Show THE THEATRICAL WORLD Walker Whitssids in "The Magic Melody, Monday Night. Mr. Walker Whiteside lias many and admirers In Ogden, who. tuKetiur with the Ihealre-guin- g public in general, will be Interested in the following from the Seattle News anent his new play The Magic lie lady which w ill be presented at the Grand next Walker Monday evening: Whiteside has two more performances to give In Seattle on his present enat the Grand and the gagement theatre should be packed at each one. Nothing more interesting or delightful in the way of a play has been seen here this season. The company though small is one of the strongest and most evniy balanced ever seen In Seattle. Of the star, Mr. Whiteside, superlatives are the best In describing his work. This is the reason why the Grand should be filled. Mr. Whiteside came to Seattle a. comparative stranger. That he has had a classical and romantic role la well kown. but owing to the peculiar conditions which jirevail in this rather peculiar country, Mr. Whitesides excellent reputation was of no avail with the average theatergoer, for it seems to be necessary to have a Broadway reputation before an actor or actress la thought worth while. In the present case it is up to Seattle people to turn out and help discover" this young actor who la certain to be one of the country's greatest actors before another decade rolls around. Other cities have "discovered Mr. White-sid- e and they are very properly swelling up and boasting of the fact. Seattle must get In line and show that It appreciates real acting, real merit, real dramatic temperament without having it labeled and sent out with a guarantee. It is said that in "The Magic Melody, the title of Mr. Whitesldee play, he appears In his first modern role, It being hla first play in which costumes have not been necessary. If this be true his performance at the Grand is more evidence of the eterling merit of the actor. Costume plays, be they of the old classical school, or romantic in character, call for more or- frit-nd- Mrs. Victor Howard Metcalf.

"It does, said the teller. While the man In the cage waa looking the check over the woman fumbled in her hand bag and then plaewd - a bill before him. "Take It out of thla, please, she aid. "It arema to me I'll never get through paying bills. For n moment the teller was Then he realised that the woman didn't understand the check. "You dont have to pay me, he aald; I have to pay you four dollara.' He pushed back her bill and gave her four dollars in silver. The woman was very much surprised. "You have to pay me?" she aald "Why, I thought it waa a bill and I had to pay It. A dow of been some time since she appeared In Beattie and lu-mpiil rise from Ingenue parts with Eravvley to the position of leading unman has attracted much notice. Her work Thursday evening showed that she lias deserved her presaiit place. It was a girlish Cloris at times, womanly at others, when the irisis was about to occur, becoming intensely human, her whole idea being to turn and tight for the man she loxed. Miss Buckley is natural, with no heroics. Tears are suppressed, and a quiet dignity prevails that expresses far more than words. Then she is beautiful and graceful and young, which with talent s a rare combination. Little haa been said about the play for the reason that the attention ia most concern al with the star and hia company, yet the play must be given a big share of the credit for tile triumph won. It was written by Gordon Kean. It savors of The Uou and the Mouse, and of The Musle Master, without being in any way an imitation. It can atand on Ita own footing as a thoroughly attractive play and one that will be a delight for yeara to come. The irresistible combination of star company and play Is sure to win a ucceea. The Beattie theatre-goe- rs owe a vote of ihanka to Llebler & Company for sending the combination to Seattle.

The actor who follows those plays unconsciously gets into the pose and finds It moat difficult to avoid it when he puts on a 'dress suit. Yet in Mr. Whitesides case there Is an entire absence of pos- ing, one would think that he had been playing modem drama and comedy all bis life. Mr. Whiteside la a disciple of the modern achool. He believes In natural effects. He haa great reserve power Weekly. and at no time does he let hla emotions run riot, even the intense scenes being csrrled through with a marked suppression of feeling. Yet the physical aide of Mr. Whltaldea acting la not Its beat aide. It la hla pure artistic temperament that illumes and convinces He has combined the Intellectual and physical until they Join evenly and make a balance that results in the perfect actor. The little company of artists that surround Mr. Whiteside are all excellent and they work so smoothly with the star that the effect la one of beauty. There la not an unnatural action or heroic seen In the play. Every word la in perfect tune. Harmony best describes It. "Natural and Great, are two words that are common but they tell the whole story.
