"The Happiest Nlcht In Ills Life" will never cause Oeorce W. tderer and hi partners half the happiness that they have gained, from their other play, "Ma dame fflierry.-" whlrb entered the New Amterdam Theater lam Aujcust and will rWurtantly depart this month. The owners have submitted facsimiles of box office, statements to prove their claim that during Its first six months in New Yor(f. the tos -receipts of "Madame Bherry" reached the enormous flcura of .. Psrt of the success of "Pomander Walk." the dainty little play which is doing ao well at Wallacka. la due to the unkjue atace aet. a Utile circular atreet showing, five houses. And thereby hangs a tale. Six House Called For. Tha original manuscript called for six houses, eacn occupied by a family which figured mora or less prominently In the story. But when the set waa built.- It waa speedily seen that even the large stage of Wallat-k's would be unable to accommodate the alx dwellings. So Uebler A Co. decided to cut the number down to five. It waa a bard thing to do. for it was Impracticable to eliminate any of the characters. Fortunately, there was an old minister who lived alone, and a widow and her daughter resided In an other house. Now the mlnlater boards with the widow, and the other resi dents of "Pomander Walk" rather look down upon her In consequence. The Board of Aldermen la gravely con sidering the question of suppressing pro fanity upon the atage. The pending or dinance la backed by tha Mayor, and It would not be surprising If it were passed. The present crusacs is In charge of Arthur 8. Colborne. president of the Anil-Profanity League, and a friend and neighbor of Mayor Gaynor. Of late he baa been visiting the plays regularly, and keeping close tab on expressions which he regards as In violation of the principles of h's organisation. He has Interested the members of the Holy Name Society throughout the city, and baa secured the signatures of several thousands to the petition which he has sent to the Aldermen. "It seems strange." Mr. Colborne re marks, "that young women will alt In a theater and take as a matter of course language, which if uttered In a drawing room In their presence, would horrify them beyond expression. In the lower rl.axM nf theaters. Biirh aa burlesaUS I houses, the use of profan'ty is more or less common, but It should be sup pressed there, too. There is absolutely no excuse for present conditions." Lack of Plot Deplored. Christie MacDonald. the atar of "The Spring , Maid." now In a successful run at the Liberty, declares that the trou ble with the average American musical comedy Is Its lack of plot, and the ab surd way In which specialties are drarced in. "For example." she says. "I was trav eling through the West, and ssw an in ferior company present a real American comic opera. In one scene a cowboy waa about to be banged for stealing horses. Of course, he was Innocent and to gain time, he turned to the Sheriff and said: " -If this were In the East. I should be tried In court, and if found guilty, electrocuted." "The Sheriff remarked that he had never heard of that form of punishment, to which the hero replied. "Whet Never beard of electricltyr And these words were the cue for .the electrlo ballet, that suddenly appeared and began a toe dance." "And." concluded Miss MacDonald. "even slighter excuses than that have been given In our Broadway successes for the Introduction of a song or a bal let." Charles FYohman has sailed for his regular Spring trip abroad. It Is an nounced that the most conspicuous novelty In his Kuropean ventures this season will be the appearance of three American men stars, supported by American actresses. In one of his Lon don houses during the coronation sea son. During the present year Mr. Froh man has been feeding his American audiencea on English, French and Hungarian plays, with foreign actors and actresses predominating In the casts. The theatrical bill of fare did not suit, and why an American diet should satisfy Knglishmen Is a matter that Is not easy to understand. "Kxcuse Me," the farce which Henry W. Savage is presenting at the Gayety, has been even a bigger success than I Indicated last week. On the third night the house was sold out, and there have been empty ticket racks ever since. All of which goes to show that the public would far rather laugh than cry. and that the popular show at the present time la the farce, if well played, well staged and properly directed. "Baby Mine" at the Nazlmova here will shortly be enabled to cable con gratulations to "Baby Mine" in London, for Margaret Mayo's jolly farce will be Introduoed to English playgoers this month. There are many ways to gather In legal business, but a Broadway pro ducer showed me something new In that line the other day. It waa an envelope with the printed address of a firm of Boston lawyers. Inside waa a slip giving the list of the plays at the various houses In the Hub, with the names of all the actors. "Looks rather blind, doesn't It?" quer'ed the producer, "but it is really a slick scheme. These chaps keep posted on all the theatrical changes, and If I want to sue John Smith for breach of contract all I have to do Is to wire to these lawyers and they will do the rest. No actor or actress can remain In Boston any length of time without the legal lights knowing about It. I understand they have arrange ments with New York divorce sharks too, and pick up a nice little Income." Baked apples Wash and dry six handsome cooking apples and set them In a baking dish with skin on: stick a clove In each one. If preferred, a splinter of cinnamon, dredge heavily with sugsr. pour over enough cold water to keep the apples from burning, and bake until tender. Baked - apples should be basted while cooking. Apple Betty Two cups of tart minced cooking apples and half a cup of stale bread crumbs baker's bread Is best; four tablespoonfuls of sugar, one big tablespoonful of butter, and er - .j jfl iru - - . ,a.
