Central. . Blaney's new farce comedy, “A Hired Girl,” drew a crowded house last night at the Central and scored an immense hit. Nothing = funnier in the way of dia. logue and situations can be conceived and the performance is liberally inter- spersed with novel and clever ‘specialties. A number of talented people have been added to the company for the production, chief among whom 1s John Armstrong, who as Johanna Quinn convulsed the au- lence every time he appeared. Georgic Ceoper acted the part of Little Weiner, a German girl, with great piquancy. She also appeared as a tough girl and sang a new song, “Little Katie Rooney,” by Nick Browne. In. this she had.the as- sistance. of a boy and girl chorus. Both the singer and the song made a great hit, M. Dreyfus Kingston was particularly as U.

Onca more the Fischer Theater man- agement has dipped into the Weber & Fleld extravaganza burletta grab bag and drawn a souvenir prize in “Helter Skel- ter,” dialogue by *“Smith,” a name that might be sponsor for anything, the music by the late and very lamented Stromberg. A great audience packed the theater. last night and laughed at its well tried com- edy friends—Barney Bernard as Isadore Nosenstein, M. M. Dill as Mike Short- man and C. W.

Montague’s Cockatoo Circus pleased two large audiences at the Chutes Thea- ter yesterday. The white feathered birds displayed an intelligence almost human and performed many odd and amusing tricks. The Kobers gave a daring and graceful trapeze act; little Irene, a ver- satile child, sang a popular song and then proceeded to tie herself into seemingly inextricable knots, giving a good contor- tion exhibition, and Carroll and Nealey, black-face comedians, offered a passable knockabout act. John E. Rome and Mar- guerite Ferguson, presenting ““The Amor- ous Tramp,” Mae Tunison, the favorite soprano, and G. Herbert Mitchell, the New York baritone, changed their selec- tions and repeated their hits of last week. PRODUCTION AT.
