Hun dreds who had stayed at home on Mon day turned out on Tuesday and the (Iran i was titled almost to overflowing-. And "Sapho" was worth It. That first act was a aurprlae. It w more an oxtrdvagania than drama The scene at the Parta bal masque waa pre sented fti., all its gorgeous, voluptuous beauty. The dancing, the music. the wine and all the revelry—they would have made Bacchua wish himself on earth again. But ft was In the second act that "Sapho" revealed herself first. From her lovemaking In the beginning to her denunciation of careleee tongues at the end, It was perfect. And In the suc ceeding acts Mist Nethersole's power In emotional lines was shown as never before. The play Is a powerful one, a wonderful work—and Olga Nethersole Is worthy of It. As In the previous plays, the work of ' Kiank Mills stood head and shoulders above the rest.

The supporting company appeared to much better advantage than In "Adri enne," and It is probable that the cast was chosen more with a view to the more popular play. The dancing of Miss Qulnlnn In the masked ball scene was a really beuuliful bit. William ('link, as Uncle Cesalre, gave a splen did hit of comedy. The play?

D. G. At the Bijou. After many weeks of musical comedy, the Bijou Is presenting this week a sterling comedy drama of the Blancy brand, entitled “Old Isaacs of the Bow ery'."

Old laaaca re veals a world of pathos, with very clov er dramatic effects Interwoven and at "Pportune times there Is some clover o-nedy Introduced which makes one smile nmld tears. The play deals with the life of Old Isaacs, an Installment man, on the Bowery dining the civil war days. Isaacs waa noted for hla honesty, ready wit and especially for the fact that he would always extend a helping hand to a suffering brother. The play Is In four acts, each filled with Interesting situations and clear cut dialogue. The characters are well drawn and exceed ingly well portrayed. Special praise Is due Harry First for Ills very conscientious work and fidel ity to the character portrayed. The re. malnder of the company Is made up of good material and the show morrs with if smoothness that bespeaks good stage ifianagement.
