I The present is the seventh year t these two celebrated artists have ap- poared in combination. Equal in tho esteem of theatergoers, even before their fortunate partnership, thoir us- eociaiion has giveu. in the modern thc-' thc-' i ater a now meaning to the Sbake- ' I spenroan masterpieces, bringing to the $ American stage an artistic partnership 5 equal to the Coquelin-Hading associa- tion of France, the Irving-Terry com- bination of London, and the Booth and r Modjeska partnership of tho past. With the conception of the true artist, and ' in proving their mastery of stagecraft, . 1 the Sorhcrn-Marlowe Shakespearean 1 productions have become synonymous r with the advanced art of the theater, 5 exhibiting tho utmost lavishness or presentment and enre and skill of cn- somblo. 3. That these artists have selected ,r "Macbeth" for their opening apnear-anco apnear-anco here is meeting with great favor with' theatergoers, as it, gavcst.them ideal opportunity to appear under the ; most favorable circumstances in I lie ' two great characters which they present, pre-sent, and to prove their mastery of f stage expression.. f'Mncbeth" is 'their latest production and is said to be the most massive and elaborate production ever given to the great drama.

"The Taming of the Shrew" gives IB.,' tho two ominent artists again oppor g', I tunity to appear in comedy, with M'ss Wt Marlowe as the spirited, vixenish Knth. tm ' eriu'e. nnd Mr. Sothcrn as the assert- ive Petruehio. In their "Romeo and B .Juliet," Mies Marlowe's portrayal of B; Juliet, "has become one of the classic H creations of the theater. Her beauty jM.. and charm have caused tho gracious jjj poetic character to live for present II 1 dny audiences; and in conjunction wit h M ' Mr. Sothern 's Romeo, "the two have ?S 1 been called the "ideal lovers of the jS .

She is assisted as-sisted in her act by her company of wire-walking o.vports. "After the Shower" is the title of one of those singing, talking and dancing danc-ing acts which, when they aro good, aro a joy to every patron of vaudeville. This lurn is I ho vohiclo of Lola Merrill and Frank Otto, a pair who have won their golden spurs as refined entertainers. enter-tainers. They aro both keen and clover, and withal good dressers, dancers and patter purveyors. "What's the Answer?" is accorded the place of the big scream on tho now bill. This is the title given to tho offer-! ing of Ihe Empire Comedy Four, a quartette of real singers and comedian!? just fresh from a Cwo years' assault as-sault on the risibility's, of - the inhabitants in-habitants of half a 'dozen' countries of Europe. They are said to ho the funniest fun-niest quartette in vaudeville today. In Miss '('or'ninc Francos, "tho su'iiny singer," is promised a bright, refreshing refresh-ing turn presented by an artist whoso assets include an unaffected girlish stage deportment, a good figure, a fine voice and tho power to use it to good effect.

For good measure there will bo two of them in the persons of (.'liristv and WillisI whoso mission on the circiiil is to extract laughs from Ihe individual with a grouch and send the audience away rejoicing.

It goes without saying that the kino-drome kino-drome will flicker off some of the very latest offerings in the motion picture lino, while the 'famous concert orchestra has in preparation some classy and lively musical numbers.. THIS is a week of history making at. the Garrick. Miss Maude. Fealy will make hor first appearance ap-pearance on the Garrick stage beginning this evening. Naturally, the Garrick management made a painstaking pains-taking selection airiong available plays for one in which to introduce the clever i little star to its patrons. "Glorious Betsy," Mary Mannoring's late sue coFsl'ul vehicle, was chosen; first, be cause In all that galnxy of brilliant plays which during the ptiBt few years havo come out of the east, ascending the theatrical firmament with those etars on whom the playgoers of the world's metropolis have placed their unstinted approval, there can bo found in all probability no more charming story of romantic love, and the play of human emotions against one auothcr, than "Glorious Betsy;" second, because be-cause the leading role of the play is a feminine role which, though strict in its limitations and requiring unstinted nbility and pronounced talont in its fiuccssful portrayal, is remarkably suited to the charming and dainty interpretations in-terpretations characteristic, of Miss Fealy. The etor.v of "Glorious Betsy" is interwoven in-terwoven with a little of that early his torv of France in the days of the ascendency of Napoleon's sun. In. its four acts there is laid open before Betsy Patterson the golden mirage of a wonderful life and land that closed upon her tear-dimmed eyes before tho picture had scarce fastened itself upon up-on her heart. The action of the play nponB in tho summer of IR08 at the old Mwcet Springs, Virginia. There Metsy. a ivnciotis. sparkling, dark-eyed American girl, is found engrossed with her French and no! a little interested in this wonderful man who has cnnie o be hor tutor. What there is about him to draw her to him so irrisistlbly Betsy cannot fathom, and yet from the very moment of thoir mooting it is apparent ap-parent that between these two Mo unsounded un-sounded depths that must bo plumbed before the denouement of tho story is to come. On through the various meetings and lessons with her tutor tho action takes Botsv until she and her father and their retinue of servants leavo Sweet Springs for thoir homo in Baltimore, whore Betsy's father is to have the honor of entertaining Captain Bonaparte, Bona-parte, Napoleon's brother, who was 1 the time on a visit lo the states. The second act finds tho Patterson homo gay with decorations and Betsy strangely missing as Ihe hour approaches ap-proaches for Captain Bonaparte and his staff to arrive. The family and sor-vnnls sor-vnnls aro frantic, with excitomcnU While the search is being made for tho missing young lady, she is holding a tele-a-tete with her formor tutor, who, strangely onough, turns up on the grounds during tho preliminary festivities. fes-tivities. In a charming scene between thoin, the love' I hat has been surging to the front the many months of the com-radsltip com-radsltip master's all else, and Betsy succumbs to tho dictates of her heart.

Betsy and her lover liear on all sides the exclamations of Hie servants slating that Captain Bona-parte Bona-parte 'has. 'arrived, but has lost hiin.solt on the grounds.

By his whole portrayal of tho part, and not b- any fragmentary mechanical device, should he so absorb the spectators specta-tors that, tho color of his face should become a matter of insignificance. "I have often been asked if in 'As Vou Like It,' when Orlando's bloody napkin .is shown to .Rosalind, and. according ac-cording to tho text, she turns pale, J powder 1113 face. 1 have never done this, partly for the reason that though I do at that point turn 1113 back to the audience, 1 do it for so brief a moment that 1 have no opportunity to powder my face. But 1 believe that it is not really necessary. I feel that if during this scene of the )Iay I act Rosalind skillfully enough, that the idea of her pallor will so take its place in the minds of the spectators that they will not concern themselves too much with the actual color of my face, The ability abil-ity to do this proceeds from that indefinable inde-finable something call if, temperament if you will which, though he must have much else, an actor, to be an actor, act-or, must have first and' most. "Moreover, pidy the reachiug of the very highest point in the theater can make the maiy steps in the direction of that point endurable. It is an ill thing to be a mediocre author, or a mediocre actor. To invest one's yout li and one's hopes and one's enthusiasm and then io gain anything but the whole prize this, in the theater, is a tragic fate. How many .voting persons there are who go upon the stage and spend their vouth, and their hope, aud their enthusiasm onlr lo find that; after af-ter all, a stage career is not. for them. There is then no place for them in the theater: and because the training they have received in the theater prepares them for nothiug but the theater, there is no place anywhere else in the world of endeavor. It is too kite to make a new beginning. , "A Winning .Miss," which comes to the Colonial theater for two days beginning be-ginning May 10. with Max Bloom aud a compun.v of sixty people, is said to be an unusually novel entertainment of the happv sort.
