Tha story which is unfolded in th's set-4aa Is of lesser dramatic value though of "jHf--dramatic workmanship.

So It was sovei from which the play has Readers of i "The Girden of Ices Impicssed with tha tale 5 t. gade monk and his eventual re-tr. a monastery' than with tha de-" criptlons of the North African country, with Its oriental mysticism and the singular aairm of the great silence of the Sahara. 'The fact that the same Is true of the ramatlc version can be regarded only as Remove from the "Garden of jajlah" the glitter and the pomp of stage trapping and its Interest would be Immensely reduced, Just as the Interest of the book would be minimised were the pages of descriptive matter, the word painting, to be obliterated. Somebody has said that "The Garden of Allah" 11 the desert dramatised.

Jt Is more than that, however, for It has also the garden of Count Anteoni as ons of its great-sat assets. That it should appeal primarily as a pictorial reproduction of the great silence of he Africsn tand waste is readily undcrtuod by any one who has an acquaintance witli the navel whence rt was taken. The Ltebiers saw an opportunity It was not a euextlon of stage management in aa for as it pertained to masses of peopla. pantomimic representation, mob effects and other tricks in which numbers of people count. The Painter and the electrician had to be the magicians In this There Is Cjt beauty in the settings.

for they are mood-creating as well as im pressive to the eye. The very first panorama and the succeeding pictures each In their own way aufrrest the locale, while the Arabs and1 Honrs In their picturesque boismouaes and kaftiinn, wandering to and zto. speaking their unintelligible tongues and suggesting, tire customs of their African home, gave vividness to the action. The dramatists have succeeded better than might have been expected In presenting the- kernel of the story In dramatic form. Practlcallj- all extrane ous matter was discarded nnd the play de voted entirely to the telling of Father An-toine'a love for Domini, their marriage and the final solution of their strange romance.

Tha character of the renegade, monk per mitted of the widest scope of emotional acting, thetkgh this struggle was nothing more than the old one between love and sv situation which ha been 'the source of Innumerable dramas under various guises nd oondlUoca He was a sort of pilgrim hi search of that Illusive something which We call peace and Every human tielne; is searching for that. Human life Is nothing- more than one grand and overpowering search for the summutn bonura. for that satisfaction which no living being attains, for the simple reanon that perfection Is not a mundane quality, solne was more picturesque in his search and sought forJt in more picturesque sur-roundlngs than characterize the longings of the average human being. His material la dramatic In as far as It goes. The means employed for Its development and for the telling at! how It spent Its force are meager of dramatic novelty, though by no means wn I teres In g.

Music where the production Is be- raar given, is a targe auditorium, and It takes many' thousands to ml It even eom. fortably night after night. Many who are toot regular theater-goers must be attracted wy such a production to take up the audi ences, and this means that many out-of- town visitors must be brought here. It seem a mat mis is being accomplished. The popularity of the Zlegfeld extrava- iranaas, with taelr sensational features cf costume or rather, lack of coatnme seems to ns on the wane.

At any event, "A Winsome Widow." which was ax the Grand last week. Created no great box-office excitement. And the reason is not very difficult to find. It has been tbe custom of some of those who make these productions to trade on the reputation of the piece as It Is re sented on Broadway. Only too frequently the merit of the company reduced when it takes the rnad.

and this was the glaring fault of "A Winsome. Widow." The pany was an Inferior, Apart from Prank Tinner and Harry there was little or no cleverness to atone for the attenuated 'comedy of the book. Even- the famed beauty chorus did not seem to care. more true- each vear a these productions make their rounds. 1 general public ,1 becoming aware of the fact that the risque Is being made a feature of these shows, atid that something daring in the line of costuming may be expected.

A great many people are willing to admit of these thine, provided there is some otiitr merit to the production. But many of thrm will not care to come if thrt Is the only bl.1 for popular favor. "A Winsome Wdow." as it was given at the Grand la-t week, had little else to offer. Hence, the went the rounds after tbe opening performance that the was dull and bars-legged, and the attendance diminished frcm per formance to performance instead of creasing. That is always a sure sixn in an attraction' of till kind that the public does not care to be It uas sometiiing else to do.

The rwunlon of Dockstaoer and Primrose has resulted in the beet minjtiel show which has been here this season. There have been three of these entertainments here this season, and Dockstader ami Primrose happened to be the last. They were th best, but had they been bere earlier they would have more nearly attained the support they merited than was tha case at the Lyric last week. The public Is wiltins to patronise a little minstrelsy each season, but three shows In two months Is a littie more than It require. Even at that the attendance last week was quite As a waole, the week was only a fair one at the theaters.

"The Garden of Allah" grew steadily as the days went along, though the capacity of Music Hall has not yet been tested. "A Winsome Widow" did poorly at the Grand, and tha minstrels were fair at the Lyric. B. F. Keith's had good houses, and the Empress auto did well.

The Orpheum Is doing better in the evenings, and the Walnut had a fairly good week of It with 'the musical farce, "Don't Lie To Tour Wife." Both burlesque houses were well supplied and bad good weeks. FOYER FLASHES.
