German, widely different from the dream
play. Arthur Schnitzler’s bit of grim real¬
ism has been seen here at the German
Theatre. The present production is ad¬
imirable In very way, and the group of
mummers, aristocrats and cannaille who
meet at the Green Cockatoo on the night
jwhen the Bastile fell, were admirably pre¬

swell balanced company.
TER EMERSON BROWNE'S new
play The Spendthrift,“ with Ed¬
mund Breeze and Miss Thals Ma¬
grane in the leading roles, had its initial
perförmance at the Hudson Theatre last
night, and from the manner in which it
was recelvedsthere is littie doubt that in
it Frederie Thempson has another win¬
ner. In fart, the prophecy was general
that The-Spendthrift“ will have a longer
run thanA PTool There Was,“ which
brought fa#t0 Mr. Browne.
The audience was enthusiastie and was
generous indeed wich its applause. The
curtain calls Just before the last act
threatened to continue throughout the
night, but Mr. Browne himself finallv

ance before the footlights. In reply to
the 'demands for a speech, Mr. Browne
declared that he could say nothing more:
than Lthank vou.“
The Spendthrift“ deals with the pres¬
ent time and shows awife who manages
to force her husband, a lbroker, to financial
ruin by her extravagances. Then she
Toolishly tries to help him to his feet by
borrowing from a would-be afffnitv. Sheg.

Then she leaves the husband, goes into
Tretirement, learns to lend a simple life
and is finally, reioined by her husband.
Mr. Breese, as the husband, is, if any¬
thing, better than in The Third Degree“
or The Lion and the Mouse. but this

Mr. Philip Cartwright, as a lawyer and
