BOunded blase biaso and superiorly cynical and many unthinking people believe such asser assertions assertions assertions of stage worthlessness On that same saIne evening the dramatically strong strongest strongest strongest est three plays within as many years were In Broadway along with three musical comedies of operatic grade and the appreciation of their merits had bad been so BO keen that all six were to re remain remain remain main the season through At the same time tim offered fourteen star brand actors In modern plays irre irreproachable morally as aa well a as popular enough to have stayed In that street of theaters one to seven months each Then too there were six els b more moro plays pl ys of song 8 ng dance and antic led by tal tat talented talented merrymakers without affront to anything save savo dignity To offset the worth had and nd propriety of ot those twentysix twenty sIx Eix plays there were running only two of obnoxious indecency Of course the usual number of traveling burlesques and crude melodramas were in town for forthe forthe the week but is the Broadway round roundup roundup up tip discouraging It a night to complain more moreover moreover moreover over for tor much standard old drama Is available this week such as IlI Ibsen de delivered livered by Mrs Fiske and good com corn comrades comrades I rades Sheridan Gilbert and Shake Shakespeare Shakespeare speare by the Ben Greeters Shako speare by the and Sheridan and Shakespeare at the New theatre Until now those thoe appreciative of Isben tried to be con content content

with other m of the matter besides herself herselt as the Norwegian woman who brings home to vindicate a man who has work worked worked worked ed out tile own salvation in America Ibsen Once More Ibsen has haa passed through the process of discussion and some into ordinary use Although Pillars of Society la Is 1 acted in America less than any other of his dramas of realism It was the first when at one experimental per performance performance performance George Fawcett gave it with Alice Fischer Elizabeth Elisabeth Tyree and other recent graduates of ot the Lyceum school of ot acting Six years yara ago when Wilton Lackeye was playing an en engagement engagement engagement he h gave it a first profession professional al presentation at a matinee a very bad one Uh ith hardly any role well memorized and Lackaye the of all The third play of ot Shakespeare to be put Into the New theatres repertory is la laA isA IsA A Winters Tale It Is given Kiven In the Elizabethan rianner of own stagecraft as aa nearly as research reveals with no other than tine fine oak panels and Outdoor passages are placed on a Q front stage and indoor ones in a higher big her alcove at atthe atthe atthe the back The use of the two sections In quick alternation eliminates delays obviates the necessity of ot rearrange rearrangement rearrangement ment merit and facilitates a delivery of ot the entire text as written w itt n Superb is the tho word to apply to much of ot the acting especially to Edith Wynne and andRos Rose Paul Paulino Pauline Paulins ins ino And not one play worth seeing in New York I What part would Julia Marlowe have taken In A Winters Tale if It she and Sothern had hd stayed at the New theatre where they were engaged as members of the stock company comp J Y Th layout in included Included their participation In three thre Shakespeare re plays in two of ot which 1 neither fr had acted They got only so I far as a Antony and Cleopatra and then retired leaving tearing and Viola in Twelfth Night to Oswald Yorke and his wife Annie Russell So much we know But how about A Winters Tale Southern proposed playing Leontes and MiSS Mss Marlowe his unhappy queen Hermione but was she also to enact their daughter r the blithesome Perdita I do not know Since Mary Mar Anderson assumed both characters In one cast it has become so the custom that the present generation forgets that It was not always SO BO Yet Agnes Booth was waa well w n advanced In years and dignity when her ber er Hermione was waa proclaimed aa as close upon perfection And could one fancy either of those massive memo memories memorIe ries rIe re Charlotte Cushman or Fanny hek whose squeezed tears from the driest eyes e es coming corning on at the last as the girlish loving care carefree carefree free tree Perdita Mary Andersons revival of ot A Win Winters WInters tars Tale This nearly a quarter of a cen con century centUry tury ago was the most brilliant success of ot her great career and also term i it In London by the way her Leontes was J Forbes Robertson But when she came to show her dual im tin impersonation impersonation she he brought John H old Barnes now an actor of eccentric men but then gushed over as Hand Handsome Handsome Handsome some Jack Barnes Lydia Thomp Thompsons Thompsons Thompsons sons daughter aughter Zeffie Zeffle Tilburg was the Paulina which subsidiary role Lady Tree chose to play in her husbands i sumptuous revival of a few tew years ago I Speaking of ot a star selecting a minor role when Kathryn Kidder Charles harles B Hanford and Louis James formed their Shakespearean partnership James Jamea was wasby wasby wasby by long odds adds dds the foremost In fame tame and talent and he be was quite rightfully tho the Hamlet Othello and Macbeth Ml cbeth but when A Winters Tate Tale T was waa added to the th repertory presumably for Miss Kid Kidders Kidders ders dors sake sak he let Mr Hanford have Leontes and cast himself for the brief and incidental But I wander from tram the question whether Julia Marlowe would have fol followed followed to lowed the tradition Instituted by Mary Anderson or have gone back to the days of Charlotte Cushman Cushinan Until now only two revivals of any importance have been made of A Winters Tale Viola Allens and the and in each the star actress played both Hermone Hermione and Perdita Herbert Beerbohm Tree kept kent Hermione and nci Perdita separate for two obvious reasons On the other hand the re revival revival reviva vival viva was designed to bring forth Ellen Terry for the first time tune under another management than Henry Irvings and at 60 O Ellen was a splendid mother but was Impossible as a girl On the other hand Sir Herbert wits was then studiously giving his daughter Viola Tree every very opportunity to shine as IlI a sort of ot star yet not show herself herselt as a lanky novice All of ot us have frequently and pro profoundly profoundly been reminded that two wrongs do not make m ke a right Yet two nega negatives negatives negatives tives do make mal e a positive dont they So perhaps it should not be surprising to find that two theatrical misses may ma make one hit Among the several must musi musical cal cat frolics put on for the warm weather diversions of New York last summer was The Girl It fall fail I but then it succeed It was an agreeable entertainment but the other novelties were so BO positive in their at attractions attractions tractions that the public forgot about It Tho The same sort of thing happened a few months ago in the case of ot The King of ot Now observe one of ot the benefits of centralized management In Instead Instead instead stead of ot losing the good things of these plays playa because they were overborne by bythe bythe bythe the ineffectual we get them blended in ina Ina ina a really single bright and new version of ot The Motor Girl Not only the starred Emma Corns Cams v c I In n 5 jT t ps i i 1 J i x r 4 2 s I b ill J a 1 t

reputations in vaude vaudeville yule ville and bring their own songs into extravaganza In the first act Miss Carus Cams leaves the leading role much as it was written for Georgia Crane Crone and while she BO so pretty she sings much better Hearing her deep tones lifted musically up to the alluring waltz song the mos attractive of ot the Julian Edwards score one Is reminded that Jean de is a baritone trained up to a tenor Later Cams Carus has bas her ber ups and downs following in CaInes Cables foot footsteps footsteps footsteps steps but things go all her own way when she ehe Introduces new matter made to suit her bel I might say that tho the buxom bosom Emma might have less trouble if It she followed in only the footsteps of ot the svelte Georgia But she follows her tier into trousers And Anda a more unpleasing boy than this short pudgy actress makes it would be difficult to fancy It is ismore ismore more agreeable to recall how much more humor she gets out of Tho The Queen of the Dairy Lunch than did her predecessor predecessor cessor True the song is none too deli delicately delicately delicately cately or neatly phrased with its oft repeated line lino She was broke in by the brokers rokers But the th shrinking violet is not Emma Carus Cams torte forte She is at her Jovial best In a brand span new Irish song with a tune that easily sets the gallery whistling One has no reason to expect comicality from her fashionable fashion fashionable fashionable able attire But when she screws her ber face into a Hibernia smirk she hangs her hat down on her head into a semb semblance semblance semblance lance of ot a battered St Patricks day stovepipe and swishes her lace coat out in Inba back k of her like Uke the flapping napping tails of at ofa ata

sweet ones rather than those that ore are sharp and indigestible And she sings Come Along Pretty Girl quite as charming charmingly ly as Marguerite Clark did which Is saying much Ethel Etbel Green is
