Foy came to the Alhambra last night in his tour of \fun making surrounded by a high lass company and banked in by a horus as is a chorus in looks grace, agility and voice, With such 2 medium of expression, “Mr, Ham: of Broadway” could be nothing f nd pleasing to the eye Foy has evidently not given any thought in his interpretation as to whether Hamlet is mad or feign ing madness, a moral hero or a physical coward, As far as poy is concerned, Mr. Hamlet is a joke and he makes the most of him on this basis, The plot hinges on the desire of a society woman to play Ophelia to the Hamlet of a professional actor The scene is in the usual hotel and the usual theatrical company is stranded, whence comes Mr, Joey Wheese, who is Foy, ready and will ing to play anything under the sun Mr. Wheese’s idea of Hamlet is rather vague in spots, Inaccurate in others, and altogether hysterically foolish In addition to Foy’s fun, there! are several specialties, catehy, well sung songs, pretty costumes and scenery to fit. All in all it's a good show for those who like laugh } ter.

In view of the fact that Liebler/} & Co. and the Shuberts are clos ly allted, it is rather odd to note that this week in this city a Lieb- ler attraction, Dustin Farnum, ts playing in opposition to a Shu bert attraction, Eddie Poy. The ex planation is doubtless that Farnum was booked early last spring, be fore the new alliance was formed Thus far no other Liebler attrac tions are developing, either at the Moore or at the Alhambra.
