Show MARC ANTONY IS H COMING TO LOGAN And So Will Our Old 9 Friend Mr. Caesar. II '1 Whole Bunch of Romans ; wfl Due on the 23rd. ' Charles H Ilanford, who last season BBJ broke the record for seat sales at tho BB Thatcher opera house, comes to Lo- BB gan on Tuesday, April 23, this tlmo as 9B Marc Antony In "Julius Ca'sar." Last BBJ year the entire house was sold out in fBBJ one hour and forty minutes, and tho jBBj satisfaction Ilanford and his company flBj gave warrants the belief that he will BB break his own record this year. ' jflBJ Charles H. Ilanford has appeared ijl with the greatest actors on the stage BBJ during the past twenty years, belrg BB with William Stafford In '82. In '8:1, BBJ '81 and 1835 ho was with Thomas W. BBJ Kecnc in Shakespearean production?, BBJ Including "Julius Ca'sar;" then with BBJ Edwin Booth, Hooth and Barrett, BBJ Booth and ModJeska, Julia Marlowe, )BBJ and In 1892 03 made his first tour at BBJ the head of his own company. At this BBJ time ho presented "Julius Ca'sar" and BBJ "Ingoraar." In 1801 Mr. Ilanford and BBJ Mrs. John Drew appeared together, RBI and In 1800, he headed his own com- IBJ pany in Shakespearean productions, BBJ continuing thus until this Ills thlr- BBJ tccntli annual tour. "Julius Ciwsar" JBBJ has been Mr. Hnnford's most success- BBJ ful work. Of his appearance In Jack- BBl son, Mls, a fow days ago, T)Q Clar- BBJ Ion-Ledger sajs in part: 'BBJ "Mr Ilanford, who Is perhaps the ' BBJ most llnlshed tragedian on the Amcrl- ' BBJ can stage, and who has presented all (BBJ of Shakespeaie's tragedies, and many ikflB of his comedies, appeared In the at- 'BBJ tractive part of Marc Antony, which IflBJ helms often plajcd to the Brutus of ), JjBBBJ Hooth and the Casslus of Hairclt, and nBBJ it is doubtful If a better Antony was !BBJ ever cast for the pai t. Certainly he Is )9b1 the very best we have had hi Jackson, ifBB aud the sublime old tragedy has been BBJ presented hero by eminent actois. It 'BBJ may be said with truth that his An- lBSl tony Is perfect In every respect-dress, 'iBB movement, gesture and speech Not BBJ only peifect, but superbly grand BBJ great without apparent cITort. His 'BBJ addicss to the populace, after the 'BBJ speech of Brutus, was a line piece of j dBBBJ declamation, a bit of oratory that iBJ would have done credit to any of tho 'BBJ great speakers of the period port raj ed ' lBJ In the drama. The audience cheered iBBJ him to the echo after he had llnlshed ' JBB his oration over tho dead body of flB Ca'sar. Nothing could have been 'tBH grander or more realistic, aud for the IBB lime one forgot that he was witness- iflBj Ing a mimic play, so real and natural iBBI did everything scorn, so Impressive BBJ and Inspiring was tho scene. Han- BBl ford's stylo of declamation reminds BBJ ono forcibly of the great Lamar when jBB aroused, and the phllllplcs he hurled BBJ against the alien and carpet-bagger In BBJ tho terrible days of reconstruction. WJ "Hut Ilanford Is not only a dcclalmcr iBJ ho is a llnlshed actor one of tho :flBj best of this or any other time aud far BJ superior to many of the stars who have IBB preceded him. Ho stands close to tho BB standard sot by Hooth, McCullougli ' BJ and Barrett, and Is taking the place iM of those distinguished tragedians, who BBl have passed to their eternal sleep. Ho JBBJ Is a hard and industrous worker, and BBl is rapidly reaching tho topmost round JBBJ In the ladder of his profession, Improv- BBJ Ing with each recurring season, and BJ destined to occupy tho pinnacle alone. BB Ho has within him all the elements of JBBJ an actor magnetism, voice, physique, BBJ intelligence, graco and naturalness BBl and with all theso attributes it Is not 'BBJ surprising that ho should sway an BB audience with word and gesturo as tflBJ few men can. Mr. Ilanford has good iBBI support, which adds much to his 'Ju- BJ litis Caesar.' " bBJ ... 'BBl |
