Fortunately no such painful cornlsteney has been followed In this exquisite and eUborato version of a classic of the musical come dy stage. Hence the ' pretty maidens f the most celebrated number of the Jiece are svelto nnd not buxom and the spectator does not have to take the pret. tlness vocalised by their cavaliers on faith, but merely to take a look. Tho rest of tho reUvni, personally di rected by J. J.

"Phre nology"' It's surprising how many hits tho score contains all won many re calls. This was partly on thlr merits and Partly on the merits, both In singing and comedy, of the wholly admirable chorus. and tho well-balanced cast. Kieanor Painter, the Dolores, though she lacks magnetism and tho diablerie of the Spanish girl, is really a grand opera singer, and she sang In approved grand operatic style. There was little of the "haut ton" about Dama Sykes, but her vivacity helped to compensate for the smartness Edna Wallace Hopper im parted to the blase and arlitocratlc Lady Hollyrood. Walter Woolf the Aber cied, brought distinction both of singing and acting to the role of the romantic hero. The Gilfain of It G Pitkin, a familiar figure In musical shows, was nicely vulgarian without being vulgar. and William Danforth. of the older dis pensation of light opera comedians, was dellciously droll as the eccentric Twee dlepunch. Naco BonvllK who made L-eandro a properly sinister person, was In the original cast. "Florodora" as revived has much his torlc Interest, but deserves commenda tion not merely as an antique ; It Is llvelv and enjoyable entertainment of the present as well as a curio of the past. Jirr singing gains for her the leading rote In, the opus. She has a pleAsIng per sonality nnd her voice shows great prom ise. Ben Forbes, a protege of Charles M Schwab, discloses n tenor voice of good quality James B. Carson, as the theatrical "angel." has comedy methods that won deserved laughter. Hal Skclly proved tho hit of the show with his dancing and .bright "peppy" ways. His hearty Teceptlon was worthy of the effort he made to entertain, liddle Dowllng, another vigorous droll, was admirable John Uelnhard has the rolo of tho composer.

In the art of creeping Into the h'arts of her audience Surrounded by a company nf unusual excellence Miss Hnyes nevertheless succeeded In remaining for every sec ond of her appearance the central figure in the Interest nnd affection of all be holders And. most of nil. Miss Hayes should be congratulated that shi per sisted In making of "Bab" always tho romantic, humorous "sub-deb," not the sentimental hackneved heroine if certain members of the cast should bo singled out for praise above the rest that distinction must go to Sam Ed wards, who made "Bab's" father a stage creation of naturalness nnd humor that will long linger In people's memories, and Tom Powers, who Is a great deal more than the nverage stage hero. As for Mr. Carpenter's work, the only further word needed Is to say that It Is several degrees above "The Cin derella Man." and that It reaches Its highest point by Its Inimitable finale, which Is as thoroughly delightful as It Is unexpected 'MARY'S' RETURN WELCOMED ANOTHER BEDROOM FARCE "The Girl In the Limousine" Opens! niKht as new Season at Adelphl Adelphi Like most of Its fanciful companions of the last two seasons, where the bedroom plays the moat im portant part In creating the comedy, 'The Girl In the Limousine." despite aheerness of attire on the part of several of Its characters and situations which.

There Is Indeed no profiteering In material In this production, for tho di rector hns supplied plenty of details for the unfolding of tho talc. In fact, there seems to be a bit too much for the spec tator to follow nnd the tempo Is conse quently slowed up a bit.
