[ee THE WORLD: WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBEK 27, 1901, ~ “GYPSY JACK”’ GOOD FOR JADED METROPOLITAN THEATREGOERS. The “T’oid Av'noo” Has Its Speculators Just Like Dear Old Broadway, the Hero Has a Wonderful Left \y Hook, the Stage Looks Like an Ama. teur Morgue and Childrenin Arms Are Not Admitted— What & More Do You Want? Being bored by a succession of Broad- way first nights, we went to the first performance of “Gypsy Jack" at the Third Avenue Theatre. At the conclu- sion of the performance we hurried to the palatial thirst parlor of Col. P. J. Cody and took three drinks tn rapid suc- ceasion. Far be it from us to say that the per- formance drove us to drink. We en- Joyed ourselves hugely. first act, and when the play ended the stage looked Iike an amateur morgue. Feeling that the sight of such carnage entitled us to @ drink, we took It. . “Gypsy Jack" 1s a typical English melodrama. At the Third Avenue Thea- tre it was staged by that veteran bul- wark of melodrama, Scott Marble. We are bound to say that It Is a vehicle for is the exploitation of at least one novelty. ‘Thts was an Irish comedian who played | on an instrument of torture called an ocarina, tf we mistake not. We had not heard wind blown through this thing \ before by other than a German come- | dian, ang we would have forgiven the Irish comedian because of his breaking down of tradition but for his next act. A He Played “The Patms.” Reachtng under the talls of his coat he @rew forth a cornet and on this he Played ‘The Palm: It was with dim- culty that we were restrained from pro- Jeoting ourselves at the stage and add- ing the Irish comedian to the already Jong list of dead ones in the piece. With the sincere hope that some day he will inadvertently swallow the oca- rina and suffer great physical agony, we will resume our recital concerning the Third Avenue Theatre and “Gypsy Jack." ‘The house {s up-to-date in every par- ticular, even to the speculators on the sidewalk. To us {t was somewhat amaz- ing to see these persons offering seats for 8&5 cents. They had diagrams of the house and took themselves seriously. They also took the money of their vic- tims with @ piratical abandon that was Just like dear old Broadway. On the programme of the house ap- pears a list of the names of the execu- tive staff, from the manager, Martin J. down to the janitor, Louls Stein in all. There also appears this announcement “Children in arms not admitted to this theatre, as they annoy the audience and delay the performance.” Deserves Gold Medals. For having the nerve to make thin rule Mr, Dixon deserves two or three gold medals, Next to some actors we have \ seen, we know of nothing more objec- Uonable In the theatre than a child In arms. If all the plays that Mr. Dixon pre- sents are as replete with slaughter as tx “Gypsy Jack,” the rule x a good thing for the children as well as for the audl- ences. Such a play In calculated to make a ‘Jack the Ripper” of an tmpression- infant. y Jack" has two villains. They the usual villains of the English melodrama—the elderly lawyer and his plotting to obtain the fortune of ed nobleman, We have seen n good many stage vil- Jains in our tlme, but we must say in all sincerity that we never saw such regu lar downright devils as those at the Third Avenue Theatre, When thelr fn- ish waz handed to them In the last act we felt lke giving vent to applause, even at the risk of violating the most rigid rule governing the conduct of deadheads. ‘The aged nobleman in this play 1s the father of Gypsy Jack. In his youth the aged nobleman married a Gypsy sir. Three square meals and a bath every day proved too much for her proud spirit. Hied Back to the Wood: “Back to the woods,” sald she. Bulting the action to the word, she re- treated to the interior of the forest. There she gave birth to a male chee-Id, after which she died. Before her demise she confided to her mother her marriage certificate, her wed- ding ring and the certificate of the birth of the chee-tld. } Gypsy Jack {s the chee-lld. He grows up free and untrammelled, and at the opening of the play he is discovered wearlng a red necktie. He ts in the library of the house of his unknown father, Bir John Dexter, Two huscky gamekeepers have arreated him for killing a hare in the Dexter game preserves. ‘The head gamekeepe makes his ter- { rible accusation in a Second avenue dla- lect. Sir John fines Gypsy Jack ten shillings, despite the statement of the young man that he killed the hare in order to make noup for a dying woman. Gypsy Jack knocks down the game- keepers, grabs the deceased hare and leaps through a window. Like Mother, Like Som Following tho maternal exampl saves from the vengeance of a mob of Gypsies Nan, a Gypsy girl, in a red cloak and a ‘haunted expression. ‘The Gypsies accuse her of immorality, but Jack persuades them to postpone the stone-throwing, All retire but the gyurl.

Then he chokes her to death in an easy and graceful manner ‘and steals from her lifeless body the wedding ring and marriage certificate. ‘In the struggle he loses a sleaye button, + which Ja later found clasped in the hand of the dead girl. Jack discovers the body and gives the alarm. People come from miles around, among them Sir John.

Never in our experience have we seen a woman dle like she did. Her last action is to tell Jack the se- cret of his birth and hand him the docu- mentary evidence. All of this occurs in the first act. In the succeeding three acts the villains make strenuous but Ineffective attempts to take the life of Jack, who has claimed his Inheritance. How they are folled at lant must be seen to be appreciated. ‘The company is capable. Mr. Frank Rolleston, who plays Gypsy Jack, Is quite an actor. He has a left hook that would make hia fortune in the prize- ring.
