.ECAUSE people all over tbe
country are humming, singing
or whistling some number of
t ;e score of "Madame
Cherry," the Impression is
current in some quarters that
t.'.e i . action's charm is in greater
musical. The mirth qualities of the
Play tre no less engaging than Its score.
The ! ne ef a man for a maid under Odd
u.-cumaanc'es. love of the FoulfuX ro
mantic 6ort. love that blossoms in the
heart of youth and flourishes as true
love ever does, when things do not go
smoothjy, is the reigning spell of the
production, according to report, but this
love, this courtship is so beset on so
many tides and attended by so many
misadventures that, while in itself re
maining an appealing Interest, all its ac
cessory situations arouse amusement.
Some idea tit the fun developed may per
haps be gleaned by a summary of the
character of the play, which, besides,
the lovers, Includes . an Italian house
Janitor, his Irish wife, a lively, fun-loving
actress, a New York mail about
town, an amusingly whimsical uncle of
the maid in love and others, including
the pupils of a dancing school and the
guests of a yachting party. "Madame
Sherry ' will be presented at the Bran
dels for four nights, beginning this
evening, with a matinee on Wednesday.
The company is said to be oven strongr
than tr.e original cast 'and numbers
pome oi the highest salaried people in
the musical comedy field.
Irish songs, an abundance of Celtic
wit, humor and love making, with an ex
citing c-tral story of horse racing in
Ireland f &arly a . century ago, are the
element -hIch serve to maKe enjoyable
tee new di axa. "Macuthla" (Pulse of My
Heart), which Chauncey Olcott is to pre
sent at the Brandels theater Thursday
and Friday evenings, October 4 and 5.
"Macushla" is an innovation in Irish
drama. The author,. Rida Johnson Young,
has gone far from the beaten path, and
has made a horse race the pivotal point
In the ttory. Brian Fitzgerald, a young
Irish uaronet, who has resided for some
years in America, has returned to his
native County Kildaia to take possession
of aa old estate, to which he has fallen
heir through the death of a lelative. The
estate has become heavily encumbered
throu&b the reckless living-of bis prede
cessor, and, as a last resort, Sir Brian
enters the sole remaining horse of the
great racing string, a in axe called
Macushla. in the great steeple chase race
on the Curragh of K'ldare. Rival horse
men bribe Fitzgerald's Jockey to pull her
up In the running, but their plot is frus
trated through Fitzgerald's cleverness,
and he rides the maie himself, winning
the heaviest purse of the year. His win
nings are sufficient to clear the debts
from the estate and - rehabilitate the
place. ' Manager Pitou has ' staged
"Macushla," in a manner that makes it a
treat tor the eye as well as for the
mind.
Henry B. Harris' production of James
Forbes' comedy, "The Traveling Sales
man," for the first time at popular prices.

afternoon and evening, where it wju

eocea this season than last. The oast this
year hag been changed but slightly from
last season, and is better in some respects
than the original. Shep Camp will t
sum the part of the Bieesy 6 lake. Faith

Wincbell Smith's delightful comedy
"The Fortune Hunter," with Mr. Fred
Niblo in the title role, supported by a
perfect company. Including Miss Jose
p;ae Cohan. Messrs. Cohan and Harila,
producers, will come to Brandels theater
on its return here for four nights, be
ginning Sunday evening. October i. with
a matinee on Wednesday.
The story of "The Fortune Hunter' is
a pleasant tale that holds a genuiue
charm for every native American. It
bears Its own testimony that It springs
from the soil. Its sentiments have
very decided affinity for the sentiments
of every one whose memory carries back
to the little places that cluster in the
laps of brook-drained, wooded hill
ay from the city, where interest In
one another Is out of focus, shallow and
Impersonal. The play does not seduce
the feelings with any beart-barrowlag
picture of misfortune; no betrayed girl

faintest echo of the gypsy's warnings; no
dark-eyed stranger is seen in pursuit of
startled innocence: no blank-caitrldged
revolver shatters the nerves as It blasts
villainy with stage-death. Its only hint
of distress is turned to pure comic use.
It is as clean and wholesome as the

In "Glittering Gloria" the players at

Omaha folks another comedy that Is en
tirely new here, and one that Is worth
the effort. It Is a play of smiles and
sunshine, with no tears in It. only fun
from first to last. It deals with the af
fairs of a beautiful and dashing young
woman who has won the title and who
manages to hold H, even despite the fact
that she Is pursued by a number of po
tential husbands, from among whom she
can only select ana. Xt is in the matter
of the selection of this one. that the
comedy of the play 'has Its birth. Miss
Lang will have the title role, and In ad
dition to having a part In which she
can revel, will also have a fine chance
to show a lot of new gowns, giving
something of a style show as well. The
matinees for the week will be on Sun
