, A extremely skilful and beautiful, AD OF 02 COMES TO TOWN * Incidentally He Makes His De- but in a New Playhouse on Central Park Circle Known as“‘The Majestic.” MERRIMENT IS A BIT SAD. * Montgomery and Stone Are the Chief Men Performers, Alded by Little Anna Laughlin and Grace Kim- ball. Whether the Majestic Theatre !s un- comfortably uptogrn depends entirely on the point of view. A Tottenviile, 8. I., young man escorting a Fordham girl to the theatre would probably find it @ heppy medium. Anyhow, it has flung the torch of en- Nghtened gayety nearly a mile further toward the Connecticut frontier, and Planted the first outpost of clvilina- don in that former mhelstrom of bdi- cycles and more recent rotuada of beer signs which is really one of the very / finest sites in New York. Having more elbow-room than its downtown rivals, the Majestic flares more bravely, and last night the Circle made the local habltant blink, blazing as it d!d like a jewelled fragment of Broadway tossed carelessly to the very brink of the wintry wilderness which is Gentral Park. Before you reached the door you were reminded that jt was a new theatre In @n untheatrical neighborhood, for the local habitant foregathered numerously to study and comment upon the “‘car- riage company” as tt plunged into the _ portals—Fifty-ninth street gaping at phenomenon which Broadway views with fine disdain. Inside, a handsome, roomy, span play house in green, with gold trimmings. Real green, you knuw. No new-fangled comproim'ses of art tones or pastel effects, but “geni-wine”* green that stares back at you boldly And won't be denied. The New Play Hanne. The gold in heavily decorative con- volutiéns of moulding. Two polished granite plilars support- {ng ithe proscenium arch, and above therh two immensely fat and chunky euplds, or cheruds or something equally Undressed. I'm not strong on interior decoratlon, but I do wish somebody would clothe those cherubs, if only in a coat of gold paint—anything to subdue the dasaling plaster-of-paris whiteness which makes thelr chunkiness the most aggressive thing in the house. Otherwise, comfortable seats, plenty of costly glitter, elevators to the upper Here, and pretiy nearly everything that thefmost éxacjing playgoer could think | apick-and- of.
