But Weber ‘and Ficlda themselves were tho samo old Joe and Low. They came into their own again last night lke two good boys who had been given the finest music hall in the world as a reward of merit. And that’s just what it ands for in Forty-fourth street, only a laugh or two from Broadway. Situated as it is in the yery heart of New York's night-ife—it nightelife may be said to have a heart!—the new music hall promises to become even mere popular than the old. It's exactly what the town needs—and, like the luzurious Bella Donne, all that the town needs !t must have. As a matter of fact, Weber and Fields now have nothing lees than @ big, beautiful theatre that ts ten times more comfortable than the old place and #0 brilliantly lighted ‘ that, in this respect, It puts other thea- | tres quite in the shade. | It was good to hear Weber and Fields make thelr brand-new home ring with laughter. They have never been funnier than they were last night, Except for. Marle Dressler they were in stranga company, but with her and Frank Dan- fel 1t Was good company. "I send you for news from Turkey, and I find you with the chicken!" ¢rted Marte, descend- Ing upon the susceptible Daniels as he basked in the siniles of a chorus that lived up, and even beyond, the beautif al traditions of the past. It took a man Ike: Danfels, a man with the contem- plative eye of a connoigeur, to appre: ciate that chorus. The costumes were equally beautiful, charming one moment GEE WF THEY GIVE YOUVA TICKET THIS SIZE TO CHICAGO (GUEGS ONE TO FRISCO) Must GE 5 YARDS LONG GEE HE GAVE UP' THAT TICKET EASIER THEN | €xPEecreDd “Holy Poly" was both a feast of furl and a blaze of glory. Weber and Meld« and Marte Dressler and Frank Daniels made the new house rock with laughter, while the dazzling chorus gave it a radiance that left nothing to be do- sired in the way of lighting arrange- ments, There were decidedly dull mo- ments, however, when Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth had the stage to themselves. The painful truth {s that ‘they 444 not fit into the happy scheme of things. In drawling out thelr songs thoy @acceeded only in retarding the performance. They made another mistake In talking of themselves, While they may be intensely interesting to themselves, they can hardly expect the theatre-going world to share thetr interest, ‘There wee too mugh of them, and altogther too little of Miss Dressler. In her man-eating winter furs Miss Dressler might have been The-Lady-or- the-Tiger-skin. She certainly was a scream. There was no question about it when she climbed into an automobile as if she were going on one of those “Joyous Adventures of Ariatide Pujol" so delightfully described by W? J. Locke. Seined with an operatic spasm, she kave a new meaning to the jewel eong from | “Faust” and then whooped up the cry of the Valkyrie With all her sou! and strength. Her gypsy dance was a full—not to say rounded—expression of freedom. ‘A funnier looking gypsy than Daniels has never been seen. For the moat part he wore a solemn air, together with a top-hat turned down in front, as a | ¢ doctor who, with a careless gesture, prescribed anything and everything that Weber was willing to take. In accents ead he sang “I Cannot Drink the Old Drinks,” but the natural alcohol in his veins made it exhilarating. Although he kept a watchful eye on Weber and Fields, they frequently found themselves in peril. The, were in an awful boat when a crocodile came up to cultivate & owing acquaintance with them.
