Is one of the most successful pieces produced there this season. The story deals with Flotsam nnd her father, Amos Barton, a llghthouse- i keeper. Twenty years befort- the opening or the play. Barton believes he killed a man In a drunken nt. Jt Is this reason that led him to isolato himself with his child on tin' lighthouse on Great Beef. Flotsam meets the son of the man sup posed to havo been killed by her fnther. and when they fall In love serious com plications result. Tho lovers nre finally united, however, by a deathbcU confes sion of the real murderer. The part of Flotsam Is interpreted by Ruth lloblnsoti nnd the character part of Amoa Barton Is portrayed by Itoy Milliard. Itichard La Salle Is Hdnurd El mer, the son of the murdered man. Other parts aie capably handled by Marie War len. Jack Keegan, Lillian Desmoude, Gor don Mitchell, Frank Carter and Henrietta Vnd rs. The staging and scenic effects are excellent. Sex Play at Knickerbocker . "Tho Natural Law,' .the much-discussed play, that purports to Justify the position of an Innocent girl, who has succumbed to tho elemental desire, or tho "natural law," Is the current attraction of the Knickerbocker Playets. The play, which Is hard to handle, ow ing to its delicate plot, is presented very well by Eleanor Montell, as the girl; Frank E. Elliot, as her lover, and Ted Brackett, as the physician who sees the inevitable happening and does hi utmost to remedy It. The main characters are supported ably. The plot deals with a young artist, who Is engaged to a physician. She falls in Jove with a young athlete while she works on a portrait of him in his running suit. TJio engagement with the doctor is broken. Later he Is called upon to help the girl in her trouble. The athlete goes abroad, the doctor protecting the girl, but returns with real love for the girl. This situation, together with the physician's love, causes an intense climax in the final act.

Vaudeville Keith's If you're tiled of slapdash tomfoolery, of hearing comedinns nmiouncc that they're nuts and proud ot such confes sions! If you really wnnt to sen something to sootho your nerves nnd lnugh at at tho samo time, then by all menus go nnd sec Agnes Scott and Henry Kcnno at Keith's this week. In "The Finnl Decree" they havo dared to give us something truo to life, which met with tho Btamp of approval last night beforo It wns two minutes old. A husband, who had to work so hard to Ret his wife the things she wanted thnt ho didn't havo tlmo to fuss around with her socially, and a wlfo who misun derstood. A divorce decree Is Rrnntcd nnd sho comes to bid him good-by the night beforo they aro to part forever. He feigns happiness, but shr knows thnt It Is not real. Sho also fears that ho will not take core of himself. Then It dawns upon hor that she loves him more than evor before. Ho Is finally convinced of tho sincerity of her nffectlon and the divorce Is off. Nearly every line carries n wealth of meaning. That many of them struck "home" In tho uudlencc wns apparent by sudden laughs where they were not ex pected. Mr. Kcnne has rather a lazy part ns tho husband, but ho is decidedly artistic in his laziness. And he wns so decidedly in different to tho pence-making of his wlfo that It was fonred tho act would end be fore n reconciliation was effected. Miss Scott Is tho author. Bessie Wynn seemed to bo daintier than ever beforo and offered a number of ex ceptionally good songs. Tho best perhaps was "Mother's Bosary," which dealt with tho futility of war. Miss Wynn was gor geously clml as usual and was In excellent volco. Sho was tho applause hit of the bill. "Thn Lure of tha North." a dancing pantomime by Alice Els nnd Bert French, proved to be an artistic treat. Tho dance Is presented among decidedly realistic snow banks, Into which the dancers dis appear at the finish. Harry Glrard & Co. wore better than over In "The Luck of a Totem," nnd other good nets were offered by Conlin, Steele and Park, a trio of clever Phlladelphlans; LjIiizIr. the conjurer, who has appenred beforo the Hoyalty of Europe; the Two Carltons, original acrobats; John Cutty, a versatlln muslclun, and the Lunette Sisters In a thrilling opening act. , CltOSS KEYS. Al "White's "Kldlnnd," a tabloid of happy children and summer time, de lighted a large audience nt tho Cross Keys. There la no end of fun nnd good music In this sprightly offering, nnd the dances, too, are away ahead of those usually seen in vaudeville. All of the youngsters are Phlladelphlans. The pro ducer. Al White, has given careful at tention to details, with the lesult that tho act "went over" with a dash that brought many curtain calls. The llttlo members of the cast seem actuated by a sincere desire to please. As a happy get-together spirit prevailed, it would be difficult to Bay who was the particu lar star. Other acts which pleabed Included "Twelve Sons of the Sahara," ucrobats; Weston and Young, in an entertaining sketch; O'Brien and Buckley, Cecil Dun ham and the Nulland Brothers. GLOBE. Many laughs greeted Edmund Hayes and company. In "The Piano Mover," at the Globe. Tits quiet comedy of the boss and his dumb workman seemj to improve as it progresses. The act scored its usual success. Ergottls' Lilliputians won cordial ap proval by a number of funny and diffi cult stunts. Farber and company amused with a clever sketch; Ward and Kunen brought laughs with "The .errlble Judge." Among other acts on the bill were Scott and Wilson, Betsy Has, vocalist; Marino Sisters, De Arlno and Douglass and George Moore, who presented a num ber of clever tricks In the Juggling line, NIXON.

"i cv,PTrr!.n DUMB WIFE' Mischa Elman Recital Plus Damrosch Concert Tho combined Joys of a violin recital nnd orchestral program Vtoro tho fortune of tho nudlenco which henrd the Sym phony Society of New York, Walter Dam rosch, conductor, with Mischa Elman ns soloist, give Its second concert of the sea son nt tho Academy of Music. Tho bene ficiaries, and they wcro numerous, nf these (densities henrd the orchestra, with out Mr. Klmnn's nid, play Beethoven's Second Symphony and tho Bncchnirilo from "Tnnnhaeuser," and aH his nccom panl.it the Bruck concerto In 12 minor, after which It Joined tho nudlenco of his Schubcrt-WllhelmJ "Avo Maria" and Sar asato "Caprlco Basque," then retired decorously to tho wings leaving the cher ished centro of the stage to tho youthful violinist, who played Chopin's Nocturne lu 12 lint. Thus, tho externals may bo condensed to a Rlngle pnrsablo sentence; but thero Is moro to bo said in characterization and evaluation. First of all Just ciltlclsui might bo urged ngatnst the decidedly "mixed" character of tho proceedings; exception might well be taken to nn or chestral program which functioned as a mlnlaturo recitnl. It was curious, If not droll, yet It was absolutely excusable on account of the economic pressure which brought It about. That was this, simply: Mr. Damrosch was absolutely fair to his audience, oven nt tho risk of critical ani madversion on his program making. That admired Mischa magnetized music lovers to the Academy, to tile full of tho three galleries and to n goodly throng down Btnlrs. Tho Symphony Society's public is not assured in this city yet, desplto the popularity of lis summer organization. Edmons' popularity is as assured as boiiio think the violinist himself Those who llko tho sort of thing that Mr. Elman docs will like tho way ho did It last night; they Just loved tho ampli tude and sweetness of the tone, nnd were not distrait at tho visible effort with which It was produced or tho vanity which was complacent at Us production. Yet these defects of Klmnn's quality continued the grlovlng of tho Judicious these Inst few seasons, which have ex alted Elman, the master of mechanics of the violin, nnd obscured Elman, the artist. A strlpHng lad, not ninny seasons ago, appeared on tho samo stage, playing with the exuberant romance and lino enthu siasms of youth, which were not the less charming because of the mien of modesty that Invested the performer's security in his resources. That was the young El man, nnd we condoned conscious exhibi tion of virtuosity, sagely saying, one to another, that he would ripen and In the process lose the blemishes, fan the spark of genius even then flickering variably Into a clear, even lambent flame- Well, our knowing prophecy was wrong. The flame is still variable; It burns gloriously In an unaffected dimly religious rendi tion of the "Avo Maria," It flutters a bit in a Chopin nocturne; where it should Illuminate, It has only hard light und no warmth of emotion. In the Allegro ener glco of a Bruch concerto. Always Elman Is the master who ran effect marvels with catgut and horsehair, and It Is this mastery of technique which has Its reaction in the player's accept ance as a supreme artist by an unana lytic public. One hearer maybe many must mourn that the young Mischa Is still the youthful Elman; regret the ectln" of the boy with a soul by the su ptrtlddler; feel Irked that what was once Justifiable Juvenile Joy In sheer achieve ment should harden Into a conceited and complacent mannerism ot maturity, for mannerism means fossilizing, and that means stoppage of growth; accept un willingly the fact that Elman must be enjoyed, as a great technician, by the intellect, without surrender of the soul to his power. He was master of the bow In every number last night, but complete artist only In the Schubert song and the Bruch adagio, ' Mr. Damrosch alone made It necessary to review an Elman recital, which has been done. It remains to say his band played very well Indeed, without the "muddy" tone and muddled interpreta tion of its last appearance here. And those who spake loudly to the Patrons, the old esthetic society, assembled In a body, and said positively; "For one thing Damrosch cannot play anything of Beethoven," were confuted,' for he can follow unerringly the classic contour of the Second Symphony, exhibit beautifully Us Iterated patterns and Indicate Its composer's waxing romance.
