-feads that his uni FOOT A AMES “ETT 6trong Scene Puts Pinero’s Laohrymose Lady on Her Damp but Eminently Respect: able Feet. FAVERSHAM DOES BEST i WORK OF HIS LIFE. Carlotta Nillson Gives an Ap- pealing Portrayal of Troubled Heroine, and Cast Through- out Is Good. Poor Letty! he wasn't strong. and she was all falone in the world, and she was so sensi. ‘Uve, and she did have such a hard time ‘of it in the luxuriously appointed Hud- on Theatre last night! Not satisfied with giving Letty four|' acts the worst of It, a cruel Arthur- ‘Wing-Pinero fate forced her to swallow ‘an epilogue—and in this case epilogue Is only another term for bitter pill. And to ‘think of the bitter pills Letty had al- ready swallowed! No wonder she had woulful indigestion! Both Letty and the audience might have been spared much of the firat three @ote—for it is not until the fourth act ‘that “Letty” gets down to real, interwat- pompelling business, Before that “Letcy" ‘warders woefully, so goes to pleces, In fact, that your hands ache for a literary ‘broom to sweep it together again. Mr, Pinero must have been all out of biue| ;), pencils tho day he wrote “Letty.” There's an immense amount of aimless talk in the play, At first it is more or dese amusing, but after a while it grows ‘wearisome, and you have quite made up your mind that "Letty" isn’t seriously ‘worth while, when up goes the ourtain en that very-much-alive fourth act! At firet there is a little birthday din- wner—or nearly a birthday dinner—for rake, Frit delightful as a funny little pho- tographer, with the lightest artiatic Imaginable, But, oh! The comic trony of fate Letty should be found, in that unneci epliogue, married to the er, while Letchmere dra, tn to die of consumption—Letty, who couldn't even look pleasant. cD. M168 BINDL vINS IN Florence Bindiey, in her "diamond Gress," danced and sang her way into favor at the American Theatre last) night in the title role of “The Street Singer,” scoring an immense personal hit in spite of the tedious delays and a narrowly averted panto resulting from & burned-out fuse entirely darkening the theatre, ‘The plece, which is by Hal Reid, is described as ‘a musical drama” and seems to be a collision between a melo- drama and @ musical comedy. It has & reversible plot, whioh is elther weep- ful or humorous, whichever way you @re inclined, It deals with the efforts of a ahow girl to rescue herself and father from the machinations of an aged millionaire, To do so #5e marries the old man and becomes the step- mother of the youth she truly loves. A Umely murder puts her in the widow class and clears the way (o happiness. The “diamond dress” is worn in the third act, when the singer appears to her father in @ vision, Real money waa used in this act, contributed by two enthusiasts in a box.

Back te the Root for Her. It’e back to the roof-top for Letty, and t's only to be expected hould grow dissy again when Letohmere tells er he's married—sort of ‘“semi-de- tached.” as the song in “The Girl from * May's” has it. Then in climbs the swinish employer of Letty and proposes to her on strictly business principles, Mandeville's his mame, and Arthur Playfair played him @o well that you felt an itching to get him by the collar and toss him into the street. In order that she may ride in her carriage in Bond street—Letch- mere's Bond street!—Letty accepts the loud, vulgar duffer, But in celebrating the betrothal that evening Mandeville raises such a low-down devil of a row in @ restaurant that Letty |s so dis- gusted and shocked she lets Letchmero, who is conveniently on hand—as heroes, good and bad, always are in plays—coax er to his rooms. And this brings vou, gentle patron of the vagrant drama, to that well- morth-waiting-for fourth act. Two of Letty’s feminine friends come with her. Stupid, you say, and you ourse them for the intrusion on what promises to be a dramatically good thing. They're all right in their place, but this isn't their place. Even though Julie Opp made the dress: rs as @istant amusing—aping as she does the manners of her betters—and Olive Oliver was nice and proper as an office asso- ciate of Letty—you yearred for them to be off, For they have your patience by exercising gues to the full limit of their sex, leav- ing lachrymose Letty nothing to do but sit still and look pale and pinched and heartsick, They Save the Day. Presently, however, they are gone, and William Faversham as Letchmere and Miss Carlotta Nilison as Letty re left to ut the play. They do both sniendidly, Letty has taken off her damp a” her feet into dry slippers, let lown her moist hair, and is altogether "comfy," while Letchme hei vhead with dreamy little the piaro and descripti soormerings the: ly paradise” all thei!

The Sale Will Start To-Morrow Morniny One of the biggest Go-Cart concerns in the East wired our Buyer to “come quick’’ last Saturday. He went, and found on the floor of their factory Two Hundred and, Ninety-two Go-Carts—the finest and prettiest in all this wide, wide world, They represented every Cart the concern had in hand, after a season that has marked the doubling of their business, We were asked to put our own worth on these Carts, which we did—and they are here The fact that we have sold and handled more Go-Carts in New York City this season thin have any other three stores, and that nine-tenths of our Carts have come from this concern, was their sole reason In offering them to us at a clean-up price We shall sell them to-morrow. It is barely possible that a few of them may be left for Thursday, but more than two hundred will find new owners the first day. We have attached to them prices which make their buying absolutely essential to those folk who have Go-Cart needs, The “real value” of them, as we express it, represents our own idea of their value; not that of exclu- sive stores where the prices would be from five to six times what we shall ask, ; Go-Carts, the teal va'urs of which are from $15 to $22. teal values of which are from $10.50 to $14.50, choice of Seventy. one Go-Carts, the teal values of which e¢ from $18.50 up to $23.75, Some of the styles are as you see them pictured here; we've simply chosen a few at random, to help you in your choosing, They scarcely need any description, since they describe themselves, | 4 All of them, however, have solid reed bodied, of | | the very finest sort. Some are worked out into scroll designs, with heavy rolls, while others are quite plain—that every taste may be gratified. Every cart is fitted with 4 pry for choice Of Seventy-four Go-Carts, the real values of which are from $24.75 to $30.00 and $35.00, the latest improved automobile run. ning gear, permitting perfect ease in operation, and they have rubber-tired wheels, of course.
