Vjitfi Stageland ALCAZAB The AlcasaY Flayers, etartlns tomorrow evening:, will pre sent tor the new week, "The Only Girl," a Henry Blossom and Victor Herbert attraction, the third musical play by these authors preaentedby the Alcazar ' company this season. . . , . A w The story concerns .a young: author who. has won renown aa a writer ot ' comle operas and who Is. at loss for a composer to collaborate with him on the work he has In hand. One evening he hears the strain; of a violin from an y ' apartment above his own and hastily despatches his ' servant to. brUiff the ' player to him, as be believes the theme of the air which he has Just heard will tit admirably with the libretta he Is " wrlOntr.-, Ha i discomfited to find that - the composer of the air be has heard is a young: girl, for he. la, a. .confirmed woman hater. In desperation, however, '. he makes a contract with her to supply' the music for ' his new opera, stipulat- - ingr that their dealings shall be wholly of , a business nature and that she will be , ' treated just as if she were a man. Of course this arrangement does not : work outjciuite as satisfactorily as the - - author ha imacined it would and he , falls in love with bis - fair partner, at . the' end - diocoverlng that aha la . indeed "The Only Girl." , . ' With the Alcazar's cast or players, in ' cludlnsr Mabel Wilber, Oscar Fig-man, George Natanson,' Henry Coote, JLee paly, Edward Sedan, Detmar Poppen, JiJva Olivoiti, May Wallace and Jacque line Branea, it may be said-that no stronrer cast of principals lias ever been , : assembled In any musical stock company - and with the splendid sing-lng chorus, "The Only Girl", is declared to have a . stronger cast than did the original New York production.

To- night Is tha last performance of ;Very t , Good Eddie," a smart musical comedy i success, ' - - ' ' A- ' ' , T YRIC Paris is the setting for A J- Bound of Pleasure," which begins to whirl at the Lyric theatre today. It Is - a story that deals with the love 4ff airs . of IViord Chumply, who thinks he would enjoy the money he might secure with the hand of an American .heiress he doesn't care a farthing; for " her heart. His lordship finds that the course of : any old kind of love does not run imodthly. : .

Until thiey. are taken In - low by the police, they run riot all over "the place. These : two old crows , care .-naught for time nor place nor the girl they simply want to paint the old town red. They do not help Lord Chumply tet his fortune. Besides the love scenes and the stunts ot Mike and Ike. there is plenty of pep and a largo amount of jasx in "A Round , of Pleasure.- A Paris cabaret scene is' .a live 'affair, and there are numerous ' - songs and many dances to keep the tired business man from giving up all interest . in life.
