Anyone who has climbed the hill to the Moulin-Rouge and come dowr after an hour or two feeling a trifle flat ought to be able pretty accurately to judge the effect of this play by Pierre Frondate which Berjamin Glazer has turned into English smell- ing strongly of absinthe. [t is ali true enough to a particular quarter of Paris that isn't particular about what goes into or comes out of the mill, but its interest to New York is to be doubted for the reason that its dra- matic quality Is as light as its morale Ut offers nothing more than a bit of unregenerate life, highly colored tn its course and relentless at the end, yet tawdry of necessity. There is only one act of the play that gives promise of something deeper than surface emotions, and this Is after Marle-Claire has turned her back on the gayeties of Mont-| martre and is living quietly in a little| flat -with her beloved young com- poser Pierre. When a man and his} wife, both musicians, talk with Plerre | of Beethoven and Chopin and others whose works they love, Marie-Claire is made to realize they speak a lan- gnage she doesn't understand, and standing aside from the glowing little group she is a pathetic figure. This | situation takes another human turn} when the men go away to keep a con- | cert engagement, and two of the girl's friends from the Moulin-Rouge put in a decidedly gay appearance and shock the wife into leaving by their be- | “pavior.

We didn't know why until after the first act, when Sidney Black mer stepped to the footlights and said something about the vibration of the applause being of "The Garden Va- riety.’ The next thing he did was to appear with a big bunch of Ameri- ean Beauties which he passed into the box and into the arms of Mary fiarden.
