Scranton last night had an oppoitu nlty of seeing the much discussed, muc h abused "Children of the Ohetto," the stage creation of Istael Kangvvill, au thor of a set les of sketches of tho same name and the special pleader for a bettei, purer and nobler drama. One of Scranton's best audiences saw the piny nnd went homo satisfied as to the reason It has been abused, hut not eiulte able to comprehend why It has been so long and loudly discussed. Assuredly it is not a drama, not oven a series of skillful vvi ought out nnd faithful pictures of the lives of th people of the Jewish quattor of Lon don. Only In a hazy and unsatisfac tory wuy does It present the Hebrew types. In depleting the home life of the Hebiews Znngwlll Is a trifle more satlsfjlng but he would Insist on lug ging in the most grotesque characters for the sake of comedy effects, just as nn oidlnaiy playwrlte who was in the. business for money, might have don? Sir. Zangwlll Is here to give the stage a mission, to make it better and high er and all that sort of thing, nnd we had a light to expect better things fiom him. Yet there he calmly Intro duces us to a woman one of his types, heaven forefend who constantly ie minds those within her heatlntr that her lower extiemltles are not mate? and explains the whjs and wheiefores of natuie's lather one-sided tieatment of her means of locomotion. Intense ly funny, Isn't It'.' Delightful humor. Zatufwell bi'lleves thcie Is humor In legs. Another of his c hai actets this time n male has legs that wobble aioiind even more tenlfvinglv tlixn his eves and his affections. This dis gusting Imbecile, who nevet had a counteiput In any quaitei of any city, and is a libel on any iace, was also IntioJuced for comedy effect. The Poet Pinch is wes lltU bitter, and w is onlv undo tolerable by the splen did woik ol 'William Xorrls. If tin ie is not a little to abhor and much to cenuie In the 'ChUdicn ot the nhetto" It aKo h is some strong points. The diameter of "ltb ' She iiiuel, the Ohetto labbl, is magnificent to contemplate and as nngnlfltetit In the iutupictation It leceived at the hands of Wilton Lnoka.ve. Ills nit and his mnkt up were well nUh perfection. The other lcdeemlng leatuie of the Zangwill play Is the heart Inteict in tioduced by Pav Id Brandon nnd Han nah, the daughter of Kabbl Sheniuel, who feivently love cadi othci. This Incident of the play war mot admir ably piesented bv Hobett IMes-on and Hosabel Morrison. The cast, In its en tirety, was the b'est teen in Scranton this season and the piny wns staged most admirably. Yob can't make a play with scenery and people, how ever, and "The Children of the Ghet to" If llkelv to end Its career before the henson wanes. The Gay Masqueraders. "The Gay Masqueradeis" company last evening opened a three days' en gagement at the Academy of Music and plajed to a large and very well satisfied audience. The eompnny Is .a good one, possessing several actots and actresses above the average In abil ity, and some specialty artists ex tremely clevet In their line of woik. From tho opening burlesque, "Hotel Do Cake Walk." until the close of th evening the company had the audi ence's fullest attention nnd good will. In the opening skit Harry lltown, at Hezeklah Phosphates fiom Kubevlllo, made a goodslzed hit. but rather over did tho rough and tumble pait of hli act by falling all over himself on every possible occasion, and making a specialty of dropping down a illB.it of steps evetv thtee minutes. In the olio excellent specUltles were Introduced by Swift and Iluber, mu sical enteitalners, and theli dot? "Blooteh:" ".lollv" Ida Howell, song stttss; Cailos and Wultttl, dancing ncrobats, and especially by KJgar W. Palfrey, expert cvcllst. This latter young man Is n Londoner nnd lode his wheel Inst nlijlit In a manner little shoit of nrervelous. He gave what Is probably the best exhl bltlon of Its kind evei seen In this city, and made a big hit. Th performance closed vith a bur lesque entitled, "The Philippines." which intiociuceci Miss PassIo Stanton In a series of beautiful pests. The performance will be icpeated today and tomorrow afternoon nnd evening. Utopian Burlesquers. The 1'toplan Hurlesqueis, who open ed a three duvs' engagement nt tho Gaiety estetday afternoon, gave on of the bilghtest and best entertain ments that has been witnessed at that house this season. From start to fin ish the show ubounds with popular music und fun, with but little to ells gust In the way of vulgarity which the average burlesque actor seems to think is necessary to please a Scran ton audience, and cheap local gags wero few anei fur between. It Is true thut some of the tome dlans found It necessnty to squirt I water fiom a seltzer bottle Into eucn other faces, but much of tho fun was nearly up-to-date, with no reference to shanty hill or nny of tho saloon keepers of the city. Some good spec ialties vveie presented by Clara 4d nnis, who sings coon songs with prop er accent If not expression; the Thto Gardners, musical artists; Flynn and Dexter, and Barton Ashley. The per formance concludes with a sketch en titled "Hotel Hai'zlo Dazrle." which li a decidedly lively and amusing finish to an excellent burlesque entertain ment. The Utopians will be at the! Gaiety today and tomorrow afternoon and evening. A Female Drummer. Charles 11. lllnnev, the successful author-manager, Is a Aim believer In Bhovv printing, nnd has provided his new comedy, "A tvnmlo Drummer," which will bo seen nt the Lvccum this evening, with a large and varied ns soitmcnt of lithograph work: In fact, the printing Is a sample of the lavish manner In which he Is sending out his new piny. The cast Is the best Mr. Ulancy could engage. Th company, which numbers foity people, Is beaded bv Johnstone Hen nott, nsslsted by Mr. Unity Lncioll and James Smith, for years Identified with the Hoyt foiccs; Tony Wllllnms, .i clever chniactcr actoi ; "Willie P. Hwcatman, tho Inimitable negro Im personator, and Nelllf O'Nell, the charming little soubrelte. The Last of the Rohuus. It Is sild that In "The Last of tho Kohnns" ndrew Mack's new play, which ho presents for the llret time In this city, nt the Lvocum, Wednesday evening nest, the popular singing comi'dl'in is bound to make an Imme diate hit. The piece, which was spe cially written for hlni by Knrr.v.iv Morris, nuthor of "An Irish Ge-ntle-man," provides him with tin attractive role which will enable him tn If not only vastly entei talnlng In a comedy way, but to demonstinte again that he lsan actor of sterling dramntlc quali ties as well. Mr. Mack Is such a staunch local fnvoiitV that he can readily count on a crowded and enthusiastic audience to welcome his now play. The Grip of Steel. An nttractlon for the last half of this week at the Academy will bo an unusually attractive drama entitled "A Grip of Steel. This play Is In four acts and twelve scoren end Arthur Shit ley and Hen LancVck nre its nuth ois. It has enjoyed a seven years' run In nngland and is now In Its second successful season In this countiy. HonJnrrc the leadlng character, Is the chief of a band of outlaws. By the aid of clever dlsgulies he eludes the vigilance of the police for venri. To his sightless wife, whom he adores, he Is goodness itself, nnd op account of his love for her he ene'eavors to change his reprehensible career, but Is unable to do so One of the mem bers of his band, who is endeavoring by fraud to gain an inheritance, be ttays him to the police nnd later falls a victim to his captain's vengeance. Konjiire excites deep sympathy tluoughout on account of his gener ous nature and the pine affection hi displays for his afflicted wife. The comedy element of the piece Is naturally Inti educed and highly amus ing. "A Grip of Steel" Is said to be handsomely staged nnd to be presented by an unu-u.ill itionff company of plajers. Fields.' Minstrels Great people make gteat business concern'. Gieat people make great amusement enterprises. Acting upon thlh thesis. Al. G.
