Gallant, natty Mttle “Algy’ helped along “My Lady Molly,” at Daly's last night. What “Algy?” Why, there's only one, Vesta Tilley’s, of course. Like a great many otherladies, “Lady Molly” was a trifle slow, Just about the time a sneaking suspicion of this settled {nto a conviction, “Algy” was trotted out and gave “Lady Molly” the biggest lift of the evening. Miss ‘Tilley had sung two other characteristic songs, abruptly interpo- lated. One was about love not waiting to knock, but walking right in and tak- ing a seat in the parlor; and the other was “Go Back to Work,” belleved to be ern life as “The Virginian” been seen along Broadway. And, oh! matinee girls, forawear your false gexis of the padded shoulder and the céld, gray droop of the morning- after eye, and henceforth worship at the shrine of Dustin Farnum, as aplen- @id a specimen of physical manhood as ever came east ot the Mississippi River and as fine an actor as ever went west of it. Perhaps there is no such person a Dustin Farnum, and the Virginian presented Inst night at the Man- hattan Theatre {s by some hyp- notice power of the book's author com- pelled sto leave his firm cloth covers and nightly masquerade for the bene- fit of Yew York theatre-goers, However this may fbe, in the Vir- gwinla cowboy's life, fram his rescue of the little schoolma'am heroine 97) his mischievous mixing up of tne bables in the first act,* through his herole participation in the lynching of his former felend, hunted to the cattle-stealers’ mountain den, and his final shooting of the villain, every- thing became him but the ending of It. Surely the author. might have devised @ better reward ‘or so much heroism than the hand of the hopelessly inane heroine, as presented by Miss Agnes Ardeck, Indeed, the lack of feminine talent in the entire cast made one think that the play might have had a better pro- duction if Adam had been left his original quota of ribs, But if comparison must be made it is fair to say that Mrs, Hewle (Mattie arl), the mother of the twins, made the most of her role. The men of the supporting cast are uniformly excellent, and in his suc ful presentation of cowboy charac ter Guy Bates Post, who plays Steve, the Virginian's friend, whom the villain ‘Trampas lures to dishonor, and the cut- tle thief's death, is second only to the star. Trampas, played by Frank Cam- peau, was so realistte and convincing f@ villain that even a Broadway audience might be pardoned for hissing him, and indeed all the cowboy parts were ex- ceedingly well handled, The management probably knows at- ready that the introductory portion of the first act drags and that there would be less chance of having the impres- sive silences of the many emotional mo- ments of the play spolled by coughs and wheezes produced by the prevalent influenza, as happened last night, if the audi were provided with ‘throat lozenges or other cough drops.

Then came calls for “Algy,"” and “Algy” came, after Miss Tilley had made deprecatory but useless gestures at her white silk knickerbockers, in plea that she couldn't look the part.
