Edward Knoblauch's Oriental drama, "Kismet," which will be presented
by Klaw & Erlanger and Harrison Grey Fiske, with Otis Skinner in the
chief rote, at the Grand Opera House, Tuesday and Wednesday night, with a
matinee Wednesday, has been translated into more foreign languages than
any other play that has come from the pen of an American dramatist. "Kis-
met" is less than three years old and its reputation is already world-wide.
Mr. Skinner's role of Hajj, the beggar, affords every opportunity for the
display of this splendid actor's genius in characterization. Every fao:t of his
polished art is turned to the light during his performance and is made to
sparkle brilliantly. Hajj, Indeed, experiences in the one day covered by
the play's action, every emotion known to the human heart, and in conse-
quence Mr. Skinner is called upon to run the entire gamut of dramatic ex-
pression.
Associated with hint are such well-known players as George Gaul, Wil-
lard Webster, Owen Meech-, Richard Scott, Daniel Jarrett, Charles Newsom
William Lorenze, Harry Sothern, Harold Skinner, Ernest Leeman, Merle
Maddern, Grace Hampton, Genevieve Dolaro, Rosa Coates and Nannie Pal-
mer. Altogether the company numbers one hundred persons.
In staging "Kismet" Harrison Grey
Flske has accomplished a feat that has
called forth the highest praise from the
• critics and from those discerning play-
goers who realize the importance of the
producer's work. The seven mngnificent
.stage settings painted by America's fore-
most scenic artists are In perfect harmony
.end are true, even to the smallest detail,
to the locale and time of the play.
Many of the costumes and accessories
. Were imported from the Orient. The in-
cidental music, composed by William
Furst. is based upon Arabian themes and
the chants of the Mohammedan muezzins.
In its entirety the production has been
called repeatedly the "last word" in stage
artistry.
The first view of the Kinetophone. the
genuine Edison talking pictures, will he
given at the Grand today, matinee and
night, and Monday matinee and night,
when the apparently impossible will be
achieved, the audience hearing and also
seeing a musical performance, a minstrel
show and getting an explanation. We are
making history every day and the Kineto-
phone will give future generations the
complete story in every detail. The Edi-
son talking pictures are all they are
heralded to he, the synchronization is
perfect, and the voices are clear and dis-
tinct.
The Nomia Musical Comedv Companv
will appear at the Grand two weeks,
sturting Thursday, April 2. Matinees will
be given daily at 2:30 o'clock with eve-
ning performances at 8:15 and 0:30.
There is a selected companv of thirty
players, headed by Linda May Rochelle,
and under tho dtroction of Ed Armstrong,
late musical director for Henry W. Sav-
age.
The company carries a sixteen-piece
band and an orchestra, a carload of
special scenery and mechanical effects
The players travel in their own cars.
The offerings are said to be handsomely
set, richly costumed and well staged.
MARGARET ANGLIN SEEN
IN SHAKESPEAREAN PLAYS
Percentage of Interesting Productions for Week
in New York Sufficient to Draw Down
One or Two Successes.

NEW YORK, March 28.—A fairly active
week has just been brought to a close.
The harvest did not Qutte reach expecta-
tions, but the percentage of interesting
plays was sufficiently great to draw down
one or two successes, at least.
The most Interesting event was Margaret
Anglln and her company in Shakespearean
repertoire. Two plays were produced the
first week, "As You Like It" and "The
Taming of the Shrew." Of the former lit-
tle may be said. The production was
commendable but, save foi Fuller Mellish
as Jacques, we may in charity pass over
the acting. Miss Anglln is tlnsulted to
the role, as evidenced later in the
week when pJrtrayed the termagent,
Katherine, in "The Taming of the Shrew."
Many critics took violent exception to her
"modernity" in this role, yet it was in
accordance with her own ideas, and she
was but following the modern tendency,
which is to keep the plays of the Hard
of Avon as nearly as possible, "up to
date" without entirely sacrificing the art.
Miss Auglin was highly complimented for
lier success as a producer and, though she
did not reach the highest point of expec-
tation in her own acting, as q producer
she overreached the point which had been
set for her by her friends.
Of the other plays that followed little
"The C:
need be said.
Crinoline Girl" was an
unworthy offering, made possible only be-
cause of the peculiar art of Julian Ei'tlngo
as an impersonator of feminine charac-
ters. It was, in fact, Eltinge and he only
who made the thing endurable. "Marry-
ing Money," written by a youth with more
ambition than talent for his task, will not
tarry long, I fear, while "Maids of Ath-
' ens," from the pen of (lie melodious Franz
Lehar, failed utterly to reach his usual
stundard. In point of fact the best thing
In this Lehar opera was not by Lehar at
all, but an interpolated march song writ-
} ten by Paul Iver, a clever comedian and
| talented composer, who Is now playing In
J a musical production in this city.
i "A Pair of Sixes" arrived succeasfully
late this week, and next week we are to
see several changes, the new faces being
scheduled for the Booth, where "I'anthea"
will be presented, replacing "Omar the
■ Tcntmaker," who will fold tip his tent
and return to the Lyric, replacing, in
turn. Blanche lllng. who never did tell us
"Why is the ocean so near the shoreV"
The Shubert Is to be closed, "A Thousand
Years Ago" having completd its run here.
Blllle Burke returns after a brief absence,
presenting a new Play, "Jerry."
"Ghosts," too, will be presented Sunday
• evening at the Longaere Theater. This is
to be one of the most interesting perform-
! ances of the season, the cast being un-
usually brilliant, which should Insure the
! most Interesting performance of this in-
teresting play ever seen tn this country.
'-Hilda Englund plays her familiar role of
Mrs. Alving. Ian Maclaren will be seen as
r Oswald AlTlng, Maude tieslle plays Regina
Engstrand, Haviland Burke fs to be the
Pastor Manders and R. Paton Gibbs plays
, Jacob Engstrtind. On paper it looks like.
; Id the vernacular of the day, "some cast."
"AS YOU LIKE IT."
"As You Like It," by Shakespeare, was
revived by Margaret Anglln at the Hudson
Theater Monday evening with the follow-
ing cast: Duke, E. Y. Backus; Frederick,
Harrison Carter; Jacques, Fuller Mellish;
Amiens, Harrison Carter; Le Beau, Wallace
^Viddecombe: Charles, Max Fisher; Oliver,
trie Blind; Jacques, Brandon Peters: Or-
ndo, Pedro de Cordoba; Adam, Harry
■ Barfoot; Dennis Roy Porter; Touchstone,
Sidney Greenstreet; Corin. Max Montesole;
Sylvius. Max Fisher; William, Max Monte-
1 aole; Rosalind, Margaret Anglln: Cella,
. Ruth Holt Bouclcault; Phebe, Florence
Wollerson; Audrey, Lillian Thurgate.
The consensus of the opinion of New
1 York reviewers might be summed up in
: the opinion of the Herald, whose critic,
> after praising Miss Anglln for her temer-
ity, and according her a hearty welcome,
obaerves: "It cannot be said that Miss
Anglln was a contagiously merry or
' " - "1. She spoke her lines
lth considerable freedom,
_ would expect of an actress
of' her training and experience; but, save
(or occasional flashes, such as the emo-
tional moment of swooning, her Rosalind
did not reveal extraordinary poetic, ro-
mantic or comedy charm. She looked
pretty, though, clad as the shepherd
youth.
Ths Times calls her a "buoyant Rosa-
lind." and considers tba performan<-e on
tba whole an agreeable one, while the press
la moat enthusiastic, declaring it to be
one of tba best performances witnessed In
this city. Tba Tribune finds Miss Anglln
"a trifle too matronly." and also found
fault with her speech which, declare* this
reviewer, "had a twang rather urban for
thowe sylvan glade." Tbe World calls the
production "impres«4<»nii*lc," and I shall
not take issue. "Tbe performance and tbe
reading." this critic declares, "were dis-
ly la a modern alyle." aid the gun,
tba modern tendency, continues:
. Anglln was a c
- rouglsh Rosalind,
well, she a ted wit
as. Indeed, one wo
"One might readily be satisfied with tha
way 111 which the plays are mounted were
there some element of an unusual character
111 the degree of talent displayed in acting
them.'' The caustlo Alan Dale in the
American jibes at her effort, declaring it
to be an heroic thing to do to bring Shake-
speare to "Lobsterdom," which, for tho
benefit of the lay reader, may be explained
In the section which exists * in the mind s
of newspaper writers and Is demoted to
wild debaucheries in which lobster and
champagne play the leading roles.
After all, however. Miss Anglin has
aroused interest, and that, to sav the least
is an accomplishment. Fuller Slelllsh re-
ce ves unusual praise for his Jacuues in
this play.
TAMING OF THE SHREW.
"The laming of the Shrew" was pre-
sented by Miss Anglin on Thursday even-
ing at the same playhouse with the follow-
ing cast: Baptista, Harry Barfoot: Vin-
centio r<. 1. Backus; Lucentlo, Pedro de
torboda; Pertruchio, Krie Blind; Gremio,
\N a 1 lace Widdecombe; Hortensic, Harrison
Carter ; the Pedant. Fuller Mellish; Trunio.
Max Fisher; Biondello, Sidney Greenstreet;
Gruinio, Max Montesole; A Tailor. Roy
lorter; A Haberdasher, Bryndon Peters;
Katharina Margaret Anglin; Bianca,
i Holt Boucicault; A Widow, Florenco
Wollerson; Curtis, Lillian Thurgate;
Nathaniel, Brandon Peters; Philip, Roy
Porter; Joseph, Donald Cameron;
Nicholas, Howard Liudslev; Peter, John
\>. Condlt; Servant, Margery Card.
As might have been expected Miss An-
glin was much happier In the role of
Katharina than in her previous role of
Rosalind. The Tribune says that: "It was
capitally acted," adding: "Seldom in theso
days is it possible to see so wholly delight-
ful a performance of Shakespeare as that
given by- Miss Anglin and her companv,"
while the Times, after declaring that it was
acted in a lively fashioti, adds: "A cav
rattling farce, richly Elizabethlan In its
flavor and full of fun for an audience of
this day and city." That is their descrip-
tion of the play, and Miss Anglln, as well
as several of the members of her com-
pany, notably Mr. Blind and Mr. Montesole,
received special mention. Many of the
critics comment upon tha broad comedy
lines in which this play was cast, the Sun
observing that most .Titles hold that this
was Shakespeare's design, and the Press
remarks that "however she may have mar-
red the Intention of the hard—and there
la no doubt that she sinned in this regard
—she at least made a very plausible Kate,
and by her acting made a fairly pleasing
entertainment of what could so well have
been a bore." The Herald declares that
"a Shakespearean production more delight-
ful than MIrs Anglln's presentation of
"The Taming of the Shrew' would be dif-
ficult to imagine," and the World declares
that she is admirable In the part, adding:
"At times her Katharina assumed a kind
of pouting moroseness, but it was ani-
mated, nevertheless, by high spirits, and
it st-arccly ever failed to produce the re-
quested humorous effect.

A special word of praise should be be-
stowed on the magnificent scenic produc-
tion, both from the point of view from
lighting effects and scenic effects. Much
was expected from Miss Anglin's new style
of scenery, and it is gratifying to remark
that It was overdone.
"THE CRINOLINE GIRL."
"Tbe Crinoline Girl." a play with music,
written by Otto Hauerbach, was produced
at the Knickerbocker Theater Mondav
evening, with the following cast: DnrothV
Ainsiey. Helen Luttrell; Lord Robert
Bromleigh, Herbert McKenzle; Smith,
Joseph S. Marba; Marie, Augusta Scott,
Richard Alnsley, Charles P. Morrison;
Jerry Alnsley, Herbert Corthell; Alice
Hale, Matdel Turner; Tom Hale. Julian
Eltinge: Charles Griffith, James C. Spotts-
wood: John Lawton. Walter Horten ; Rosa-
lind Bromleigh, Edna Whistler; William,
Edwin Cushman.
The story briefly Is this: : Tom Hale,
a young American spendthrift, loves a girl
whose rather promises him her hand only
on condition that he can earn $10,000 by
his own efforts. He nets out to win a re-
ward of $25,000 offered for the recovery of
some stolen Jewels, and In order t® trap
the thieves, masquerades as a girl, and at-
tends a masked ball In a crinoline shirt.
His detective efforts lesd him through an
amazing series of beautiful feminine cos-
tumes, and many really amusing situa-
tions. The action Is of tbe rapid-fire va-
riety, halted only when It comea time for
Mr. Eltinge to Ring an occasional song.
"There were plenty of merry quips of
tbe sort that need no diagram," aays tbe
Sun. "and If later audiences applaud as
heartily and laugh as generously as did
tbe first nlghters. Mr. Eltinge will re-
main with us for some time." The Herald
describes the play as "the wildest sort of
melodrama which becomes better entertain
ment as It progresses." and goes on to
.sy that "Mr. Eltinge carries his share of
tbe entertainment essllv and with a certain
wholesome method.'' Ih« Ameriraa coat

mm
mem*; "The Crinoline Girl" recalls the
old, old days of farce comedy before
Charles H. Hoyt's star ever twinkled. It, is
without form and void." Of lilt Inge's per-
sonal work, however, the same paper says:
"Such as was, It was well done." Ac-
cording to the Times, "What 'Tho Crino-
line Girl' lacks In 'class,' it makes up for
in speed, and during the entire three acts
there is not a dull moment on tho stage.
There are plenty of laughs that come
naturally out of well built situations, arid
the melodramatic twist to tho story, while
very reminiscent and not exceedingly puz-
zling, is nevertheless interesting."* The
World can find very little excuse for this
type of play, declaring that "there are
many to whom Mr. Eltlnge's art is no
more entertaining than a museum of hu-
man anatomy would be, and to whom It is
a:i distasteful." The livening World, on
the other hand, finds the play "exceedingly
funny," with a goodly tnr«»ug of laughs*'
and says "Mr. Eltinge succeeds in making
himself feminlns without being effemin-
ate."
MARRYING MONEY.
"Marrying Money," a play by Don
Alonzo Washington Pezet. son of the Am-
bassador from Peru and Bertram Mar-
burgh, had its first metropolitan hearing
at the Princess Theater, Thursday eve-
ning, March 18, with the following cast:
Gladys Sutherland. Juliette Day; Gertie,
Mary Happcr; Frank Gaville. Calvin
Thomas; bellboy, Argyll Campbell; Mrs.
R. Lyman Miles, Jessalina Roger; Mil-
dred Miles, Nan Campbell; R. Lyman
Miles, Edward Kmery; Theodore Vander-
poel, William Roselle; Jimtnie Sweeney,
Will Deming; Count Sebastian du Sac,
Ernest Cossart; Mrs. Augustus Vander-
poel, Amelia Mayborn; Archibald Vander-
poel, Stanhope Wheatcroft: Oscar fc^hleg-
elmllch. Alfred de Ball; Rev. Dr. Llttle-
john. George Gaston.
The story of the play 1* that of two
young persons who marry for money only
to find after their elopment that neither
of them really has any. The girl's father
has Just lost his fortune In stock specu-
lation, and the man has failed to inherit
an expected fortune from a distant rela-
tive. However, by the time they each
find out the mistake, they have really
fallen in love with each other, so all ends
happily, despite their original intention
to commercialize romance In the scramble
for social position.
According to the Times this new farce
"has some very dull moments and its
satire is dreary in spots, but where It Is
unpretentious the play is entertaining
and manages to tell an amusing story
with considerable freshness of invention."
The Tribune finds it "patching, ragged
and not verv funny with even the acting
undistinguished.** the best thing that pa-
per can say of it is "that it is not with-
out possibilities of rather obvious fun."
The World is even more severe, declaring
"it is well that the comedy could claim
for itself the virtue of cleanliness, for
it ceftainly had no other." The Herald
comments •' 'Marrying Money' did not
quite live up to expectations, owing chief-
ly to the fact, it seems, that the authors
although they had a good idea on which
to work, were somewhat at sea as to ft9
proper development." According to the
Sun "the general quality of the plav is
rather youthful than either good or bad.
It is not possllbe to say that it reveals
any special promise nor Is its view of
life distinguished by originality or by
any searching insight Into character."
The play was written by a young man
who it the son of Peru's representative,
and no doubt he was well pleased with
It. Its residence in this elty promises to
be of short duration.
"MAID OF ATHENS."
"Maids of Athens." an Operetta br
Franz Lehar and Victor L*on. with Eng*-
llsh version by Carolyn Wells, was pro-
duced at the New Amsterdam Theater.
Thursday. March 19, with the following
cast; Prince of Faroes, Albert Pcllatun;

? getlc Grecian maid In the chorus." The
World tufiKes complaint that tho Viennese
music and «oine interpolated numbers
wer»f lncongruouo. "Tho bulk of the Lehar
music rejoinled and not of the melodic
nort light opera patrons demand," this
critic observes, adding: "The cast as
a whole reflects the usual discretion
of Mr. Hava&e." The Times is satisfied
to call tho production# "a long hodge-
podge," observing that the plot fails to
disclose who the "maids really ure." The
Times criticises the comedy, but adds:
"The stage settings and the costumes were
satisfactory. A word is due the chorus,
which could Sing, dance and look well all
at the same time." The Press declares
that, the opera contains both pretty wom-
en und music, adding that the comedians
were genuinely funny. This critic con-
cludes: "'Maids of Athens' is diluted
Lehar Broudwayized—on the whole suc-
cessfully." The Sun concludes a review
by remarking that "'Maids of Athens' is
not stroug in it* fun." The Globe finds
solace in three beautiful chorus girls, and
the Evening World declares that "Maids of
Athens" is "a spring song good to hear,"
adding, "The music's the thing, and
Lehar s score Is so charging that it makes
'The Merry Widow' seem like a back
number."
The special praise belongs to Leila
Hughes, Cecil Cunningham and Albert
Pellaton.

The plot revolves around the efforts of
a young Fnited States naval officer to
capture a brigand whose hiding place is
in tbe mountains. Ills object in doing
this Is that he may win the hand of the
sister of the Princes of Tarnes. The lat-
ter Is in love with a charming young
American girl, and the roniplication of
the prince's dual personality and the two
lore affairs lurnlsh the basis for the
plot.
It can not be said that this latest of
Lehar contributions to the American stage
eouals either in interest or in charm some
of those with which his name has hither-
to been associated, notably "The Merry
Widow." Henry W. Savage, who made
the production, nas done all that could be
done, but ev^n he was unable to atono
for the shortcoming* of the book with
which he had been furnNhed.
"The book, however. Is the least in-
teresting part of the evening's entertain-
ment," deilarea the Tribune. "There Is
mel<»dy and lots of it, sung by a splendid
cast down to tht littlest and most cner-
