“JUDGE” AT THE THEATRE. (Continued from page 1.) know what that English light * humour * is— an elephant doing stunts at the skipping-rope. We can fancy Mr. Hood protesting: ** W'ot! me lines not funny? And ‘ere I've gone and pat puns in all the speeches and &, double -entendre in every blooming verse. Bless me ‘eart, w'ot do the yankees want, ch?” Yet, after all, ‘The Rose of Persia” comes nearer to being a legitimate comic opera than anything | else we have had since the old Gilbert and Sul- livan days. ‘It dispenses with the over-worked “topical song,” giving in its place a pretty though punning strcet-arab ditty, and a very serious skit upon social foibles, with this re- frain: Fipakees erin tis bosise and Whe eek od the top. We must confess, however, that this sort of thing does not quite satisfy us asa substitute for“ The Boy Guessed Right” and “Oh! I Love Sassiety" in the irregular but irresistible “Runaway Girl.” Tne imported English com- pany presents but one striking personality, and that is John le Hay, the veteran Savoy come- dian, who is unfailingly fupny in the role of Hasian, the eccentric philanthtopist. Ruth Vincent, the prima-donna, fas ‘no dramatic strength, but her voice is musically true and ‘sweet. bi Gus Thomas's ‘Arizona struck Manhattan for the first time, last week, at the Herald ware. This play is a photographic transcript of army-post and ranch life in the southwest. Everything in it, from the military etiquette to the alkali dust, from the bbyle-calls to the knotting of the cowboys’ neck-handkerchiefs, is the real thing. Only imagination is want- ing. The characters and their setting are so literally true to life as to make the theatrical machinery of the plot look rather false, clumsy and incongruous by contrast. It seems un- grateful to say this of a work which has so many good comedy moments as “*Arizona ” un- questionably has; but really it is to the author's credit if his straightforward sincerity puts the conventional stage claptrap to shame. “*Ari- zona" adds to the picturesque variety of the dramatic exhibits on the Broadway plaisance, and well deserves the popular welcome extend: ed to it. Charles Frohman has hit upon a happy scheme in doubling up a Hans Christian An- dersen fairy-tale with a highly Parisian farce on the nightly bill at the Madison square. Blasé old rounders really enjoy the ingenuous freshness of ‘Tb and Little Christina.” while ostensibly going to see. and praising from mere force of habit and tradition, the French farce which bores them. The simple suburbanite and the gushing ** young person,” on the other hand, have huge jun with the frisky ‘* Hus- bands of Leontine,” but say little or nothing about it at home, reserving their loud commen- dations for the kindergarten curtain - raiser, which honestly they dont much care about. ** The cry is, still they come!’ said Macbeth just previous to his getting knocked out by the noble Macduff, And at Sohmer & Co.'s piano warerooms, Fifth avenue, corner of Twenty- second street, the cry is, still come the orders for their popular instruments, that are sent over alt the land and sea to gladden happy homes with their melodious notes and refining influ- ences. The Sohmer is an adjunct of civiliza- tion, and plays an important part in the history of the world’s best interests. Autumn Novelties. Fancy Silks, Crépes, Velvets, Dress Goods, Cloths, Cassimeres.
