production. Arthur Putnam is a good straight man.

It was a pleasure to see the excep- tional talents of Edwin Nicander on display in a genuine play instead of in foolish farces. Among the interested observers was Robert Campbell, son of the famous old playwright, Bartley Campbell, who was acting as scout with a view to New York bookings. Helen Gahagan, who s regarded as the newest edition of Ethel rry- more, appears “by arrangement” with W. A. Brady. She is one of the re- cent discoveries and one of the most promising. One of several ver impersonations i of minor roles was that of Frank Peters as the cynical old clerk who has spent a large part of his life trying to get away from the store early enough to see the swans come on in Lohengrin. There was no entr’acte music and the walts between curtains seemed longer than they should have been. The risk of inappropriate music was, however, avoided, and most of the current music is inappropriate to an artistic performance. Symphony at Central High School. The New York Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Walter Damrosch conductor, gave the second of its series of evening concerts under the auspices of the ‘Washington Society of the Fine Arts last night in the Central High School auditorium to an audlence which filled every seat. The program comprised “Rio d'Ys Overture,” by Lalo; Beethoven's “Symphony No. in F,” Liadow’s “Symphonic Picture From the Apoc- alypse” and Liszt's “Hungarian Rhap- sody No. 1 in F. ‘The overture had been played here last winter and. did not receive the introductory comments which is cus- tomary at these conoerts, but this dis- -| tinction was accorded to the Beethoven symphony in all the fuller measure. The whimsical and individual eighth blends itself particularly well to Mr. Damrosch’s graceful and engaging manner of exposition, and the audi- ence entered fully into the humor of the tick-tock of the metronone In the allegretto, which the clarinets and horns can_ never play delicately eaough, and the obstreperous boo of the ‘“ sharp In the finale. One is tempted to. belleve from the. demon- strations of the hearers that they enjoyed what Mr. Damrosch to way and to play on the plano even more than the complete performance of the orchestra. - ° Liadow's symphony picture of the great apocalyptic eagle crying with u great volce seems likely to be a welcome addition to our orchestral repertoire, and one wonders- why it has not been played here before. The thematic substance perhaps ' not striking, but there i3 a ousness and elevation about it which makes it well worth while.” Lisst’ lun- garian Rhapsody” is picturesque, too, in its type and was heartily enjoyed.
