New York has puriendered unconditionally to Cap. Frank Tinney and his beauty battalion of military vaudevillians at tho Lexington theater, who ko over the top in "Atta Doy" at that playhouse at every performance. Frank Tinney sets the pace. It's a hot one, but the supporting company of "vamps" and soldier show girls keeps up with him every inch of the way. Never at the Winter Garden has Tinney achieved such a triumph as in "Atta Doy." His spontaneous witticisms and drolleries keep the audience convulsed during the entire time ho is on the stage, while his masterly .arrangement of various musical numbers has been one of the great factors in making the show a succes. Assisting Capt. Tinney and contributing generously to tho whirlwind of fun and frolic are Pvt. George D. Gaunder, Pvt. Thomas Fairclough, Cpl. George Gunn, Pvt. N. Maley, Sergt. William K.

Thrills and surprises dominate the story's action and Miss Mercereau's portrayal of the heroine, her mother and her twin brother are done in a skillful manner.

AUDITORIUM I
Annette Kellerman. champion and favorite screen actress, is tho amphibious star of the netr Fox production. "Queen of the Sea," which comes to the Auditorium Monday and Tuesday. Miss Kellerman'a unique talents, both ns a thespian and natatorial artist, are well known to the picture-loving public from"A Daughter of the Gods" and othf-r aquatic productions. In "Queen of the Seas" she plays a naiad in a submarine fairy story designed to display her abilities as a swimmer and high diver in the most spectacular and sensational
style, it is claimed. It is said the
picture is packed with thrilling stunts and dramatic situations, and the hair-raising climax Is a scene where Miss Kellerman. walking a wire eighty-five feet in the air. is suddenly precipitated into the water by the severing of tlie slender strand. "The Sheriff." a two reel comedy featuring "Fatty" Arbuckle, will also be fhown Monday and Tuesday. Gladys Brockwell is to appear on Wednesday in a picturlzed version of the ?age success, "The Strance Woman." The story- has to do with marriasre and free love. The picture presents many marriages for what they are and effects a striking contrast between a woman who refuses to be shackled to
a man. even though she is jn iove would
with him. and other women who have been bound by a wedding ceremony. Mutt and Jeff; the Pathe News and "Here 'Em Have." a comedy with Harold Lloyd, will fill out th bill. Heading Thursday' bill are Francis Bushman and Deverly Dayne in a comedy drama entitl4!.
BY X. I. DABCOCK. Jt is none too often that a stage production receives :i unanimous verdict in its fnvor from the entire pros of a city. This agreeable experience has fallen to the lot of an admirable organization known as the "Society of American Singers," through a revival of Gilbert and Sullivan's lonpr neglected "Gondoliers," at the Park theater. New York. For some unaccountable reason this work, which ran for 13 months following its first production in London in 18 89, had not been sunk In this country for 25 years or more. Many other of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas have revivals in various parts of the United States, but not "The Gondoliers." And now multitudes of delighted persons in whose minds these collaborators were associated only with "Pinafore" and "The Mikado" are wondering how they could have been kept so long In ignorance of this treasure of melody and wit. Kven those of the critics who have come into that journalistic estate within the last quarter century could not help expressing their surprise in priut. the next day, at the marvelous up-to-dateness and appropriateness of a work that had been laid away in the attic for neglected things for more than two score years. It did seem a little as though caterers to public taste had wilfully declined to turn the key of a choice wine-bin. "The Gondoliers." as all who have the good fortune to visit New York during this revival ol the various Gilbert and Sullian operas, may see for themselves, furnishes in a most convincing way proof that these two Englishmen in their merry life-time accomplished a good deal more than probably they set out to do; that they really Invented a new form, of entertainment. You may call it "comic opera" but It in't; any form of clowninc. any approach at "horse play" is as out of place as It would be in a drawing-room. You cannot iik n it to the "Opera Comique" of the Jacques Offenbach, or the Alexander Lecocg school
the morals neither of a "gTande duchesse" nor of a "Fille de Madame Angot" would fit her for compan-
ionship with Gilbertian folk, nor
many of the inane, slangy
and flippant personages we meet with in "musical comedy" find themselves at home in the society of stajre characters who can always manage to be witty wjthout being vulgar, anr: clean without being- dull. You may describe Sir Arthur Sullivan's share in these joyous ere-
