“THE BLUE PARADISE.” 
The Messrs. Shubert will present 
as the attraction to follow the current 
@itraction at Y* Wilbur Theatre, 
Isoston, beginning next Monday night, 
Feb. 5, the Viennese operetta, “The 
Blue Paradise,” which achieved such 
a notable success in New York last 
season, when it ran a whole year at 
the Casino Theatre, scoring the most 
tremendous musical comedy hit in 
years. The production comes here 
with the identical cast seen in New 
York, with Cecil Lean in the leading 
comedy role. 
The book of “The Blue Paradise” 
has been adapted from the original of 
Leo Stein, author of “The Merry 
Widow,” by Edgar Smith, with addi- 
tional lyrics by Herbert Reynolds and 
Bianche Merrill. The music, which 
is said to be the most captivating 
heard in years, was composed by Ed- 
mund FEysler, with additional num- 
bers by Sigmund Romberg and Leo 
Edwards. 
“EILEEN.” 
Now that Boston has seen Victor 
Herbert’s new operetta, “Eileen,” 
formerly called “Hearts of Erin,” 
which was produced at the Shubert 
Theatre three weeks ago, everybody 
is talking about its well-deserved suc- 
cess and the great outburst of en- 
thusiasm with which it was greeted 
by the overflowing first-night attend- 
ance. This reception, in truth, must 
be recorded as one of the most spon- 
taneous outbursts ever given a musi- 
cal play seen here during the past de- 
cade. . 
When a play, whether lyrical or 
dramatic, accomplishes the resounding 
success made by “Eileen,” there must 
needs be something to account for it. 
The answer is this case is simple 
enough. 
“THE Brat.” 
Beginning Monday, February 5, 
Oliver Morosco, the producer of “So 
Long Letty,” “The Cinderella Man,” 
“The Unchastened Woman,” “Peg 
O’ My Heart,” “The Bird of Para- 
dise,” and “Canary Cottage,” will pre- 
sent a new comedy, “The Brat,” from 
the pen of Maude Fulton, the vaude- 
ville and musical comedy actress, re- 
membered from her associations with 
William Rock and known as Rock 
and Fulton in the legitimate and 
vaudeville worlds. The play will ap- 
pear at the Plymouth Theatre, Bos- 
ton, for two weeks.

The story tells, with unflagging in- 
terest, the different phases, various 
seriocomic incidents of Manhattun 
life, revolving about the young woin- 
an who wrote the play and interprets 
the title role. 
PARK SQUARE THEATRE. 
Boston is to have a big laughing 
period beginning next Monday, Feb. 
5, when Selwyn and Company will 
offer at the Park Square Theatre af- 
ter its run of 400 performances in 
New York, Avery Hopwood’s “laugh- 
asminute farce, “Fair and Warmer,” 
with the original New York company 
headed by Miss Madge Kennedy. 
Miss Kennedy has proved by her 
work in this farce and the one in 
which she last appeared, “Twin 
3eds,” that she is by far the most en- 
gaging comedienne in America. Pos- 
sessed of the most refreshing per- 
sonality, wholesome as a breath from 
the sea in summer, she is by her own 
peculiar methods and personality a 
positive comedy genius. It is doubt- 
ful if there is another young woman 
of the stage who has been taken up so 
freely by the magazine and journal- 
istic writers as pabulum for their out- 
bursts of panegyrics, and her pic- 
tures have been more in demand than 
any other American actress. 
“A DAUGHTER OF THE Gops.” 
The third week of “A Daughter of 
the Gods,” now showing every after- 
noon and evening at the Majestic 
Theatre, Boston, to capacity houses at 
each performance, will begin with the 
matinee performance tomorrow after- 
noon. In this cinema spectacle Wil- 
liam Fox has given to the public not 
only the most pretentious of photo- 
plays, but a fantasy that is universal 
‘n its delightful appeal, built upon the 
beautiful idea of the immortality of 
true love. 
HENRY JEWETT PLAYERS. 
The most remarkable play that has 
been placed on the stage for a long 
time will be given by the Henry 
Jewett Players at the Copley Theatre, 
Boston, during the coming week. 
This is “Milestones,” by Arnold Ben- 
nett and Edward Knoblauch. 
The story takes the audience into 
three epochs—r1860, 1885, and the 
present. It presents the costumes 
and atmosphere of each of those 
periods. 
The Foreman—I’ll give you a job 
if you'll furnish me with a letter of 
recommendation from your last em- 
ployer. 
The Seedy One—Then it’s all up 
with me—he’s been dead twenty 
years. 
I have often noticed that the peo- 
ple who are ready to die for you, 
never think it necessary to pass the 
salt. They seem to imagine that the 
zreater includes the less, which it does 
not.—Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler.
