who gave a simply splenda pér- formance as the dashing and de- bonair

Artist young French "Bonn!" (whose debts, and vicis- situdes are the crux of the plot). He sang and played' his part with such virility and spontaneous charm that he will go down in the annuals of the Society as the best "Hero" who has ever ap- peared for them. He was absolute- ly the life and soul of the plece.

Becond only to him comes Anne Winter (The Street Singer), who, played the name-part with grace and charm. Her delightful voice was heard in varying types of song, and was equally good in all. The simple pathos of Heart's, De- sire was most appealing, but she was every bit as good in that lively "number "Follow Yvette." She was faultless in all her concerted work, and looked as sweet in her rags of the first act as in the gor-. geous gowns she wore later.

The Soubrette part was cleverly but-over by Elsie Alexander, as that lively minx Estelle, and she made the most of a light soprano In the amusing song "A Perfect Little Lady," dancing daințlly on several occasions.

Once again E. Cockle was con- tent to play only a small part, but played it superlatively well,

So well, in fact, that he might have stepped right out of Mourguet's

"Vie de Boheme.” His portrayal of Armands was just exactly» right. Another big success in a small part was scored by D. Kossick as the old Picture-Dealer. Most amusing in all his scenes, he was specially good in the trio with Yvette and Bonni "Fortune Has Smiled."

She should be less forth right, and more of # Vamp. Apart from this small criticism she spur kept her part going well.

Bob Henderson as Francois was very good and best of all in his scenes with the artful Uttle Dress- maker Violette, when he played up to her splendidly.

"HUSBAND NUMBER TWO"

As Violette, that very versatile actress, Nina Valentine made a great hit in a part different from any I have seen her play before, but which she attacked with de lightful vivacity and all her usual charmful personality. As the fascinating French Dressmaker on the lookout for "Husband Num- ber Two" she carried off her comedy scenes with a high hand, and put no end of sparkle into the amusing duet in the fast act, when she was well seconded by the re luctant lover Francois in the number.
