Dec. 12-13 "School for Scandal." Dec. 30. Ezra Kendall. Jan. 16 "The Girl Question." "The Red Mill." "The lied Mill," which will grind for the first time at the Gennett, Friday night, Dec. 6, is the one comic opera triumph of the past season to receive the endorsement of the dramatic critics and the paying public as well; in fact, all voted it the one supreme comic opera success of the year. "The Red Mill'' might be termed a musical comedy in two acts. Mr. Blossom, always clever, wrote the dialogue and lyrics, and Victor Herbert wrote the music, Eoth combined have made a play that will last as long, jf Xiot longer, than any comic opera. Tha story has to do with two roving Americans who are "doing" Europe for tho first time, but find when they strike the continent that their extravagance lias led them to almost financial ruin. They are discovered in an attempt io escape from the hotel, leaving their baggage behind, are apprehended, arrested and tried, and are sentenced ly-the burgomaster to work out their sentence to the innkeeper. Then befdns a series of complications aud excruciating situations which are brought to a climax In the first act, where they are helping two lovers to excape and go to the extreme in rescuing an imprisoned maiden from the mill by means of the revolving blades cr fans, which they use to ascend and descend with the girl. One whole season on Broadway, New York, should be sufficient guarantee

bats, are . reputed to have a turn i this line that is of the best. Ham Lakela, juggling artist and equilibris promises to hold his own in this a pacity and a very clever little playle entitled, "A Crazy Messenger," is t be presented by Zanfrietta an Mansfield. The song Carl Lankewill sing this week is entitled. "It's Great to Be a Soldier," and the cat eragraph will show the latest motio pictures. While it is not always po. sible for a manager to tell his patron in advance just what kind of fare h-

; will provide for them, the New Phi' lips management believes there wil

be no disappointment with the new bill. Dick Gibson and Isabel Bass will make their debut in vaudeville Friday night at this house, in their playlet, "Prachtvoll of the Midnight Sun." "The Girl Who Looks Like Me." Want to laugh as you never laughed before? Well journey to the Gennett Dec. 9 and see charming Kathryn Osterman and her clever sister Anna Belmont in "The Girl Who Looks Like Me." Of course you have seen some very excellent comedies exploited by some ctever people, but none like the "Girl." This is a vertiable inciter of "acute? laughitis" attacks of which physicians declare to a unite are high-

: ly beneficial to all sizes, ages and con

ditions of humanity. "When Knighthood Was in Flower." "When Knighthood Was in Flower" with Miss Grace' Merritt in Julia Marlowe's old role of "Mary Tudor" is announced for the Gennett, Thursday Dec. o. The dramatization of the story is so complete that not a single sentence of importance in the book missing from the play. From the op ening scene in Windsor Park until the curtain drops on the final union of "Mary Tudor" and "Charles Brandon," Charles Major's book is before the audience. The play is in its seventh season of popularity, and is said to be proving a greater favorite than ever before. While Miss Merritt's clevei work is undoubtedly the most prominent factor in keeping afresh its popularity, the play itself is one that will probably live for many years to come. Embracing as it does the salient feat-

to assail any challenge. Thousands of New Yorkers have gone time and again to see Con Kidder and Kidd Connor, in their various characters, and t4 listen to the melodies of Victor Herbert's catchiest themes, while the different types of girls which form the chorus, and the cute little Dutch Kiddies, six in number, to say nothing of the exquisite costumes and stage settings, should prove' enough of allurement to fill any theatre. The production here will be a replica of the New York organization and will include an exceptionally clever cast, with M. P. Coakley as Con Kidder; Harry MoUrid as Kid Connor: John B. Simpson. Marry Carter, Milton Dawson, Fred McGee, Maurice Lavigne. Charles Hopkins, and the Misses Louise Brackett. Marguerite Fry, Sadie Kirby, Edmace de Dreux and a chorus of fifty, including the Dutch Kiddie? and an augmented orchestra.

Vaudeville at the Phillips. Owing to some remarkable qualities that are possessed by the voice of Miss Deverne, who will be seen at the New Phillips in vaudeville this week, the stunt put on by DeVerne and Van is expected to be one of considerable interest. They are musical comedy artists and the claims made for them are somewhat out of the ordinary. The bill for the week promises to be a lively one as on paper it does not seem that anything tame or slow-going can creep in. The Alrona Zoeller Trio, European comedy acro-

drama, it not only meets with the enthusiastic approval of the lover of romantic drama, but the most ardent devotee of melodrama or even musical comedy finds the greatest enjoyment in this fascinating story of life in the court circles of England during the Tudor period. The supporting company of over twenty players, with which Miss Merritt has been surrounded, includes a number of well known artists, while manager Ernest Shipman has provided a most elaborate scenic and electrical equipment for the production. "Cupid at Vassar." The college songs in the new musical play for college girls, "Cupid at Vassar," caught an audience the other night in rather an embarrassing manner. The city was a coljege town and the house filled with college boys and girls. No sooner was the first song sung than it was redemanded and redemanded. The second was treated in like manner. As the songs were sung for the fourth and fifth times they were accompanied with a hearty echo from the audience, and for a time it seemed as if the play could not proceed further than the last song. After the play was over a company of the young college men and women followed the young ladies of the company to their hotel, and waiting until the lights were out. serenaded them with the very songs they had learned during the evening. A. Baldwin Sloane, who wrote "Lady Teazle" and "The Gingerbread Man," is responsible for the songs that were so well received. This new musical comedy-drama is billed to come to the Gennett next Saturday matinee and night. In it Florence Gear appears in the role of Kate Newton, the Vassar girl basket ball champion.
