For one thing, aa stven the new name of “The Red Petticoat,” evidently tatuomas at aioe beotee Lewel's winter flannels. And yet they say art is not reacenized on Broadway! ‘Then, too, ‘The Red Petticoat" hed rather pretty musical trimmings by Jerom D. Kern and lively ingles by Paul West, who turns @ rhyme as easily as he would a door-knob. The result was a sort of comio opera “Girl of the Golden West,” with manioure girls to add to the difficulties of the woman barber as e moral factor in the life of the mining camp. All might have been forgiven if those girls had manicured thelr voices before leaving home. Luckily, the tore ture they inflicted didn't last long, and it was forgotten as goon ap Miss Grace Field began to dance. Migs Field, who looked young enough to be her little sister, took only a few steps as the “Little Golden Maid” when ghe tripped out in thesfirst act, but as the performance went along she not only kept etep with !t but danced off with it in the most captivating manner, Tt was a delight to follow her. She danced with a natural grace that was Arresistible, For a partner at times 6! had @ youth named Donald Macdon whose feet made it possible to forget his face. And anyway, if you had half an eyd in your head, you couldn't see any one else when Miss Field expressed the sping poetry of motion.

Ho got along very well with Miss Lonise Mink in “Sins, Sing, You Tetrazzini,” but In their second duet, alas! the lay with the fur-lined namo Proved that she had nothing in common with Tetrazzini. Mr. Phillips's greatest achievement was to sing of peaches and ‘ream without ehoking when the miners nut’@ rope around his neck. At this trylag moment he suggested Caruso by bvetmg funny without knowing tt.

She brought along her parrot that re- ‘trained {teelf from saying “Oh! On! elphine’—and went to bed as usual, this time with the “prairie chickens"? vhose volces certainly needed a good night’s rest. Before retiring she ex- plained ehe had named her parrot Mary Garden because she coukin't sing much, but was @ damed good looker, She migsed @ point by not saying ‘a darned goed talker’—as every one who reads the newspapers knows. In tho last act Miss Lowell treated the audience to a ea] eurprise by singing ‘Since the Days of @eandmamma” charmingly and look- ing really pretty in the queint gown and Donnet that went with the sons. - James B. Carson killed Harry Conor’s oS part with Germen dialect, end Grace Field ae Dora Warner. Willam Pruette, curiously enough, had nothing to sing.
