Show Uncle Isaac Max Fehrmann assisted by 211 James H Meades Xew York company appears at the theatre this evening for the first time in the great representative Hebrew drama of Uncle Isaac which has had such a successful run in San Francisco and the other citie3 of the Pacific coast Referring to this piece the Eureka Sentinel of last Tuesday says This play was rendered in Eureka last night for the first time with Max Pehrmann in the principal role The piece is as the name suggests a representation o ± the Hebrew character as observed both in business and society in the United States Mr Perhmann is natural and precise in his delineation deline-ation his action evincing the happy union of native talent for the part and much careful study He may be said to idealize the character by his consistency inaction in-action and expression and by putting in all that the situation demands de-mands He appeals like many a Hebrew of our acquaintance might appear under similar circumstances No one of these could in every respect re-spect take Uncle Isaacs place in the role yet he can bring to our minds all of them and by one vivid stroke generalize the characteristics of the Hebrew race as we know them The most noticeable feature in Mr Pehrmaims altogether firstrate acting act-ing is the delicacy with which he develops fully the possibilities of his part without ever straining a point for the sake of effect Nothing harsh or affected but Uncle Isaac pure and unadulterated from beginning be-ginning to end The supporting cast was good Bokee as Rodney Hartwell was strong and if he is to be criticized it may be said that his tones and expression were attunes at-tunes labored and overmelodram atic Miss Wren as the hopeful but giddy son of Uncle Isaac made an agreeable impression on the audience audi-ence by her delicate and sometimes cute way of acting and singing as well as bv her most becoming and stylish attire Miss Baldwin a lady of handsome appearance sang admirably two popular Irish songs Messrs Adams and Allen as Harold Sloper and Old Probs were cleverly gotten up and made their parts interesting contributing greatly to the spirited development ot the plot Just such another play we cannot expect to see and those who do not avail themselves of the present opportunity will wish they had when Uncle Isaac is gone The box office opens this morning for the sale of reserved seats which can be had without additional charge |
